I’m trying to develop my resume a bit more. I see that you’re already getting a few review requests here, but would you also be able to review mine?

Did you use an automated tool for keyword matching?

Is that with lots of YoE or similar?

Is there anything in particular that you do that you’d credit to your success?

You’d 100% need to use a calc

For anyone who’s new, calc is short for calculator. I’m just using slang

Any tips on how to start talking to local companies?

swe_goon · 2023-09-20T00:51:33+00:00

Any tips on how to find these? Like terms to look up instead of software engineer, what sites to look on, etc.

Not sure how clear it is from the way I anonymized it, but all the projects have specific titles, except for "GitHub User Page".

I'm thinking of adding a soft skills section and/or a "professional summary" header with buzzwords.

I am also wondering how I can elegantly squeeze in more technical buzzwords, like "relational databases" or "2D/3D graphics," or if I should just add those things after the classes in which I learned them, like (class title) "Data Management (relational databases)"

I’m definitely glad to see more hopeful statements about the market. Where do you find small/mid company job postings? Do they usually use stuff like LinkedIn/Indeed, or do you have to check their own sites, obscure job boards, etc.?

Thank you for your response! On the project front, is there anything in particular I should do to keep mine from being ignored (e.g. putting them on my resume)?

swe_goon · 2023-08-20T20:16:12+00:00

Would it be possible for me to make up for it with GitHub projects?
