What do you put on your CV if you haven't done anything while an undergrad? I'm in my senior year and the only things I've done that may be noteworthy, was modelling a water distribution system and designing a constant mach number turn for end of term projects.
Is it customary to put stuff like this in your CV or does it have to be something physical you've built?

Get rid of activities list, almost no one cares about any awards you got in highschool or college no matter unless they specifically apply to the job you are seeking.

Education fist is good, get rid of your GPA if they want to know they will ask, that includes your credits too. All it does is clutter your resume.

Activities and skills should be a list of no more than 5-6 things and it willl last on your page.

Use stronger action verbs to describe what your responsibilities in your previous work experience, no one cares what your title was, but rather what you did specifically.

Unless they ask for an objective also ditch that. Write a full cover letter if you're serious, not an empty one liner.

If anything all your activities should be your main discussion in a cover letter, not listed in an unorganized fashion.

Put all dates aligned right so your employer can see them clearly.

Use this to describe activities in your previous jobs:

Every single bullet point under your previous jobs should include at least one of these words.

I take that back even some employers take less than 10 seconds to read your resume. So putting only the most pertinent information is necessary, otherwise it will be lost in a sea of clutter and never be read.
>>
>>8430649
I get that, I think I just took "activities" to mean like hobbies, which doesn't make sense to talk about in a cover letter, or a resume. I just woke up from a nap, I'm not all there yet.
>>
Do you guys put panels that you've been a part of on your CV? I have my first coming up, and I want to include it, but I'm not sure if it's something people generally list.
>>
The only thing on your resume should be your most recent and relevant work experience (don't put work experience if you just graduated and your work experience is as a burger flipper - they don't give a fuck), the degree you hold and from what institution, a mission statement (not more than 5 sentences), and possibly one to three research projects that highlights your skills (include a very brief summary with a hyperlink to the full paper/abstract). You can also include any professional licenses you hold under a skills section.

A resume should absolutely NEVER be more than one page. Cover letters should be omitted (they're a thing of the past). The employer is looking to skim your resume briefly and get a full synopsis of your professional experience in under 2 minutes reading time. They'll be able to get more info during the interview.

If you're really ambitious look up the best font, etc to use. There is an idea that certain text fonts "hook" the reader and make them more interested, layouts subconsciously improve their opinion of you, etc.
>>
>>8430656
Mmm, i agree that activities are like hobbies. And employers dont care about hobbies unless you can directly relate it to the job you are applying for. Going to a conference or meeting about a topic says absolutely nothing about your ability to do a job. Listing it wont suffice, you need to describe specifically how it applies and how it influenced you, hence works better to include some in the cover letter vs resume, granted there should be some activities or skills on your resume.

>>8430667
Panels, again i would recommend discussing in your cover letter. Depends on what kind of panel, and what you decided or discussed. But id side with being able to describe it rather than list it. Someone reading your resume will only care if they have heard of the panel or place it was held, most wont, so it doesnt say much unless you describe it.
>>
>>8430683
> is as a burger flipper

I wholeheartedly disagree. If you worked as a burger flipper for 1 month, omit it. If you worked for many years it shows a hell of a lot about your work ethic and ability to commit many hours to a single task. Give it one bullet point and move on but you should always include any work experience you have had if you worked for a year or more at the same job even if it is unrelated to what you are applying for.
>>
>>8430683
Otherwise great advice.
>>
>>8430126
Also a CV is substantially different from a resume. And i am no in engineering, but would guess that in general engineering jobs are looking more for CVs and less for Resumes.

The objective is your sales pitch, it's the first thing an employer uses to determine whether he'll view the resume or cast it aside. Put three things in it: where you are, where you want to be, and how your goals align with a company. Keep your body concise, as well. Make your resume easy to navigate with your more relevant and applicable skills closer to the top. Details can be saved for later when he needs to size you up against someone else.
>>
>>8430648
Kek'd at the boy scouts.

Summary started off well and then went down the deep end with that horrible phrasing and grammar.

The lack of work experience becomes apparent once he starts telling you about his coursework in detail and it gets solidified by everything that follows. Not necessarily bad, at least he knows how to sell it well. I would have put more effort into the skills section though.

Some proper internships would go a long way though, to make this guy hireable.

My shitty advice:

1) cut down the relevant course work section.
If you really want it there, I would only keep courses that aren't standard to every bio major but applies to the position you're applying for (ie, you took an specific elective on entomology and you're applying for pest control research)

2) Field sampler section:
cut out lines 1,3 and 4

3) regulator affairs associate section:
combine lines 2-5 (and try to make it concicee, don't just put them on together) and cut out the "previously known as MSDS"

Anyways, I'm an unemployed ChemE so take my advice with a grain of salt.

That's literally the job description. Its not grammatically wrong. It's pretty much being a courier. I don't know how you expand upon that.
>>
>>8430877
First of all, try to keep your resume to one page, like OP. If it goes to two pages, the second one will almost never be read by employers.

Second, keep it simple (stupid). Nobody cares about the labs you were in or the classes you took in college. Simply comment on the interesting/relevant ones, like, "studied plant biology" or something.

Thirdly, you have two duplicate "Field Sampler" experiences. Stop the bullshit.

Fourthly, when mentioning lab experience (or any of these positions, include the date (you might have just censored it, idk). Don't just say "for a short period of time".

Fifthly, don't list "filled our paper work" as work experience. It's expected, not impressive.

Try to clean it up by only including things that you think a potential employer would look at and say, "wow, that's interesting, I guess I'll have to ask anon about this in the interview instead of throwing his shitty resume right in the trash"

In that case an objective section is useful. You can explain why you want a large change from what you were doing before, where you're headed, what you can bring to the table from your previous experiences, etc. People transfer from, say, marketing to HR more often than you might think.

>>8430858
Your education does not belong under skills
Don't include microsoft office and "data entry"
Don't use the acronyms unless you plan to refer back to them in actual technical writing
You seem to have straight-up listed every course you've taken. Don't do this. All courses you do mention should reflect advanced, relevant, specialized knowledge.
Seriously. "General Chemistry 1, General Chemistry 1 lab, General Chemistry 2, General Chemistry 2 lab, Organic Chemistry 1, Organic Chemistry 2, Organic Chemistry lab" reads like a poor self-referential joke. This is going straight to the trash.
Don't list your matriculation date
Provide both your employer and job title
You need to be a lot more concise in your experience section and overall. You should not need a second page/side. What you have here is a laundry list of your jobs' day to day mechanics that feels lie an eight year old's "what I did this weekend" essay. Consider the big picture impact/effect of your jobs and focus what you say about the job around highlighting genuine skills you applied and achievements/accomplishments you made. Where you don't have these, it can be useful to emphasize what you learned/gained from it (for instance, lab assistanceship and generally trivial work in science can be framed as a type of education or training.

>It was a seasonal job that I worked for the company for three seasons. Honestly I don't know how to show any difference between them or to how to tell recruiter/employers that I worked that same job three times without it looking confusing or awkward as fuck

Sum it up into one section if it is the same job for the same company at three different times:

Job Title
Location(s)
Time frame(s)

- Activity
- Activity
- Activity

And try to get it all onto one page if you have more than half of the next page left blank.

>I don't really know how I'm supposed to expand on that stuff.
Put it into different bullet items and put the most relevant things at the top.
And "Familiarity with Java and C++" can mean literally anything, what can you actually do with it? What is your actual skill level? If it is literally just "Hello World!" programs, then drop that line.

>Drove around the country
>That's literally the job description. Its not grammatically wrong. It's pretty much being a courier. I don't know how you expand upon that.

It's not grammatically wrong, but it sounds like you made a road trip. Write something like:

Visited relevant test locations in the state of X to perform tests Z, Y and Z for the purpose of A, B and C.

Excellent!
t. Late 20th century

>>8430126
I have been a professional for 20 years and hiring for 15 years. The purpose of the resume is to get past the gat keeper who is in HR. You usually get a phone interview to clear up any questions the HR person may have to get to the face to face. So some criticism based on my experience/perspective:

Education:
- Is community college really relevant? I see someone who has spent 6 years? in community college (2010 - 2016)? That seems really odd?
- Only 15 credit hours in 2 yeasr at current institution?
- Ideally you would want to only present your last degree (BS presumably) and not mention the community college.

Activities: Group these into 4 overarching bullets. Think that I don't have time to read them all and figure it out myself. I have a job to do as well as interview you.
- Leadership: Public Relations Officer; Captain of Rifle Team
- Conferences Attended: Society of Woman Engineers Cyber Security Conference...
- Accolades: Presidents list, Deans list, etc.
- Memberships: American Society of Mechanical Engineers, etc.

Skills: What about practical skills like email, Microsoft word and excel? You do not need dates for skills. You either trained in them or you didn't. Don't underestimate this simply because you grew up with email, etc. Us old folks are pretty ignorant and ornery.

Work Experience:
- How does your work experience relate to your major and education. I worked at KFC 40 hours a week while taking on a full load at uni. Saying you worked a job while also taking a full load is much more impressive than if it was a summer job. If it was a summer job it isn't that relevant unless it in field of study.

Lastly where are the internships? No internships is a huge minus. Be prepared to have an explanation.
>>
>>8430847
You have 6 months of experience (4/16 - 10/23). This should not be 2 pages. I read through this in 90 seconds and you would not get an interview in my company. Most of this was fluff with no substance.

Example, I get that you have a BS. I don't need your entire curriculum. If your school is accredited I'll accept your qualifications with a GPA to rank you.

Your work experience is ridiculous. you were from 4/18/2016 to present was i) Regulatory Affairs Associate ii) Field Sampler iii) Lab Assistant iV) not sure I can't read the title v) Field Sampler (again!?). What is your real experience? Sounds like a bunch of BS to me.

Why is it that every resume I've seen with Society of Women Engineers or Women in STEM happens to have a severe absence of field-relevant experience or some other demonstration of passion for the field?

C'mon man. I managed to come up with 8+ lines on being an IT assistant in high school. If you truly did good work, there should be more there. However, I will note that you're pretty close to exceeding one page, so maybe it won't be that beneficial.


Overall, it seems alright. If your GPA was above a 3.4, I would list it.

They're encouraged to do that for the wrong reasons. But that's not a bad thing, you have to start from something and maybe you'll find some better reasons to do that.

>Skills: Having a BS in Biology
lol

>Familiarity with Java and C++
"Familiarity" implies it's probably not worth listing on a Resume.

>Education
If you're listing every fucking class you ever took, but not your GPA, this will get thrown into the shitter. Cut out ALL of your curriculum and use that space to get rid of the second page by summarizing your work experience.

>Working Experience
You had ~6 months of experience. You can fit that in <= 8 lines. Also, I assume this is an error, but Field Sampler is listed three separate times. Finally, find another way to say "filled out paperwork".

Sure, one has to start somewhere in their field, but not all places are equal. Starting in these groups to promote participation in the sciences is a mistake. There are plenty of other opportunities to show a desire to succeed, like internships, research positions, personal projects, and other things that actually require the application of what you learned in the field. Doing things like making brochures to promote awareness or hosting events to talk about inequality is completely non-conducive to advancing in your field and simply shows your public relations and community skills.

Don't get me wrong, these organizations are fine to be involved in. As long as you're not leaning on them as a substitute for experience in the field, they're fine.

Idk, I read somewhere that it could help if the recruiter is interested by the content of this section
Anyway I started my PhD recently, so this resume is pretty much useless for now

Depends on the country actually. But yeah, it's uncommon on american resumes.

I know it's expected in Germany, not sure about other countries in the EU. Probably similar.

>uw0tm8?
Mostly automating reporting and analytics

>>College job has one description line
It was a student position at my school and I had very few responsibilities. And frankly most of the stuff I did is no longer relevant to where my career is now.

>>If your GPA was above a 3.4, I would list it.
I've been given the impression that no one gives a shit about your GPA unless you're applying for internships. No recruiter/interviewer has ever asked me about it.

Fuck, if only you listed Chem Draw you'd have made it into the "don't shred" pile. I mean, how else am I to assume you can actually use software that's highly standard within and without the industry and takes minutes for a literal chimp to pick up?
Joking aside, if you had, for instance, an analytical chem course that involved besides-superficial use of Excel there may be a better way to present that

I think the interests section here is actually a clever move. It seems fairly tight and focused on interpersonal skills - teamwork, communication, PR shit - in a nicely "show, don't tell" way. I'll have to steal this desu. Bonus points if your languages fall into the regions you've traveled to.

>two pages

One page for every ten years of experience. Only substantial experience and accomplishments should make it into your resume. That'll keep it down to one page.
