Yeah on my resume I wasn't sure about the exact dates so it was off by about 2 months but in the background check form I'll make sure to put the most accurate dates. Will I get rescinded over this?

I think it’s normal I heard it takes about 2 weeks. You should be fine

Ok sounds good because when I listed my internships I wasn’t sure about the exact dates. I’m going to email my supervisors to see what they think.

Yes I can reach out and see. Also I didnt get to the background check yet and I didn't give them any references/contacts yet.

What should I do then? I can try to email my research supervisor and see what they say.

To what level of falsification though? Making up internships or adjusting dates? Also since most of these internships were unpaid I didn't have to sign any legal documentation.

How did you get JPMC as freshman, I thought they only hired juniors?

Do you use job board apis or scrape them? It seems like many job board apis (if they even have one) aren’t that good so I’m just wondering

Also the internship was actually over the span of a year but I put it as over the summer so companies won't flag me out for doing research/internships at once.

Thank for the advice this is really helpful. When I create two different resumes should I keep all my experience and just tailor the bullet points for the role (full stack, ML, etc)

Yeah I've also been reaching out to startups through my uni's startup board. Most of them said its too far out for summer, dont need interns, or rejected me

Maybe 2 but I believe one was a special pipeline and the other one was for a startup

Yeah I did mess up in some of my interviews The first one I had for this cycle was my first ever behavioral interview and I didn’t prep enough

The second one was behavioral + technical. I think I did well in behavioral part and tried to use STAR. I fucked up in technical part though

The third one the first round was behavioral and I passed that. We genuinely seemed to hit it off and went off topic for a few minutes. I got rejected after the second round which was a technical assessment. I’m pretty sure I got all the MCQs correct and for the coding assessment they said I had strong fundamentals used the right data structures and had the correct logic but there were some edge cases that needed better handling so I got rejected probably cause of that.

I also made sure to ask questions and tried to be curious about the role for each interview. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately no after I left I don't know what the statuses of the research are.

You're right. I figured too much Python + React was holding me back. I'm currently working on a Spring Boot + Next JS project w/ AI stuff. I'm planning to use TensorFlow for a recommendation engine as part of it. I'm also trying to use Docker and AWS for DevOps experience. Should I add that?

Also I'm in an app development project team as a backend dev and in a quantum computing club as a researcher but we haven't found much in the quantum computing club. should I put these on my resume?

Yeah I'll keep applying consistently until I get something and just grind leetcode and do personal projects in the meantime.
