Can anyone please tell me what's wrong with this resume? I have applied for more than 40 internships, and all I see is "unfortunately" in the email box. I will be starting my 3rd year of B.Tech.
I also applied for research internships in institutions like IIT and NIT. Still no response. Many of my batch mates with zero experience in programming and other technology related stuff landed internships.
Please tell me if there is anything wrong with this resume?

How good or bad your resume may be, these days you need to follow 1000:100:10 ratio (apply in 1000 places to expect a reply from 100 places and out of which 10 may be positive leading to an interview/OA).
Pro-tip: Don't shy to work in low-paying internships or a research internship just to get that work experience/internship area filled. The job market doesn't have enough jobs.

Dont put an text editor as an dev tool , to much skills resume should be job specific like You have c++ in skills but no project for that same for c# , I think you mostly specialize in ai and web dev so keep stuff related to that only, if you are applying for cpp jobs create a new resume for that job with that info

Don’t compare yourself with others, bro. I’ve seen people with zero skills land internships and end up building basic stuff like calculators there. Getting shortlisted by a good company takes time. just stay consistent.

put skills section at the top followed by experience , ollwed by projects , the recruiter doesnt have so much to read the full resume show him what he wants to see . dont put a lot of skills be specific what you know and what you dont if he catches you in interview lying about you dont and putting it in resume you ll be obvi eliminated

Nothing wrong , market is tough !!

Too much information to read as a fresher resume. Leave something for interview intro. Recruiters looks resume for 5-10 seconds,

Tailor your resume according to internship job description, mention only skills required for that internship
Highlight keywords.

That is alright if you are getting any responses don't loose hope you will find one for sure
I would suggest you to put education column below the project section. Hope that helps

From my experience of applying, i would first of all suggest to remove the certification section. I would highly recommend you to be skill specific to a particular domain, you are not here to be fruits vendor. Be specific about the skills you have and also keep in mind to tailor your resume for every internship you apply too according to the Job Description present.

Nothing ,you don't finish your Brave

Hi Fishes,

Does anyone know about TE-DL Data Platforms Team/Project in KGS. My joining date is 11th April and I will be part of this team.

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA. But in my current position, we’ve been adding quite a few new projects (and our team is partner, two staff, and me) that will probably start over the next couple of months. I don’t think my boss has any idea I’m looking to leave - anything I should do to not feel guilty about potentially leaving them short staffed with a ton of work? Is this something you think about when looking to leave?
