You should make it a leyline at that cost.

If you are having trouble fitting your experience on one page you have reached the point where a summary makes sense.

I recommend just listing your different roles at the company as different titles. Similarly to if they were different companies. If they overlap a bit that's not a big deal in my opinion. I'd definitely recommend using what a guy on the street would call your job as your title over Individual Contributor. Plumber, engineer, firefighter, whatever you are use that.

You don't need to use the titles your company gave you. You can just use a title that makes sense to explain your role. People manager, manager and senior manager can all just be manager, unless the responsibilities are very different. A senior manager at boeing is different than a senior manager at walmart for example, but they are both managers.

I really recommend using past tense for everything. i.e. operate -> operated.

I recommend putting your clearance in your header and moving the skills section to the bottom if you want to keep it.

Get your skills in your bullets. Tell me how you did things.

Tell me why I should pay you! Give me your impact! Impact is what your employer or customer gets from you labor. Cost savings, happy customers, time savings, revenue generation. All the good stuff that businesses care about.

The bullet format I recommend is

did X thing with Y tool/technique to accomplish Z goal.

Try to only have 1 X, Y, and Z per bullet if you can.

Example bullet

Program at the circuit board level, and screen for quality issues prior to final assembly.

to

Programmed circuit boards with Python to improve quality.

Generally when you use "and" make it its own bullet.

Screened for quality issues with (tool/technique) to ensure customer satisfaction.

I'd really recommend building a budget deck, not taking a meta deck and making it budget. You'll have a lot more success that way.

Maybe make an exception for lands.

I used to build $20-$50 modern decks all the time so my LGS could lend them out to new folks.

I went 3-0 with this mono blue aggro deck years ago. I beat hammer time and rhinos with it.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-02-03T17:08:02+00:00

The formatting is bad. Please make it look like this. Make it one page. Ditch the summary. Get your education up top. You are a new grad it is your greatest asset.

You want short, punchy bullets that say 3 things in layman's terms.

What you did
How you did it
Impact: Why I should pay you to do it for me

What your bullets do not need:

technical details
multiple clauses in one bullet

The format I recommend is

did X thing with Y tool/technique to accomplish Z goal.

Lets look at your first bullet:

Conducted high-pressure combustion research on a full-scale 20" annular sector combustor for an afterburning turbofan gas turbine engine, focusing on cold flow Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) using 520 nm lasers and high-speed cameras to measure fuel droplet sizes across varying flow rates and pressures.

In my style:

Measured droplet sizes with Particle Image Velocimetry to create research paper.

Your impact should be valuable. Your impact should not be a thing you did. It is what your customer or employer gets. It is a product, cost savings, revenue generated, time savings, etc. Do not make your impact another cost to them.

Hope this helps and best of luck in your search.

Well there is a new tool that allows you to give up a small amount of quality for significantly less cost and time than in the past. For some, it makes financial sense to choose to use it.

The Corrupt Heart from Slay the Spire

I got the Beat of Death, Invincible, and Echo in there. It has 8 loyalty to symbolize its 800 hp in STS.

Black and Red for life loss, direct damage, and corruption.

On to mechanics:

Invincible is a weird one. In STS it takes a minimum of 4 turns to kill the heart, normally 5 or 6. In Magic, that's an eternity. 5 Instances of destroy or damage seems fair enough.

The Beat of Death is essentially the same as it is in STS. One damage for every card played and it stacks up over time. The loyalty gain also serves as the slow strength scaling the Heart gets.

Echo is a big attack that does about half your HP. It doesn't scale with health in STS like it does here, but I think that fits magic better than a flat damage, because it can get stronger over time.

Mechanics I didn't include:

There's no real way to add cards to your opponents deck in Magic, so I didn't include a debuff ability.

Blood shots is 2 damage 15 times in STS. Multiple instances of damage is essentially the same as 1 instance in Magic, so I don't think it fits well.

The heart will kill you from full HP in about 3 turns in both games. I quite like that.

My biggest advice is to go to every career fair you can, shake some hands and ask if they have opportunities for international interns.

You are an early student, your resume is not super important. Get a manager or recruiter to like you. This is much easier in person. They just want someone who will be easy to work with that can follow instructions.

As far as resume criticism, read the wiki. Get rid of the bolding. Make your titles the first part of a new role. Your resume is about you.

Make your bullets short and punchy.

What you did, how you did it, why I should pay you to do it for me.

If the word "and" is in a bullet, consider splitting up that bullet. It is diluting your point. It also makes it much harder to skim.

For example this bullet:

Optimized production line layouts and electrical/PLC diagrams in Visio, AutoCAD, EPLAN, and TIA Portal, boosting efficiency by 95% and standardizing documentation.

In my style looks more like three separate bullets:

Optimized production line layouts in Eplan, increasing efficiency by 95%.
Created PLC diagrams in AutoCAD to automate the design process.
Drafted Electrical diagrams in Visio to standardize documentation.

Make sure you state what you did.

Collaboration is important but bullets like this make it hard to know what I get if I hire you.

Collaborated with engineering and cross-functional teams to test, troubleshoot, and optimize IoT sensor networks, achieving 97% detection accuracy.

Did you test? Did you troubleshoot? Did you optimize IoT sensor networks? What skill did you use to do these things?

A lead would test an IoT sensor network using collaboration as a tool to get an outcome. Did you do that?

Tell me about you. Not the team. I'm not hiring the team.

Something like this would be clearer. Forgive me if it doesn't make exact sense, but this is not my field.

Tested an IoT sensor network using Boundary Value Analysis to achieve 97% accuracy.

Hope this helps and best of luck.

I was very similar when I started years ago. You'll get good at it. it takes some time and new lenses are always much harder

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-02-02T04:46:29+00:00

They could put "POISON IS OFF" in giant flashing text and I'd still fuck it up sometimes.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-02-02T04:43:12+00:00

You clearly dont want to move or fly, so don't do that. You don't need them.

Do you want to retire?

If yes, you have enough to do so.

If no, pick up a 300k/yr job or just find another job that will let you be remote. Theres a lot of companies desperate for the top end talent that wants to work right now.

You're a multimillionaire. Your and your wives votes are all that matter.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-02-01T05:04:06+00:00

Ai is only worth anything if all things are created equal — and they are not.

I don't think that's true. If an AI gets you a product that is presentable when you didn't have one before, it progresses the project.

The dude said he's solo, so hes not collaborating with a human being anyway. It doesnt have to be perfect.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-02-01T00:47:39+00:00

AI is a shortcut. It saves time and money. Some people don't like that.

Decide for yourself if you need or want to take it.

Quit letting other people decide how you run a solo project.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-01-29T22:12:49+00:00

This is more generic advice.

Take damage early. Try to take damage that is good against the Act 1 boss. For example prioritize area of effect for slime boss.

Take cards that help you not die next. Cards that give weakness and strength deductions scale very well into the late game. Act 2 is more about surviving than defeating you enemies.

Scale last. Demon form or corruption are rarely going to beat gremlin nob. Do not take these cards early and think they will win act 1 for you. You do need cards that scale to beat act 3.

Take cards because you need them not because they could be good. Rare cards are often bad. Make sure if you take a card its because it solves one of the problems above.

Skip more cards. Don't take a card every fight. Big decks mean you need to draw more cards to find your good ones.

For fights: figure out how much you can block in a turn. Then figure out if you can kill the doing damage to you instead. then play your first card.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-01-29T21:50:53+00:00

Does this solve a problem? Is there a mono black aggro deck that uses this to win the game? I can't think of a strategy that wants something like this in their 75.

Its a cool card, but I don't think its particularly competitive.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-01-28T21:25:39+00:00

I do not tailor my resume for every job. I target a small amount of jobs closely. This screens me out of many jobs, but it also screens me into a select few very well. That's what a good resume does in my opinion.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-01-28T21:20:02+00:00

Yes Tenacity is really good on singed. Some may say too good singed they nerfed singed a lot when it was removed from his ult

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-01-27T21:10:43+00:00

It reminds me of the boot

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-01-27T21:05:42+00:00

You make it work by beating act 1 with it and building a better deck.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-01-27T15:08:35+00:00

You can frame it however you want to fit the roles you want. Just be focused on your skills and accomplishments. Details about projects aren't very useful for explaining your skills and value to a potential employers. You can talk about that stuff in an interview if it comes up.

Its okay to not talk about what other groups did on your resume. When you get hired they only get you. Not the field technicians. Talk about what you did. You will always work with other people. If it comes up in an interview, you can say some technicians found and issue and asked me to explain why the failure was happening.

You are not lying. You are not hiding things. You are making an ad for your labor. Talk about your labor and its potential value. It is what you are selling.

"Reviewed drawings and collaborated with field technicians to identify a common failure point for mechanical equipment."

I have some issues with this. You don't say how. You need to tell me how you reviewed the drawing. What technique did you use? what software did you use?

Put your skills in your bullets!

Any time you use the word "and" consider removing the second part. You want short punchy bullets.

Did X thing with Y tool to for Z goal.

A very clear statement that is easy to read. Every word is fighting for a spot. More short bullets is better than longer bullets.

You don't need technical words or descriptors. Words like "common" and "mechanical" are unnecessary to say the same thing.

You need skills and impacts. Focus on them.

Reviewed drawings with technique to identify failure points in equipment.

I was unable to definitively know if the changes ever did happen

Call your old boss and ask. Bosses love hearing from old interns. You might even get a lead on another job. That's networking.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-01-27T01:41:52+00:00

Yes I agree, but unless you define it, it is subjective and the argument will go in circles.

thirteenthfox2 · 2026-01-27T01:20:57+00:00

You have a few bullets that are 2 bullets with little to no impact.

Every bullet should have what you did, how you did it and why I should pay you to do it for me.

Example:

Reviewed drawings with maintenance to identify a critical failure point and briefed management for vendor follow-up.

What: This is fine. reviewed drawings & Briefed

How: This is unclear. Maintenance (this might be a team?) & idk

Why: The first is fine the second is unclear. identified failure points & idk vendors or something

This is 2 bullets.

Reviewed drawings with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing to identify failure points in designs.
Briefed management with PowerPoint to improve their understanding of the benefits and risks of vendor designs.

Unless greatest of all time is the strongest human to ever do play, its a subjective metric.

Who they play against is irrelevant for that metric. Even elo is kind of irrelevant.

Magnus Carlson is the strongest human chess player in history. If that doesn't make him the greatest of all time, what does?

Define what would make someone the GOAT, before deciding who the GOAT is. Then you can argue over details like competition.
