Hey guys, I’m currently wrapping up my undergrad in CS and really want to leave school with the best offer I can get. I’m fascinated by distributed systems and blockchain which I’m trying to expand on. I’d also like to get into FinTech, so I tried to gear the resume towards that. Mostly been looking at software dev/security roles atm. Tell me what you think and don’t hold back! #engineering #software #swe #fintech
too many "skills", just put the ones you are most familiar with and tailor them to be relevant to the position. don't put like 30 at once, especially as a new grad
That makes sense
absolutely agree. I typically like to list the programming languages / frameworks I know in descending order of how good I am at them and write a Basics / Advanced / Professional rating next to them
I doubt you know all of these languages. In interviews, we are looking for people who demonstrate ability to solve problems. I would say shorten your skill and rated courses list. Write precisely few languages and framework that you know inside out and can answer if questions are asked.
Writing 25 languages could bite him during interviews, but should help with automated shortlisting.
“VirtualBox” really?
People put MS Office
@IBM Hey!
Apparently you have more skills than I do. How proficient are you really at all of those?
Read the first sentence on the wiki page that's it
I definitely don’t know some as well as others, but have general experience with them all since I work on a variety of apps at my current internship
I’m definitely gonna thin the herd though
Agile lol
Looks like an advertisement on a wall poster
?
Looks like a billboard with all the facilities you offer. Instead of putting all those words and courses like that, expand your projects and work experience section and embed these words in sentences.
I'll prob be called racist for this, but somehow I've seen resumes with such long skill lists more often from Indians.
I’m not Indian if it helps 🤷🏻♂️
ok good to know 😊. I gotta admit my sample size was probably only 70 resumes or so in the past years.
json as a skill huh
Fair enough 😂
My Co worker has never used json nor does he understand how to "use" it, I'd much rather have someone who does working beside me 😂
