2027 grad looking for interns

[vestal jewel]

number of nodes in a graph is an ass metric

so is number of dimensions to a vector

try to quantify something meaningful or end-to-end about the impact of your work

where was it published, etc.

[floral oasis]

Noted

[floral oasis]

fixed it

[floral oasis]

It was an early stage startup so I don't really have any metrics

[floral oasis]

yup

[floral oasis]

added more context on projects

[floral oasis]

bump

[vestal jewel]

What is NLI

Sounds non-standard

Fourth project start of first bullet sounds crazy

Too many words in the noun phrase / subject

[floral oasis]

Gg

@opal citrus

@maiden badge

@surreal nacelle

[surreal nacelle]

yeah i think u have enough to apply for amazon/google/ibm

dont discount research exp as long as u are able to weave it into the kind of stuff they look for

[floral oasis]

Im not larping about research exp since it's what I honestly did

[surreal nacelle]

idk wtf your RL project is about

even tho i study RL extensively

[floral oasis]

It's a web crawler with RL techniques

I'll try to uh...write in simple way ig lol

[surreal nacelle]

hmm ig i understand a bit of your RL project now that i think hard enough but i think u should somehow rewrite it so it sounds impressive without the person having to know a lot of RL/think about it super hard

[surreal nacelle]

yeah

[surreal nacelle]

doesnt matter if u larp too lol

but anyways.. like in one of my research projects for RL i had to deploy multi node training on TPU pods

so distributed computing and whatnot

[floral oasis]

Teach me your technique to larp master

[opal citrus]

Briefly skimmed, okay I am going to act like a non technical recruiter

• projects don’t show any impact, and also “I’m bored” like Idk what this is. Just tech words, no product
• projects are very diverse. U have ML and then u have a firewall project and then full stack. U show u have no niche
• use xyz for bullet points for work exp

[surreal nacelle]

since then i just did an educational project deploying RL on multi host GPU pods

so i just wrote both in my RL project space

projects seemed fine-ish to me.. they have stuff like caching, SQL whatnot

[floral oasis]

Yea

[surreal nacelle]

whats the "I'm bored"?

but yeah use XYZ format if u can for them ig

[floral oasis]

But I don't have any metrics...

Hmm

[opal citrus]

It means I got bored reading

[surreal nacelle]

i mean this makes sense even if a bit larp-ish

[floral oasis]

Bc it's true

Lol

[surreal nacelle]

also u may wanna bold parts of ur bullet points? idk i do that

[floral oasis]

Bolding words here and there probably gives headache

Idk

[surreal nacelle]

also WatcherX tells me kinda nothing about what u did.. idk if u should add a more descriptive heading or at least maybe bolden parts of the first bullet? idk

[floral oasis]

Good point

So I'll try to add a point about what the project is about

[surreal nacelle]

for the 4th project did u define the MCP for it?

[floral oasis]

I made a filesystem restriction MCP kinda thingy

[surreal nacelle]

i think ur resume is better than mine tbh 🤣

[floral oasis]

So claude doesn't go off road

[surreal nacelle]

but yeah take into consideration what others say too.. idrk what the best resume is

everyone has their own thoughts, some contradictory with others

[floral oasis]

Yeah

[surreal nacelle]

then write MCP.. if u can

[floral oasis]

Btw I'm non US too

[surreal nacelle]

wtf does enabling support for 5+ languages mean?

[floral oasis]

Internationalisation

i18n

[surreal nacelle]

but hey u got in for bachelors should be fine

[surreal nacelle]

bruh

[floral oasis]

Which just makes the whole website in diff language

[surreal nacelle]

i thought u meant programming languages 🤣

[floral oasis]

I migrated whole react website into next.js

[surreal nacelle]

write localisation or internationalisation

[floral oasis]

I wrote support for 5+ languages since

[surreal nacelle]

u couldnt have done localisation in react? 🤣

[floral oasis]

I thought non tech guy won't know wtf I'm talking about lol

[surreal nacelle]

but a tech guy will also not know wtf u are talking about lol

[floral oasis]

That's why I didn't write that part out

[surreal nacelle]

when u say languages to me, i instantly think of programming languages

[floral oasis]

I just did what I was asked for

[surreal nacelle]

and ur first few bullet points really need to be polished

everything else is fine

[floral oasis]

Okay

[surreal nacelle]

a tech person reads it and is like.. "wtf? how did the person add 5 programming langages by migrating to next.js?"

maybe u can find a word that works for both tech/non tech people

translations maybe.. idk

[floral oasis]

Let's see

Thanks @surreal nacelle @opal citrus

[opal citrus]

Wish u the best

[floral oasis]

[surreal nacelle]

and if they think that.. then they may automatically thing the rest of ur resume is also BS

but maybe i am dumb idk

[maiden badge]

Are you part of the going home club

No extracurricular is interesting

Honestly looks good tho

Although you could pad the programming language part

[floral oasis]

I have one ACM but its bs

[maiden badge]

It’s good I think you should apply

[surreal nacelle]

bro dont say u implemented early stopping to reduce training time btw 🤣

sorry but it sounds dumb

but its a very impressive project for sure (for the age at least)

i generated synthetic data by rotating/translating wheat/rice grains on a background and used R-Trees to check for collisions quickly

u should learn yolo or FSDP or agents/LLMs

lot of people in USA hiring for those, easier to find a remote job

[floral oasis]

I'll look into those

Thanks

[floral oasis]

update:

[surreal nacelle]

is weighted linear scoring basically just MLR? 🤣

[surreal nacelle]

micro optimisation, tho resnet also looks good, may help to write CNN cuz jobs are more likely to include keyword "Convolutional Neural Networks" or CNN or CNNs

tho Resnet has its own benefit that a more knowledgable person will think that u arent faking.. tho idk how much that adds since resnet is like a 10 year old model

and u still have "early stopping to reduce training time" which just sounds dumb (no offense)

[floral oasis]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[floral oasis]

If I still don't get interviews I'm gonna lose my mind

[floral oasis]

@surreal nacelle give da review

[surreal nacelle]

bro i applied to 2300 or something

just apply to every new grad faang role

[floral oasis]

Im 2027 grad...

[floral oasis]

Dang

[surreal nacelle]

seems fine i guess

[surreal nacelle]

i would write reinforcement learning (RL) there

no one knows wtf contextual bandits are unless they are very involved and i think u have space? 🤔

[floral oasis]

Got it

[surreal nacelle]

and they will definitely have reinforcement learning in various job descriptions (the more general term)

so even if theres no bot ATS, if a recruiter checks, they will think "ok good this guy knows reinforcement learning" rather than being confused by "RL"

[floral oasis]

Reasonable

[surreal nacelle]

overall fairly decent/good

[floral oasis]

Btw do you think my swe (contract) is written good?

It's ongoing so Idk how to phrase it correctly now

[surreal nacelle]

yeah seems fine

[floral oasis]

I put it up since I'm actively applying for internship

[surreal nacelle]

maybe some metrics if u can add them but otherwise i get the general idea of what u did

tho tbf i dont really understand most of it 💀

[floral oasis]

Well it's mostly Blockchain shit

ether.js

[surreal nacelle]

ABI-aligned is application binary interface?

[surreal nacelle]

ah ya maybe thats why idk

i also dont know what Base is

[floral oasis]

Yes

[surreal nacelle]

ah ok cool

idk what that sentence means but it sounds low level and cool ig

[floral oasis]

Base is Ethereum layer

Low cost and Secure layer

[surreal nacelle]

ok fair

whats ABI-aligned interfaces validated against protocol information?

[floral oasis]

I rubbed my head too when I heard of that shit

Lol

[surreal nacelle]

idk what that means

[floral oasis]

So the documentation already had ABIs so I used their existing params and info for ABIs in my code

[surreal nacelle]

it seems fine overall but yeah a person in blockchain who is not too familiar should understand.. and if its for general SWE role, non-blockchain people maybe should be able to understand (like general SWEs)

[floral oasis]

Basically they had docs for the bots

I had integrate the stuff

[surreal nacelle]

i mean it sounds cool i dont quite know what that means

[floral oasis]

Yeah point

[surreal nacelle]

ig i havent done enough low level coding

[floral oasis]

Maybe I should phrase it for general swe ig

[surreal nacelle]

i made similar issues (i think still am, so improving resume is a continual process)

somewhere here recommended me to essentially dumb down the language a bit

like it still has MLE stuff.. but dumbed down to generics

[floral oasis]

Hmm

Btw does having two roles at the same time bad? In perspective of resume screening

[surreal nacelle]

like instead of transformers and CNNs, it might say Vision AI or something

[floral oasis]

Isn't that too dumb?

[surreal nacelle]

idrk i wouldnt think its bad but i am probably not the best judge on that

[floral oasis]

But mb non tech can understand

Better

[surreal nacelle]

ig but like it gets the point across

CNNs and transformers is hopefully implicit..

[floral oasis]

Get a non tech friend

And tell him what he thinks ig lol

[surreal nacelle]

ehh maybe it doesnt have to be that dumb..

i dont quite know.. its a bit subjective and a balance of dumb and also sprinkling in some stuff that shows u are an expert (or at least had depth) at times..

[floral oasis]

[surreal nacelle]

i mean as i said its pretty good rn

but yeah resumes can be endlessly improved, tailored, etc

[floral oasis]

I kinda wanna see your resume too now lol

[surreal nacelle]

mines shit

lol

[floral oasis]

Must be better than me at least?

[surreal nacelle]

i am giving u the feedback i have heard from others but am unable to follow myself 💀

nah

i think urs probably better

but tbh i doubt it matters too much

[floral oasis]

Did you get any feedback?

[surreal nacelle]

they wont spend too long reading it anyways 💀

[floral oasis]

Yeah 20s max

[surreal nacelle]

yeah but i often find it hard to implement that feedback..

mainly that my stuff is too dense, but then i feel like i wanna describe this project cuz it was cool but no space or i need to include more skills cuz of ATS but then some people say u dont.. idrk 🤷‍♀️

at times it also gets contradictory (different people giving contradictory advice)

but for the most part consistent feedback has been its too dense

[floral oasis]

Some guy at some server said Im doing 6-12 months of work in 1-2 months

[surreal nacelle]

i kinda feel too lazy to share mine

[floral oasis]

For my contract

[surreal nacelle]

cuz i would need to redact stuff..

[floral oasis]

You do you

[floral oasis]

Also said it's exaggerated and fake

I was like bruh

[surreal nacelle]

people also dox u here from redacted resumes..

cuz paper names and stuff or phrasing is highly searchable

and this discord seems to not have any rules

[floral oasis]

Dox as in?

Message and shit?

[surreal nacelle]

basically find ur name, address, linkedin, photos, etc and post them in general

[floral oasis]

I see

[surreal nacelle]

this is the resume i last submitted to google.. added a bit more DSA stuff but idk i feel that looks dumb lol

and probably still too dense and technical

[floral oasis]

Yup it's dense

I feel like u could use some other template

[surreal nacelle]

i like the template

[floral oasis]

Jake ryan default one has less space

[surreal nacelle]

ok ill check it out

i think i did use that

but modified it a bit

i think if i had smaller skills section it could help but idk thats usually a dump i use for ATS..

[floral oasis]

I think you should go
Edu > exp > research > proj > skills

[surreal nacelle]

and lets be honest, even if ATS is not a thing.. most recruiters are no smarter than an ATS

[surreal nacelle]

yeah everyone has different thoughts 🤷‍♀️

i think its fine either way

i have been told to keep it on top, keep it on bottom, by many people

also one person said 2 page is fine (which seems to be the case cuz my first resume to google was 1.25 pages)

tho he recommended make it fully 2 pages.. dont leave out any experiences.. have ample of spacing and it should look nice and polished

[floral oasis]

Don't you have too many points on exp?

[surreal nacelle]

yeah probably

[floral oasis]

How about having best 5?

[surreal nacelle]

yeah maybe.. not too sure which are the best 5 tho

most would say last point is too long and sucks

but it kinda acts as a catch all for collaboration code reviews, agile whatnot

now if its a technical recruiter seeing my resume, it wont matter if i remove it, its implicit, but if its some dumb HR or ATS.. 🤷‍♀️

[floral oasis]

I think a normal human would get scared from text walls

Like someone just messaged you a wall of text; you wouldn't like to read it right?

It's like that

[surreal nacelle]

fair

but hey.. all the mroe reason for u to keep applying

i got an interview from that garbage resume

[floral oasis]

Oh noice

How did that go?

[surreal nacelle]

then again

i will probably get rejection call soon

[surreal nacelle]

passed OA, first round (virtual screen), second round interview 1 bombed, second round interview 2 was a great success

so most likely reject/R3

[floral oasis]

Which company?

[surreal nacelle]

google

[floral oasis]

Oh noice

Good luck
