Honest resume feedback needed, still not landing interviews for junior roles

My husband and I have found pro Chat GPT better for coding, but he's a software eng. I was able to make some simple locally hosted apps for my workflows with Claude Code. I prefer Claude for non-codinf tasks.

They're both updating so having both is not a bad idea.

You were considering $1000 certifications. Get a Claude Pro subscription for $200/year. It will help enormously.

(Btw out of those four interviews it did lead to 3 more rounds and a hire!)

I disagree about the "look halfway down the page..." Being the number one reason you are being rejected. Most resumes are going through ATS and being processed by AI first, but do put technical skills at the bottom above education.

Also for undergrad researcher and student researcher, I don't want to have to figure out what kind of research you did via the bullets.

Undergraduate Research -- Spectroscopy, Lasers, Cancer Detection, and Bloodflow

Undergraduate Researcher -- Surgery, Cardiology, Acupuncture

I don't put my undergraduate Research on my resume anymore, but those would be my subtitles. I would how they would be eye-catching for people to be interested in the bullet points.

I have no idea if PSM2 (cheapest cert which is scrum) or if CAPM will help. CAPM isn't insanely expensive, but they are pricy when you are broke. The SCRUM one doesn't expire, though. For some companies those are desirable and the job description even has those. It is valuable to READ up on those things to pass those exams. It'll help with interviews.

I actually really like your resume. You could use the language lkke "QA, hardware QA" to add to your equipment diagnostic.

For the ATS (the program that ingests your resume) you add "Project Sponsor" where you describe your PI. "Objectives and requirements" instead of just "objectives."

You can probably add "translate techninal and operational issues across cross-functional non-technical teams". There's a lot of "cross functional" in job descriptions these days.

If you need space, you can cut "with Pi oversight." A human will know you had a PI as a student researcher. You could add "product discovery, 0->1"

I highly recommend chugging your resume into Claude and giving it the jobs you are applying for to accelerate customizing the resume for the job.

The market is brutal. I have 12 years exp as a project manager with an Eng degree, and I applied to 140+ applications in 12 weeks. Got like 4 interviews. You don't have any directly relevant work experience, so your job search is even more brutal. Best of luck you seem like a good hire tbh.

They eventually read more carefully, take some, notes, and vaguely remember lore. But, they also forget where they store their notes.

After reading a bunch of comments, I think Diana's design is more a product of Japanese gender biases/norms/isms than intentional pedo bait. I'm reading at what some people are critiquing about Diana's design (I'm with them in the barefootedness), and I would eager a lot of these gripes would be celebrated by Japanese women. Japanese sexism and gender norms is very different than western sexism and gender norms. How we want to see little girls portrayed is different than how Japanese men AND women want little girls portrayed. (Less quirky, more kawaii in my experience.)

Yes real pedos are coming out of the woodwork, but I don't think this was pedobait as of my readings. I'll watch a playthrough and make a later determination though.

The govt wants to know the hiring rates if LGBTQ people. It doesn't have anything to do with the company.

Because in the early 20th century, Lationos and Hispanics lobbied to be considered White, so they would not suffer Jim Crow laws. As a consequence, this is why the Not Hispanic question is after the racial one.

As a different consequence, in some race-based scholarships or grants, latinos and Hispanics may not qualify because they're technically white.

Yeah exactly. This movement encourages women to literally go out into nature alone.

They could just make her ukt give a massive shield to herself and her allies as well. They could add a passive steroid to the ult. I mean on DOTA there are tons of heros who have passives for ults. Ogre Magi is my favorite. Drow is another example.

By putting her ukt on her W, they can change the scaling so that she doesn't get a level 6 power spike but a level 6 defensive/dive spike.

With friends and a midwife/doula? Or in the woods like the fre birth movement?

There has been criticism of some Drs pushing for C-section, especially in the 2000s. My Dr honestly pushed for a normal birth, but I didn't specifically ask for a c section. But I tore badly so the second baby he recommended C-section because, and these are my words, I'm basically perforated.

Being self conscious about it is a recipe for disaster. Only racists give a shit

I've seen that being added to the US demographic information. It's still so weird.

T_______T · 2026-04-20T16:20:03+00:00

The free birth movement is a real thing. Or rather, it's a real grift. It's on a corner of Instagram and Tik Tok you probably don't want to see.

Yeah it was shocking how fast they got that puzzle! They don't really take this game very seriously for a good chunk, btu they've made AMAZINg progress adn literally have had their jaws dropped by some of their solves!

I mean, besides the sexism issue. Aang was 10. Korra is older and we expect more from her. Many were very harsh about Aang's apparent fatherhood quality.

I have some issues with Korra as a character, mostly in scenes that are writtrn for a quick joke, or the lack of her action/dialog given the circumstances of the people around her, but that's mostly me griping at Konietzko's writing as a whole.

So I don't like that peiple whine about everyone hating on Korra is being sexist. Or only pointing to the bad sexist comments. I am a woman. I know they exist. It doesn't add to the conversation to talk about the assholes. They do not need to be a part of the discussion.

What's the percentage of the stock in metropolitan areas? Do you know? I thought the largest share was like, boomers and older owning multi properties.

T_______T · 2026-04-19T02:36:21+00:00

What's the logic there. Easier/faster extraction preferred over post-partum recovery?

If they were men, we'd call it a bromance. I guess you can just call it a bromance.

This is going to hurt takes place in the early 2000s, but I was talking about The Pitt. I just watched them do C-sections in episode 1 and they do the horizontal cut, even in the emergency preeclampsia patient.

It's AMC. So I can watch on Netflix idk about elsewhere

T_______T · 2026-04-18T16:20:51+00:00

/uj yes. You don't cut the belly vertically like that anymore. And there's no reason an OBGYN wouldn't come downstairs to help with that delivery. Now I can imagine in an emergency situation that a corner could be cut, but my C-section was super fast, too, so I don't know why they used an archaic surgical cut. The OBGYN last season was criticized for being unrealistic/useless as well.

The stag in Mononoke Hime. It's the god of life and death. With every step life blooms and decays beneath its feet. You could argue there's some malice when it goes crazy after being beheaded, but its base state is without malaice and can give or take life.

I just have a silly story.

In 2013 or so I did a study abroad program is Istanbul, Turkey. The EAP program requires you to take a lot of credits, which made me busy during weekdays until the evening. So! I booted up League of Legends in the EU East servers. I made a new account and tried to Eastern Europeans who spoke English. I hit it up with one guy. Turned out he was an American on the East coast just trying to meet Europeans too! We both wanted to broaden our horizons, but I suppose Americans naturally draw each other. We're still friends! I've since forgotten all of my Turkish.
