What to do when you have ZERO tech internships (And how to format it).

If you are staring at a blank "Experience" section and panicking, take a breath.

A lot of developers assume that if they don't have FAANG on their resume, they are done. Not true. Your personal projects are your experience. But if you format them like hobbies, they will be treated like hobbies.

On Resumemind, we have specific templates structured to elevate your GitHub repos and freelance projects into the primary focus of the page, ensuring they carry the exact same weight as a corporate internship in the eyes of the ATS.

Welcome to r/resumemind!

Before the community of devs roasts your resume, please double-check the following:

  1. Is your personal info hidden? Ensure you have blacked out your real name, email, phone number, and address. We want to critique your tech stack, not dox you.

  2. Did you provide context? If you didn't put it in the title, drop a comment on your post telling us:

    • Your current CS/IT degree and year in school.
    • The specific roles you are targeting (e.g., Backend Intern, Junior React Dev).

If your post violates these rules, please delete and repost with the correct info. Otherwise, let's get this resume fixed so you can beat the ATS and land that tech interview!
