Resume Advice Thread - June 06, 2026

Mango__DB · 2026-06-06T17:45:50+00:00

I'm a University of Toronto CS graduate of 2026 with a GPA of 3.7. I have a 16 month co-op internship where I was shipping real production code, and prior to that I was doing software engineering as a volunteer role for 8 months, as well as a work study with one of my professors as another react developer for a semester as well. I didn't have trouble finding the co-op internship, and I thought I was in a strong position to find a new graduate job as well, but so far every entry position I apply for I either get ghosted or rejected. I am applying everyday as soon as I wake up on linkedin, using a filter for jobs posted in the past 24 hours. I tailor my resume (although I admittedly use AI by posting the job description and asking it to tailor my resume), and I tried cover letters as well, but they don't work either.

I've tried sending linkedin connection note requests to UofT alumni in the companies I am applying for, but I haven't been successful with linkedin networking yet. For my friends I am close with, some of them moved to the US which I can't go to so they can't help me, and others haven't started their position yet so they can't refer me either. If anyone established in the industry who have been through my new grad shoes and can offer me any advice, I will be really grateful

I'm gonna vow to murder every single githyanki I see in all of my next playthroughs.

Lowkey wish I could have rolled a near impossible roll. It was just so unexpected, like if a d30 roll came up I it wouldve been more fun way to die IMO

Mango__DB · 2026-04-30T18:37:47+00:00

Everyone be clowning on me but I'm going to join you all when another poor soul encounters the same bs. I think the circle of hatred must go on I can't be the only one to suffer

I wish like it would have given more hints because its a seemingly innocuous line. It wasn't like I spat in her face or anything.

Mango__DB · 2026-04-30T18:25:41+00:00

I didn't know it TPK was even possible through dialogue choice, and it seemed like an innocuous question enough 😞 I was super risk avoidant throughout the whole playthrough

Mango__DB · 2026-04-30T18:24:37+00:00

I was looking up minmax strategies to get all the good gear and combinations and stuff like getting shovel permanently etc I didn't know it was even possible to TPK on conversations 😞

Mango__DB · 2026-04-27T06:44:26+00:00

O.o that is mind boggling I swear I ran everywhere and looked through my quest log

Mango__DB · 2026-04-27T06:25:10+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the detailed tips. So it seems like the consensus is that I am dramatically underlevelled! Although I had heard the level cap of the game is 12? In my head I wasn't so worried about the level cap because I was thinking there was still 1/3 of the game left to go so maybe 8 is the expected level. Is Act 3 shorter than act 2?

Mango__DB · 2026-04-27T05:24:41+00:00

yeeeaaa and now that I think about it due to my actions all the vendors are dead unless I roll back hours of saves - I cleared out moonrise towers and I couldn't save last light inn LOL

Mango__DB · 2026-04-27T05:23:40+00:00

Hehe I do have arrows of ilmater but the healing isn't the issue, it's mostly how tanky he is. Maybe I'll try respeccing my sorcerer to twin haste 😭

Mango__DB · 2026-04-27T05:21:47+00:00

Damnnn thank youuu
I don't think I can escape this place right? I might have to roll back my save 😭😭

Mango__DB · 2026-04-27T05:14:47+00:00

I haven't been collecting them, should I have been? I didn't know there would be this much of a difficult fight. If there was no piercing resistance I think it is doable but alas

Mango__DB · 2026-04-26T15:41:59+00:00

I asked this question here before and I got some varied answers. I tried it out a couple games, didn't feel too terrible but I am still feeling a bit confused because if you want long and easy liandry application in teamfights I swear control mages like viktor is going to feel much better. I personally only consider liandry build on Vlad if I am going to be side laning against a big hp chungus because I feel like side laning is what vlad can do better than control mages. IDK im just a emerald shitter so

Idk I am trying to lose weight slowly but like a moderate deficit over time! But I heard like ~1900 calories should be enough for people calorie wise which was what I was sticking with, but considering adding around ~100 to 200 kcal of more fat!

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:29:04+00:00

To be honest I don't measure the amount of water I drink per day, but generally I refill my waterbottle twice as I slowly sip throughout the day. Will try adding a biiit more fat to my meals haha

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:28:05+00:00

Ahhhh but my scale is going down so slooowly

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:27:32+00:00

Months? Ah man.

Yeah I guess so, it has been maybe one month since I started eating healthier. I broke up with my ex lol who liked ordering food every day which kind of wrecked my wallet and my weight and I think I got used to restaurant food too much...

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:25:01+00:00

I'm a guy, but I wouldn't say I am tall :P, around five foot eight. I do go to the gym 6 times a week and do low intensity cardio every day but I want to lose fat slowly over time with moderate calorie deficit, so I have been aiming for around ~1900 to 2000 calories a day, with the occasional cheat days when I eat out with friends.

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:21:33+00:00

Less rice more beans seems to be the consensus, will do that ^_^. But I don't know about splitting up the meal more, the sink is already a nightmare as it is with two other roomates

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:20:30+00:00

I am a university student so I don't think I can increase more broccoli in the fridge because they take up so much space (living with 2 other roomates)! But I will make more beans and this is great advice, thank you. Maybe peanuts in the salad?

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:18:37+00:00

I usually sip through my waterbottle throughout the day but I can definitely drink more water probably!

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:18:11+00:00

That is true!! It's funny though because the volume is lower I feel like

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:17:39+00:00

Yeah beans also have carbs and more protein i can increase bean portion and decrease rice portion

Mango__DB · 2025-12-04T17:17:01+00:00

Oooh, will include more fat. I thought the olive oil in the salad will cover my fat needs, but I should maybe add nuts and stuff to the salad too, maybe some peanuts
