I will be graduating in spring 2023 and have started applying for jobs starting as a new grad. I am comfortable with most of the difficult medium questions in leetcode and I believe I can get through the technical interviews. However, I am gettjng rejected automatically right after applying. So I think something is wrong with my resume. Everything in the resume is the same except my personal information. Any feedback is appreciated.
Thank you for this. I have been reaching out to recruiters, however out of probably the 50 so far, only 5 have replied and all of them told me they were hiring for other positions and that I should check out the careers page. So, nothing is wrong with my resume, I am just getting lost in the sea of people then right?
Your resume is good. Recruiters receive too many applications, especially big and known companies.
Can you not ask Plasma to hire you next year?
Haha I am new to blind, I did not know. Well anyways, they don’t pay junior devs a lot and I am an international student, so most smaller companies including Plasma are hesitant to sponsor me. It’s not a problem in the big companies though.
You list .net as a technology but not c# as a language? Also fix the spacing missing from after the commas on the technology line.
Well so while I have worked with C#, it has only been on the internship for about 2 months and my personal project which again is the same time. So while I am decent at it, I am not confident enough in it to be questioned thoroughly hence missing from the language section.
Thanks for the suggestion
I'd spend more time on each employer describing your contributions and accomplishments along with the impact. Right now it reads like, "this is the tech I used" but if I were to evaluate your resume, I'd still have no idea about who you are.
Honestly, your resume is not much different from a typical new grad resume. There are just so many CS graduates right now because everybody wants to make the big bucks. To land a job, I would recommend asking friends & family for a referral. Or find someone online who can refer you. I also recommend reaching out to your college professors. Make a list of classes that were especially enjoyable to you and that you did well on. Then ask the professor to refer you or ask them if they know a company they can recommend and can refer you. This is how I got my first job in tech after college
You can also DM recruiters on LinkedIn. Send them InMails (get LinkedIn premium). I DM’d about 15 Apple recruiters, two responded, one helped me get a job here. Before Apple I was working at a less known company and had a hard time applying for other jobs with my resume
