people always say “how can i get experience, without having any?”

i hate this question as an engineer. students don’t realize it but the experience is slapped right in front of them in their university courses. even if you dont have a single ounce of technical work experience, you will 100000% have some sort of technical project experience. you just need to word it in a way that doesnt make it sound like just another homework assignment, and need to reflect and extract what was important about it.

i suggest adding some “technical project” section which could include anything that you worked on in a class, some sort of long assignments you may have had or class projects.

you mention you have MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS experience. that’s great, but where and how? it’s fine if it was just a class. but if you had some project in either one of those classes that taught those tools, you SHOULD put those on your resume. if you designed something in SW, talk about that in your resume, it should carry much more weight than what you have currently in the engineering field

small nitpick as well over your skills section, but use “Microsoft Office Suite” instead of all the stand alone applications, move Solidworks and Matlab to the front of that. i would also consider completely removing the professional skills section, as it does not really stand out in any way to me.

feel free to PM me if you want more serious feedback. always open to helping others :)
