CS First Year wanting to get into Software Engineering currently applying for spring weeks

[narrow finch]

get hs and college board off of the resume asap, replace independent software project with Software Development Platform or whatever so it doesn't sound projecty. you need more metrics about the quality of that system. I would shoot do add 1-2 more projects, well motivated with good metrics, cloud deployment, etc.

and change your grad date to 2028 while you're at it

Also it for sure has to be 1 page

[fresh bramble]

why may i ask? 2029 seems right

[narrow finch]

Absolutely

Probably around 2x easier to find jobs if you say you're a 2nd year than a 1st yr

Im applying to spring weeks right now which are mostly for first years. Hence why i thought it may be suitable to include my grades and test scores.
