Hi, for my last job, I was hired by a big tech to lead a post m&a integration for one of their subsidiaries. I began as their tech lead and basically head of engineering of the company, I eventually took up work of EM but never got the official title. Because the company had a 14-year-old legacy codebase, there were lots of improvements to make to help with the business. With what I achieved there, I believe my next role should be EM positions. Hope to get some comments on my experience and what roles I should apply next.

About to be a year since I graduated. Been just working on projects, but losing hope. Not sure. Thought my resume was pretty good, but maybe missing something. Applied to like 400 jobs, got like 10 interviews. Maybe there's something wrong with my resume, or I'm just not really sure at this point.

Hello community,

I'm looking for feedback on the above CV.

I am applying for full-remote only, full-stack engineering positions, in Italy first but also anywhere in the EU. I am looking for contract/freelance positions, preferably full-time and long-term.

This resume is the result of applying as many of the tips and principles in the wiki and linked resources on this subreddit (I sure probably missed some). It was initially a 2-pager, and I had to remove a few things and tighten up the formatting to bring it down to 1 page.

Specifically:

- I removed a short overview at the top, which stated: "Full-stack software engineer with over 4 years of experience, specialized in AI-powered web platforms, scalable backend systems, and modern product development. Experienced in designing and deploying production software across multiple domains, including education, e-commerce, and electric mobility, working on large-scale platforms serving tens of thousands of active users."

- I removed a section at the end "Theses & Publications", which included a paper I co-authored, a BSc thesis I co-supervised, and my BSc and MSc theses. I figured the theses were useless as they were implied by the degrees (although both theses were software engineering related), the only cool thing would be the paper and maybe the co-supervised thesis, but I just couldn't fit them in one page.

Even after the changes, I still have a gut feeling that the CV may kind of feel cluttered (having a 2-pager also gave the advantage of being able to use slightly bigger text font and more spacing in between sections and lines).

A few specific points I'm unsure about (but you're welcome to critique others too):

- there are a lot of overlapping job experiences - that's because I work as a freelance, but I am not sure whether that could feel confusing to a recruiter reading the CV

- I am not sure about that fact that a position in a university is my first listed job experience (maybe it's not taken as seriously as a position in a startup or something); I am considering moving the second and third experiences up the list, but then that'd break the chronological order that is otherwise in place

I'll be glad and grateful to hear any of your feedback / thoughts.

I’m a Computer Engineering student at Brazil’s top university and currently doing CUDA/kernel optimization work at an AI startup. I’m interested in systems/backend/ML systems/GPU engineering.

I know sponsorship is a huge barrier, so I wanted honest feedback on whether my resume is realistically competitive for US/Canada internships or entry-level roles.

Hi all, I've been struggling with getting any real progress finding an internship. The one internship I did do (which is on my resume) was unpaid and basically completely set up through my university. I think I have a fair amount of practical experience and I also think I interview pretty well. This year, I've only had 2 engineering-related interviews. I didn't pass the to the second round in one and I'm currently waiting to hear back from a co-op opportunity. I also did get referred for the NASA Pathways, but never got anything from the hiring managers which is discouraging. I'm open to any and all suggestions on what I should improve here. I have some music related work experience that I haven't listed on here, along with another current project (Human Exploration Rover Challenge). Thanks!

This resume that I've posted isn't the one I used for applying for internships, its an improved (I hope) version of that one, but its still fairly close to it. I applied for 100+ internships in aerospace, mechanical, and manufacturing positions and got 0 interviews.

I'm not 100% what it is that caused me to not get any interviews (lack of experience, bad resume, maybe low gpa), but I am trying to not repeat that.

I am pretty sure I don't have any more chances of landing anything this summer so I'm just trying to prepare for applying to stuff for next summer or maybe even this fall.

Hi everyone,

I’m a 3rd-year Electrical/Electronics Engineering student based in Lagos, Nigeria. I have internship experience in embedded systems at local startups. I’m currently targeting entry-level roles in RTL Design and Verification.

I’m actively applying to remote positions as well as international opportunities (particularly with semiconductor companies like TSMC). I’m fully willing to relocate.

My resume is tailored for RTL Design/Verification roles, but I haven’t received any interviews yet despite consistent applications. I would greatly appreciate detailed feedback on the entire resume — especially the strength of my project descriptions, bullet points, layout, ATS compatibility, and how effectively it presents my skills for RTL/Verification positions.

I’d also welcome suggestions on better ways to highlight my embedded systems internship and relevant academic projects, plus any missing keywords that are important in this field.

Thank you in advance for your time and honest reviews!

I have had 6 final round interviews for various hardware engineering positions at the entry level, all 6 rejections. One company even cancelled my position a day before I was meant to get an offer letter.

I am looking at any entry-level EE jobs, focusing on hardware design. Preferably, these would be in the Midwest area between Chicago and Pittsburgh, but anywhere in the US is good. I cannot get a job with the firm I co-oped with since they are moving all hiring to Europe and Mexico for the next few years.

I am looking for feedback both on my resume and on how I can find better positions that will actually hire me and not jerk me around when they already have internal candidates lined up. I have already asked everyone I know for help, and since most of my family and friends are not engineers, and my professors and classmates are out of options, I am really stuck both on the LinkedIn spam and the networking side. Any advice is appreciated.

Resume - Please let me know if Reddit automatically deletes it. That has been happening for some reason

I have recently started looking for positions as a Machine Learning Operations engineer not specific to the actual creation of ML models. I have experience mostly on the infrastructure side. Platform Engineer, ML Ops, AWS jobs with a data/ml/ai twist are the targeted role.

I have been applying to remote and hybrid roles in the United States.

This resume is a summarized version of a resume that previously included my software engineering experience going back to the mid 2000s.

Does this resume speak to this position, I am very experienced in this but having a hard time getting the resume noticed.

I have not yet used this resume to apply for jobs, I'm looking for critique. I followed the suggestions in the links presented in this subreddit.

I have been working remotely for the past 15 years for companies in Michigan and Chicago. I'm willing to relocate to Chicago for the right opportunity. I'm an American citizen applying for roles in America.

I am mainly looking to get internships the next round for summer after my sophomore year. I want a decent resume going into it format-wise. Content-wise, I know it’s not the best, but I am for sure going to improve it as much as humanly possible! I preferably would want to work/intern with the government somehow if that does anything.

My school's career center said they liked this resume. I tried to follow the methods in the wiki with the bullet points, but in all honesty I don't know how to do them correctly, I'm not much a writer. I don't know if the high school is helping me or hurting me at all. I know connections are everything, but try as I might I wasn't able to find anyone - of the two people I have connections with in the industry, one said and i quote "For you? Not a chance. Sorry", and the other is, well... the Homer Simpson of her workplace. I'm not really targeting much of anything, just trying to get my foot in the door over this summer. I'm only applying to local and remote jobs, but I'm in a major metropolitan area, so that should be fine. I do not have a driver's license, so it has to be something I can get to with public transit, but there's a very wide area that I can reach with that so I don't think it's too much an issue, aside from certain jobs wanting drivers. I just really need help with this, I'm getting really desperate to have something to do this summer and to contribute some money to my household.

My current job has an immense workload, and it's my first official engineering job, so I'm trying to put my resume back out there. The railway industry is fairly dynamic but I'm trying not to get pigeonholed in one industry.

Prior to being an engineer I was an automotive technician, I went back to school and shifted out of that industry, but the technician experience has come in handy in many situations, I just don't have the room to list it all on one page.

I've received critique on my resume from this sub in the past and had quite a bit of success, so I'm looking to make any additional changes and polish it.

I realize the job market and the process of applying to jobs has changed significantly over the past few years, so I'm open to any alterations in that sense as well.

Hi all,

Appreciate all the feedback on my previous resume post.

I’ve completely overhauled my resume based on the wiki and the advice I received last time.

Any further feedback, tweaks, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I also have a separate project portfolio document. Do you think I should add 1–2 projects directly into the resume to make it feel a bit fuller, or is it fine as it is?

Thanks in advance.

As I said in the title, I graduated from Computer Engineering about 1.5 years ago, and am currently enrolled for my masters in Computer Science (although I probably won't be able to finish since I can't afford tuition and class expenses). I didn't get any internships during my undergrad, but I was (and am) working two jobs to pay for school- one as a barista, and one as a tutor. I also wasn't part of any clubs.

I struggled to find anything after graduating. All of my job applications were either ghosted or denied outright. Since I had to start paying back my student loans, I figured the best thing I could do for myself after graduating was continue into my masters so I could look for internships. That plan has gone horribly as I am now deep in student debt for my masters, and haven't had a single interview.

I've applied to entry-level and internship postings for a variety of interests including embedded systems design, automation, software, hardware design, and mechatronics. As my interests lie in video game design and programming, I also applied for programming, game design, systems, and level design interships and entry-level positions (which also fell flat). I've tried listing the projects that I work on outside of classwork, but my personal projects are rarely if ever engineering related. I have had two referrals for Rovisys and Duke Energy respectively- both of which were rejected within the week.

I hope this background context is sufficient, and I appreciate anyone willing to critique my resume.

I recently started applying for jobs a couple months ago and since then I have not gotten a single interview.

During the early months of my current role (Process Engineer), I applied to many positions while leaving the role out of my resume due to lack of experience at the time. However, I was getting interviews at least once a month without that first big career role. I recently decided to pick it up again in search for growth opportunities and started including the role in my resume but now I feel like my resume has somehow become less effective? I do think my skills section does need some work but I'm surprised the interviews have not come easier this time around thinking my foot was in the door. I apply to any job in aerospace, in the US, I can find within my experiences at about 5-10 positions a week (which is probably not a lot I just don't have that type of time at the moment) in a company's career page.

Happy to hear any feedback.

I am currently applying for backend software engineering roles in the United States, primarily focused on Java/Spring Boot and distributed systems. I am on OPT with STEM extension available.

Over the last 10 months, I have submitted 8000+ applications across various platforms, sent 50+ networking emails, and received multiple referrals. Despite this effort, I have received 1 interview (Google), which I did not clear past the second round.

I am applying to both entry-level and 2+ YoE backend roles and would appreciate guidance on whether my resume is effectively communicating my experience and technical depth.

I would also appreciate feedback on what may be limiting my response rate given the scale of applications and whether my positioning (experience level, skills, or structure) may be an issue.

Repost after fixing some of the issues mentioned in the Wiki.

I'm a recent MS Computer Science graduate currently working as a full-stack Software Engineer at a university research lab. I have 3 years of full-time industry experience prior to grad school in enterprise software and data systems.

I'm targeting Software Engineer and AI Engineer roles, new grad, early career, and mid-level positions (up to 3 years of experience required). I'm open to all company sizes, big tech, mid-size, and startups, and am willing to relocate anywhere in the US.

I've submitted 800 to 1,000+ applications and have received just a single callback. I'm an international student on OPT/F-1 visa.

I'm looking for honest, critical feedback on my resume. I suspect the issue may be in how I'm framing my experience, the structure/formatting, or ATS parsing, but I genuinely don't know what's killing my chances at even the screening stage. Any feedback is welcome.
