What do you all think about my resume?
This doesn't adhere to the standard resume format. It lacks professionalism and won't be accepted in ATS or conservative corporate positions for several reasons:
-
Insufficient work details.
-
Absence of quantified statistics in the resume.
-
Lack of bullet points for clarity.
-
Certifications should mention the issuing organization and credentials, not detailed explanations.
-
The overall format is subpar; consider using better templates, and you can refer to the Harvard Resume Guide for guidance.
-
DON'T add introduction
-
The resume is not at all in quantitative terms
-
It's useless to add hobbies
-
So many blank spaces
If not, use chatGPT to atleast describe a few stuff if you are not able to make one.
Thank you for giving a detailed review. I have some more questions/ problems:
- I have a very low CGPA as I failed in 2 subjects in 1 semester (which will recover after the retest).
- I have no work experience or certifications (but have done the prep for one cert).
- I have used bullet points in describing the projects, where else do I use them?
- I am in my 5th semester and I am building this to apply for internships in big companies, what are the standards for resume in that case?

Resume isn't a monologue, for that the employer will conduct an interview, so don't write stuff like intro or such. For else the above links will help you understand the gravity of the situation.
Anonimize karne ka tareeka thoda kejual hai...
That said... The introduction, while heartfelt, I feel you could do away with it. It might end up people questioning you. Like @PresidentBiden mentioned - needs numbers, grades, achievements, impact. They've summarized exactly what I felt
The questions in response to my intro will give me a chance to give them more context about my life and it might help them give better feedback, what am I not getting? Apart from that, can I reach the interview round for intern roles in big companies via this resume (See my reply to biden's post for more context)?
Introspection in hobbies and chatgpt in skills? Looks like you have some more introspection to do
It just never ends.
