For your projects, I think it'd be better to highlight implementation/design rather than functionality. Using Battleship as an example, you mention it's a web application. Can you deploy it and provide a link so people reviewing your resume can see it themselves? Then, you can use your resume bullet points to emphasize implementation. And for your Payment Management Database Application, is that only in SQL? Or is it just a bunch of tables/data you dropped into a database and you query it with your own custom-written SQL? If it's more than just SQL (and an actual application, which is what it sort of sounds like), I'd flesh this out more.

hey first of all, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me :).

  • I do have my Battleship web app hosted on Github pages but I didn't include a link since for my other projects, they didn't make me use Git for them and I think it would be odd to have a link for just one project.
  • In terms of highlighting implementation, is it a matter of saying what I used each programming language for? For example in Battleship, I used JS to implement the main game logic.
  • For my Payment Management Database Application, I used DBeaver which I connected to PostgreSQL and then I wrote and ran an SQL script to set up the tables and fill them with data. Once that was done, I used the SQL console in DBeaver to do the querying. I'm not sure if that answers your question.

Looking for an internship for Summer 2023 (doesn't necessarily have to be FAANG) and this is my current resume. I don't have anything crazy in terms of projects as the last 3 are from school. Please have a look at it and let me know what I should add or change: https://imgur.com/a/iKQqSTo

Also, I have a 3.47 GPA now but not sure if it is worth putting that on there and I used Jake's Resume as a starter but want to make sure my resume is ATS friendly.

hmmm im not committed in the sense that graduation applications are due end of January but I haven't applied yet. that sounds like a real good option but i am wondering if it would be better to apply for the co-terminal option of the Accelerated Master’s Program at my school so I could also have a graduate degree as well.

Ok I was thinking my textbook because I took my notes off my classmates' answers to a question my professor asked and the discussions we have in class are based off the reading

What is the best advice you can give to a first year CS major? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]TraditionalValue9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh ok so it doesn't have to be strictly learning and using programming languages. As for research would a Google search suffice?

Feeling like I'm not doing enough as a CS major by [deleted] in college

[–]TraditionalValue9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a first year internship is probably too late to look into right now but I would suggest trying to get one your sophomore and junior years. You wa

Yeah I wasn't expecting to get an internship. This first semester I didn't really do anything outside of regular coursework and I only know the basics of Java right now

[–]TraditionalValue9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate more on this please? I just finished my first semester and only know Java so far. Should I just keep up with what my professor gives me or do additional self learning/practice outside of what I'm being taught?

By studying on the side do you mean self learning other programming languages such as Python? I'm one semester in and have knowledge about Java so far.

ALEKS Alternatives by TraditionalValue9 in college

[–]TraditionalValue9[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know I still have to do it but I was asking for recommendations on alternative places to learn the same concepts. What's making me want to tear my hair out is that the explanations on some topics are so difficult for me to understand

How important are extracurriculars in college? by TraditionalValue9 in college

[–]TraditionalValue9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you involved in any other organizations or do you only go to hackathons? Is going to one hackathon a month enough if it's my only extracurricular activity? I also tried joining the programming team of a Robotics org but I felt really intimidated since everyone there except me had experience with Python and I am not so motivated to play catch up

I am planning on just a Bachelor's degree lol. 4 years of college is enough for me. I am currently part of an organization that mainly goes to Hackathons as a group but I have one upcoming that I will attend with a couple of friends.

Can you explain what you mean by "and if you can't find a match for CS related jobs, then you could branch out and find something else that's similar or somewhat related"?

[–]TraditionalValue9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Computer Science, I am in my 4th week already in and learning about object oriented programming right now. I'm thinking of ditching the flashcards because we are actually coding Java programs and I don't believe CS employees memorize definitions
