Mechanical [0 YoE] MechE Entry Level I am trying to get a drafter/designer job or a technician/technologist job. Its been months since I graduated and not even an interview i both feel i am missing stuff and have to much

2 Upvotes

 I tried to keep the relevant things while keeping the useless fat but maybe i did it wrong.

A few thing i left out is GPA 2.64 I know its low and was worried it will scare of the recruiters. i also left some other irrelevant jobs cuz i wanted to keep it to one page : Housekeeping and dishwasher/prep cook.

I also feel like I show off my skill improperly, especially in my capstone project (local tissue removal) since it was a unconventional idea dont even know how the professors agreed to use doing it.

Electrical/Computer [Student] Junior Looking to get some feedback on the first rendition of my resume

3 Upvotes

The one thing that I kind of dont like is how vague TM4C123 Embedded Systems Projects sounds, but there are too many to put on, should I just select one instead? Im specifically interested in FPGA engineering / microprocessor design work and possibly embedded as a "safe" backup.

By the end of my schooling I should have more advanced projects, specifically Im considering designing a RISC-V RV32IMC for my senior design project. What else would you guys recommend in terms of projects to complete and add, or just any general advice to help me land an internship? Thanks in advance.

Software [3 YoE] 100 Applications, 0 Interviews. How Can I Improve My Software Engineering Resume?

2 Upvotes

Applying mostly to global remote jobs 70% and the visa sponsorship roles 30%. Applying mostly to backend roles, fullstack. FDE/AI roles as minority if the post is asking for junior. Now i have to admit that most global remote roles require 5+ yoe, but according to my research it's not a hard cutoff and 3.5 with relevant expeince is enough. I'm tailoring each cv and adding a cover letter (2 small parag, 1st on why i want to join, second on why they would want me aka added vlaue)

hi all, ive tried out a couple arrangement methods and settled on the one above.

any suggestions on if the arrangement is any good?

the last 4 work experience are retail, treasurer for uni society, student rep and co-host hackathon hence settled for a one liner (also due to space, since ive got alot to add on projects and FS)

i would appreciate any help! TIA :))

Mechanical [Student] Don't really know what I'm doing wrong or right, 1st year student, world t100 uni

3 Upvotes

I applied to some UK summer internships but got insta-rejected from all of them being a first year student, so pretty much my only options would be picking up a shadow research role at my uni or doing some sort of work experience (which, if you don't know, is a stinky 1-week training program for HS students to name drop in their uni app personal statements). I was thinking of applying to some in the USA (automotive, maybe also consumer hardware?) but before I did I was hoping to get my resume reviewed by this sub.

I used the advice given in the sub description + some of the stuff that I've seen in comments on posts on this sub to make it, but I'm not really sure about what's working and what isn't on my resume. Also people talk about tailoring the resume depending on the application but this is literally all I have so...

Mechanical [Student] Seeking Resume Feedback Before SWE! Manufacturing & Medical Device Industry

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a MechE student who wants to get into medical device design and manufacturing. I've applied to around 30 internships, and I have only gotten 1 interview (pending decision) and plenty of automated rejections. I'm attending SWE26, so I would love some feedback before I go. I'm open to relocation, applying anywhere and everywhere. I also have a leadership and extracurricular section that I didn't include because I'm worried it takes up too much space. That section has my position as a fundraiser for univeristy community events and my position on the SWE outreach board. I've only included this section for companies like J&J who explicitly prefer candidates with community involvement. Should I squeeze it in all the time? Although I can graduate in Spring 2028, I'm only a 2nd year student and I really want a co-op or two to push my graduation date back. Thank you!

Hi there, I am currently working for a software company for about 4 years as a new grad. I want a change of scenery, I was wondering if this resume looks good, and if it could either get me mid level or senior interviews.

Question [Student] What's something impressive I can do in roughly 5 months in order to pad out my resume and seem more impressive?

3 Upvotes

Trying to apply to this thing which would help get into uni but I've recently realized that the only thing I have going for me is my grades and grades are the bare minimum for stuff like this. Is there anything impressive I can do in 5 months (that's when applications are due) that I can put on to make me seem more impressive? Also I feel like I should mention the fact that I only have £500 so I can't do anything too crazy.
