+1 to the above. Your most important work is your network. No matter how polished or stacked your resume is, it’s still just a piece of paper unless you’ve made yourself a real person attached to it.
I agree with this! And well said. Thats why I always include hobbies and interests on mine. Most of the time that’s where we end the conversation
You need to network heavily. It’s difficult to differentiate yourself based on resume alone. I recommend working full time if you can handle the work load. I did that while doing my masters and it’s benefited me a lot. I got a 50K increase in base due to my experience and qualifications. I also recommend trying to get as much exposure to your professors and doing any volunteer work where possible. I had three opportunities to do student consulting projects which are unpaid and they have helped a lot as well in expanding my opportunity base
