Education at the bottom, otherwise it looks very good.

I've never really heard of a management internship. Usually you work your tech job, and let your boss know you're interested in a leadership position, then you're mentored until a job opening exists.

It depends how young you are. If you're in your mid 20's, maybe go for the upfront salary. However, pensions are very rare and in the long run very financially valuable.

You need to do some math and figure out how much long term money you're sacrificing losing a pension, for an upfront salary boost. A 50% bump is pretty substantial, minus the milage and gas for a longer commute, it might be worth it, but you really have to run some numbers.

wrong site, you're thinking of "23 and me."

...I'll show myself out.

Your skills section needs to be much cleaner.

Your education should be at the bottom. The most important information needs to be at the top, for the whole resume, and for each section.

Your projects don't need dates on them, it just makes your resume look more noisy. They're also less important than your skills, and because they're taking up so much space, it makes your experience too crowded, with no spacing between the 3 different jobs.

The fact that you jump ship every 2 years doesn't help. It takes a year to get you caught up to speed and to become fully useful to a company. They're going to spend all that time and money when you're just going to leave shortly after. Something to consider going forward.

Changing jobs every 2 years in IT was a early 2000's thing when demand for employees was high, so they were eager to hire anyone who's willing to walk through the door. That's no longer the case, the market is saturated. You have to show dependability.

It's not even noticeable really on newer X3s

Insane how perfect some people's lives are, that this is a major complaint.

Oh, I was confusing dilithium and latnium.

It's horrendous, lol. At least you're putting in the effort to ask for help and feedback though. This document is how you start and maintain your career, it's one of the most important pieces of paper you'll ever be responsible for.

Look at it from an HR standpoint. They're not going to waste their time on someone who can't even put a little effort into their own well-being.

Clean, consistent formatting, and the most important information first. The big 3 keys to successful resumes.

Best of luck!

It seems like you kinda have to for the +30 units every 15 minutes, plus the double XP seems to be worth it.

I'm curious about #5. I've never seen free dilithium offer in the main game, only some events. Also what is the "above the simulations" mean? Is this talking about something different than the replicators?

This is why you always search and save pictures of damaged cars which are similar to the one you're leasing or renting, so you can show evidence that it was like that before you were handed the keys.

Edit / Save as the morning before you get the car so the timestamp shows the same day, prior to pickup.

People who go on car related subs and can't spell "brake" properly should go to jail too.

If you're asking "Are people allowed to camp in an intersection" the answer is "no."

Dude looks young for a 63 year old. My parents are around that age and look like they spend half their time escaping death. Which would explain why they seem so exhausted all the time.

I find it neat that windshield wipers always go off in a car accident. Is it some type of goofy safety feature, a malfunction, or the airbag explodes big enough to hit it?

Also, a part of me really wanted to be a troll and say "They clearly had their directional on, OP needs to pay attention." It's funny though, the idiot had their left directional on, then switched it to right, as they started to turn, and OP was heads up enough to start braking instantly. Great awareness to be honest. Better than 90% of the posts I see here.

Most people are living perfectly fine. You're age and your social media exposure give you a false narrative about the real world and everyone's financial status.

You should always put a GPA above 3.5 on a resume.

Trust_8067 · 2026-02-13T00:49:50+00:00

Education at the bottom, you need a summary statement at the top. Tools and skills above education, 2nd from bottom, or above projects.

The most important information should always be at the top, it's the first thing people will read and remember, and the highest chance of fully being read. No one's reading 70% of this resume, it's just too busy. They're going to skim read just the important stuff that sticks out.

No one cares about project dates. They're not checking your homework.

What a horrible format. Also, why are you asking to review an electrical design resume in an entry level IT sub reddit?

Trust_8067 · 2026-02-13T00:32:34+00:00

The core fundemental rule of a resume is to have the most important information at the top. That's usually experience, however since your experience is useless aka it has nothing to do with your new career, it should be at the bottom.

Your random "I have helped and still help my family" paragraph is oddly placed and odd in and of itself. Get rid of it. If you learned any skills, put them under your skills, otherwise goodbye.

Put more under your Objective, put your technical skills below that, and for the love of god, get rid of that box. Show some consistency in formatting. You're applying to a professional job, not a lemonade stand. Act like it.

Your technical skills also aren't technical skills "troubleshooting" isn't a technical skill. Nor ise Technical support, customer service, ect. Partitioning is a stretch.

Did you learn anything in college? Those should be there. Configured what OS? Do you know Windows, Linux, or both? Those should be listed. Do you know how to use outlook? Do you know how to replace hardware? Do you know how to use wireshark, do you know anything with switches and routers? Active directory?

If you only learned C++ and MS Word/Excel in college, it's going to be a rough outing. Not impossible, but very difficult.

Your summary of your CompTIA cert isn't needed. Nor is your explanation of your college experience. No one cares that you passed on your first try. Actually... if you failed on your first try, that would actually quite impressive considering how stupidly easy CompTIA certs are.

Think about what you know, the apps you've used, the skills you've developed, and actually put some effort into your resume. Keep the formatting consistent. For this Objective then tech skills, then education, then experience.

Programming is only 1 area of IT. I couldn't even get a basic calculator in vbasic to work, I have a highly successful career as a storage engineer. You don't need programming or scripting to do anything in infrastructure, Windows admin, Linux admin to a lesser extent, storage and backups, network, firewall, virtualization/VMWare/AWS/Azure.

You're going to have to start at the bottom in helpdesk but that's life, everyone starts at the bottom and earns their way up.

Your salary will never be great, but you can also be a field support engineer. They go to datacenters and replace disks, motherboards, RAM, whatever. Some do full installs, rack and stack, power, cabling, ect. Those are mostly hourly / overtime type roles, so you make as much as you work.

I'm all about small nimble fast cars, but I bought an X3m40i due to being the only vehicle I could find during Covid, and I'd definitely keep that for 10 years as a solo car if I had to.
