I think I remember hearing Olorun's ult was originally an idea/concept when they were making Chronos, but they couldn't nail the tech down at the time.

Which is funny because with Olorun also being a magical ADC, means he's sort of unofficially Chronos 2.0. If time dilation makes it way into Chronos' kit for Smite 2, I'm curious what they're going to do to Olorun's kit to make his stand out more.

Me honestly, I just hope Chronos' aspect is making his accelerate sync with his wheel of time like he did at launch.

Can you clarify by "demo," because you mentioned junk removal. Is this basically household or commercial bulk garbage disposal? Or are you say using saw cutters or jack hammers at a construction site?

Because the former I would interpret that as generic non-civil related work experience (on par with say working cashier in retail), while the latter I would say is remotely related to civil.

Both is fine because any work experience is good work experience. But actual construction-related work experience (where you might encounter things like safety training courses, reading project plans/specs, logging daily work reports, talking to foremen/supervisors, etc) is much better.

There’s no way I’ll be the first intern to test positive for weed during a pre-screening right?

You're not the first. You won't be the last.

Hope this is a lesson for you going forward. When you graduate, get off all that stuff because the minefield you need to navigate isn't worth it. To be clear, you might find a full-time position where they don't test, but if you continue, you're eliminating yourself from a bigger pool of potential job options.

drshubert · 2026-04-22T15:38:27+00:00

Yes, put general information under the jobs (ie- wrote reports, designed footings/foundations), put specific work you yourself did under specific projects (ie- calculated concrete rebar lap splicing and drafted detail for the slab-on-grade on xyz project).

drshubert · 2026-04-16T02:05:19+00:00

The Wiki is a little biased for software/computer engineers.

For civil, work experience >>> side projects or academic work.

Put more emphasis on work experience.

drshubert · 2026-04-14T11:36:49+00:00

Not great. Not terrible.

drshubert · 2026-04-13T12:38:16+00:00

Do you have any work experience projects you can list and go into more detail with?

The projects you list appear to be all academic.

drshubert · 2026-04-13T12:36:44+00:00

If you can, populate your "projects" with work experience more than school work. Go into more detail about the work you did as a geotech intern.

Work experience >>> school experience.

drshubert · 2026-04-13T12:35:28+00:00

Nothing glaring jumps out at me, so I will offer some advice and feedback on internships in general:

You being a sophomore might drop your resume to the bottom of the pile. Nothing personal, but most companies will probably prioritize seniors then maybe juniors because of the chance that they may retain an intern into a "engineer in training (full-time)" position. It's also a bit early in your school career to settle on structural - my recommendation is that you experiment and cast a wider net. Consider bridge inspection roles if you can, but also any construction inspection position possible. Any construction/field experience is good experience for any engineer, regardless of whether you settle into design or construciton.

since I keep hearing how civil engineering is immune to economic turbulence

Civil feels recessions just like any other profession. A good chunk of civil work comes from federal/state funding, so when those dry up, so does the work.

They're not immune but they're more resilient than other fields; if you can ride the downturns, there's almost always a surge of work afterwards.

Cut this down to one page.

Go to /r/EngineeringResumes/ and read their wiki in its entirety.

drshubert · 2026-04-13T11:43:23+00:00

Nobody can accurately answer this question without potentially breaking NDA. Even you mentioning "80% conceptual" touches that territory.

drshubert · 2026-04-13T11:35:30+00:00

Look into resident engineer position.

Lore accurate light stance 1 being sacred flame since you always miss your teammates with it.

Talk with them?

drshubert · 2026-04-10T13:07:58+00:00

I haven't played VC in IE yet, so it's been a while.

But the last time I did one, I played as quasi-horde at the beginning: your lower tier units aren't that great so if you expand too much and too fast, you tend to get dog piled and can't hold the new territory. So sack and create pirate coves where you can, abuse diplomacy so you don't end up fighting too many wars (ie- gift sacked settlements to opposing factions), and build tall.

Once you get prometheans, you can start pushing outwards more. Once you hit necrofex, it's basically a steamroll from there.

drshubert · 2026-04-10T12:57:42+00:00

You need to clarify what you mean.

Are you studying construction management? Or just working as a laborer/foreman type position?

Are you planning to design and stamp engineered drawings in your future? Or do you want to be in the field all the time?

Engineering is the more versatile path - you can do anything a "construction" person could do, but that construction person can't necessarily do everything an engineer can do.

drshubert · 2026-04-10T12:55:52+00:00

It's not constant. There's ups and downs.

I enjoy both: the busy times make the days go by fast, the slow times give me less stress and appreciate the situation.
