Tell something about what you've worked on in classes instead.
Not enough HR tags. You did some shit with c, tack visual studio there, if you used some other toolchain, tell about it. You simulates circuits in spice. Into the resume it goes. You might have used some CAD you meenies use. Put it in. HR literally search these things and select resumes that get many matches. Look at >>47412526 he did it right, the whole thing shines with tags, impossible to read but it will be a match for anything.
And do something with that unsightly list of classes you took, these are not course highlights.
In its current form it's not going to do anything.

Maybe I was a little too mean, but seriously, a resume is to get an interview, not the job. It probably by far the best looking resume here, but I've seen far too many employers who make untrue assumptions based on the fact they have to flip over a page. They assume you are full of yourself, or incompetent. Their resume isn't that long, so how "dare" you have a longer one.

Maybe this is just in the US, but I feel that's a large majorities' sentiments.

>>47413323

yeah honestly education should be last unless you're looking for your first job. put projects you've worked on first and what you did before the school you went to. agree on the 1 page only suggestion. reduce the margins and i would delete the references section they can ask for them if the rest of your resume doesn't look like shit

>4. Don't Ignore What You Did in High School
Nope. Unless you have 0 experience, I don't care about your coursework. The GPA number means nothing when it comes to picking candidates to interview. Unless it really relates to the job you are applying for, I can't see high school helping at all.

>5. Include Books and Conferences
Maybe? It won't hurt (unless it's a very basic book like "for dummies"), but I don't seeing it help a ton. If you need space filled.

>6. Be Specific
>7. Keep it to One Page
>8. Link to Your Personal Website
True. Specific and Stats in work history are greater than everything else. Two pages are the worst, Link to a personal website is awesome (nothing under construction... ever). Also make it mobile and cross browser compatible if you are going for a web dev job.

Maybe someone else here can agree or disagree, but I feel the balance or alignment is a little off. The `honors and leadership` and `education` feel like their second column is two far to the left, when `certifications and technical skills`'s column is over to the right.

It's just the reality of the world we live in that most people don't really do shit before they're 25.

>>47412620
Take out the Objective; people know you're applying for an internship.

Take out Gen Chem; no one cares. Advanced Engineer Math tells me nothing and Diff EQ & Linear Algebra are already enough math courses for highlights.

What do you do outside of class? Or at least some form of discretionary effort that shows you'll do more than the bare minimum of the job description? You don't have to join clubs, but even just side projects that are in some way relevant to your development are good to include.

Take out McDonalds; it's completely irrelevant to the internships you're applying for and is interchangeable with no prior work experience. It actually has negative overtones that you would think it's pertinent to include.

>>47413906

honest question for anyone who has an opinion about including undergrad GPA:

2.8

resume includes a thorough run-down of experience and skills. in conversation as well as on paper. how bad is that number and should I include it?

>>47413967
how bad is that number should I include it?
No.

>>47413988
>quote failed

>>47413967
Don't include it. Anecdotal, but this happened to me:
>Finishing internship
>last day of work
>talking to the GM
>he asks me what my GPA is
>before I answer, he cuts me off and says "No one gives a shit"
>"Common sense and experience means everything"

>>47413967
Does anyone normally include their GPA? Normally saying something like "graduated with honors" or "magna cum laude" generally explains what needs to be said.

>>47413967

3.0 is usually the cutting point and there might a slim 1% of jobs that go as low as 2.75 which, if you see it on a job you're applying to, it's probably better to include it if you can.

For the 99% of job that have higher GPA requirements, no.

The titles either need to be bigger, or not centre jusified.

Their tiny little lines.

No one gives a fuck about your scholarships.

'Promoted 1st month' no one gives a fuck.

You need to have a few generic lines. And then add in those specific towards the job.

>>47413808
>dat clarity

Some of your stuffs too wordy. But the headings and layout are nice.

I would try justifying your lists under 'skills' so that the second line of examples were under the first. So that there's white space between the titles(Programming[...] Design & [...] Office Tools.

Mite look better or not.

Turn Office tools into a more general thing. Operating Systems, M$ office, Virtual Machines, Web Servers, Github etc.

>>47414245
>Too specific
>Generic lines
terrible advice.

Question:

If I have a resume for some kind of computer related job and I have no experience yet, still trying to get my foot in the door, would it be helpful to include that I have been working at a nursing home for 2.5 years to show commitment, or would it be better if I just left that out?

Also, how the fuck do I my foot in the door? I'm tired of wiping asses here.

>>47413623
>The GPA number means nothing when it comes to picking candidates to interview.

I don't see how people take this position. I get it if the person is two or three years removed from college with significant experience, but if nothing else, a good GPA shows a person isn't lazy. Let's be honest, it doesn't mean they're necessarily smart, but it does mean they can apply themselves. College really isn't that much different than work when you're starting out. You have no responsibility other than to carry out what other people tell you to do, and a GPA shows that you can do that effectively - even if the major has nothing to do with anything else.

>>47414306
When you're starting out, and empty like most of the resumes here, you need to fluff and add specific shit in for specific jobs.

The HR person reading through your shit DGAF about your 500 languages, and only wants to see the ones they posted in their ad.

>>47414245

I'm not talking about the fluff shit like 'muh team skills and synergy'

I'm talking about having 400 acronyms/terms/definitions that 99% of companies wouldn't understand.

And that it's better to leave them out and or be more generic with them. And add then add them back in if you're applying for a job where said things are relevant.

What if the example from my post wasn't applying for a job that involved ROVs?

Also, that's a lot of shit you put under "Experience" when it's just stuff you practiced. Do this:

If you have relevant information (see above) to fill out a second page, don't be afraid to put it in.

Don't fill it with fluff. I don't care what organizations you volunteered for, what sports you play, or what summer job you had six years ago. Taking up space with stuff like that will probably just bias me against you.

As an example
>>47414749
This has three interesting points (sysadmin, programming/software experience, education) and four boring points (three jobs that don't really matter, plus some volunteering that I didn't even read).

pop/imap seems like overkill, since you're the only one fetching emails
Is there a simpler way to read your mails from your smtp server?

>>47416623
Just type "mail" in the console on server.
Or "alpine", or "pine", or any other cli client that can read mails.

I would still prefer to use Thunderbird, because my clients do use HTML (oh, the heresy).

>>47416554
This is the smart mans way of applying for jobs.

>>47416633
I don't mean reading it locally on the server.
I'm thinking more of something like rsyncing the mailbox files, or some generic remote fs protocol.

>>47416661
IMAP is best protocol.
You can do rsync stuff, why not.
But that's like using Arch Linux or ricing your desktop. Pointless and retarded.

There are no other options, really.
You can even IMAP push like this with a proper email cient on your phone.

>>47416623

If we are on /g/, why don't you just run your own server instead of forward?

I have a kinda weird question. Let's say i'm salf taught programmer and i want to make a github repository which i can show on my job interviews. On the other hand i want to make software that i can sell to other people until i find a job. Now, question is, how can i put that software on github while other people don't just dl it and steal idea/software?

>>47416713
I've tried both Namecheap and Eurodns and their email forwarding are really slow. Plus, gmail requires the mail server to have authentication if you want to send mail AS the forwarding address.

>>47416732
Gmail has superior spam filtering and the web interface better than any email client IMO.

>>47416745
This implies I set it once and never have to worry about it ever again.
Which is not how reality works.
At some time something will break and I'll have to deal with all this additional overly complex software to find out why.

>>47416765
> Gmail has superior spam filtering and the web interface better than any email client IMO.

But it's a wall of javascript, eating up browser, ram, cpu, and the user at once.
Also, if you have multiple accounts, Gmail is ass.
It's not like you can't live with 1 spam / month. I just used ISPConfig's spam config for one account, and only had 1-2 spams per few months.

>>47416783
Which is how it works EXACTLY.
I adminnister several servers, and you set that shit up, back your settings up and DONE.
It will work.

It's cheaper not to do it, Gmail spam filters anyway and I learned how when I built the inbound & outbound mail platforms for an ISP, so I'd rather not do it again. Life's too short.

I used LinkedIn, as LinkedIn is made for business networking. No other social networking however, especially not G+/Facebook. I'm not CS, but it seems a lot of people here are involved in communities like Git and StackExchange, if that means anything to you.
