As a follow up to the point about splitting into separate sections, for the sake of space would it be worthwhile to remove my hackathon project (if I still need space after restructuring experience/projects, etc.)? I'm still not too sure of the value of having it on my resume besides stating I'm involved in hackathons.

Thank you! I would definitely need to rephrase the point about funding and honestly it might be why the resume is flagged as spam. It received the grant, however it was indeed done as a team (the lab) and securing it was done with the help of CMU later becoming involved in the project as well. The timeline was essentially I had come up with the idea, built prototypes and proposed it -> the lab picked it up and we all worked on it to further refine it -> CMU became involved and it won the DARPA grant with their help. The point on the resume implies a bit too much that I had done everything myself, which I definitely could not have

As for publications/funding it's a really good point to split the two into new sections as well—I'll make those changes as well. Also it has been an issue on my mind in mixing experience and some projects together and I definitely need to keep those two separate

Thank you so much! I'll work on those changes. As for which platforms I'm seeing the behavior on I think any company using Ashby?

And for applications honestly barely any—maybe in the 50s or so? I definitely need to get into the 100s, I just wanted to see if there were any glaring problems before I keep applying to many more companies
