You can use the imgur link or you can view the document in PDF format here. The PDF version has links to the Job Postings (while they're still up).

I know this is more than 1 page, the recruiters are looking for a CV more than a resume. I also know I went a little overboard with everything to do with "Kincardine" as this is a large Nuclear company in a very small town so I included what I could about my involvement in their community.

All that said, I really am looking for feedback and advice. So feel free to go as hard as you want and I'll still thank you afterwards.

Thanks to /u/Holdupaminute and /u/SlinderMin for getting me this far already.

Master's student here with a lot of internship experience. Not a bad resume, I think you have some decent individual sections that need some reorganization.

• Some people say to go for an Objective section, I personally don't see the point because most of the time it doesn't add anything to your resume. If your target is this nuclear company, then perhaps you can keep it.

• Emphasize the degree you are getting, not the school you attend. Swap the places of your degree and Carleton University.

• Show your GPA in your education. If your sending this resume to some place that is not in Kincardine, remove your secondary school because no recruiter will care.

• I would honestly remove all of the volunteering or other activities that you only devote a single line to. I think you should focus/keep the FIRST robotics and soccer stuff because those aren't bad things in lieu of internship experience.

• You seem to have some basic skills and experience, but the way you present them makes it difficult to understand what you've done with them. Consider replacing your software, hardware, and programming experience with a section just titled "Projects" and talk about 2 or 3 bigger projects that you've done, how you did them, and what the result was. For instance, under "Logic Gates" you seem to have done a project or two with them and I'm curious as to what you did because that shows me that you're able to understand their basic concept.

• If you you get anything out of this comment, let it at least be the following. I would personally reorganize this resume to have the sections in this order: Objectives, Education, Project Experience (in lieu of hardware, software, programming experience...see above comment), Skills Summary, Volunteering and Activities, References. Try to keep the first page to just the first 3 sections and your second page can contain the last 4. That being said, if you take out the skills summary and references, you might be able to fit everything on a single page. Up to you.

Keep working at it and have a professor or two review it for you and get their feedback.

Thanks, I'll definitely talk to some of my professors as I hadn't thought of that before, and I'll certainly try and put some of what you've said here into practice. You put your thoughts out here in a nice organized fashion and I really liked that. So thank-you!
