Is anyone willing to provide me with some advice on how I can clean up or shorten my resume? I'm not sure what needs to be cut out, I feel like all of this is important information for a potential employer to see. (second and third pages will be attached in the comments)

Why would you trust humans when a machine reads your resume?

Load it it or ChatGPT and ask it to score it out of app. Then ask for the top 5 things to fix. Fix them then repeat the process. Ask to it to assume the person of the wolf’s greatest resume reviewer for the toughest company in the world.

Surprised you put coursework at the top. If all engineers take those courses is that the most important thing you want to company to know? I want you to know I took thermo.

Couriers for Python is nice but build a utility and add it to your resume. A cert with no entry in experience is meaningless to me. It means you watched video or took a test, neither of which apply to the real world.

Your analysis is weak sep 22- Dec 22. There are no metrics nor insight. Doesn’t seem valuable to me.

First bullet you assisted engineers. How, did you take notes for them and bring them tools or coffee?

The senior design experience is weak. Paste those bullets in and Ask ChatGPT to estimate what a MIt engineer hired by the top engineering firm would change the same bullets so you see what a top candidate puts for their senior design experience.


Honestly I would say this is the same as 80% of other students. It’s not terrible, but if I have 20 seconds to review it, nothing stands out from the 1000 resumes I would read this week.

Goal is to be memorable. Be worth talking about. No college teaches this that I am aware of. That’s a shame.

Glad to chime in, was a CE myself.

Think a new resume template will help, as formatting can improve a lot.

Relevant coursework is only beneficial for when you don’t have things to add, and need to beef it up. This doesn’t seem the case for you so remove.

The technical skills can be addressed with formatting takes a lot of space.

Agreed with Acc 1, For the rest of your bullets you need to show your measurable impact. e.g. think, Did your designs make something more efficient by X %? Did creating the prototypes and helping with 3D printing help with any Y% in cost savings or Z time? You get the gist…

If you need up the other bullets you can reduce extracurricular to 1 bullet and with a new template as mentioned, can make things cleaner.

You can move up the honors & awards, if you win outstanding senior design and engineering excellence can be good talking points along with a solid GPA.

As I said, new template can help a lot, def needs to be shorter. Overall solid resume, very good GPA especially for MechE, just need to show impact more, but I disagree with other post you have some good talking points, all you’ve done and maintained top grades etc…

Good luck.

Coursework if you feel it’s valuable should be a list, since I doubt any recruiter will read it. IMO.

Only go three pages if you have many projects and papers published in school. Your experience for the senior design project doesn’t seem outstanding. Update the bullets to show why you won the award.
