i've been applying and only gotten a handlful of those automatic OAs, gotten two more hirevues (one of which from disney) but that's about it. please help review my resume and let me know what you think! (applying to both SWE and AI related internships). I intend on networking more for this upcoming cycle, but I want to make sure my resume is solid!

from looking at it the first thing that pops out is that with your bullet points, your resume doesn’t tell me anything about what you specialize in. Remember a resume is a representation of you! So I don’t know if you are full-stack, back end, front end, machine learning, etc. so try and include more tech stacks if possible and not just label them under the experience title. For instance you labeled pandas but none of the bullet points said you did and same for react and next.js
Make sure you
Bold those too

imo, theres a little too much bolding

i’m telling y’all… just don’t bold anything in the bullets. most times you don’t know what you’re doing, trust me. it’s better to be safe than sorry. i got many interviews without doing that random bolding stuff which i know many of the people reading my resume appreciated nowadays
also way too many of your bullet points are two lines long. it’s ok if some are, but most should be one line because you don’t wanna unintentionally “turn off” a recruiter from reading what you have. you wanna make it quick and easy for them. they only spend a couple of seconds on each resume so readability is key
and also that leadership line should not be in your technical skills section. doesn’t make sense to have it in there. add that stuff to your activities line in your education section and feel free to rename it to “Leadership & Activities”. also if you did anything significant/notable in some of them and you need more space to fill in your resume, then consider making a separate resume section underneath either your experience or projects and you can format it kinda like your experience section with the name of the club, your role, the dates, etc.
also i like how in your bullet points you tell me what you did and the why/result/impact, but some of them are missing some technical keywords. like in that second experience, i don’t see typescript, tailwind, node, etc. in your bullets. listing them out in that grey line isn’t sufficient
also just put your current school in your education section. nobody needs to know the school you transferred from
also put your GitHub profile link in that contact info line
also that libraries thing is too long. it shouldn’t be two lines. maybe separate it into “Frameworks & Libraries” on one line and “Tools” or “Developer Tools” on another line if you can’t shorten everything to one line only
the coursework is also way too long. should be 1-2 lines MAX as it’s not a super important part of the resume and most people just use it to fill up empty space in their resume. as you get more experience to put in your resume, the coursework line should eventually disappear tbh. And rename it to “Relevant Coursework” or “Relevant Courses”. also you should rename/reword some of your courses because most of them have filler words that don’t really matter and may make you seem a bit more junior. For example, a better coursework line would start off looking something like “Data Structures, Object-Oriented Design (Java), C++ Programming, Python Computing, Embedded Systems…….”
I’d also recommend choosing a different font, like maybe Calibri? Times New Roman is a bit outdated/old school. But overall not a deal breaker so you can leave it I guess. up to you
