I'm a new grad looking for Software Engineering roles in the US and just recently updated my resume. I'm restarting my job search after much needed mental break for some context. I've got a few questions but also please provide any advice you feel necessary. I'll even take some job hunting ones :)
- Does the spacing look ok and readable? I'm using EB Garamond in 10pt font since I thought that would allow for most stuff but also be readable
- Not sure where or how to structure the education section. When i was looking for interships (failed but its ok we ball) I had it at the top, no summary and SE recruiters said the location and relevant courses were fine. but recently I spoke with another industry professional, don't remember if he was a recruiter, but he's never worked in tech and he said that I should move the section down since I've already graduated and my experience is most important. If that's the case, is the relevant courses even necessary since I have a minor? No other recruiter or industry professional has mentioned this.
- i took it out for this but I am considering adding this to my activities and leadership. For internship apps, recruiters reacted positively to this since its different and made me "well rounded" but do full time and new grad roles care? Rn the bullet point falls off page but i could shorten something somewhere else to fit it, just weighing what's important:
- Treasurer of Korean Language Table September 2021 – April 2024
- Cofounded and served as Treasurer for Korean Language Table, managing a $600 annual budget to organize monthly activities for 20+ weekly participants, resulting in 40% membership growth
