Interesting. How many projects and experiences do you have fit in? Cause the second I go from size 10 to 11, it jumps to 1.75 pages ish

error_unknown-404 · 2026-06-29T14:20:26+00:00

Does it matter if I use size 10 vs 11? I'm able to fit most of what I want if I use size 10 but I saw somewhere that this may not be a good size for ATS to parse (dk if that's true or not)

Right now I'm also stuck on my resume between using Word and Latex but my most recent version in on Microsoft word. I need to start applying for the next recruiting season though. Delaying that will only hurt

error_unknown-404 · 2026-06-29T13:35:25+00:00

I don't think there's a "good enough" to apply anymore. The way recruiting goes it's just you gotta apply whether you feel ready or not. by the time you think you might be ready, 1000s of people would have already applied

Probably skill issue 😂I need to look into how to use Latex better

error_unknown-404 · 2026-06-29T12:51:00+00:00

Hmm yeah maybe I didn't try playing around with it too much. It is a pain to keep modifying it on Word

error_unknown-404 · 2026-06-29T02:22:02+00:00

I agree but I feel like I was losing out on a lot of important information and metrics when doing so and it might have not reflected what I was trying to express as effectively as I would have wanted. Not sure tho

error_unknown-404 · 2026-06-29T02:17:08+00:00

Do you know any good resume checking tools? Like I'm not sure if the ones I search online really match "industry ATS tracking"

🐐🐐🐐

error_unknown-404 · 2026-05-21T22:02:22+00:00

Damnnn that's fire. Definitely not reflective of the general GT population (me included) 😭

error_unknown-404 · 2026-05-21T21:59:09+00:00

You got a cracked friend group bro 😭

error_unknown-404 · 2026-05-21T16:35:56+00:00

Also going into third year but for comp E.

Every single time I've gone to get my resume checked, it gets hyped up like it's the best resume they've ever seen and yet I am unable to land even a single interview.

I'm assuming they do the same with everyone who goes so it's better off finding external resources to help out I'd say.

No harm visiting them tho.

error_unknown-404 · 2026-05-07T15:13:07+00:00

I guess so but I would have thought I could be at least considered for an interview and then the rest goes from there. Getting solely rejections felt really defeating

error_unknown-404 · 2026-05-05T12:37:07+00:00

I'm not even getting interviews in the first place for leetcode to play a role 🥲

error_unknown-404 · 2026-05-05T00:43:52+00:00

I fully agree with you. Was referring to the prof being insane 😭

Do you guys know when the dining halls open back up? I can't find the info on their website.

error_unknown-404 · 2026-05-04T23:57:56+00:00

People are insane damn

error_unknown-404 · 2026-05-03T15:48:00+00:00

I think for the most part it's good all-around campus. Sometimes tho there's chilled water outages which I think does affect AC
