What’s wrong with this dumpster fire of a resume? Be brutal

[inland fox]

not necessarily bad, shows there was redundant code and he was able to make it more efficient

the leadership and achievements section is kinda redundant, at least the three entries i can see. idk about the other two, but id consider removing it or moving the truly impressive ones under your education section. it doesnt add enough value to take up that much space

first project seems good, venture funding makes it strong, id do a third project to replace the leadership section, and ultimately replace the second project when you get time down the line

but 4 bullets for projects with 2 bullets for experiences is a bad look

i'd seriously overhaul your exp bullets, try to write a bit more

TA is good to have, with two semesters left you could try to get into research, would be pretty valuable on this resume

overall youre competitive but not coasting, youll get good mid-sized offers if the market doesnt screw you over, getting a shot at big tech will unfortunately be more up to timing and some luck

i mean its not super flashy, its not the sort of work thats gonna like rizz a recruiter

but it is needed work and is one of those skills we all have to kind of develop as we keep working, so not bad imo

Yeah coming to think of it, I could probably phrase it better. It's wasn't simply deleting lines, rather phasing out a redundant feature we didn't use anymore

[faint tree]

Agreed. I just added those to put some brand names on my resume for ATS but clearly that's not working

[inland fox]

ah, that actually isnt as great then. i had assumed it was like rewriting some functionality for like runtime and reducing the code for it

[inland fox]

you can add a concepts list to your technical skills, and just list the areas/focus you want to work in, try to be more specific and targeted for the role you apply to

[faint tree]

That was a part of it too. Basically found redundant functionality, replaced to cut down on runtime

[inland fox]

i mean you can larp that as optimization ig, i meant improving runtime by upgrading, not just deleting

[faint tree]

I forgot to mention, I also have ibm accelerate. People have suggested me to replace that with TA. you think it's better? It's more like a mentorship program than an actual internship

[inland fox]

i mean you can include it somewhere, but its not experience
