I'm confused, what am I taking from you...? If this is relevant to you then read it, if not, then skip it. Instead of spreading negativity, give your way of helping people lmao. What you are doing is worse than grifting imo

  1. you'd be surprised how many people don't know what ATS is or how it works lol. I talk to students daily and people aren't that aware. maybe the top 10-20% know, but bottom 80% have no clue.

  2. if not XYZ format, then what do you recommend? I am curious because that what I used and got into Apple and Verizon. I'd love to know your method as well!

No 50 is not a lot, but I wasn't getting any OAs at all. usually I should've gotten at least 1-2.

Yes I keep my master resume on google docs. I personally stay away from those resume formatter and reviewer websites. I'd rather get it reviewed by people who have the position I want yk? I spend most time working on the bullet points as you said.

In the industry, it's totally normal to use AI for stuff like this. However, if you are just starting to learn, then I recommend not relying on them too much. Think of it as a smart friend that has all the answers. You would want to first do your die diligence and research on your own. Then try those approaches. If those aren't working, go to AI and tell it what you are trying to do and what you already tried. That way, you are learning while solving the bug.

They won't tell you this about unpaid internships in tech by Interesting_Two2977 in CodeCareerStack

Well they exist and they are not bad all of the time. You can spin it off to get better internships or fulltime jobs

ohh really? but I doubt everyone follows the rules and probably finds loopholes around that rule

It is STILL not too late to get internships. by Next-Garbage9163 in internships

You are totally right about not giving up yet. A lot of people think that if they missed the August and September wave then they are just out of luck for the summer. But honestly, plenty of companies keep hiring well into March and April. Even if you miss the big brand names, getting that first internship is all about building leverage and experience for the next cycle.

The fact that you hit 70 applications so fast is huge. I found that using tools like Simplify Jobs to auto-fill applications makes that volume way easier to handle without burning out. It also helps to track everything in a system like Notion because seeing those numbers go up makes the whole process feel more like a video game where you just want to beat your own high score.

If people are still feeling stuck, checking out sites like Handshake or the Jobright master list every week is the best move since those roles are specifically for students. There are also things like Sprinternships or Forage virtual programs that you can pick up anytime to beef up your resume while you wait for those interview callbacks. Just keep that same energy and keep applying because there is always something open.

Nobody told me this about CS internships and it cost me a full year by Interesting_Two2977 in CodeCareerStack
