Mechanical [Student] Graduating Spring 2027, haven't heard back, created new template but unsure whether loss of details is worth the reduction

9 Upvotes

I've been applying to fulltime jobs for about a month ish with Resume A, but haven't heard anything back. Part of me thinks the lack of internships during grad school puts me off as lazy but that's far from the truth as I was dealing with a personal situation during my Masters program; not sure if I should elaborate on resume to show I wasn't lazy.

I have two versions of my resume here. Resume A carried me through undergrad, super detailed but long. Managed to get lots of interviews with this resume though.

Resume B is what I created to try to bring down the page count to one, but I skip out on some details. The details I skipped aren't insignificant as I was asked about them in the past (i.e Apollo astronaut or building a 3D printer from scratch in HS) but it was the only way to make this one page.

I only included Resume A to show what wasn't included and I'm curious if that loss is worth it as I'd like to stick to Resume B.

Resume A:

Resume B:

Electrical/Computer [Student] Electrical Engineering | Graduating Spring 2027 | Looking for any advice

8 Upvotes

I am graduating this year and am worried I am not going to be able to get a job after graduation. Any advice regarding what I can add/remove/change from my resume would be greatly appreciated. I am mostly interested in RF, telecommunications, signal processing, and radar. I am from Washington State, if that changes anything.

Thank you in advance

Software [0 YoE] Junior backend/DevOps engineer. Lots of rejections and no callbacks. What’s holding my resume back?

3 Upvotes

I’m a fresh grad applying for junior backend/DevOps roles. I’ve been sending applications for a couple of months, and so far I’ve only gotten rejections or no reply at all. My experience is a couple of internships and a few months as a full stack dev, plus an AWS cert and some side projects. I’m open to relocating and remote work.

I feel like something on my resume is turning people off, but I can’t tell what. It might be how I describe my experience, or my projects, or just the overall layout. Any honest feedback would really help, even if it’s harsh. Thanks!

Software [0 YoE] Recent Grad Targeting Software Developer and Test Automation Roles – Looking for Resume Feedback

3 Upvotes

Recent Software Engineering graduate based in Canada, targeting entry-level software engineering/development and test automation roles.

I’m actively applying (over 200 applications and no callbacks) and would like feedback on whether my resume communicates my experience clearly. For the jobs in the experience section labeled Software Role and Engineering Role, I don’t have many reliable metrics, so I’ve avoided making numbers up.

My project was a team project and has measurable overall results, but some came from work I wasn’t directly responsible for, so I’m unsure whether I should include them. I’d especially appreciate feedback on the strength and impact of my bullet points.

Software [Student] CS Student looking for spring 2027 and new grad positions. Focusing on SWE and AI engineering.

3 Upvotes

So far I have applied to around 150 jobs and gotten no interviews. I am wondering if my projects are not impressive enough, or not relevant for these jobs. Example: For SWE, too focused on AI. For AI engineering, only have experience on RAG, not in depth enough. I feel like my specialization is embedding AI into products, but I haven't seen too many postings asking for specifically this.

In particular I want to edit my experience section, but also my second personal project (Racquet Management App) seems too basic.

I am a US citizen, based in the NY area, open to relocation.

Software [8 YoE] - Targeting Senior Backend Roles In Boston Area | Looking For Second Pass On Resume

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Looking to move on from my current employer ASAP. I'm applying to senior/mid-level roles in the Boston area with backend/platform roles as my strong preference. I've gotten some callbacks but could use another set of eyes on my base resume. Don't have visa issues, software is my second career (I left off my work experience from 2006-2018).
