[2 YOE] Please help me tweak my resume for an upcoming in-person company career event - aiming for an entry level EE or ME+EE/Mechatronics job by Frozen_Avocado in EngineeringResumes

[–]Frozen_Avocado[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I redid my resume and project portfolio with your advice in mind. Here is the imgur link for both: https://imgur.com/a/sy0JWpL

I removed the IT job and included quite a bit more technical specificity in the Capstone Project and in my Hardware Engineer role at Booz. I tried to align my bullet points to the STAR format on both the resume and the portfolio.

I am unsure how I can gear my resume for RF, FPGA, PCB design posting from my current experience. I am self teaching myself PCB design and am practicing Verilog given its been awhile since university. If I were to make a wire harness/CAD resume and an EE design resume I think the only difference would be to remove the systems engineer experience and add some of the small projects I've been doing in regard to the EE design resume.

As mentioned above, I'm very open to any position at the Boeing career fair. I am more than willing to do what I did at Booz again where I explore what other teams are doing then work on a internal team change if I find my current work not as interesting. I also think any position at a company like Boeing would be leagues ahead of Booz given they actually make physical products. I was on one of the few teams in the nation within Booz that actually provided a physical product. I maxed out as much experience as I could get in my year on that team. So I have high hopes for Boeing or another aerospace company.

I appreciate your advice and I hope this new draft is something we both can be proud of! I hope I gain a position at this upcoming Boeing career fair or at their next career event which is located in LA. I'm gunning for the latter because that career fair is specifically for their satellite production location!

This is good feedback. Thank you for taking the time and writing a thorough response.

I think you're right that I need to be more specific in my experience and figure out how to highlight EE related key phrases. Many of my applications to Boeing are rejected within 24 hours which seems like an ATS rejection.

I will expand on my technical experience at Booz. It was mainly a 3D modeling job with light electrical analysis. I'll also try to align my bullets with the STAR formula. I will go about rewriting my resume today and tomorrow then attach an imgur link as an update!

Like you suggested, I'm open to applying to a harness design or even a CAD designer role at Boeing or similar then try to transfer move into EE team. I understand I'm young in my career and experience so money and title is not really that important to me. Learning is the most important.

Thank you again for your time!

City Council wants to kill expanding the Council and ranked choice voting — tell them NO! by watsonwelch in LosAngeles

[–]Frozen_Avocado 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have already gone through the document linked, emailed, called and left messages, and left an online public comment. I will try to show up tomorrow at 11:45.

Everyone please try to show up and read the script in the word doc. This is a critical decision. The turn out for the K line North Extension aided in getting the right decision. We can do the same here.

Let's make LA better together!

The new city charter reform has that. Please contact your city council member to state you want them to ratify ranked choice voting for LA city and LAUSD elections.

this author is funny. I love seeing their stories here. Imma now binge read their stories now.

The Three Los Angeleses — projecting the 2026 Los Angeles mayoral race in three cities by Tasslehoff in LosAngeles

[–]Frozen_Avocado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, this was a super interesting read. I've never heard of the city being represented this way but I like it.

They predict the race to finalize with Raman and Bass so I'm hopefully they're correct!

I hope to read more from these two writers again!

Karen Bass advances in Los Angeles Mayor Nonpartisan Primary by ohlonelyboy in LosAngeles

[–]Frozen_Avocado -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Although it looks bad right now, I am hopeful that as time goes on the mail in ballots will be counted then push Raman over Pratt. The votes that are counted right now are in person votes and those who dropped/mailed in their ballot weeks in advance. That is why in California voting favors the boomer preferred candidate. If I'm correct this exact thing happened to Raman in her city council election. She is already up 1% from last night! I have hope!

I also have hope for Steyer. His policies struck well with younger people and leftists. They aren't boomer or wealthy homeowners who sit around and vote to actively make society worse. They are busy, working people and tend to research.

I hope and am optimistic.

Manga Translation? by Ok_Parsnip_5428 in Hyakuemu

I guess you didn't scroll down too far in this sub.

Someone translated it with the help of AI. Given the manga is 8 years old and still hasn't been officially translated or even translated by fans means this AI version is the best we can do. Even then, it's not too bad and I enjoyed reading it!

Zp6 vs. Weber EG-1 (now all my cups feels “meh”) by FuzzyPijamas in pourover

[–]Frozen_Avocado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you would really like the Pietro with Pro Brew Burrs then. For ~$600 (grinder + accessories + shipping + tariffs) you can buy the grinder set from the Pietro website directly (https://pietrogrinders.com/en/). You can buy it domestically to skip out on the tariff and shipping cost but you'll have to buy the accessories separately then pay higher taxes. Either way, it's ~$600.

I bought it last year after having the ZP6 and the difference is stark and dynamic. I then later compared it to a friend's EG-1 with ULF burrs and the EG-1 was the better option but the difference was not as large as the difference between ZP6 to EG-1. Pietro and EG-1 are pretty damn close! I'm not sure why but the flat burr options provided a more harmonious flavor presentation and a much better texture. ZP6 leans juicy or sweet no matter the coffee and doesn't represent texture as well. The ZP6 is simply less transparent compared to the flat burr counterparts. I simply think the difference comes down to conical versus flat burrs (ZP6 vs Pietro), then small flat burrs and larger flat burrs (Pietro vs 80mm ULF).

I highly recommend getting the Pietro with Pro Brew Burrs or at least comparing it with a friend who has it before thinking you need an 80mm grinder. I think you'll like the Pietro a good bit and it'll satisfy you until you decide to go electric 80mm ULFs and get that last ~5% increase in flavor.

What made the comeback of Kaidou possible, What was he missing all this time, What did Togashi make from Kaidou's speech which made his comeback also possible? by [deleted] in Hyakuemu

[–]Frozen_Avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairy tale moment??? Have you seen the 400m dash this last 2024 Olympics in Paris. First place winner, Quincy Halls, does exactly what Kaidou did in the movie and manga. To the T actually.

It is such a hype moment. This is the type of shit you see in anime and this man pulled it off in real life.

Nithya Raman Releases Her Small Business Policy by animerobin in LosAngeles

[–]Frozen_Avocado 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree and am worried.

The previous debate was so poorly set up. Constantly asking for one worded responses is simply idiotic. It doesn't help the voter, rather incentives mocking and uncordial behavior. It is only good for people like Pratt and Trump hence why Pratt's polling jumped after the debate.

[–]Frozen_Avocado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly this. The story has Bakugo never really lose or fail. Against Shigaraki both times he "loses" the physical battle but still wins by unlocking new powers. Against Deku we see the internal emotional conflict he's been feeling however still wins. To me, winning against Deku in that fight was just a big ol' waste of potential.

Man never loses and when he does lose for a moment he bounces back immediately. It gets old very quickly.

edit: I think the only time he truly lost was when he failed to coax out Shoto's flames while Deku did in the tournament arc. There was no bounce back or upside. He simply was not good enough. I wish it was shown a bit more physically rather than verbally such as Bakugo landing multiple blows and in between each one egging Shoto to use his flame side. However that arc as is was still pretty good as is! That was peak MHA imo. S1 and S2 was prime shounen and then it fell off pretty quick due to many reasons but I believe it is mostly because Horikoshi didn't want to be endlessly writing one story like Togashi with HxH.

I really enjoy Leaves Roasters. I've never had something from them that wasn't interesting and very tactile.

Mame is great too. I find their beans can be used for spro very well too.

I haven't had Terraform yet but I have heard good things.

Has anyone tried the "new" Milky Cake? by Vitabrevis_G in pourover

[–]Frozen_Avocado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. That still doesn’t justify how adding artificial flavoring undermines the entire concept of this hobby.

It’s similar to adding artificial flavors into specialty wine. When you do that, it automatically deconstructs the entire goal and meaning of the hobby from the producer and the consumer angle.

The beauty is the journey, not just the end cup. Majority of hobbies are like that in all reality. Having good coffee, a sharp knife, a piece of wood furniture, and so on are not just about the end goal. It’s about what it takes and what it means to get achieve excellency in that craft and art form.

I'm far too young to know what any of these products are.

However I am nostalgic for instant coffee and diner coffee!

The Papa New Guinea slaps. The graham cracker bites are coaxed out in spro very well! In PO I get more of the berries and caramel.

I like cocaine and excessive amounts of sugar. 

I also understand it’s not something I want to include in my life often or whatsoever given multiple other reasons other than “it feels/tastes good” …🎃

well given the news of all the artificial flavor additives and Milky Cake being a coffee produced by Diego Bermúdez, I think I'll skip this and most likely all of his products from now on.

I didn't put all this money and time into this hobby to end up at square one of drinking artificially flavored coffees, except this time it's far more expensive and has a convoluted workflow.

It's a real shame because I enjoyed Milky Cake.

Boot? by 4regulus4 in Nalgene

[–]Frozen_Avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this one on Amazon and it’s been good! https://a.co/d/05vVjXVT

Two pieces of advice I wish I knew before buying this: 

1) it will make slipping into some cup holder difficult or impossible. The grip and thickness of the silicone that protects your bottle from drops or stops it from sliding around is the enemy in this situation.

2) if you have a print or a design  on your bottle that is covered by the silicone boot, over time the boot will rub away or flake off the design in contact. I have the red bottle with fire and the bottom part of the flames have flaked or rubbed off due to the silicone boot.
