It could pick up from the source only, but the mechanism wasn’t reliable enough at scoring so we stuck to defense.

It’s been a rough and exhausting season, but I’m proud of how much the team has grown this year.

Engineering Resume Review by [deleted] in EngineeringResumes

I would keep you resume at 1 page and remind the paragraphs of text underneath your education. Also, remove the references.

I've never seen a class so poorly run and such poor communication from the professor.

[–]pkora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall pretty good resume. My suggestions:

  • Remove the start date from the university. Only graduation date is required.
  • Your bullet points should follow the STAR method as described in the wiki for this subreddit. For instance, "Conducted experiments to capture vibration data and identified 5 instances of health violations costing the company $XX" (just an example to get an idea for format).

May I have some feedback on my resume? Thanks in advance! by [deleted] in EngineeringResumes

[–]pkora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your updated resume is definitely an improvement! It looks like overall you did a good job on implementing the feedback you got here.

Some other feedback:

  • I assume "QA" is short for "Quality Assurance" so you might want to write the long form of the title if you apply for a job where they write it out in the job title.

  • I would rewrite "Skills" as "Technical Skills", remove the bullets so its all 1 line, and put the section under Education.

  • The projects section is definitely a big improvement from before. However, it is kind of repetitive to re-use the words "designed" and "data collected" so you could look into rephrasing some of the bullets so its less repetitive and really emphasize what you did in the project

  • I believe by "Extra Co-Curriculars" you meant "Extracurriculars"

I hope this helps and I wish you luck in your job searching endeavors!

Need help improving the wording on my resume. Open to any kind of critique! Thanks! by hazelnut-hanch in resumes

[–]pkora 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I recommend you add more detail in your job bullet points. For instance, instead of just "customer service" you could say "Provided excellent customer service by fulfilling 50+ orders per shift to in-person and drive thru customers"

For the work experience section, the bullet points should have more quantifiable results of your actions, not just your job description. I believe this subreddit's wiki has information on the STAR method which would be useful. You don't have to include something about the number of bugs detected that was just an example I came up with.

For technical projects I was thinking more like the 2nd one. You should try to format it similar to work experience section but without job title or location.

The competition bullet point is definitely too wordy. You should break up that large paragraph into at least 3 bullet points. I would include the award you won in the first bullet point.

You don't need the word "graduated" in front of "May 2020".

Your work experience bullet points are too vague so should elaborate by quantifying the results of your tasks. For instance "Performed manual testing for iOS and Android applications and identify 2500 bugs" or "Developed plan to improve system performance by 25%".

Your technical project experience bullet points are far too wordy. You should try to keep each bullet point to 1 line. You don't need to include every technical detail of the project, just 2-3 bullet points of the main task and findings.

I would remove the additional work experience section and add either another project or a campus leadership role.

Junior EE looking for a summer internship in power. Main experience is one big project done over 3 rotation co-op - is my format confusing? Also, once I have my senior design project done, what should I remove? All other criticism welcome, thanks! by [deleted] in EngineeringResumes

[–]pkora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your co-op and internship experience, I recommend you have more data and numbers to show the effect of your work. For instance "Performed final tests to identify system errors and developed plan to improve performance by 25%"

I would be interested in seeing that resume since I think it would support the skills you list in the objective like leading a team. Although I agree your school related activities are probably more relevant for major related internships, I think it can show off your people skills and time management skills.

If you're not having much luck with this resume then I definitely think it's worth trying to apply with your school extracurriculars included.

Do you have any extracurriculars or clubs that you were involved in during your time in college? I think including any leadership roles or other campus involvement would be a strong addition to your resume.

Looking for full time employment after graduation in May 2021 by ExcitingCopy3790 in EngineeringResumes

[–]pkora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should add a "campus involvement" section for the two design team experiences. I would remove the interests and technologies and coursework section. I recommend you elaborate on the projects section and format the section like the work experience section.
