Finally someone giving good advice. All these stupid resume youtubers are telling people to use two column templates that are auto generated from sites.
I've worked in cyber security for almost a decade. I'm about to finish my software development degree. I can see how I can use some of the advice in your video to make a resume, but what aspects of my previous work should I focus on including? Familiarity with enterprise systems? Proficiency with multiple operating systems?
I think it really depends on what job you are applying to. It might be easier to get a job if you are familiar with the systems they use. As for OSes, proficieny with linux is highy desirable but I would say it is mostly expected for developers.
I essentially *_JUST_* started my CS program at my school (first full semester), and I really don't have any solid coding or computer experience prior to my Intro to Programming class, aside from coding very simple Python and C++ programs. Should I squeeze the life out of my resume and "create" experience by scraping up any remotely transferable skills from previous jobs, plus the novice programming projects, or should I generalize my resume? Right now, since I'm basically doing a degree shift with no prior work or school experience, I will just be developing this newly targeted resume for events like hackathons internship opportunities. Thanks for the video and any advice you could give.
I'd say if you're targetting CS opportunities, then include any coding projects you do have along with previous jobs that might showcase some unique transferable skills. And then in the meantime, really focus on learning more on your own time and working on some larger more unique projects. It might be difficult to get many opportunities in your first summer, but you have a TON of time before your second summer to work on some super impressive projects and build a killer resume. Hope this helps!
The reason I haven't provided a template is because there are many existing Latex resume templates do a far better job than I would and the visuals of a resume are often a matter of personal preference!
I'm a student studying computer science in my country and I don't do very well so I am looking to quit college and get a full time job in web development. Should I write on my resume that I'm a student in computer science? I see the advantages but I also think that the employer will be like "he's gonna want a flexible job so he can study or go to college" which I'm not going to do anymore once I get the job :)))
Hey! Howestly, it's tough to say, I don't know how to country where you are from works. In general here, it is much easier to get a job with a computer science degree and so although that's not what you want to here, I would recommend trying very hard to finish it. However, you can also try to get an internship and then convert that internship into an immediate full time job, if the employer is willing to hire you with no degree. Best of luck to you!
You have an example of this type of resume just curious cuz I'm trying to write one.. But I'll try my best... But you have any tips on networking in the Seattle WA area... Could really use a helpful push in the right direction lol.. I'm in a unique situation though
@@NitrixTech yes, I attend Colorado Technical University, sutding for a BSIT with a concentration and software systems engineering.. Grad date 01!2023..
Not really, I would say people are more interested in frameworks nowadays. Java is a backend language and front-end is typically written in a framework like react.
I am a freshman and I have 16 AP credit for Math and Physics. Should I write this in my resume for freshman summer internship? Will it be helpful for impressing recruiters?
From my personal experience, it is unlikely to impress recruiters since it is not very tangible knowledge, or applicable to very many jobs, unless it's some sort of research positron
With college resumes, you can focus more on highschool curriculars and less on actual work, since it is not expected that you have work experience. Tbh, I haven't written a college application resume in a very long time :P
I want to apply for a web development position, do you think I should add to my resume projects of artificial intelligence, operating systems and other non-web development related courses?
Usually, a lot of the internships I'm applying for are in the Summer. I currently have experience with mobile development (android, created a lot of apps), Java (not complete data structures, but sorting), some C, and some hackathons. I also will be learning C++, currently learning HTML/CSS (Javascript after), and will be trying to learn data structures. (by the start of the summer). Do you have any recommendations for whether I should include stuff I haven't learned in my resume? I know I will have these done by the summer. I want to include it, but resume/applications are due sometime this Fall, and I'm not completely finished.
Honestly depends on the item but in general, people won't care if you know 10 languages but rather how well you know your best one! It's hard to describe projects in detail which you haven't created yet, but if you're working on it and will have it done, I think it's fine
@@NitrixTech thanks! Last question, some internships you must apply for right now and it will be in the summer. Do you know when those interviews usually are?
@@v9318 Yes, usually the interviews are end of this year/early next year and you get your offer well before the internship starts. However, sometimes they continue hiring on a rolling basis all the way into the spring of next year. You can take a look at my amazon internship video, but I did the application in september and didn't interview until the later in the following year!
Say you are in your last semester in school with few side projects. Would it be worth pumping out many different semi-simple projects to beef up that section or would it be better to focus on fewer, more complex projects?
I definitely think fewer more complex projects personally! I'd be looking for a differentiating factor and that would usually be a more involved project
I think it depends on what you're doing now. If you've done a lot of stuff since then, then don't bother. If you're just coming off a gap, then it might be helpful to provide clarification. I would stay away from making it sound like an excuse if possible! Hope that's helpful :)
Hi buddy. Just wanna know 3 qst. 1st. If a little part of my resume is exceeding 1st page and going to 2nd page can I resize the spaces between resume a bit like 8 or may be 6 if it was at 10. Will it affect the ats score of my resume. There are lots of way to add margin to the resume section. Are all those methods equally acceptable by ats. 3rd can I give a different colour to each heading of my resume.
Can I mention my self-employed experience (of running my own cafe) for my engineering internship resume? I know this is completely not related to my current major, but I think I can express my leadership/management skills. what do you think about this? (oh, and if I put this experience on my resume, then people may realise my gap years... Will it be bad?)
I think it depends on the role you're applying for but any smaller company which needs people with lots of initiative will love this. In general, I think it's a very unique experience, good to put on unless you have something really strong and engineering related to take its place!
I do have side projects but i think they're a little bit sus 😳😂 and i want to apply for Google, should i put them ? + Do you want to know what are my side projects so you can understand why i think they are sus :)
@@NitrixTech Because for example, there's one of my projects, where i do scraping Instagram, and scraping isn't allowed i think. There's also another project where i use a python library to download TH-cam video from given link (I think downloading TH-cam videos isn't allowed + I'm applying for big company like Google) But my other projects are good i think ✅
I think it really depends on the company and your situation. Many modern tech companies, especially large ones prefer no cover letter as they don't have time to read through them. Older, more traditional companies might expect a cover letter. If you have something interesting to say, or you need space to explain a gap in your resume (for example, you need to explain why you're a great candidate even though you're missing one of the qualifications), then a cover letter might be very useful. But if you plan to simply restate what's on your resume, it might be best to omit it.

I was getting so overwhelmed with all the advice online... This video was concise and contained everything I needed to know. Thanks very much!
You're very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you thank you thank you for making me realize that my resume can be written in LaTex
Glad I could help!
Great advice! I remember resumes before getting experience, personal projects and related groups in school help!
Yeah, absolutely!!
just started my second year into my cs degree and this video simplified everything
Same here, this will help out a lot
The respect I have for maintaining the promise of responding to all comment's even 2 years later
Even though I'm a bit late sometimes, I think everyone who took the time to watch and react to my video deserves a response from me!
I try to search what's the meaning of resume cause my sister is struggling to create one. I'm 11 and I don't understand what this is
A resume is a document that allows you to summarize your achievements when applying for a job :)
You're a nice sibling.
Finally someone giving good advice. All these stupid resume youtubers are telling people to use two column templates that are auto generated from sites.
Thanks, and yes I agree and also feel like it's difficult to find simple, concrete advice for this topic
You make me feel okay with having no experience
Everyone has no experience before they get experience
awesome content.. thanks my dude
thanks man help a lot
Very helpful. Thank you !
thanks for a really helpful video! about to apply for my first internship, this helped heaps with my CV!!
Really glad you found it helpful!!
I appreciate this video!

Hey do you have a linked in to connect?
Great Video! really helped me gather all my crucial information.
Amazing, glad it was helpful!
Should I include relevant projects if they are not as impressive?
If you dont industry experience, list your best projects and work on adding better ones in the meantime!
I just don't understand why nobody has links to a template
Your objective statement needs a bit of rewording. Grammatically, it's not sound.
Other than that, great video.
Nice advice!
Thanks!!
Always looking forward to ur vids. Keep it up fam
Thanks!! Will do :)
Welcome back!
Ayy thanks!
Also what of if you haven’t worked anywhere
I essentially *_JUST_* started my CS program at my school (first full semester), and I really don't have any solid coding or computer experience prior to my Intro to Programming class, aside from coding very simple Python and C++ programs.

What if you dont have any projects yet either?
can you please provide any sample resume format for undergraduate computer science and engineering students?
The reason I haven't provided a template is because there are many existing Latex resume templates do a far better job than I would and the visuals of a resume are often a matter of personal preference!
Should I include a awards/accomplishment section? They're not really relevant in my case
This is definitely an optional section. If it is not too relevant to you, it's definitely OK to exclude it!

Networking is always tough. It really depends where you're at, are you a college student?
@@NitrixTech yes, I attend Colorado Technical University, sutding for a BSIT with a concentration and software systems engineering.. Grad date 01!2023..
What should i mention me, i know css , html , javascript and java, is front end java developer is a correct word for me ?
Not really, I would say people are more interested in frameworks nowadays. Java is a backend language and front-end is typically written in a framework like react.
can you give us the template please?
i know c c++ and little bit html css
have used cheat engine vscode blender photoshop
As an international student I want to give my resume to part time job recruiters so what should I write in it...pls guide
I don't think it will be too different from the advice in the video for international students :)
I am a freshman and I have 16 AP credit for Math and Physics. Should I write this in my resume for freshman summer internship?
Will it be helpful for impressing recruiters?
From my personal experience, it is unlikely to impress recruiters since it is not very tangible knowledge, or applicable to very many jobs, unless it's some sort of research positron
if we have participated in a hackathon can we add it ..or it is like only if we have won a price we are supposed to add to the resume
CN I get the link to the latex to build my resume!
Hiiii what of if you need the resume for college application
With college resumes, you can focus more on highschool curriculars and less on actual work, since it is not expected that you have work experience. Tbh, I haven't written a college application resume in a very long time :P
@@NitrixTech okay thank you
I want to apply for a web development position, do you think I should add to my resume projects of artificial intelligence, operating systems and other non-web development related courses?
I think the projects are defintely useful! The non related courses maybe not so much but you can include them if you have more space!
Usually, a lot of the internships I'm applying for are in the Summer.
I currently have experience with mobile development (android, created a lot of apps), Java (not complete data structures, but sorting), some C, and some hackathons.

In what section do you think I should list my certifications?
I think education section could be a good place to list it
Hey! May I ask what university you attended?
I attended University of Toronto!
Thank you for your video! I took two gap years after hs where I didn't do much, should I justify them on my resume?
I think it depends on what you're doing now. If you've done a lot of stuff since then, then don't bother. If you're just coming off a gap, then it might be helpful to provide clarification. I would stay away from making it sound like an excuse if possible! Hope that's helpful :)
Why would my resume be 2 pages long if I don't have experience
I think it shouldn't but I guess some people like that approach
Should I mention I'm bilingual?
I think it's a fine thing to mention but not super crucial unless it's required for the role!
do you have a sample resume
Hi buddy. Just wanna know 3 qst.
1st. If a little part of my resume is exceeding 1st page and going to 2nd page can I resize the spaces between resume a bit like 8 or may be 6 if it was at 10. Will it affect the ats score of my resume.
There are lots of way to add margin to the resume section. Are all those methods equally acceptable by ats.
3rd can I give a different colour to each heading of my resume.
How can I get by and not spend 3 dollars to make a resume on the same website ?
There is a free tier for personal projects so you should be fine to use it without paying anything!
Can I mention my self-employed experience (of running my own cafe) for my engineering internship resume? I know this is completely not related to my current major, but I think I can express my leadership/management skills. what do you think about this? (oh, and if I put this experience on my resume, then people may realise my gap years... Will it be bad?)

+ Do you want to know what are my side projects so you can understand why i think they are sus :)
I mean you've made me curious at this point lol
@@NitrixTech Because for example, there's one of my projects, where i do scraping Instagram, and scraping isn't allowed i think.
There's also another project where i use a python library to download TH-cam video from given link (I think downloading TH-cam videos isn't allowed + I'm applying for big company like Google)
But my other projects are good i think ✅
Example resume link bro
Could I volunteered experience?
Yup totally fine to put volunteered experience, and if it's related to the job, it's a huge plus.
What are you views on cover letters?
I think it really depends on the company and your situation. Many modern tech companies, especially large ones prefer no cover letter as they don't have time to read through them. Older, more traditional companies might expect a cover letter. If you have something interesting to say, or you need space to explain a gap in your resume (for example, you need to explain why you're a great candidate even though you're missing one of the qualifications), then a cover letter might be very useful. But if you plan to simply restate what's on your resume, it might be best to omit it.
If I were to send you my resume would you be able to just roast it and tell me what I can do to make it better 😅.
That moment when people with 3 page resumes tell you you are wrong lmfao
loool
