Applying for Intern Roles no interviews been applying since September please help me out

[stoic cedar]

weird spacing

ats doesn't parse this well

useless bullet point

lots of wasted space

i'd just get rid of the vibe code tools in skills

too much bolding, only bold metrics

lots of whitepsace in the right side, wasted space imo

hackathon win can be a project imo, stands out

metrics like this idek how u measured, seems made up

esp for a project

imo it's rly jargon dense

more than half of this bullet point is jargon

design, deployment, cloud-native, platform, react, kotlin, mysql

cloud native, microservice, frontend

kinda need to dig through to understand what the project acc is

what u did should be clear, jargon isn't bad but a bullet point shouldn't only be jargon

maybe look into jake's resume template

[limber kernel]

agree w cheetah's points

[marsh isle]

I appreciate you guys

[marsh isle]

I looked into that. Do you know a way to tailor resumes quickly with that template? It seems to be manual

[stoic cedar]

yep it's manual

or u just find a website that does it for u

[marsh isle]

which can you recommend

I searched but didn’t really see a great one

I use rezi rn but you can’t import the jake’s template

Also I work a TA job rn at my college for the data structures and algorithms class do you think I should add that

[stoic cedar]

Yes if it’s not the most recent one

[stoic cedar]

I recommend u write it urself, usually if u do it right it comes out more authentic

Not saying u shouldn’t use ai, but most of the writing and drafting of ideas should be u

[marsh isle]

Alright will do

I just feel like tailoring every single one manually to fit a job description exactly takes time

[stoic cedar]

u don't

i mean some ppl do and a lot of it is larp

but i recommend making one for swe, ds, and ml for whichever of those ur targetting

and if ur doing low latency and web dev work ig two resumes for that

imo u don't need 2 rn

u have like 2 bullets in one here

imo just get rid of unit tests and the rest after that

deployed containerized workloads via Docker on AWS EC2 and monitored with X to ___, maintaining 99% uptime

if u change to jakes a lot of that whitespace will be cut out imo

[marsh isle]

Alright I appreciate it!

What do you think about referrals do you think they make a difference

[stoic cedar]

unless u have a crazy network or can network rly well the roi for getting referrals isn't worth it

i saw ur in colorstack so maybe through that u can get some tho

[marsh isle]

Hey @stoic cedar thanks for the advice. I’m redoing my resume in the Jake’s resume template form. There are some parts that have white space but the template doesn’t seem to be 100% customizable

[stoic cedar]

if yk basic latex u can customize it pretty easily

or just as chatgpt to do it
