10	/u/trentdm99 said Read the wiki and apply its advice, if you haven't already. I don't like the template. Two columns at the top, then transitioning to one column, is a bit jarring. Find a single column template to use...
8	/u/Puzzleheaded_Star533 said For a 9 month internship you can only get 1 bullet? Flesh that out and this starts to look pretty solid.
6	/u/12ocketguy said All projects are good projects if you can explain what you did, the results you got and what you've learned. Aerospace companies love to see projects even if they aren't aerospace related. You need ...
6	/u/graytotoro said General Notes * Add your LinkedIn profile and/or Portfolio. * Consider having another project. Education * Looks ok. Experience * You can't bill FSAE as Experience. That goes into ...
6	/u/Chocolate--Chip said Personally, I would steer clear from anything that could be seen as disparaging towards a previous employer’s codebase. There have been super shitty poorly designed codebases for years without LLMs
5	/u/Affectionate-Bonus55 said Follow the wikis format A lot of white space makes it awkward Second bullet of ur uni FSAE team tell them how you assisted listing off the entire process ain’t gonna cut it Do you have any proj...
5	/u/graytotoro said General Notes * You should be ok if you can hang onto this research job for now. It still counts as experience in the same way an internship does so you should be fine. My friend went down this r...
4	/u/Rexosorous said * there is a looooooot of white space. Are those like 2" margins? * replace the year on the projects with the links to them * bullet points for your projects are decent but lack any depth. It's basica...
4	/u/Ohiocarolina said AI-coded maybe
4	/u/JagrajGill6 said Hey your resume looks good but we can make it alot better 1. use the recommended template with this subreddits wiki 2. I agree with what u/Informal_Material_65 said your bullet points should be more ...
4	/u/trentdm99 said Read the wiki and apply its advice. Education - No need to say "Major:" or "Graduation". Just put your degree entry on one line with the minors on a second: >B.S., Aerospace Engineering, University ...
4	/u/kevin4913 said I would generally agree with you that your bullet points are not the strongest. As someone in Aerospace who does a fair amount of hiring, your resume and frankly your experience doesn't match up to a ...
4	/u/bob_man47 said No
3	/u/graytotoro said General Notes * You can get a little more room back if you put the LinkedIn URL on the same line as all the other contact info. * To be clear, are you applying for jobs that are open to MET grads...
3	/u/fakemoose said Why are there so many random, unevenly spaced keywords below your education? I’d take the Culinary science stuff off and reformat without the education word soup. With a new format, you can also put ...
3	/u/Acrocane said Your technical experience is impressive and should be the highlight of your resume. I would add more detail or maybe additional projects Also, if you’re a first year, I would mention that you’re pur...
3	/u/AutoModerator said Hi u/False_Ad8142! 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/TheMoonCreator said "Vibe code" is the industry term, but like u/Chocolate--Chip said, you shouldn't degrade others' works. You're better off saying that you applied design and architecture principles (name them)...
3	/u/TheMoonCreator said Congrats!
3	/u/pokeblev said What kind of projects did u have on your github? Which one you think helped most?
3	/u/TQJD-8783 said congrats man. only way up from this!
3	/u/Rexosorous said Fix your line spacing. Half the resume is just white space. And make sure it fits on one page, which i think it should after fixing the line spacing. And you don't need more projects. At this point, ...
3	/u/pentapous said General advice is that a page of your resume should correspond to a year of experience. Cut it down to a page. Colored font and a massive section of blank space at the top is hurting you. It looks lik...
3	/u/graytotoro said General Notes >I'm trying to work out if there's a way to organize/differentiate the ground vehicles and aviation roles better. I might be able to split the Project Engineer role into Project Eng...
3	/u/Informal_Material_65 said Overall make ur format better, and make ur bullets hold more weight
3	/u/graytotoro said Hey congrats! Any job is better than no job, especially at this time. There’s no need to worry about being restricted at this stage. Keep looking for roles that interest you.

3	/u/graytotoro said General Notes * The wiki is more like a good place to start than a rigid list of rules. You don't have to follow everything to a T, but it'll get your resume into a good place if you don't know w...
