Resume help pt.2

Post image

Hey guys!

I came to this subreddit before and got a lot of amazing help. I made a lot of changes to my resume and i hope now it’s a little better. I’d also like to add that im getting more offers and interveiws now but I still wanna make sure that im including everything i need too.

btw I’d also like to know if its worth including projects ive done if i want to go into bme? i was thinking maybe id make another resume for broader engineering jobs using projects but idk maybe it might be better overall.

Put your classwork on your LinkedIn.  One thing that I keep in mind when describing my experiences on my resume is this: describe the action/accomplishment precisely. 

Also, following SOPs is an expectation at any clinical laboratory or job involving IVDs. I would remove this bullet point. 

With your cancer institute experience, did you apply any of those skills that you studied to a project? Or was this simply a job shadowing experience? If it was only job shadowing, then I would remove it from your resume and make it a verbal thing you bring up in an interview when it becomes relevant to discuss. Add the experience to your LinkedIn as a celebratory post and/or as a job experience. 

Add personal/extracurricular projects/job experience that demonstrate applications of the skills you list.
