yea 😭

#

it may be a matter of marketing or type of jobs aligned cause I primarily want sensor based system jobs which is typically defense but I am mass applying still to everything

yeah idk, i'd change role titles to be like swe intern
"qualifications" -> "skills" and put on bottom

Is this more ideal?

try to shorten bullet points to 1 line, max 1.5
move relevant coursework right under "B.S in Computer Science"
remove dates from projects, since you're a soph, you have time to build interesting and impressive projects, a recruiter would simply read the title and be unimpressed

#

Accenture: change bullet points to have more impact or just lie abt some shit idk
"Used git based version control"
"Gained hands on experience with CI/CD..."
doesn't say much about what you actually did^

#

im getting barely any processes so this is just sheep leading the blind
