Is it Berkeley? And this resume format is messy

[hollow widget]

not berkeley.

How is it messey?

[hollow widget]

I used a template and thought it looked clean

[willow berry]

Idk maybe I just see the same ones over and over is all mb

But you are trying to get into SWE and have a web dev role from almost 3 years old man

[untold hedge]

template is fine but get rid of the summary at the top

also yea it doesn't reflect too well that your last/only exp is from almost 3 years ago

i'd try to get some other exp on there even if it's like a ta/research/school position

also streamline ur bullets, there should never be just a couple words spilling over on to the next line

[hollow widget]

alright thanks

[hollow widget]

I see yeah I will try to get some other experience thanks

[hollow widget]

Wait so should i make it one line or maybe add a little bit to points that are just over one line.
Like can i do either depending on the situation

[untold hedge]

yes either is fine but if it's just over by a word or two i think reducing to 1 line is better

[hollow widget]

also for the exp that i got 3 years ago would u suggest to remove that since its too long ago or keep it until i get another exp?

[untold hedge]

no you can keep it for now

[digital snow]

that ballon project is interesting

did u find the aws practitioner hard

?

that was the most i ever studied since highschool bruh

[fresh coral]

i heard @vapid minnow likes to ragebait

[hollow widget]

i think its the easiest of three tests u can take

but that doesn't answer your question

for me it was easy

it was vocab memorization so i took like 6-7 practice tests memorized vocab and question type

i think u need a 700/1000 to pass

i got a 750/1000 so i did pass but not by a lot

i stuied for a week max i think

[hollow widget]

alright thanks

[hollow widget]

u go stright into a web dev job from hihg school? or u in college?

[digital snow]

in un i

going into second yr

[digital snow]

took me a month i bought a whole course, yh its just memorizing basically

[digital snow]

theres heaps other certs thats the easiest

it gets much much harder

but its all kinda just memorizing basically

[hollow widget]

my local library has coursera or smth for free so i did also use a paid course

[hollow widget]

yeah the practioner tests are but i heard the next level which would be AWS Certified Machine Learning Associate was way harder

[hollow widget]

ai practioner can not be the most you ever studied

[digital snow]

i mean, pre chatgpt era i was in middle school and nothing was hard

then highschool and uni i had chatgpt so everything was kinda easy ngl

[digital snow]

theres hella other courses depending on what u wanna study, i wanna do swe cloud so imma take solutions artitecht or sum next i forgot the name

[digital snow]

[hollow widget]

Idk but some finals I def studied harder than for the ai practitioner

[digital snow]
