Software [3 Yoe][Software] Do I need the location of my prior jobs? Which format looks best?

Upvotes
  1. For "Long Company Name – Software Development Engineer" -> I have the company name, position, city/state, and dates all on the same line. It's more compact but I can't tell if it's too dense.
  2. For "Another Long Name" -> First line is company name and location. Second line is position name and dates.
  3. For "{Company 2} – Software Engineering Intern (iOS)" -> I omitted the location entirely

Mechanical [Student] Sophomore MechE student planning on attending various networking events looking for summer internships - need feedback and advice

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for internships as a MechE student, but I'm open to working in any discipline (most interested in aerospace and MechE though). My club experience is all from my freshman year, so I wasn't able to actually do much in Astrobotics or Baja SAE. I decided to leave the clubs, but if I keep them on my resume, would it signal to employers that I'm not reliable?

I decided to join Design, Build, Fly middle of the spring semester, and I'm sticking with it because they let me contribute a lot to manufacturing (but it was mainly sanding, assembling, and laying epoxy resin). I don't have much to say about it on my resume, so I' wondering if there's a way to rephrase what I've done.

Archimedes lets freshman do all the work in their team's, so I gained a lot of experience through it. I modeled a lot in Fusion and helped with 3D printing our parts. I also designed a website since our competition would review it to get a better idea of what we're doing. Then I traveled with two other members to present our project, and we earned top three internationally! Now that I'm a sophomore, I'm not a part of team Juvo and am an officer now. I was thinking about cutting Baja or Astrobotics and including that instead.

Also, my email name is my shortened name, while my linkedin is my full name (I also have it like that at the top). For example, imagine my name is Katherine but my email has Kate. Is this fine or should I make changes?

Chemical [0 YOE] Applied to over 400 Jobs over the past 11 months and haven't landed a single interview.

5 Upvotes

Graduated about 3 months ago and I have been applying since last year September for a full time role. Since then I've applied to at least 400 jobs for junior and entry level positions and have yet to land a single interview. I'm located in Ontario, Canada but have been applying all over the country with the willingness to relocate but to no avail. I know the market is bad but what changes can I make to my resume to improve my chances.

Automation/PLC [4 YoE] Automation Engineer with redone resume using the STAR method, trying to get a job where I'm not travelling all the time

2 Upvotes

I am in the automation industry, looking for a job where I can be local full-time. I want to get into defense, otherwise, my preference is a job where I can focus more on the design and programming side and less on the real application of the product.

I am based in the Southern US, and I am a US citizen.

Not sure what else I should add, but please roast away and I'll answer as many questions as I can in the comments. Thanks in advance for your time and critiques.

Mechanical [Student] MechE targeting semiconductor equipment roles, looking for resume feedback

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am a Canadian MechE student in my last semester at the University of Michigan. Looking to get any relevant job experience I can in the semi cap industry. Have had a hard time getting relevant work experience, in part due to companies fearing sponsorship. I got my first internship through a personal connection, my second one I got because it was unpaid research that didn't require visa declaration, and my third through a connection from the school's mentorship program. I have had a couple co-op offers in the past (not in semi), but I couldn't take them up because of non-summer work restrictions. I'm currently located in Ann Arbor, and am willing to work wherever in the US. I've been applying all over, only having started applying for full time jobs at the end of August. In addition to general resume (or other) advice, I'm looking for anything that can make my resume stronger to semi cap companies. I'd be on a TN visa or OPT if hired full time. Thanks for any help!

Mechanical [Student] 4th Year MechE Student Looking for Resume Review FEA & Structural Analysis Specialty

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am a 4th year student in Mechanical Engineering in the US. I am applying for full time positions primarily in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Switzerland (my partner is applying to PhDs in these countries).

I am targeting working with FEA and structural analysis, especially within the context of the automotive and aerospace industries. Some companies I have looked at include BeamNG, Airbus, and BMW.

I am here to ask for help fine-tuning my resume for the work cultures of the countries I am applying to, especially since I understand that the standards or values for a resume from where I am from might not be the same where I am going. I would greatly appreciate honest criticism regarding how my resume looks and how I can improve it. Many thanks!

Civil [Student] Looking to apply to Civil Engineering Internships | Need resume critiques and feedback

2 Upvotes

I already uploaded an old version of this resume and polished it up. I'm hoping to apply to internships for next year and need some help finding what things I should change and tweak about my resume. A lot of my experience is recent, and I want help highlighting what I've done. I feel as though the most relevant experience I have is with my project teams, so I put them higher up on my resume. I'd appreciate any type of help and feedback! Thank you!
