As we're approaching a new round of graduates I was hoping to get a 'rate my cv' thread going on for those entering the industry

Should I move my address to the end and maybe create a section for interests?

Also I have 2 years experience as a waiter but that seems pretty pointless to put on this

It would be ideal to elaborate on some of your listed skills.

MATLAB should be in all caps.
This isn't an advice board though.

> popsci
it kinda is.

[Anonymous No.7382807]

>>7382804
it's not. its becoming that because the mods suck dick and keep the worst fucking threads up and people respond to dumb shit and awful bait but its not meant for popsci bullshit, we just dont have enough intelligent posters. theres nothing wrong with this kind of thread

>>7382807
do you really think 4chan is the place for intelligent discussion?
I mean sure it happens every once in a while, but we're only a click away from /pol/ and /b/.

Step your game up anon, get a student assistant position or git gud in programming or enjoy unemployment

Your typesetting is off, first point after the line needs 1-2mm more space, and the header 2-3 mm less. Skills & Awards must have the same font and size as the other headers.

I shall do this thanks. This was the intention of my 'personal development' experiences at the end however I shall build on this to make sure they include all the skills I've listed

>>7382748
Perhaps build up a base of relevant independent work or work experience to show you're going the extra mile? Not too sure about other peoples ideas but your layout looks like it could do with improving to make it look more professional

>>7382752
For small 1-2 page files I stick with word. It's only larger projects do I rely on latex. Especially when there's images

>>7382787
Is this good or bad? My line of work is thankfully something I can practice and improve on at home as well as at work and as I enjoy it so much I spend most of my time doing that

>>7382793
Thanks. I've posted on here as I know there's a larger base of 'hard subject' professionals and I'd prefer those opinions over most

>save your introduction/mission statement for your cover letter
>split your technical skills into programming languages, computer software, laboratory equipment, etc
>Matlab should be MATLAB
>professional experience descriptions are a bit awkward. get rid of the fluff and be more straight forward
>the whole resume should be just one page.

I'm an American, so my advice may be irrelevant.

>save your objective statement for the cover letter.
>add GPA if it's greater than 3.0
>cut relevant coursework to 6 courses. make sure those 6 courses are actually relevant
>expand your projects. since you have no professional experience, this is your most important section. give each project a subsection with descriptive bullet points
>get rid of laboratory experience and move that information into projects and skills

just a tip, use sans-serif font for titles, and serif font for the content
