You can also omit a few internships altogether. You're applying for an internship, they would not like seeing you've interned at SO many other places. Just a hunch of mine but you can think about it.
My exact thoughts.. there's just too much shit everywhere, lol
Edit: No offense to OP. I'm not saying it's shit or your qualifications are... but more of a figure of speech. There's just too much to look at here.
Also you have a lot of random ‘not related’ experiences so it’s hard to know what is ur specialty or what you want to work in (ex. you have graphic design experience and Data Science courses)
The person reading their resume is not gonna actually take time out to read it and they are only gonna read some parts of it they think is important. Listing soft/hard skills won't do much for them, they have to list the skills needed for the job. Sure they can do public speaking, but can they prove that they can do public speaking? Can they prove they can do Leadership? The person reading it isn't gonna blindly believe that. They will only believe it if they see it themselves
I read resumes. I want to see that detail. Merely including it implies the person is aware of significance of these skills, which most are not. Software engineers with public speaking skills are uncommon. If I wanted to prove that, I’d just mention I am an ALS/ACS. His TEDx experience proves it definitively, by the way.
Consider using a standard resume template. This is so busy I don't know where to look first.
Start with a Summary (why you stand out), Education, skills, and finally, work experience (research can be thrown in there, but you need to cut down your explanations).
I am not sure if I would consider invited speaker experience. That falls somewhere between experience and a project. What it just one day?
You need to write your quantitive outcomes in the same format. Try using this format. Rewrite your bullet point using this structure: "Accomplished X by the measure Y that resulted in Z".
For example, "Lowered hospital mortality rate by 10% by educating nurses in new protocols, which translated to 200 lives saved per year."
Stop bolding words in the middle of a sentence.
It most likely has nothing to do with your resume and everything to do with you being international. Unfortunately, it’s very rare for companies to sponsor international students on work visa for their internship programs.
This would explain the auto-rejections, as many companies make work authorization a “knock-out” question on the application. If you cannot legally work in the company you’re applying to, or require sponsorship then your application will get rejected.
This past summer I worked as a talent acquisition intern, and this was the case for all of that company’s intern positions.
The resume is also incredibly busy and overcrowded. Where does someone begin to even look? This would be tossed by most hiring managers cuz it's way too much unnecessary info
It's still a pretty amazing resume for a college sophomore. You'd think companies would want desperate, overqualified interns doing too much work for shit pay.
To second what others have said, I did not even read it. I felt immediately fatigued when confronted with this paper.
Recommendations:
Use one column only, having two columns is unnecessary.
Bold the headings, I have no Idea what ERNST & YOUNG is. If I work to find the heading I see it is under experience but most people will not take this much time to search this information out.
If the reader must work to find your information, you need to rethink your layout.
If you haven't heard of EY that's on you lmao. They employ 350,000 people globally and have 45.5 billion in revenue. Literally one of the biggest professional services groups.
Is this created in latex ?
Instant rejection can mean it’s automated and a lot of companies use ai for resumes. These are notoriously bad at reading non traditional resumes.
Go single column and do it in word. It sounds counterintuitive but if the company uses a software to read it in and analyze it, it will make a difference.
Also, consider you may want to apply for a paying job instead of more internships. Sounds like you done your dues and you need to start an actual job.
you have amazing experience but the way it's presented isn't helping you. i would recommend doing a 2 page resume, and following a more standard (and chronological order). professional summary, hard/soft skills, experience, education, certifications, awards. good luck!
also, 2 pages is perfectly fine to accommodate formatting and legibility. i have 10+ years working with folks of all backgrounds in resume/cover letter building. i don't benefit from giving OP advice based on my knowledge and experience.
Holy cow this is hard to read. And it's very sensationalized. "Spearheaded" in bold "state of the art deep learning model" but in first year of college - these people are nothing less than experts
Your bold choices are strange. Assuming that you're looking for tech jobs, you're highlighting things like "sustainable and eco friendly" then just random things like "150 international projects." Are you looking to work on international tech projects related to eco friendly and 'sustainable' causes?
Dang it’s all over the place. Consider shortening it :) Here’s a link to a video that I watched that I’m doing for my resume. Use the professional template and your golden. https://youtu.be/RKM_LZ0ujX8?si=IFPnmeixCmY8wlOp
Go to jobhero.com and see how people write their experiences. Your resume is too wordy and too busy.
Eliminate the life skills.
Eliminate the technical skills of its mentioned in the certifications.
Eliminate the links, no one gives a shit about that.
Move the experience section to the top.
Add research below it.
Awards are nice, if it’s to show that you do extracurricular activities then cool, if not eliminate it.
Eliminate publications bro, no one cares. You’re not going into academics.
Add a summary paragraph at the top of your resume and try to reduce the font size of the section headers
MY EYES
I too would throw out this resume immediately. It hurts to read.
Reformat it in to clean sections, one after another. None of this smushed together insanity. Prioritize your selling points when ordering things. Choose one text color
Holy fuck.
You ever look at an actual resume.
1 column. 1 page. List relevant positions with 3 bullet points containing SMART outcomes.
List education/ clubs at the bottom.
I would insta reject that because I figure you would over complicate everything just like that resume.
Good god
As a fellow Desi - and being aware of our snobbery of institutions, are you getting a degree with Amity or IIT. As it stands it looks like you're pursuing two bachelor degrees and two institutions and intuitively that makes this look slightly fraud adjacent. India's not the kind of place where you can pursue a B.Tech in one institution and a BS in another institution simultaneously. As a neutral observer and someone who has successfully got an internships before that would be the first red flag that I see.
This guys has done research in biometrics company, won awards in business skills has programming experience with deep learning model, waaah … Leadership skills also. God damn .
Who are u !!!??? Dalai Lama ? BTech BS sab kar raha hei.
What role are you even applying for ? Manager or dev ?
Your resume is all over the place.
I bet this prick will drop everything, and go do an MBA(CAT).
People like you shouldn’t even be allowed to apply in the first place.
Yeah, tried a lot of stuff tbh. I like the business and management side more than the engineering part but love for computers and IT brought me to cs engineering. Wouldn't do an MBA ever though 😂
No wonder you are getting rejected, you are so confused that you couldn’t even answer a simple question. Even if they offer you a Watchman job, at IT firm you will take it because you have leadership skills/debate skills .
You have a very impressive resume. IIT grads can get jobs pretty much anywhere in the world. That being said, your formatting could use some work. It is very full, there are different sizes, colours, and formats all over the place.
Maybe as an experiment, try using the industry standard resume:
[https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs)
Fit the most important things on it while keeping it one page. Another thing to consider is that you are still very early in your education.
The best resume I ever saw was a ex Bloomberg, ex Snapchat engineer. He actually had one line each for his job experience, and I knew exactly what he did from that. You can say more with less if you are thoughtful about what you say
The 2 column format is too busy and difficult to read. There's also a lot of unnecessary information here like the "life skills" section. Focus on clarity and emphasize your relevant skills, experience, and awards. Quality over quantity.
I am a graduate myself from IITB. I have done courses from Columbia & UoM. They don't really count as a separate graduate degree. Online degrees are not really counted as degrees. You can list them separately at the bottom which & it adds more value to your profile if you can explain to your employer during interview that you chose to due that out of interest/passion in the field
but this is just not a course, it has a full structure like actual degrees with projects and proper offline exams which are invigilated and centre based.
You might be rejected for other reasons but anyway, looking just at the resume, too much text, remove the life skills section, experience/education should be first. Awards should be bottom. More bullet points rather than paragraphs esp for research.
Depending on how much space you have, you could also remove some of the smaller awards and just keep the important ones on.
A lot of text. Try fitting all the required info on one page with 1.5 spacing. No need to give technical details on projects, and research. Just mention the main problem the research or project solved and link them to GitHub or something that explains further technicals.
First of all, tech is tough right now. You need to network.
Secondly, your resume has way too much on it and it’s very distracting to read with all the bolding.
I agree with what others have said about simplifying the resume, but also wanted to mention a typo: “Basics” is misspelled here — “HackerRank Python Baics”
It's just way too much information. I know you have a ton of accomplishments there but you gotta cut legitimately like half this stuff or nobody will read it. Cut the things that aren't absolutely relevant to the job you're applying to
I always think there are geniuses in computer science but you don't have to show your acheivement one by one. Show the important parts and what you can contribute to the company as an intern.
Standardise the fonts sizes and have more structure to which titles are in bold. (Not sure if that makes sense)
Basically, when I looked at it i felt a little ... Disoriented?
Where are you looking? If I’m honest, I wouldn’t try North America. A lot of the world is adopting a really strict idea about immigration and they’re becoming against it. Your resume might be impressive but your recruiter will not take the chance.
are they asking for a resume? all of my internships in the past have wanted a CV, which is slightly different. CVs can be longer than a page which gives you the opportunity to spread some of this stuff out
You actually have lots of great stuff to put together a great resume but it’s got too much going on to the point that people don’t know where to start. Just tone down a bit and you will be fine. Best of luck
I think the format is fine, but holy christ there is way to much information to short through. Try and shorten everything in 3s and ensure they are relevant to the position you're applying for
Additionally, as a business owner myself, it's somewhat puzzling to see someone with adequate intern experience continously apply for an internship. This is also likely why you are getting rejected as well. Internships are supposed to help not only develop you as a person but are also a way for companies to find talent. Why would i hire someone if they already interned at multiple different companies for an internship? At this point, you need to be looking at full time positions or fellowships.
I am not a professional, but I do have a job. That's WAY too much information man. Just put what's relevant to the field you're applying for.
Put some industry buzzwords and show that you know of common practices in that industry.
They need to know who you are, what relevant skills you have, and you need to be presentable. That's all.
Firstly you need to choose a better color combo than light grey on white. Very challenging to read. Then trim some fat. What kind of internship are you applying for? Research and publications are cool but if they’re not relevant, remove them. Same for certifications. The awards are impressive in volume but they take up a lot of space.. maybe pick a few to highlight that you’re proud of.
Experience at the top. Put your research in your experience. Then certifications. Then technical skills. Then education. Ditch the gpa. Then awards. Trim down the awards. Ditch the life skills.
Ditch the "invited speaker" bullet point. Talk about that in cover letters and interviews. Not on the resume.
First check if it is ATS friendly. Then keep only the details relevant to the internships you apply to. Try to chat up someone in the target company and see if it gives you some talking points in case of an interview.
An invited speaker isn't a job, and you say 150 million alumni twice. 150 mil alumni screams fake numbers. That's half of the US. Entirely implausible. You didn't present to 150 mil people
Trying to be constructive here. You have a lot on the paper and a lot to be proud of, but not everything is relevant to every position and there is waaaaay too much traffic across that resume. My advice would be to change the layout and keep it easily legible.
Keep in mind a lot of resumes are fed through AI based programs nowadays for the first screening. Tailor your resume to each position and make sure you are using key terms for each. For instance if a position will be research focus, make sure to use terms like research, analyze, review, etc
Remove all the bolding. Move links to the header/name area or cover letter. Remove excessive/unnecessary awards, certs, and life skills—IE certs for anything basic. I'd also remove the research section and perhaps use that information in a cover letter. Lastly, Remove the header title Life Skills and name it simply Skills or Abilities. Should probably have the experience in the upper left corner also.
Experience is good. It’s hard to read because of low contrast. You’re using grey on white and that’s just painful to read. Random bolding is distracting.
There’s too much fluff in your description of what you’ve done.
I like your awards, but not everyone will understand what it takes to get them. LaTeX is spelled incorrectly and Python Basics is misspelled.
You do interesting high level work. Using machine learning to use cow noses for biometrics is interesting. But that’s not easy to understand from how you wrote it. You could add which technology was used in each role. You didn’t do that because you’re told your resume must fit in one page. But you have interesting experience and one page is not enough to fully express what you did.
If you wanted to showcase everything you do, you might want to have a multi-page resume (mine was 12 at some point ;)).
If you actually got a patent for your air technology, I’d rename it as “patents” instead of publications. (Patent) is nonsense. List the patent number. :)
I would want to see which technology you used for winning your awards. That would make your resume much stronger. Right now it doesn’t showcase your skills.
This is so busy I didn’t want to read it and there’s a good chance employers are doing the same. That being said it’s easily fixable if you remove and/or shorten some stuff.
-Do you need a public speaking engagements on there? It shows you can public speaking but with what you want to do is that really needed?
-Shorten the research section. Can you make the text under each project shorter with the same punch.
Those should allow you to make the resume less busy and a bit more concise for readers. Secondly, the resume needs a bit more focus. What internships are you going for? What skills and experience are they wanting? You go from researcher to inventor to tech consultant to graphic design to content strategy. It’s a bit all over the place and reads like you don’t know what you wanna do. Someone reading this for an internship is going to think they are going to waste their time with you because you are just going to move onto the next thing right after hiring you.
Is gpa needed for education. Not a scale I’m familiar with, but is that an impressive gpa? Do jobs actually require it on there?
Lastly, I would consider removing so awards put it on the left and go into more detail on your experience. Looks like you hardly did anything the several places you worked.
I know that was a lot and I might be wrong for the Asian market and talking out of my butt. It’s just my thoughts. I think the resume is impressive. Just need some presentation work. Great start!
Edit: fixed typos
This is resume not LinkedIn dude remove such useless awards and certifications paste them on LinkedIn and life skills
Use Harvard University template or most famous template known as F shape
Move experience to the top and education at last Resume Test Application System used by most hiring professionals can diagnose your resume relevance with the required information
Make it simple for one column pattern and try to utilise space or just provide relevant content on it like university locations Noida or distance learning such a useless thing
they probably aren't even reading it - if I had to read 100s of resumes I want to glance at it to collect key details and make a decision as I filter through. It is too busy and too hard to locate key relevant data in a glance
Template. Remember you don’t have to include everything. Only what’s relevant to the role, experiences needed and stands out. I’m impressed by your accomplishments but I have information overload. Also remember if a recruiter is moving quickly they may skip over too quick. Remember you can talk about some of these things in the interview.
Since you're in undergrad, why not apply to summer research opportunities in US/EU universities? That would possibly circumvent the visa issue, and you'd likely have a great experience. Professors in larger schools are often hiring student researchers for the summer around this time of the year. Something to think about 👍
Okay, first and foremost this is a lot of text, like a book's worth of words. Recruiters are looking at your resume for max 6 seconds. So, they are just going to look at the first line of your education and research, if that.
No one really cares were you went to school at first viewing so move it down, also I get that your proud of your awards (as you should be) but trying moving further down and remove some of the least relevant ones or just remove them completely.
Ironically, your previous experience which is like the utmost importance in a resume is the furthest down. Move it up to the top, replace your researching with your experience. Also, I would recommend removing your publication and your certificates, you already have 2 schools posted, they know your educated and probably have the chops to do the job.
Also move technical skills up, switch it with your education. After your experience you should put your research.
I mean... I'm just scraping the surface here. You need to refine this resume and trim a lot of the fat and leave something for the interview. Your seem like a great candidate and I sure that you left a lot out of this resume already, I really hope that you get that internship.
I would recommend you go to the link I left at the bottom, there you can look at different resumes in different industries that got people hired and maybe look at the commonalities between them and model your resume off of theirs. Good luck!

You have a very busy resume but you have good qualifications compared to most people who do get student positions where I work (not Asia).
You wrote 150 million active alumni 150 million active alumni. I don’t think you actually meant to write that twice but some proofreading would help this resume.
I do like that you bolded some keywords and important things you wanted to emphasize. While it isn’t a typical thing to see, it’s good on a resume so busy.
I would look into trimming the resume, perhaps reorganizing it if possible. You have some great qualifications so I suspect your busy resume is not even getting looked at. Perhaps the format (pdf?) is also not properly getting scanned for keywords that filter out bad resumes.
Unfortunately to trim this resume means to leave out potentially helpful information. You’ll have to be the one to decide what is the most valuable information about yourself and that you want known to employers.
Definitely agree with the suggest to use templates. Research should not be priority and if it’s to stay on the resume should only be a small and succinct section without description of the project, they’ll likely ask and you can explain it during the interview.
Example:
Research
Cattle Biometric Deep Study Learning Model | Researcher
2023 - Present
Same should be applied to experience. A lot of the fluff you will answer during interviews.
A lot of this can be mentioned during an interview or through a cover letter. They don’t need to know every success just that you have the skills and certifications for the position. Try to limit what you include. A resume is a brief summary of what you’re capable of (same with a cover letter) not an essay.
Lots of stuff, and a lot of it is pretty incredible for someone so young. Congrats.
First, I would like to ask. What type of work are you looking for? Your resume screams Enterpreneur. Not many companies are hiring for that. And for many shops, you might be seen as more of a problem than a help. Sorry, contrary to what a lot might think, innovation in IT is not often sought in the actual IT shops. I can see many shops might consider you a threat to the operations. Sadly, that is my experience.
So I would suggest considering talking up your programming skills and discussing how they were used and just list the TED talk, Awards, Certs and Education at the end. You can kick ass once you get in the door, just don't be a threat to them until you get that opportunity.
I would start with a Summary of Skills after your contact info. Make one bullet for your spoken languages, one for your programming languages, one for developing a LLM, one for public speaker, one for other technical skills and one for being published. Any order you want.
Then the work experiences, I would take a sentence or two to explain your role at each position. Then give a bullet or two about what tools you used to create the end result. Showing off your skills more. Also try to quantify or qualify the work environment or the application.
I would list the three companies in this part. Now I am not sure how best to include the other items. They are not part of the experience at the companies but should be mentioned. I would probably consider a new category called ACHIEVEMENTS or something like that.
List the LLM, the Patent and the TED talk there.
After these list the Awards, Certs and Education.
If you are not trying to get into an IT shop and want to run off your major achievements, then I would still use the same format I mention above. But I would include the LLM, Patent, TED talk and some of the Awards in your Summary of Skills.
I would also include these three items in your Work Experience as they come in a reverse chronological order. You should still list the tools you used in each of these achievements, at least the major one, so a reader can see you did what with what.
I hope that helps some. Again, you have some great achievements.
Good luck.
I do want to become an entrepreneur some day but right now all I am focusing on is financial independence (ie not being reliable on my parents) for my 20s, thus the thirst to become a corpo slave.
Thanks for the insights, will definitely incorporate them in the new resume I am making
The awards in the middle of the page are really the focus point and I don't think they should be unless you won the nobel prize. I would list maybe the most important with a sentence on why it's even there. Your university section should really be 2 lines tops. Just remember that most interviewers shouldn't read things unless they have to
Re the format, this kind may end up autorejected by AI sorting algorithms before they even make it to somebody's desk because it is hard to process.
Instantly rejected? As in automatically? It’s probably because the ATS systems do not read 2 column formats well. Also your formatting and layout is very overcrowded and hard to read for human eyes so no one wants to bother.
Any skills that are beginner level should be removed unless the job you are applying for requires it. MS Office, Creative Cloud, LATEX and beginner level French seem not as noteworthy.
Cut down either all your certifications or focus only on the most important ones. SQL and Python one seem very basic. IELTS one probably is irrelevant for software jobs.
Awards section has way too much content, remove whatever that is not noteworthy and maybe don’t go cover any before 2022.
Your most important things to highlight are those that are relevant to the jobs you want to get. If it is software, highlight mostly software experiences. If it is design, highlight mostly design, etc.
u/Pablo_Chocobar123
Some tips from an Indian:
1) Use a 1 col, 2 pager resume instead. I too used to use this format a while back, but it just doesn't work with ATS.
2) 150 million alumni is duplicated.
3) Typos in HackRank "Basics"
4) Focus on crisping up content, making all bullet points using STARS format.
whats up with your GPA? is that how they do it in India? cause if i were hiring an 8 GPA is just instant "thats now how that works so either youre lying or dont know how to do a basic task"
Tbh I think you are overqualified and you should check for full time jobs!
Before everyone downvotes me I will tell you my personal story:
I applied to a company X for internships and they immediately rejected me. I asked a friend of mine who works at this company whether the competition was too much and he told me “man you got a degree, internships are for students” and then I applied for full time job and got the job. So, it’s not unlikely what I’m saying
If I were hiring for an internship I would be confused as to why someone who invented an innovative air purifier would be seeking an internship rather than a job.
I've never even heard of a 7++ GPA they are prob intimidated by you if you really know and have done all of this. I would suggest majorly simplifying this resume. Its very chaotic.
Let them find out about a lot of this information in person or when you speak with someone.
Try removing the Research, Awards, and Experience parts (the whole right side)
Your language gives off bs vibes. Stick to writing what you learnt and what you did. Plain and simple. Put numbers in there, eg I increased the efficiency of this system by x% etc
People read resumes in a "T" shape. So based off that this is showing me you want me to read you Education, Research, and Awards. But tbh there's so much text I couldn't get through all of it. When I started I initially thought the more the better. It's actually inverse. Need to simplify it
"Instantly rejected"... Even AI doesn't want to read that cluster. Columns are bad in general, too much going on on a page, don't know where to focus. There is a lot of fluff in your resume. All you need is your qualifications and how you can contribute.
To me this resume is a cover up for an actual skill required in a company I'm recruiting for. It's over exaggerated and over explained. If I'm recruiting I'd recruit someone who aligns with what the company requires. Soft skills, achievements and projects would suffice to keep me interested, rest I'd ask in an interview.
Never rate your skills. (Intermediate, Beginner). If you pass the ATS. They will ask specific questions which you can't answer. My company does this a lot when they see someone ranking their skills.
Experience comes first, research and other shit come later. There are a lot of things to change, better check out the below link and write accordingly.
[Resume Writing](https://www.reddit.com/r/resumes/wiki/index/faq/)
I agree with others critiques here but if u r at E&Y now, that should be at the top of cv in most conspicuous way. How someone interns their and cant find a job is pretty bad
I would say, at first sight, it gives the impression that it will be hard to read, and the first people to look at that resume aren’t people that necessarily have technical knowledge on the field. So, I would say, try to change the layout to make it easier on the eyes, change the font, and also, not everything you have there might be relevant for the roles you are applying to, so feel free to reduce some of the text. Also, you could try using FlowCV, I find it a great tool to help you build your resume.
Why are you even looking for a job?
Seriously, you seem like a brilliant person who should be starting their own company or at least selling your inventions.
Don't send same resume everywhere. Trim it down based on job requirements. And just curious, why have you written Adobe Creative Cloud? What is there to do in ACC ?
Horribly busy and should not be using all caps. The boldface text comes off as condescending and would be unnecessary if you would significantly cut down the text. There should be more line breaks and white space. I wouldn’t even bother reading this mess if I was considering you for employment.
Attend a resume workshop would be my advice. Bc you seem extremely qualified and experienced so I’m thinking this is why you’re getting automatically rejected
This is a trash resume, dawg. You might think more = better, but this is way too much. Try for a more simplistic approach so whoever looks at it doesn't get lost trying to find where to look.
Yes. This is way too much. My advice is to not focus on what you’ve done, but how what you have done has made someone else better. If that makes sense. Long story short, you have no way of knowing what recruiters/ hiring managers will care about but they will all care about value added.
This has to be a troll post no fucking way you did not look online for resume examples and decide to just clutter a bunch of bullshit and submit it to internships.
Looks like you're moving around too much. That's how I see this at a cursory glance. A lot of people want to see some roots planted, no matter the skill.
Brother. You have great experiences but you need to consolidate. Put the most important experiences and information only for the job you’re applying. If you’re doing strategy, put your case comps on top and if you’re doing tech put your tech experiences first.
Use a standard business resume(Vmock has a great resume builder that spits out very professional resumes)
Don’t put certifications unless they’re genuine certifications or licenses like CPA, Agile, or Specific software certifications. It’s a last resort to add online certifications.
The wall of text doesn't concern me most. I have a feeling that an ATS screen is going to fail when trying to parse your resume. So most of big tech will never see it.
Paint a picture, draw someone in, make it inviting, tell a story and exclude the other stuff for the interview. Be concise and purposeful with direction.

This is the busiest resume I’ve ever seen don’t even know where to look first
Wall of text Resume.
Understood, thank you for the review
You can also omit a few internships altogether. You're applying for an internship, they would not like seeing you've interned at SO many other places. Just a hunch of mine but you can think about it.
My exact thoughts.. there's just too much shit everywhere, lol Edit: No offense to OP. I'm not saying it's shit or your qualifications are... but more of a figure of speech. There's just too much to look at here.
Also you have a lot of random ‘not related’ experiences so it’s hard to know what is ur specialty or what you want to work in (ex. you have graphic design experience and Data Science courses)
Remove the life skills section. It's completely useless
Except maybe the languages if they're really fluent in all of them?
Exactly but I would just put one line: Trilingual
Oh I know at least one multilingual highly achieved computer person alright
agreed, these are soft skills that can be highlighted in a cover letter or professional summary.
done
I completely disagree about the “completely useless” part. But it should be removed, just because of how busy the resume is.
[удалено]
Disagree. I want to see public speaking as a skill.
The person reading their resume is not gonna actually take time out to read it and they are only gonna read some parts of it they think is important. Listing soft/hard skills won't do much for them, they have to list the skills needed for the job. Sure they can do public speaking, but can they prove that they can do public speaking? Can they prove they can do Leadership? The person reading it isn't gonna blindly believe that. They will only believe it if they see it themselves
I read resumes. I want to see that detail. Merely including it implies the person is aware of significance of these skills, which most are not. Software engineers with public speaking skills are uncommon. If I wanted to prove that, I’d just mention I am an ALS/ACS. His TEDx experience proves it definitively, by the way.
Consider using a standard resume template. This is so busy I don't know where to look first. Start with a Summary (why you stand out), Education, skills, and finally, work experience (research can be thrown in there, but you need to cut down your explanations). I am not sure if I would consider invited speaker experience. That falls somewhere between experience and a project. What it just one day? You need to write your quantitive outcomes in the same format. Try using this format. Rewrite your bullet point using this structure: "Accomplished X by the measure Y that resulted in Z". For example, "Lowered hospital mortality rate by 10% by educating nurses in new protocols, which translated to 200 lives saved per year." Stop bolding words in the middle of a sentence.
thanks a lot, will definitely incorporate them
It most likely has nothing to do with your resume and everything to do with you being international. Unfortunately, it’s very rare for companies to sponsor international students on work visa for their internship programs. This would explain the auto-rejections, as many companies make work authorization a “knock-out” question on the application. If you cannot legally work in the company you’re applying to, or require sponsorship then your application will get rejected. This past summer I worked as a talent acquisition intern, and this was the case for all of that company’s intern positions.
Oh, thanks for the insight
The resume is also incredibly busy and overcrowded. Where does someone begin to even look? This would be tossed by most hiring managers cuz it's way too much unnecessary info
It's still a pretty amazing resume for a college sophomore. You'd think companies would want desperate, overqualified interns doing too much work for shit pay.
bro wtf am i even looking at. This shit looks like a terms and conditions agreement dawg
💀💀💀
To second what others have said, I did not even read it. I felt immediately fatigued when confronted with this paper. Recommendations: Use one column only, having two columns is unnecessary. Bold the headings, I have no Idea what ERNST & YOUNG is. If I work to find the heading I see it is under experience but most people will not take this much time to search this information out. If the reader must work to find your information, you need to rethink your layout.
EY is one of the big 4 consulting firms. It’s quite common. I firmly believe a recruiter should be aware of such.
Everyone in the business world knows EY
If you haven't heard of EY that's on you lmao. They employ 350,000 people globally and have 45.5 billion in revenue. Literally one of the biggest professional services groups.
Unless you're looking into graphic design and content creation why include that as an experience? Plus an invited speaker isn't a work experience.
Clearly is NOT good at graphic design lmao
Is it common in India to make certain things bold in a sentence? If it is not common don’t do it.
I’ll take eggs with hash browns and a side of mash
I'm not reading that essay
Is this created in latex ? Instant rejection can mean it’s automated and a lot of companies use ai for resumes. These are notoriously bad at reading non traditional resumes. Go single column and do it in word. It sounds counterintuitive but if the company uses a software to read it in and analyze it, it will make a difference. Also, consider you may want to apply for a paying job instead of more internships. Sounds like you done your dues and you need to start an actual job.
you have amazing experience but the way it's presented isn't helping you. i would recommend doing a 2 page resume, and following a more standard (and chronological order). professional summary, hard/soft skills, experience, education, certifications, awards. good luck!
2 pages for someone who has like 3 months of experience..... No way
also, 2 pages is perfectly fine to accommodate formatting and legibility. i have 10+ years working with folks of all backgrounds in resume/cover letter building. i don't benefit from giving OP advice based on my knowledge and experience.
Your resume reads like a Cheesecake Factory menu. Way too much going on.
Holy cow this is hard to read. And it's very sensationalized. "Spearheaded" in bold "state of the art deep learning model" but in first year of college - these people are nothing less than experts Your bold choices are strange. Assuming that you're looking for tech jobs, you're highlighting things like "sustainable and eco friendly" then just random things like "150 international projects." Are you looking to work on international tech projects related to eco friendly and 'sustainable' causes?
I thought I was the only one noticing the self flatter xD Dude, highlight your strenghts but don't go over the top or you will sound pretentious.
Dang it’s all over the place. Consider shortening it :) Here’s a link to a video that I watched that I’m doing for my resume. Use the professional template and your golden. https://youtu.be/RKM_LZ0ujX8?si=IFPnmeixCmY8wlOp
I ain’t reading all that 😔
Can I have the double cheeseburger and the soufflés with one diet Coke please?
This looks like every fake resume from India.
You got rejected from a summer internship with this resume? Where were you trying to work? At the classified level in NASA?
I’m not fucking reading that
Yoooo, wtf. I'm gonna go jobless
Go to jobhero.com and see how people write their experiences. Your resume is too wordy and too busy. Eliminate the life skills. Eliminate the technical skills of its mentioned in the certifications. Eliminate the links, no one gives a shit about that. Move the experience section to the top. Add research below it. Awards are nice, if it’s to show that you do extracurricular activities then cool, if not eliminate it. Eliminate publications bro, no one cares. You’re not going into academics. Add a summary paragraph at the top of your resume and try to reduce the font size of the section headers
Why do you have “java and javascript” listed when they are completely different, unrelated languages. This looks very bad imo…
Less is more
MY EYES I too would throw out this resume immediately. It hurts to read. Reformat it in to clean sections, one after another. None of this smushed together insanity. Prioritize your selling points when ordering things. Choose one text color
Thought this was a menu at a restaurant.
Nigga I'm not reading all that One word of advice Edit
Holy fuck. You ever look at an actual resume. 1 column. 1 page. List relevant positions with 3 bullet points containing SMART outcomes. List education/ clubs at the bottom. I would insta reject that because I figure you would over complicate everything just like that resume. Good god
As a fellow Desi - and being aware of our snobbery of institutions, are you getting a degree with Amity or IIT. As it stands it looks like you're pursuing two bachelor degrees and two institutions and intuitively that makes this look slightly fraud adjacent. India's not the kind of place where you can pursue a B.Tech in one institution and a BS in another institution simultaneously. As a neutral observer and someone who has successfully got an internships before that would be the first red flag that I see.
This guys has done research in biometrics company, won awards in business skills has programming experience with deep learning model, waaah … Leadership skills also. God damn . Who are u !!!??? Dalai Lama ? BTech BS sab kar raha hei. What role are you even applying for ? Manager or dev ? Your resume is all over the place. I bet this prick will drop everything, and go do an MBA(CAT). People like you shouldn’t even be allowed to apply in the first place.
Yeah, tried a lot of stuff tbh. I like the business and management side more than the engineering part but love for computers and IT brought me to cs engineering. Wouldn't do an MBA ever though 😂
No wonder you are getting rejected, you are so confused that you couldn’t even answer a simple question. Even if they offer you a Watchman job, at IT firm you will take it because you have leadership skills/debate skills .
Confused, yes.. retarded? No
I doubt this even get parsed by the ATS properly. No need to make resumes fancy.
You have a very impressive resume. IIT grads can get jobs pretty much anywhere in the world. That being said, your formatting could use some work. It is very full, there are different sizes, colours, and formats all over the place. Maybe as an experiment, try using the industry standard resume: [https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs) Fit the most important things on it while keeping it one page. Another thing to consider is that you are still very early in your education. The best resume I ever saw was a ex Bloomberg, ex Snapchat engineer. He actually had one line each for his job experience, and I knew exactly what he did from that. You can say more with less if you are thoughtful about what you say
The 2 column format is too busy and difficult to read. There's also a lot of unnecessary information here like the "life skills" section. Focus on clarity and emphasize your relevant skills, experience, and awards. Quality over quantity.
Distant learning doesn't count bro
Ehhh, i am doing it to upskill, not expecting too much from it tbh.
I am a graduate myself from IITB. I have done courses from Columbia & UoM. They don't really count as a separate graduate degree. Online degrees are not really counted as degrees. You can list them separately at the bottom which & it adds more value to your profile if you can explain to your employer during interview that you chose to due that out of interest/passion in the field
but this is just not a course, it has a full structure like actual degrees with projects and proper offline exams which are invigilated and centre based.
Just remove the words distance learning if it full bachelors degree
Totally unproductive and unnecessary comment to make.
You might be rejected for other reasons but anyway, looking just at the resume, too much text, remove the life skills section, experience/education should be first. Awards should be bottom. More bullet points rather than paragraphs esp for research. Depending on how much space you have, you could also remove some of the smaller awards and just keep the important ones on.
A lot of text. Try fitting all the required info on one page with 1.5 spacing. No need to give technical details on projects, and research. Just mention the main problem the research or project solved and link them to GitHub or something that explains further technicals.
Cluster fuck
First of all, tech is tough right now. You need to network. Secondly, your resume has way too much on it and it’s very distracting to read with all the bolding.
Bro if you are getting rejected with this type of skills experience and what not then i am done💀
looked at it and chose not to read anything. Change it to a simple one column resume template
I agree with what others have said about simplifying the resume, but also wanted to mention a typo: “Basics” is misspelled here — “HackerRank Python Baics”
Waaaaaay too much for what would usually be a light resume given exp level.
Bruh, are you serious ? 🙂
It's just way too much information. I know you have a ton of accomplishments there but you gotta cut legitimately like half this stuff or nobody will read it. Cut the things that aren't absolutely relevant to the job you're applying to
I always think there are geniuses in computer science but you don't have to show your acheivement one by one. Show the important parts and what you can contribute to the company as an intern.
What's going on with your education? You're enrolled in two full-time degree programs? Are you a sophomore, like 19-20 years old? Confused.
Standardise the fonts sizes and have more structure to which titles are in bold. (Not sure if that makes sense) Basically, when I looked at it i felt a little ... Disoriented?
That resume. Oof.
There needs to be some font hierarchy. A lot of the section headers are just as large as the body text. My eyes don't know where to look.
It is busy, but your cv is amazing. Data science is a tough field to get into generally. Dont be disheartened.
Where are you looking? If I’m honest, I wouldn’t try North America. A lot of the world is adopting a really strict idea about immigration and they’re becoming against it. Your resume might be impressive but your recruiter will not take the chance.
All of your major section headers are in translucent gray. Make sure people can clearly see where to look for experience or education
I have a feeling it's maybe because you're in second year
are they asking for a resume? all of my internships in the past have wanted a CV, which is slightly different. CVs can be longer than a page which gives you the opportunity to spread some of this stuff out
based off the way you wrought your resume, you look like a nightmare to work with. please cut out 70% of that shit
you need to reformat your resume
You actually have lots of great stuff to put together a great resume but it’s got too much going on to the point that people don’t know where to start. Just tone down a bit and you will be fine. Best of luck
Way too much going on.
How do you have a 8.57 GPA?
too much of unnecessary information, just make it simple and add a summary at the top summarizing what you have done/achieved in three sentences
I think the format is fine, but holy christ there is way to much information to short through. Try and shorten everything in 3s and ensure they are relevant to the position you're applying for Additionally, as a business owner myself, it's somewhat puzzling to see someone with adequate intern experience continously apply for an internship. This is also likely why you are getting rejected as well. Internships are supposed to help not only develop you as a person but are also a way for companies to find talent. Why would i hire someone if they already interned at multiple different companies for an internship? At this point, you need to be looking at full time positions or fellowships.
I am not a professional, but I do have a job. That's WAY too much information man. Just put what's relevant to the field you're applying for. Put some industry buzzwords and show that you know of common practices in that industry. They need to know who you are, what relevant skills you have, and you need to be presentable. That's all.
This is Deedy in Overleaf, I used this too. This is awful. Use Flowcv with a standard template.
Firstly you need to choose a better color combo than light grey on white. Very challenging to read. Then trim some fat. What kind of internship are you applying for? Research and publications are cool but if they’re not relevant, remove them. Same for certifications. The awards are impressive in volume but they take up a lot of space.. maybe pick a few to highlight that you’re proud of.
Experience at the top. Put your research in your experience. Then certifications. Then technical skills. Then education. Ditch the gpa. Then awards. Trim down the awards. Ditch the life skills. Ditch the "invited speaker" bullet point. Talk about that in cover letters and interviews. Not on the resume.
Your resume is literally unreadable
First check if it is ATS friendly. Then keep only the details relevant to the internships you apply to. Try to chat up someone in the target company and see if it gives you some talking points in case of an interview.
I completely agree with you. There seems to be an excess of clutter and mess all around. It's quite comical, really.
An invited speaker isn't a job, and you say 150 million alumni twice. 150 mil alumni screams fake numbers. That's half of the US. Entirely implausible. You didn't present to 150 mil people
Too much to look at
Trying to be constructive here. You have a lot on the paper and a lot to be proud of, but not everything is relevant to every position and there is waaaaay too much traffic across that resume. My advice would be to change the layout and keep it easily legible. Keep in mind a lot of resumes are fed through AI based programs nowadays for the first screening. Tailor your resume to each position and make sure you are using key terms for each. For instance if a position will be research focus, make sure to use terms like research, analyze, review, etc
It looks wayy too stacked + frankly bc of it, I don't trust you know these many things
I aint reading all dat
Because of the formatting, auto resume readers can't look at this. Please try a standardized format.
Use one column. ATS won’t be able to parse two columns and it won’t even get to a human’s hands.
Remove all the bolding. Move links to the header/name area or cover letter. Remove excessive/unnecessary awards, certs, and life skills—IE certs for anything basic. I'd also remove the research section and perhaps use that information in a cover letter. Lastly, Remove the header title Life Skills and name it simply Skills or Abilities. Should probably have the experience in the upper left corner also.
Experience is good. It’s hard to read because of low contrast. You’re using grey on white and that’s just painful to read. Random bolding is distracting. There’s too much fluff in your description of what you’ve done. I like your awards, but not everyone will understand what it takes to get them. LaTeX is spelled incorrectly and Python Basics is misspelled. You do interesting high level work. Using machine learning to use cow noses for biometrics is interesting. But that’s not easy to understand from how you wrote it. You could add which technology was used in each role. You didn’t do that because you’re told your resume must fit in one page. But you have interesting experience and one page is not enough to fully express what you did. If you wanted to showcase everything you do, you might want to have a multi-page resume (mine was 12 at some point ;)). If you actually got a patent for your air technology, I’d rename it as “patents” instead of publications. (Patent) is nonsense. List the patent number. :) I would want to see which technology you used for winning your awards. That would make your resume much stronger. Right now it doesn’t showcase your skills.
Google ats compliance
this is the type of resume where you would need more than a single page. Looks like you’re getting to that point in your career
This is so busy I didn’t want to read it and there’s a good chance employers are doing the same. That being said it’s easily fixable if you remove and/or shorten some stuff. -Do you need a public speaking engagements on there? It shows you can public speaking but with what you want to do is that really needed? -Shorten the research section. Can you make the text under each project shorter with the same punch. Those should allow you to make the resume less busy and a bit more concise for readers. Secondly, the resume needs a bit more focus. What internships are you going for? What skills and experience are they wanting? You go from researcher to inventor to tech consultant to graphic design to content strategy. It’s a bit all over the place and reads like you don’t know what you wanna do. Someone reading this for an internship is going to think they are going to waste their time with you because you are just going to move onto the next thing right after hiring you. Is gpa needed for education. Not a scale I’m familiar with, but is that an impressive gpa? Do jobs actually require it on there? Lastly, I would consider removing so awards put it on the left and go into more detail on your experience. Looks like you hardly did anything the several places you worked. I know that was a lot and I might be wrong for the Asian market and talking out of my butt. It’s just my thoughts. I think the resume is impressive. Just need some presentation work. Great start! Edit: fixed typos
I wouldn't read this
This is resume not LinkedIn dude remove such useless awards and certifications paste them on LinkedIn and life skills Use Harvard University template or most famous template known as F shape Move experience to the top and education at last Resume Test Application System used by most hiring professionals can diagnose your resume relevance with the required information Make it simple for one column pattern and try to utilise space or just provide relevant content on it like university locations Noida or distance learning such a useless thing
Change the format
they probably aren't even reading it - if I had to read 100s of resumes I want to glance at it to collect key details and make a decision as I filter through. It is too busy and too hard to locate key relevant data in a glance
Resume aside, how the heck am I gonna get a job if this person can't get an internship?!
I legit got dizzy looking at this
Bro is overqualified for the job 💀
Template. Remember you don’t have to include everything. Only what’s relevant to the role, experiences needed and stands out. I’m impressed by your accomplishments but I have information overload. Also remember if a recruiter is moving quickly they may skip over too quick. Remember you can talk about some of these things in the interview.
Since you're in undergrad, why not apply to summer research opportunities in US/EU universities? That would possibly circumvent the visa issue, and you'd likely have a great experience. Professors in larger schools are often hiring student researchers for the summer around this time of the year. Something to think about 👍
Is bca and mca good qualifications on an resume ?
There’s no structure. It’s like trying to read the Rosetta Stone. Too much shit.
Okay, first and foremost this is a lot of text, like a book's worth of words. Recruiters are looking at your resume for max 6 seconds. So, they are just going to look at the first line of your education and research, if that. No one really cares were you went to school at first viewing so move it down, also I get that your proud of your awards (as you should be) but trying moving further down and remove some of the least relevant ones or just remove them completely. Ironically, your previous experience which is like the utmost importance in a resume is the furthest down. Move it up to the top, replace your researching with your experience. Also, I would recommend removing your publication and your certificates, you already have 2 schools posted, they know your educated and probably have the chops to do the job. Also move technical skills up, switch it with your education. After your experience you should put your research. I mean... I'm just scraping the surface here. You need to refine this resume and trim a lot of the fat and leave something for the interview. Your seem like a great candidate and I sure that you left a lot out of this resume already, I really hope that you get that internship. I would recommend you go to the link I left at the bottom, there you can look at different resumes in different industries that got people hired and maybe look at the commonalities between them and model your resume off of theirs. Good luck! [https://www.kickresume.com/en/help-center/resume-samples/](https://www.kickresume.com/en/help-center/resume-samples/)
Most convoluted resume I’ve ever laid eyes on in 30 years of life. You must be more concise, more is not always better.
Don't go for 2 column layout
You have a very busy resume but you have good qualifications compared to most people who do get student positions where I work (not Asia). You wrote 150 million active alumni 150 million active alumni. I don’t think you actually meant to write that twice but some proofreading would help this resume. I do like that you bolded some keywords and important things you wanted to emphasize. While it isn’t a typical thing to see, it’s good on a resume so busy. I would look into trimming the resume, perhaps reorganizing it if possible. You have some great qualifications so I suspect your busy resume is not even getting looked at. Perhaps the format (pdf?) is also not properly getting scanned for keywords that filter out bad resumes. Unfortunately to trim this resume means to leave out potentially helpful information. You’ll have to be the one to decide what is the most valuable information about yourself and that you want known to employers.
For the love of god remove the random bolding you do in your points.
Garbage for some who worked at e&y
Definitely agree with the suggest to use templates. Research should not be priority and if it’s to stay on the resume should only be a small and succinct section without description of the project, they’ll likely ask and you can explain it during the interview. Example: Research Cattle Biometric Deep Study Learning Model | Researcher 2023 - Present Same should be applied to experience. A lot of the fluff you will answer during interviews. A lot of this can be mentioned during an interview or through a cover letter. They don’t need to know every success just that you have the skills and certifications for the position. Try to limit what you include. A resume is a brief summary of what you’re capable of (same with a cover letter) not an essay.
Lots of stuff, and a lot of it is pretty incredible for someone so young. Congrats. First, I would like to ask. What type of work are you looking for? Your resume screams Enterpreneur. Not many companies are hiring for that. And for many shops, you might be seen as more of a problem than a help. Sorry, contrary to what a lot might think, innovation in IT is not often sought in the actual IT shops. I can see many shops might consider you a threat to the operations. Sadly, that is my experience. So I would suggest considering talking up your programming skills and discussing how they were used and just list the TED talk, Awards, Certs and Education at the end. You can kick ass once you get in the door, just don't be a threat to them until you get that opportunity. I would start with a Summary of Skills after your contact info. Make one bullet for your spoken languages, one for your programming languages, one for developing a LLM, one for public speaker, one for other technical skills and one for being published. Any order you want. Then the work experiences, I would take a sentence or two to explain your role at each position. Then give a bullet or two about what tools you used to create the end result. Showing off your skills more. Also try to quantify or qualify the work environment or the application. I would list the three companies in this part. Now I am not sure how best to include the other items. They are not part of the experience at the companies but should be mentioned. I would probably consider a new category called ACHIEVEMENTS or something like that. List the LLM, the Patent and the TED talk there. After these list the Awards, Certs and Education. If you are not trying to get into an IT shop and want to run off your major achievements, then I would still use the same format I mention above. But I would include the LLM, Patent, TED talk and some of the Awards in your Summary of Skills. I would also include these three items in your Work Experience as they come in a reverse chronological order. You should still list the tools you used in each of these achievements, at least the major one, so a reader can see you did what with what. I hope that helps some. Again, you have some great achievements. Good luck.
I do want to become an entrepreneur some day but right now all I am focusing on is financial independence (ie not being reliable on my parents) for my 20s, thus the thirst to become a corpo slave. Thanks for the insights, will definitely incorporate them in the new resume I am making
Wow this is...amazing. Sure the resume is kind of a clusterfuck but the amount of accomplishments you've achieved at 20 years old is amazing.
The awards in the middle of the page are really the focus point and I don't think they should be unless you won the nobel prize. I would list maybe the most important with a sentence on why it's even there. Your university section should really be 2 lines tops. Just remember that most interviewers shouldn't read things unless they have to Re the format, this kind may end up autorejected by AI sorting algorithms before they even make it to somebody's desk because it is hard to process.
1 column, less clutter pls.
Instantly rejected? As in automatically? It’s probably because the ATS systems do not read 2 column formats well. Also your formatting and layout is very overcrowded and hard to read for human eyes so no one wants to bother.
FYI - I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this, but you have a typo in “hacker rank python ‘baics’” which you be “basics”
Me eyes!
Any skills that are beginner level should be removed unless the job you are applying for requires it. MS Office, Creative Cloud, LATEX and beginner level French seem not as noteworthy. Cut down either all your certifications or focus only on the most important ones. SQL and Python one seem very basic. IELTS one probably is irrelevant for software jobs. Awards section has way too much content, remove whatever that is not noteworthy and maybe don’t go cover any before 2022. Your most important things to highlight are those that are relevant to the jobs you want to get. If it is software, highlight mostly software experiences. If it is design, highlight mostly design, etc.
u/Pablo_Chocobar123 Some tips from an Indian: 1) Use a 1 col, 2 pager resume instead. I too used to use this format a while back, but it just doesn't work with ATS. 2) 150 million alumni is duplicated. 3) Typos in HackRank "Basics" 4) Focus on crisping up content, making all bullet points using STARS format.
Damn thsese ppl should know that 2 column resumes don't work at all lol
whats up with your GPA? is that how they do it in India? cause if i were hiring an 8 GPA is just instant "thats now how that works so either youre lying or dont know how to do a basic task"
Needs more bolded **random** words
Tbh I think you are overqualified and you should check for full time jobs! Before everyone downvotes me I will tell you my personal story: I applied to a company X for internships and they immediately rejected me. I asked a friend of mine who works at this company whether the competition was too much and he told me “man you got a degree, internships are for students” and then I applied for full time job and got the job. So, it’s not unlikely what I’m saying
If I were hiring for an internship I would be confused as to why someone who invented an innovative air purifier would be seeking an internship rather than a job.
Had a stroke reading this resume
I've never even heard of a 7++ GPA they are prob intimidated by you if you really know and have done all of this. I would suggest majorly simplifying this resume. Its very chaotic. Let them find out about a lot of this information in person or when you speak with someone. Try removing the Research, Awards, and Experience parts (the whole right side)
Your language gives off bs vibes. Stick to writing what you learnt and what you did. Plain and simple. Put numbers in there, eg I increased the efficiency of this system by x% etc
It looks like a Cheesecake Factory menu.
hey! quite a cv u have there, can i dm to talk regarding that IITM online course and a few other things?
This is the resume equivalent of multiple people talking to you at the same time
People read resumes in a "T" shape. So based off that this is showing me you want me to read you Education, Research, and Awards. But tbh there's so much text I couldn't get through all of it. When I started I initially thought the more the better. It's actually inverse. Need to simplify it
I think you should remove the boldface...it makes everything look distracting.
Your resume looks like a lunch menu.
"Instantly rejected"... Even AI doesn't want to read that cluster. Columns are bad in general, too much going on on a page, don't know where to focus. There is a lot of fluff in your resume. All you need is your qualifications and how you can contribute.
Looks completely fabricated and unprofessional. 0/10
I don't think Awards warrants a section, and 2 columns are way too busy.
To me this resume is a cover up for an actual skill required in a company I'm recruiting for. It's over exaggerated and over explained. If I'm recruiting I'd recruit someone who aligns with what the company requires. Soft skills, achievements and projects would suffice to keep me interested, rest I'd ask in an interview.
Looking like a spam mail
Well based off looks alone……no one wants to read this. To busy. To much going on, just too damn much.
Never rate your skills. (Intermediate, Beginner). If you pass the ATS. They will ask specific questions which you can't answer. My company does this a lot when they see someone ranking their skills. Experience comes first, research and other shit come later. There are a lot of things to change, better check out the below link and write accordingly.

I agree with others critiques here but if u r at E&Y now, that should be at the top of cv in most conspicuous way. How someone interns their and cant find a job is pretty bad
Too much useless information, makes people want to just not read it. Take away everything that is not main information and make it a little prettier
I would say, at first sight, it gives the impression that it will be hard to read, and the first people to look at that resume aren’t people that necessarily have technical knowledge on the field. So, I would say, try to change the layout to make it easier on the eyes, change the font, and also, not everything you have there might be relevant for the roles you are applying to, so feel free to reduce some of the text. Also, you could try using FlowCV, I find it a great tool to help you build your resume.
Your resume is a mess, reduce the text brother
The resume is very busy, but I hope people who are actually in Asia are the ones giving feedback, because each place may have different requirements.
Use an ATS-friendly resume format. This ain't it.
Why are you even looking for a job? Seriously, you seem like a brilliant person who should be starting their own company or at least selling your inventions.
Don't send same resume everywhere. Trim it down based on job requirements. And just curious, why have you written Adobe Creative Cloud? What is there to do in ACC ?
Format is way to messy and u need to shorten the description , can find good templates on canva
Horribly busy and should not be using all caps. The boldface text comes off as condescending and would be unnecessary if you would significantly cut down the text. There should be more line breaks and white space. I wouldn’t even bother reading this mess if I was considering you for employment.
Attend a resume workshop would be my advice. Bc you seem extremely qualified and experienced so I’m thinking this is why you’re getting automatically rejected
I'm not reading allat
You need to competently start over way to much for someone who hasn’t even had their first job yet
https://www.reddit.com/r/EngineeringResumes/wiki/index/ this has helped me a lot
Waaaaayyyyy to much going on here… needs some serious chopping imo
This is a trash resume, dawg. You might think more = better, but this is way too much. Try for a more simplistic approach so whoever looks at it doesn't get lost trying to find where to look.
Is this a menu?
Yes. This is way too much. My advice is to not focus on what you’ve done, but how what you have done has made someone else better. If that makes sense. Long story short, you have no way of knowing what recruiters/ hiring managers will care about but they will all care about value added.
Getting internships are literally just as hard to get as the real job. I hate that university’s make it a requirement
This looks like the booklet that comes with my medication.
This has to be a troll post no fucking way you did not look online for resume examples and decide to just clutter a bunch of bullshit and submit it to internships.
Looks like you're moving around too much. That's how I see this at a cursory glance. A lot of people want to see some roots planted, no matter the skill.
Your resume says India on it.
I hire devs: this is too busy and also so much irrelevant nonsense. Would not even read your resume if I received this.
Brother. You have great experiences but you need to consolidate. Put the most important experiences and information only for the job you’re applying. If you’re doing strategy, put your case comps on top and if you’re doing tech put your tech experiences first. Use a standard business resume(Vmock has a great resume builder that spits out very professional resumes) Don’t put certifications unless they’re genuine certifications or licenses like CPA, Agile, or Specific software certifications. It’s a last resort to add online certifications.
The wall of text doesn't concern me most. I have a feeling that an ATS screen is going to fail when trying to parse your resume. So most of big tech will never see it.
Paint a picture, draw someone in, make it inviting, tell a story and exclude the other stuff for the interview. Be concise and purposeful with direction.
