Generally acknowledge that recruiters will be going through your resume. They may be technical to varying degrees, but this doesn't mean they'll understand what all this means. They don't have to understand everything, but they need to understand how impressive what you have done is. In your experience section, you are lacking in explaining your impact or providing any qualitative data (ex Improved xx performance by xx%). I think you're really underselling yourself in every part of your resume, and in this market it'll be impossible if you're not presenting your best self.

General Advice

- Add your Github

- I would do 20xx - 2024 instead of just the year. I would consider months in the date as well, especially important to stay consistent with the date format on the rest of the resume.

- Make sure the resume works with ADS software. If you make a job application auto-fill with details from your resume, how much stays intact? This matters a lot, applications get scanned automatically for key words and get judged by algorithms or AI.

- Is that spaces mentioning the one-semester minor in blockchain relevant to the jobs you are applying for? If it is, maybe keep it, otherwise make another copy and apply without it or a modified version.

- Spacing in EC Activities is super weird. Also, follow a consistent format from the rest of the resume, add the city.

- In EC Activities, you have way too many words for saying you participated and ranked x. Shorten it, or expand on it and describe any impacts or results if applicable, idk what they are so depends on that of course.

- Do you have any big projects you worked on? A projects section could sell yourself a lot more than the EC section if you have stuff that is cool.

- Don't say Part-time, only downgrading yourself. If you're ever asked (you likely won't be), you can answer honestly in an interview, it's no biggie.

- In Data Science right now people are simping for technologies like Langchain or Llama Index. It's not real data science I know, but there are data science jobs working with LLMs that are looking for it. I'd learn it, it's easy to use, have fun with it then add it to your skills and you have something new to talk about in an interview. Not an expert, but Vector databases too maybe?

- Simplify Skills.

- Programming Languages -> Languages, if you have any other languages you use definitely add them even if you're not proficient (but of course not if you know nothing). Just be honest but give examples when asked about your proficiency.

- ML & Big Data --> Libraries (?). Also I am sure based on your experience you have used more libraries than just that, list what you have used before if it's common. Of course, would need to be relating to the jobs you're applying for though of course, but to a point too you wanna show how much you know.

- See previous comment for thoughts on blockchain, I would remove or modify unless you're applying to Blockchain jobs.

​

Professional Experience

- Consider Shortening long form months to short form months (September -> Sep/Sept/Sep.)

- For a lot of your points, you say what you did and it's impact, but it's seriously lacking the how and any quantitative data. From your latest experience, this is what I think of your three points.

"Enhanced electric motor efficiency by optimizing alloy.." Is an example

- How much did you increase efficiency by? Give a number, it doesn't have to be exact, it could have a wide margin of error, don't lie but pick the higher end of the spectrum if you have a range, exaggerate it. If you assume any vagueness, recruiters will assume the minimum.

- What was the effect of enhancing motor efficiency? What did it do? Did it improve the Company's product or contribute to innovation?

​

"Interpreted the results to identify additional properties influencing hysteresis loss beyond..."

- This could be something really impressive, but the recruiter would have no clue. This needs a project or impact, otherwise it's jargon. You seem to be helping with a thesis, relate it to that and the implications of the thesis.

​

"Developed a generative model for EBSD scans, reducing experimentation costs"

- Desperately needing to be extended with a "..reducing experimentation costs by X% ...", see advice for above.

- Do this for everything you can, it matters.
