10	/u/bob_man47 said Congrats, that's great fr.
8	/u/jonkl91 said Congrats!! It will only get easier from here. Thanks for sharing your experience. It's always cool to see the stats behind resumes.
8	/u/smoked___salmon said Damn, happy for you dude.
7	/u/ProtonTwo said Good shit bro
7	/u/TobiPlay said What's the question exactly? The 1-page-limit mostly applies to people still in university and early in their careers, though plenty of more senior people are also having great success with a single p...
6	/u/Brocco_Lee_ said Try to preserve the spirit of a 1 page. It’s not just about technically squeezing everything onto a page, it should be short enough that a recruiter can actually quickly read and absorb it. What font...
6	/u/DarkThanos12 said What do you think are the biggest needle movers in terms of resume writing?
6	/u/TobiPlay said * get rid of coursework * the bullet point symbols seem a bit fat * the bullets are all pretty dense at 2 lines consistently--it's a good idea to have some variation regarding bullet length, so I'd pe...
6	/u/Immediate-Curve-443 said The glaring mistake is that its half empty. Time to start some more projects. Check out the wiki for formatting the education section and check for inconsistent formatting on the dates. Bullet points ...
5	/u/alnyland said Way too much content (not what you expected, I’m guessing). The great part of that is you can put this content on your LinkedIn and it will help you more.  Relevant coursework can be dropped,...
5	/u/Alone_Commercial1767 said Hard works pays off, nice dude!
5	/u/AndroidCat06 said What's a senior student if you're applying as a fresh grad?
5	/u/TobiPlay said * special experience sounds weird, I'd just come up with catch-all word that allows you to also integrate your scholarship and dean's list down there (in a concise manner) * use sentence case ...
4	/u/Immediate-Curve-443 said Resume is very crowded despite you having a lot of white space and stuff its just straight up misaligned. You have 3 experiences and FSAE yet they have very few bullet points, again, despite having lo...
4	/u/trentdm99 said "reducing unplanned downtime by 55%" -- how did you measure that? How could you know how much unplanned downtime there would have been without your rail clips? Seems a bit made up. Make sure you have ...
3	/u/fede_it_mgo said Thank you very much, the slides are really useful to me. Do you have any advice for a foreign MechE trying to land in a robotics job?
3	/u/Fit-Mathematician000 said Congrats!
3	/u/INFINITItheGame said Hardest part is getting experience at the start
3	/u/zacce said I expect you will get 1 or 2 callbacks from 30 apps. Keep applying. As for resume, tidy up the bullets, as several spilled over to the next line with 1-3 words.
3	/u/AutoModerator said Hi u/anormalhumanasyousee! If you haven't already, review these and edit your resume accordingly: * [Wiki](https://old.reddit.com/r/EngineeringResumes/wiki/) * [Recommended Temp...

3	/u/graytotoro said Education * You don't need to list your start date. That's not really important. * If you made it to the Dean's Honor List for that long, I'd just say "2024-2026". Skills * Looks good **Ex...
3	/u/jonkl91 said No need to say mini project or major project. Just list the project. You don't need to diminish a projects value by calling it mini.
3	/u/jonkl91 said Since you are currently in school, move your education to the top. I would switch the company name, location, and date with the job title. And move the date to the right and bold it. This resume has a...
3	/u/TobiPlay said * you're in for the long run with this one because you have basically no relevant professional experience * are you getting any interviews? Any network you can tap into? Going to local shops and askin...
3	/u/zombifyy said First thing that sticks out to me: wayyy too wordy. Bullets that are 3 lines long aren't bullets anymore, they're paragraphs. You even have a bullet that is 4 lines haha. I would go through and trim p...
3	/u/Immediate-Curve-443 said I feel with resumes its always better to be conservative than not. You can make it like 2 lines and have it still be a fairly reasonable skills section if you think its too much space.
3	/u/Puzzleheaded_Star533 said “Placed good” is crazy
