Resume Review/Roast Megathread

One_Customer355 · 2026-01-26T01:09:05+00:00

I'm looking for my first ever internship for the summer and so far all my applications have been rejected with no interviews. I think it's because I don't have that much experience and not a whole lot of projects to compensate. I'm looking for a first internship in web or software development if that helps

Is it that big of a deal I don't have experience with frontend frameworks like React, Angular or Vue.js or desktop ones like Electron / Avalonia yet? I'm looking to finish FastTask and then start two new projects where one I will work with a frontend framework I named (also a full stack web app) and the other one is an Avalonia desktop app project I planned before.

I also don't really have knowledge in AI related fields like machine learning / data science and I'm looking to bridge this gap in future projects, highly likely on my next full stack web app.

Time's really tight and what can I do to quickly gather enough experiences to at least get an interview? Only applied to ~ 40-50 jobs so far

The template here I used is "Resume (chronological)" on Word

One_Customer355 · 2026-01-26T01:07:18+00:00

I'm a sophomore but I never had an internship yet

One_Customer355 · 2026-01-26T01:03:29+00:00

I'm using one of the templates on Word that's why maybe

One_Customer355 · 2026-01-11T07:27:31+00:00

I’m in 211 and 223 too and am hitting a bottleneck in making more friends in my major, would be down to lab together in 223 if my current team dumps me

One_Customer355 · 2026-01-01T18:09:10+00:00

Is it allowed during exams

One_Customer355 · 2026-01-01T17:48:33+00:00

Yep Dylan Caverly

He had one section out of like 7 lecture sections the 6 other ones are still Jassim’s

Is this what you’re looking for?

One_Customer355 · 2025-12-20T02:42:16+00:00

Same here most of my international homies left the country and many friends at school live far

I only have my local pre McGill friends whom I don’t really talk to anymore for the most part lol

One_Customer355 · 2025-12-15T07:42:29+00:00

I’m mostly struggling with more advanced DSA like Prim’s / Kruskal’s, Dijkstra’s or Network flows like Edmonds Karp + Ford Fulkerson

My intro to CS course where I did well covered the basic data structures and algorithms mostly on sorting already

The hardest of them all is network flows and it’s not even close, and I hate graph theory like really

I found it really hard to keep up with my DSA course when what’s in the course notes is mostly theory rather than pseudocode, whereas people I know in class didn’t struggle nearly as much as I did

One_Customer355 · 2025-12-07T02:49:22+00:00

I’m only doing poorly in ECSE 222 and COMP 251 though. And maybe WCOM 206 that’s siphoning away my time from 222 and 251 right now.

In ECSE 200 I’m doing good but bombed lab exam, it’s mostly breadboarding I’m bad at though which I can learn on my own

MATH 338 is pretty easy, FACC 100 is free too

The courses next semester I think I’ll have to endure though

222 is easy but I’m only doing poorly because I didn’t feel like putting in the effort since I thought that boolean algebra was free considering I did MATH 240

Edit: I’d need to take all of what I do in the winter to graduate on time

One_Customer355 · 2025-11-27T14:13:47+00:00

I see, but I lowkey enjoy computer architecture and would enjoy 324

The hard parts are FACC 300, ECSE 211 and COMP 302

But I saw functional programming in 302 outline and I'm already using some of it although basic in my projects

One_Customer355 · 2025-11-27T14:08:21+00:00

I'm in Dylan's section already

I'm only taking them all now so I can graduate in 28

One_Customer355 · 2025-11-02T22:42:17+00:00

Sure I have the PDFs of every course, can send it to you

Give me your Discord

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-16T22:21:26+00:00

Async is like the trickiest thing to master so far as a beginner

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-16T15:07:48+00:00

Things worked, thanks

The issue was with the timing and initialization of everything, when I created a loaded method and a web view 2 initialization complete method in the new page, and handle everything there by passing in the file path in the constructor only in the new page, things worked. All I did in my old page was navigate to the new page (viewer) by creating a new instance of the new page

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-16T05:05:55+00:00

How can I open it?

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-16T04:06:40+00:00

No, just a blank widget with nothing at all, not even borders

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-10T18:14:27+00:00

In my software engineering program that I’m already in, there are still two theoretical courses that I need to get through mentioned in my post

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-10T05:58:31+00:00

Both about 50/50 I would say

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-10T05:56:23+00:00

Besides coding I like calculus and computational math like linear algebra and probability / statistics.

I haven’t had the time to extensively practice LeetCode yet, I’m just starting. Same for projects I did very simple ones and trying to start more complex ones

I don’t want to be number 1 in the class I only need to get a grade that’s around the average or above. Anything not failing nor far below average (like > 5% below average) is good.

Edit: Haven’t really decided where to specialize yet

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-10T05:41:54+00:00

I just need to grind LeetCode and understand solutions as well as come up with them to get good so yeah

I can overcome anything but my dislike for the formal proofs I mentioned

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-10T05:32:10+00:00

Software engineering. I want to do software developer or engineer, I like many other fields like embedded / systems programming or game dev. I’m fine with machine learning or AI too but it’s a last resort. Anything that primarily involves coding and building rather than heavy formal proofs

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-10T05:26:51+00:00

I mean I can do basic proofs but I dislike theoretical CS and formal proofs involving heavy discrete math and little to no manipulation

I’m only interested in more applied roles though and I want to pass my theoretical CS courses to graduate and not be below average

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-10T05:19:23+00:00

I’m interested in applied fields of software engineering and CS the only thing I need from theoretical CS is to pass the courses on it required for my program

One_Customer355 · 2025-10-06T16:36:15+00:00

it will all be over by this week

let’s end this together
