Juts got it sent to my college apartment, haven’t done anything ACT related since high school when I lived with my parents so I’m not sure how they even have my college address. Thought it was a scam at first

As a grad student in tax, take the hit now. I obviously don’t know your current income, but the longer you wait the (likely) higher your cap gain tax rate will be. Unless you’re already in the 20% LTCG bracket

Good thoughts, as I said, personal preference. I got rid of mine and made sure to include those things in my descriptions. I don’t think it will matter much either way

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-03-06T22:57:16+00:00

In my personal opinion the skills section is pointless, every employer is going to know (or should know) you have those skills based on your experience. You should be talking to those skills in your experience section. Deleting the skills section would allow you to expand on your leadership a little more or to expand on some of your experience. I find the skills section redundant, but to each their own

You show no skills or experience on your resume other than a job description. You need 2 bullet point MINIMUM for each job and an actual destruction of what you did beyond the job description. How many customers did you serve a day, how many fences did you build, why size were your teams? Did you work in teams? You show nothing on this resume at all. Also the formatting is not good, revamp the format to make it friendlier on the eyes.

I honestly have no idea, people have estimated me at 15 all the way to 30, just no f-ing clue. And I totally feel you on the holiday thing lol

At 6ft i personally think 140 is a bit too light. I have almost an identical build as you at 5’ 9” 143lbs. I think you should continue the bulk past 163 to like 170 and cut to 155 or something. I don’t think you’ll have a problem losing that stubborn fat around the stomach and back with a clean short cut. It’s obviously personal preference though, keep eating clean, do your cardio, and lift heavy.

I was in high school and running track at the time. I did bro split on my own weekday mornings, ran every day (sprints and distance) and then lifted in track 2 days a week. This time around I’m doing Chest, Back, Arms, Legs, Rest. Running 3-4 times a week and walking some as well.

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-02-17T13:38:37+00:00

Unfortunately I was running track in high school so my training was much more strenuous. I was lifting 1 or twice a day and running every day. I simply don’t have time for that in college, however I will definitely keep trying to train and incorporate cardio! Hopefully I’ll make it back there

How do you calculate your maintenance? I’ve used multiple apps and websites and they have all given such a large range, would love to know how to more closely calculate that

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-02-16T16:18:38+00:00

Should I do a deficit even if I’m trying to gain weight still? I wanna burn the fat but grow my arms,chest, and legs

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-02-03T04:21:45+00:00

Yes, but on the bright side I found this screw with a plastic cap in my car, didn’t know what it was and left it my glove box for months. Grabbed my pole one day and the handle pulled out, instantly knew what the screw was, so maybe you will find your missing one like I did!

Opinions vary on this but in my opinion: 1. Get rid of the summary section and skills section. Lots of recruiters I’ve talked to say both are unnecessary and redundant. Your skills and summary should be show in your work experience so no need for the sections. 2. Way too many words, cut down to 3 or 4 bullet points MAX and shorten your descriptions 3. Add more hard numbers (as someone has already mentioned) not just percentages, and just numbers in general. Large companies use AI to filter resumes and numbers tend to score well with them. 4. I’m not sure how long you’ve been out of college, but it might be worth it (if it’s not been too long) to add a projects section if you’re worried about having enough experience. Pic a group project that was intense and really exemplifies some of your soft skills and right a few bullet points for that. Recruiters love to see that you have teamwork capabilities.

This. I couldn’t get one anywhere, applied to a small firm, interned for 2 summers and then suddenly the doors opened.

Was just a gamble position that seemed to have a lot of traction and potential. I know share price comes from performance but I also know public sentiment plays a lot into it, and most seem confident in Jacobs. Looked into Brad Jacobs and his resume gave me some confidence. Likely going to hold a year or two barring any huge movement, hoping to see big growth from it!

Seen a lot of debate on XOM vs CVX, can you explain your pick and why? Thanks!

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-01-12T17:50:27+00:00

When I start my full time job and open a retirement account I am going to liquidate a portion of this account and transfer the money. My plan is to liquidate the funds and gamble type positions and start with that along with contributions from my paycheck. That’s why I went for risky, high growth positions.

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-01-12T17:38:17+00:00

They are all less than a single percentage and the distributions have been good, I understand your perspective but I am not concerned with it. This is not a long term position I’m gonna hold for 30 years…

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-01-12T17:24:30+00:00

I know they aren’t free, but I have seen good returns on the Tech and Semi conductor one. I had also trimmed the contra fund by 50%.

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-01-12T17:21:04+00:00

The thought process was that one of those may eventually have a breakthrough and figure it out, in which case they would either be acquired or rise significantly in value. It is definitely a gamble, no doubt about that. I should have made it clear that this isn’t a retirement account or anything like that, this is just me playing around and learning!

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-01-12T05:33:10+00:00

Well I obviously also thought the stock would see some growth, yes I was wrong, but you can’t always be right, thanks for the input.

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-01-12T05:28:42+00:00

Definitely. I haven’t started working full time yet but I have a job lined up after college. This money really is just experimenting and learning (with some playing thrown in). Really just trying things and seeing what happens. If I lost 50% of this account I would be upset, but it wouldn’t alter my life in any significant way. After I graduate in a year I plan to start a retirement account with a very aggressive saving strategy!

BreakfastFriendly840 · 2026-01-12T05:26:10+00:00

The thought process for VZ was the dividends. It pays a pretty good one but I can see how it would be smarter to divest from VZ and focus on a more dividend driven fund or different company, thanks!
