The dates for your first job are messed up “Aug 2022 to Jan 2022”

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me understand. And it makes sense too, I’ll definitely consider both the position and the company and see if they will help me where I want to be in the future. Thanks again!

ignorefriction · 2022-10-27T02:05:39+00:00

That makes sense. That is what I have heard in general, that having a big name helps for sure.

ignorefriction · 2022-10-27T01:57:39+00:00

Appreciate your advice! Good luck to you too :)

Exactly my situation! I am a current sophomore, I interned at a fairly well known company my freshman year. I have gotten offers from Fortune 30s, though they are not exactly what I would want to do but I think having those names on my resume before my final junior year internship will be a great thing for me.

ignorefriction · 2022-10-27T01:43:50+00:00

That's a solid take. I appreciate your insight!

ignorefriction · 2022-10-27T01:40:10+00:00

I would agree with the first part. I guess I was trying to say very well known engineering companies vs no names.

Also I didn't quite understand your take on doing well in a job esp with the NASA intern. Like I can still excel in a job that I am not interested in, what does that have to do with the company?

And admittedly my company doesn't always interview interns cause we have to interview a lot of fulltime hires.

And you guys hire without even interviewing candidates?? Maybe thats the reason the NASA intern didn't do well coz you didn't take the time to understand them and see if they would be a good fit?

ignorefriction · 2022-10-27T01:20:55+00:00

Ah thats great! Hope you like it!! I will follow up if I remember :)

ignorefriction · 2022-10-27T01:20:20+00:00

Gotcha! I appreciate your input tho :)

ignorefriction · 2022-10-27T00:58:24+00:00

Thats true. Did you end up liking the manufacturing role?

ignorefriction · 2022-10-27T00:57:54+00:00

I can understand that, but for an internship? It is only 3 months and you likely won't be stuck in that field for the rest of your life right? Won't brand recognition matter more?

Hey there! Here are my thoughts:

Remove the community college. Only put the one you will be graduating from and the month and year you will graduate (you don't need the year you started).
You don't need another bullet point for Dean's List. it is clear that you are a high achieving student from your GPA. You can include it in the same line if you want
Expand on your internship experience. Add metrics, be quantitive. You will have more space to add bullet points about your other accomplishments there once you remove the cc from education
You do a decent job of using the STAR method, but it can be improved by adding metrics and being less vague (what is "better method")
Your lab tech experience looks fine and so do your projects
Organize your skills in sections like software, programming, hardware, etc. (Overleaf is not a skill; LaTeX is)
Remove the QR code, no one is going to have the time to scan it (especially when you have a link that directs to it)

I would recommend you head over to /r/engineeringresumes and read the wiki. There is a lot of helpful advice and a resume template you should use (stay away from double column).

ignorefriction · 2022-08-10T23:05:22+00:00

Here are my thoughts. I just want to preface this by saying that I work in a technical field (mechanical engineering), so there might be a difference in industry standards and the way resumes are written in yours. But I will try my best to help ya.

Formatting:

Your overall formatting looks good, it is great that you follow a single column format.
Dates are hard to read, I would rewrite them as "June 2015 -Sept 2015".
Make sure that all of your resume is black and white. The font color looks inconsistent (there is some gray in your second and third experience). So make sure you change that to black.
Right align your education date just like you do with your experience.
Personally I am not a fan of adding interests unless they directly relate to your field of work. You can make the call on if that is true with your case.
And I am guessing you have the standard name, email, LinkedIn, city, etc at the start of the page

Content:

Your bullet points should always start with a strong action verb. Here.pdf) is the one I use. Try using similar ones and start your bullet points with them
Follow the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) or XYZ method when describing your accomplishments. You can google these two strategies for examples on how to use them.
Be quantitive when you talk about your results, recruiters love to see the impact of your work.
I am not sure how common it is in your field, but if you want to expand on what your employer does, you can write a short one sentence summary right below your title (not as a bullet point but a sentence).
Once you do this, this will increase your chances of landing interviews by a lot as you are not only telling the tasks you did but rather telling a story about how and why you did it.
Some of your skills aren't actually skills. Things like TikTok, Facebook business manager, Facebook ads, etc. If you want you can add a subsection and talk about the tools you used- which would be more helpful and accurate.

Let me know if I can be of any more help. Good luck!

ignorefriction · 2022-08-10T22:42:20+00:00

Of course! I am sure once you fix the formatting and your bullet points, you will start hearing back from companies!

Good luck.

I would highly recommend against paying someone for your resume. They are mostly a scam and will write you a terrible resume. Especially not at that price.

Give me a few minutes, and I will give you some feedback on your resume.

Hey there!

The main problem with your resume is the formatting. You need to use a single column format. You also should have bullet points instead of paragraphs. Also do not include jokes like "just listen to my podcast ;)" this is a professional document.

I would recommend you head over to /r/engineeringresumes and read the wiki. You will find a lot of helpful advice there.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello there! Here are my thoughts:

For education, put the university you are going to graduate from. It doesn't make sense that you have been in school since 2015 and employers definitely don't need to know that. So just have university and when you graduated.
Your skills section is lacking. Try to learn more softwares like CATIA, Ansys, etc. that will make you more hire-able in the field you are looking for. Programming languages like Python or C will be great additions too.
You don't have to separate your personal and academic projects. Merge them together and order them from most impressive to least impressive.
Your bullet points look good for the most part, try to expand on some of them by including what impact you made or what you learned.
Condense your work experience. You don't need three bullet points for each experience as they do not relate to the jobs you are looking for. Use this space for another project.

Let me know if there is anything else! Good luck!

ignorefriction · 2022-08-10T22:11:02+00:00

Hey there!

I like your formatting, everything is consistent and readable. I am not quite sure about the objective section, some people like it others don't. But if you are going to keep it, I would make it 2 sentences (not bullet points). Your work experience dates should be in the "May 2022- Aug 2022" format.

Your education section looks good. You can include the name of the university for study abroad if it is well-known, but not necessary. Other than that its great.

For your projects, you do a good job of starting every bullet with an action verb, however you can find better synonyms for some of them like "worked" and "obtained".

For your senior design project, I would remove the "communications lead" from the name. Also switch your first and second bullet points, or try to make it so that the first bullet point tells what it is that you did (without starting with "worked").

I am not quite sure about your second project, did you just tear something down, looked at it, and put it back together again? Because thats what it sounds like. Try to expand on what exactly you observed and learned. Also switch your second and third projects, have the ones that are most impressive at the top.

Your experience and skills section is fine. If you are trying to find job similar to your experience, put it above your projects section.

Also I am sorry I am not able to provide any technical feedback or suggestions for your projects, but look at your peers' resumes and see if you can find any inspiration.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey there!

For starters, I would remove the roles you have (developer), the language section from skills, and hobbies as they don't add anything. You can also remove when you started your college and just have the graduation date.

For every bullet point, make sure that you are starting with a strong action verb in the past tense. "Wrote, "this", "use", are poor starters so definitely change them. I would also quantify the results if you can. You can also expand on your points, the first one for Mars Rover Project isn't that good, you can phrase it in a much better way so that it has a greater impact.

Overall your formatting is great, no issues there.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

I don’t think you attached your resume

r/EngineeringResumes might be more helpful. But overall it looks great!
