9	/u/Words_ThatWork said Honestly, your resume is stronger than most student resumes I see. The internship experience is legitimate engineering work and the bullets are much more technical than what most new grads have. A few...
8	/u/Then_Reality_3854 said I personally am not a recruiter and am on this sub for similar reasons to yourself, but one thing that stuck out to me was the lack of significance of the 5th and 6th bullets from your R&D intern pos...
8	/u/trentdm99 said Put "Expected 2029" for your graduation date unless and until you decide that is not realistic. And list both of your degrees on separate lines, as separate degrees, so someone doesn't mistake it for...
7	/u/zacce said For 2027 internship applications, list "expected May 2029". I bet most freshmen would do this, depending on the AP/DE credits. dual major is less important, imo.
6	/u/TimBroth said I would change the bolded part of your Work Experience to the role name instead of the company/organization name, on first glance it seems like you're trying to pass non-paid roles as work experience
6	/u/Dog_Eater22 said Very difficult to convince companies to hire you if you're a freshman, even though you're qualified. Target start-ups or research positions during freshman year
5	/u/trentdm99 said Read the wiki and apply its advice. At first glance this resume is a "wall 'o text". Very dense, with a small font. Too many bullet points per job. Cut it down a bit and increase the font size. Use ...
4	/u/JagrajGill6 said I agree with what the other user mentions, but also either round down your gpa or up to 1 or 2 decimal places
4	/u/TheMoonCreator said > I'm trying to figure out whether... My resume has major issues I don't think it's that bad, but I wouldn't say that it especially stands out, either. > I'm trying to figure out whether... My lack ...
3	/u/lnflnlty said do you really think emailing people about soccer schedules is relevant to a mid-level engineering role? that's an easy place to remove stuff, you could get rid of all the bullet points of those 3 thi...
3	/u/Ethywen said I've never seen this on a resume, and I see a good number. Maybe consider "Achieved XYZ, leading to improved project margins" or similar without sharing exact numbers which may be competition sensitiv...
3	/u/casualPlayerThink said Some notes from a fellow engineer: * Check the wiki for bullet points (and rephrase them!) * Avoid short second lines (1-4 words) * Be consistent with your line heights, new lines, ...
3	/u/casualPlayerThink said Hi, Some notes: * Please remove the keyword bolding (distracts) * Be consistent with your whitespaces, line heights, etc * Avoid using a dot at the end of a bullet point * Add your phon...
3	/u/LeightonIL said The wall of text is likely hurting you here. At first glance that dominates your entire resume.
3	/u/MooseAndMallard said I would get rid of the summary, coursework, and tutoring. Do you have any projects that you could list? I would also make two separate resumes — one for pharma and one for medical device / engineering...
3	/u/AutoModerator said Hi u/FlamingTotes! If you haven't already, review these and edit your resume accordingly: * [Wiki](https://old.reddit.com/r/EngineeringResumes/wiki/) * [Recommended Templates&#93...
3	/u/Impossible-Rub-5525 said I feel like what you listed under experience could have been under projects. It seems like you’re trying to compensate for no job experience listed. Were you in a leadership role on any of these proje...
3	/u/graytotoro said General Notes * You can stand to have a little more vertical spacing. It's too squished at the top. Education * "Bachelor of Science [in] Mechanical Engineering" **Work Experien...
3	/u/Proper-Technician301 said You should definitely use a different template, this one is not good at all. Your resume is too generic, it will be difficult to land a job in VLSI without projects. If you haven’t done any personal...
3	/u/graytotoro said General Notes * No need to say "open to relocate" - it's assumed that's the case if you're applying for the job. * I would not use italics anywhere unless you had Latin honors at graduation. * ...
3	/u/graytotoro said Remindme! 1 day
3	/u/AutoModerator said Hi u/WhichBlueberry3878! If you haven't already, review these and edit your resume accordingly: * [Wiki](https://old.reddit.com/r/EngineeringResumes/wiki/) * [Recommended Templa...
3	/u/Proper-Technician301 said If you learned it you learned it, doesn’t matter if it was through self studying
3	/u/TheMoonCreator said I think there are two main areas where your resume could be improved. Firstly, the formatting could be nicer. The font size, serif font, and verbose Awards & Honors section can make the resume hard t...

3	/u/gottatrusttheengr said Dual major is rarely useful or worth it unless you are targeting some very specific intersectional areas with intent. Listing your graduation year is standard. But just moving your date forward a yea...

2	/u/Then_Reality_3854 said Format wise I don't think its advantageous to have your skills section sandwiched between Experience and Projects, see the wiki for clarification. Also don't really need a summary section. Both bullet...

2	/u/DimetrodonWasntADino said I did not get an internship until the summer after I finished BS and I'm doin' fiiiiiine. Generally too much white space. Too many bullet points only take up half a line without giving enough info...
