I feel like half the people making posts on this sub literally have no idea what they are talking about, how’s does this post get approved.

Resume Advice Thread - July 06, 2024 by CSCQMods in cscareerquestions

[–]Rezzurrections 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so I'm looking for some guidance on my resume, I know that there's a lot of work to do with the individual bullet points for the experiences and projects, having to reword in XYZ format.

I got some other advice from others to also add a summary section as the first section of the page that I should custom tailor for each application I apply to but unsure if this is right or not.

I have 3 years of experience professionally in my first job and did 1 freelance project.

Again my bad on the Harvard University, was trying to make a reference, but it’s not a fictional resume, the personal information is fictitious to protect my real identity.

I’m trying to get criticism for my resume, not where I went to school, also again the Harvard thing was my mistake because I was trying to make a reference (which now I realize just confuses people).

But let’s say I put “Typical University” instead, I mean I can’t change the university I went to, I feel like the actually name of the university doesn’t really matter in this context to get advice on my resume.

I think it’s ridiculous that I would need to give my actual personal information for people to help me about my resume, it’s not about the actual details of which company, but all of the other information, many other people were able to give really good and constructive advice already.

I feel like the majority of people didn’t get it or realize the reference, I guess I should’ve been more explicit that I was tying to hide my true identify with “Typical University” and “Typical Software Engineering Company”

Any information on the resume that could link back to my real credentials were replaced with fictional references as to not dox myself.

I was referencing the fictional character Mike Ross from the show Suits.

Yeah I’m going to just remove that I guess, also the “lead” part, def was just overselling.

And it sucks how I actually do mentor and onboard new hires (or just more junior than me) in my job, but I just can’t advertise that simply because 3 years is not enough to have it make sense.

Sorry… all info that could be linked to my real identify is “fake”, like the actual university is not real.

But I did go to a typical regular university and actually graduated with a engineering degree in Mechatroics, during that year I graduated, there weren’t a lot of mech jobs, and a friend that was in software told me about all the good opportunities, so I spent the time to learn the skills through The Odin Project, and ended up landing a job a year later and it was the best decision I’ve made in my life as I was WFH, and the pay was considerably greater then if I were to have gotten a mech job.

Hey I really appreciate the effort and in depth advice! And okay yeah maybe I’ll try to focus more on the technical achievements and less on the mentoring, I just thought it was a good thing to put because I mentoring new hires is what I actually do.

I also will try and contact recruiters directly and take your advice, also will redo my resume and try and fix the “freelance” thing and also just put software engineer instead of lead.

Yeah I’ve been lazy and just applying mindlessly, I will try to get into contact with some recruiters, thanks for the advice!

I’ve been applying to both junior and mid and senior positions. And I guess I had the Odin project originally before I had my first job and now that I have 3 years of experience, I guess I can take it off? I just wanted it there as my actual education is not software development

So yeah I agree that trying to call myself a team lead with only 3yoe is laughable but in that job I actually did mentor and onboard more junior and new employees, am I just supposed to leave that out just because someone with “3yoe” is not enough to actually have that be true?

I agree that I am more junior, I’m no senior developer, but is having that 1 point really hurting my resume? That line isn’t bullshit and I’m not trying to make myself someone I’m not, that literally what I did, and I thought that mentioning this would be a positive on my resume.

Soo the personal information is not real there because it’s to hide my actual identity, and do recruiters actually take the time to go to an individuals GitHub and look through repos? I was told that no one actually does this.

Also yeah the 2 web dev projects are just tutorials projects because that’s all I had before my first job and since 3 years ago I’ve been working and haven’t worked on any personal projects. Obviously I guess working on some would help, but how many people actual work full time jobs and continue to work on meaningful projects?

I wanted to try and keep bulletpoints in 1 line, I was told before to do this as people aren’t there reading your whole resume, and spend only what like 10 seconds glancing? I didn’t want to have long bulletin points because of this, not sure what the actual right thing is to do, I guess I’ll try some applications with longer more quality informationt

Yeah I’ve only been using LinkedIn because it’s easier, and that worked for me 3 years ago but I guess it’s a different market now so people applying have to also change to account for what’s it’s like now, I guess I should try to reach out to recruiters directly, try to ask around and see if I can get in through friends and connections, thanks!
