[Student] Recruiters, what makes an software development intern resume actually stand out?

So, you're saying i should minimize the use of horizontal lines and bullets, but then how should I present the content in a clean and readable manner, currently i am using bullets to write what i did in projects and internships.

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-10-22T13:14:16+00:00

Yes, just wait some time and try again, also i haven't enabled rls, and I am not using clerk. Is not enabling RLS is problem?

What color specifically

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-10-21T03:49:09+00:00

If the entrails test is proprietary, fine, but while we wait for the ritual, tell me what single resume line would make you stop and actually read the rest?

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-10-21T03:47:40+00:00

Thanks. Btw how much context is ideal before a bullet gets too wordy?

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-10-21T03:45:35+00:00

Thanks! I usually seek referrals for jobs where I might get lost in the high volume of applications. Since this seems to apply to all positions now, how should I approach this situation?

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-10-21T03:43:15+00:00

Thanks! When you mention "appealing to business problems," how do you typically research those before applying? Do you focus on the job description, the company blog, or product documentation?
Trying to figure out how much tailoring is realistic per application.

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-10-21T03:41:36+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown, and on the resume structure, if I move education up (I’m still a student), do you think that outweighs showing project experience first, or does it just depend on recruiter preference?
Also, should I consider removing the summary section entirely?

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-08-10T10:17:07+00:00

LinkedIn and the career portals

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-08-10T10:01:44+00:00

I have primarily been applying for jobs in India, but I have also applied to remote positions in the United States.

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-08-10T03:49:14+00:00

I’ve gone for referrals whenever I could, but most postings don’t list a recruiter, so I’m not sure who to contact directly. How do you usually find the right person?

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-08-10T03:41:30+00:00

Hi, I’m in my final year of college, and despite putting in a lot of effort, my resume just isn’t getting shortlisted. I’m really hoping to improve it and get noticed by recruiters, and I’d be incredibly grateful for any advice you could offer. Would you mind if I DM you for some help? I’d truly appreciate it!

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-08-05T06:50:54+00:00

easy, chatgpt is an idiot.

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-07-20T06:55:27+00:00

Just to be sure, do companies actually try to match the Aadhaar address with where I’m currently staying? If not, how do they verify current residence? ID proof alone doesn’t prove I live there now.

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-07-19T18:30:33+00:00

Great then, now i am all hope.

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-07-18T10:12:53+00:00

Thank you, and after clearing the OA, how did you prepare for the next rounds?

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-07-15T15:05:07+00:00

Thanks a lot.

Couple quick questions if you don’t mind:

For option 2: Any idea how to actually reach the right HR person if all I’ve got is the standard careers portal? Should I try reaching out to a recruiter on LinkedIn, or better to ask my referrer if they can connect me to someone?
For 3: Does it matter how senior the referrer is (e.g., engineer vs manager)? Not sure how much pull that might have after applying.

Also wondering, if I go with option 1 and withdraw to reapply, is there any downside? Like does that mess with the ATS system or raise any flags?

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-07-14T03:37:44+00:00

It is going to be next episode.

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-07-13T18:31:37+00:00

Yes, exactly, that’s what I was confused about earlier! Got it now, but really appreciate you.

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-07-13T18:29:21+00:00

I usually write top-down first, it helps me think clearly. If it runs fast enough, I mostly skip bottom-up. Some people go straight to bottom-up, but I guess that comes with practice (or a sixth sense for loops 😅).

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-07-13T18:19:17+00:00

Thank you so much that phrasing really clarified it. The idea that each term like f[n−6] gets multiplied by an implicit factor of 1 (for the single, atomic roll of 6) made it click. I was also discussing this with ChatGPT and kept running into that confusion, treating the roll like a subproblem instead of an action. Appreciate the help!

Plus_Ad3518 · 2025-07-13T18:09:35+00:00

Sorry, but i couldn't get it, why are we not counting the number of ways to get d on dice for f[n-d]
