Resume Advice

Hello everyone! I'm looking for resume advice.

I'm a college sophomore, and in June I start my computer science program.

I realize I'm not competitive for an internship, but I'd like to just apply a bunch anyway with the mindset of "I won't know unless I try" (especially since I see a lot of internships that require only basic programming experience). Also please note that for my last two listed projects I know I haven't included the hyperlinks on them yet.

I would like advice on things like: what should I have included but didn't, what should I not include that I did, wording, formatting, etc. The main point of this post is for me to get some resume practice for the future.

In addition, for people with a background in software engineering I have the following question: I don't start my computer science program until June, but I still have a good bit of programming experience. A lot of my personal projects are related to video games and graphics. While the Unity games on my resume aren't really related to general software engineering I decided to include them because it still shows that I published, updated, and maintained something which I think is important and related to software engineering. Do you feel like my listed projects are relavant to a software engineering internship?

Thanks for your help everyone! :)

Indicating maternity leave on a resume to explain employment gap

My last job before going on maternity leave was a contract role that was not extended during my pregnancy, before I went on leave. It's a long story and I don't want to get into the human rights issue here, but I was still technically employed a few months into my maternity leave because my contract end date was about two months past my due date.

I'm now looking for work, and I want hiring managers and HR professionals to understand why I haven't been employed for the last 18 months when they look at my resume... so I indicated my maternity leave in my employment date for my last job as follows:

Aug. 2021 – Sept. 2024 (maternity leave)

I did manage to land one interview with this on my resume, so I'm not sure if it's a big deal either way. Should I keep "maternity leave" on my resume to explain the employment gap or remove it?

Not getting any interviews

Hey Everyone,

So I'm having a bit of trouble lately. I'm working at a company where i have 3 years of experience now but I'm planning to switch to another company. However my CV doesn't seem to pass the ATS. I've tried applying across multiple companies/ job portals... all are getting rejected at screening stage. I'd got a few interviews after pushing my cv via some mutuals... otherwise no progress.

What can i do. My CV was made in xml and is in a pdf. I ran it thru AI (chat gpt and copilot) which have similar feedbacks and rated it 95/100.

How To Fit More Projects & Certifications Onto My Resume?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to include more marketing-related projects on my resume, as I feel like its still a bit lacking.

Any advice on how to add a "projects" section, and potentially add more certifications as well?

Any advice would help.

[2.5 years experience, software engineer, senior software engineer, Virginia] am I explaining my sabbatical okay?

Everything I wrote for the sabbatical is 100% true but I don’t want my resume to read like a pity novel? Do you think I wrote it well or is it too much?

Revised Resume. Looking for lateral moves back to Corporate or Higher Ed Tech Support analyst roles

Hey all, I have been working on my resume for a long time honesty. I meet with a career counselor recently who advised me use the Key Accomplishments section, which at first I was uncomfortable with, but once I had it written out I hope it works well. I also talked with a hiring manager recently and used some of their advice as well.

I really could use any advice. I am in a job that is a bad fit and have been trying to leave for a year now. I haven't even started applying with this resume yet, so I have yet to know if it will help my chances to get through HR, ATS, AI, etc and finally a hiring manager.

ISO a legal resume writer. I have a professionally written resume that worked well. Now, I'm targeting a specific position and need a service.

​

I have a position but am still open to opportunities. Yesterday, I found my dream job advertised. I want my resume retailored for that single position (I don't need another "general" legal litigation one as I am not actively job hunting).

I used TopResume initially but I've read it can be hit or miss. My experience was a hit but I don't want a crap shoot for this.

I want someone to talk to me, take all my info and material (resume, cover letter), and re-tool my resume AND write my Statement of Qualifications. I can probably do it myself but for a variety of reasons, I'm going to use a professional.

Any recommendations?

I’m looking for advice on improving my resume. I’m graduating in May 2026 and, so far, I haven’t received any online assessments, just automated rejections. My resume scores 84 on Resume Worded, and this is my base version that I tailor for each job description. I’m a fresher primarily applying for SDE and AI/ML software engineering roles in USA.
