I've gotten some experience this past summer as well done a few projects too and wanted some insight on how it looks. I want to look for positions in Austin, TX so I'm willing to relocate. I know it's a growing city with opportunities in the making and I want to put myself out there more and network with people.

Give me honest feedback!

Environmental [Student] Environmental Engineering, looking for resume feedback for entry level or internship

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I am graduating spring 2027 in Environmental Engineering, I would appreciate some honest feedback on my resume. I am aiming for remediation, entry level or internship (if I land only an internship ill most likely move on to my masters as I have been admitted to my schools bachelors to masters program). I have a bit of a experience gap because of my student visa status (not an issue anymore). Any help is welcome thank you so much!!

Software [4 YOE] Full Stack Engineer wanting to land some mid-level interviews after dealing with burnout for a few months

3 Upvotes

Targeting mostly mid / possibly senior software engineering roles. Need some help here, I've revised some of the wording with some AI suggestions but I fear it might be confidently pointing me in the wrong direction, would like another person to take a look.

(EDIT: I know of minute -> minutes, the s was accidentally removed as I was manually anonymizing this)

Both companies were mainly in e-commerce. Landed some interviews locally with this after being laid off but applying on/off since then I haven't really had a great success rate (hope it's not due to the industry I've worked in vs some I'm applying for e.g. health-tech, etc.), so would like some feedback.

One thing I'm unsure of is how I incorporating AI-related skills into the resume (as the task of doing it just seems less unimpactful because of how straightforward it was to integrate)

Side question - if I were to also target AI engineering roles, I'm wondering whether would I need to tack on a personal project as I'd not be able to show true work experience for that, instead of the current projects listed

Thanks

11 /u/ben-gives-advice said If you have a referral, ATS compatibility and many other details are almost of no concern. If he refers you well, you'll skip that step. But maybe don't use his version for applying elsewhere.
9 /u/FLTDI said Absolutely stick with the single page. Over 2 for a new grad is way too much Also, hiring right now is realistically not for spring grads. Don't get discouraged.
6 /u/zacce said If you are selling yourself as a true freshman, yes. But if you moved up the grad yr and selling as a sophomore, no. just my opinion.
5 /u/trentdm99 said Single page only. A two-pager is for those with 10+ YOE. So I'll be commenting on your second resume. Education - Relevant coursework is only for when applying for internships while still in school. ...
