No hard feelings but I hate the design, it looks like it's straight out of 2002. If you are OK learning to tinker with LaTeX, there are some great and professional looking templates here:
Remove "Phone", "E-mail", and "GitHub". Remove the https:// from your GitHub URL. Remove the entire "Recent graduate from My university....." paragraph. Spell out your months instead of digits and right align them like this resume https://www.docdroid.net/lPgk5GJ/resume-anonymous-pdf. Remove the icons. Remove your Food Science bachelor's. Don't rate your proficiency for your skills. Have one line for Languages and another for Tools/Frameworks. Rename Programming Projects -> Projects. Add some margins to your resume. Remove Radio-chemistry tech job. Start each bullet point with a strong action verb. Use bullet points for your projects.
Thank you. I actually found the format i use. It’s the one with the blue text with * bold company name * job titles italicized and * experience bulleted. link
Thank you!
And I used the paid version of : https://enhancv.com/
It's a pretty nice tool to customize your resume with clean template options.
Good luck on the internship search!
I took my old resume and put into this template. Touched it up a bit, but the one I posted is less refined.
- I can see how I might have italicized too much; I'll see how it looks with only company names/nothing italicized. Underlining probably won't be removed, since they're links (but you can't click on the hyperlinks since I posted an image).
- I originally had them as one long bullet, but I felt like it was too ugly on the resume, so I separated them. Back to the drawing board I guess haha
- Yeah this is fair; will do
To each his own. Goal is to make yours stand out. Colors do a better job popping out titles and sections. Look below for example.

Thanks! I mainly used this template that I found on overleaf but the idea to use the fontawesome icons came from some other templates. I took inspiration from several other resumes, so it wouldn't be a stretch to say that I might have come across yours before lol.
Thanks! Yes, it is latex. I found this template on overleaf and I just made some changes like removing the indentation & adding the icons. For the icons, I used a package called 'fontawesome'.
I tried to make it less wordy, and I added some results of my work for the second position.
Hi, thank you for your critique. I updated my resume based on your critique here. I removed some of the irrelevant skills, dean's list, and three projects (they were smaller approximately 1 month long projects) and instead kept the two larger semester-long projects.
I also added more spacing, used bullet points for the description content, used less bolding, and re-organized the structure (I put the project section after the experience section).
There's enough for me to probably add 1-2 more lines in the descriptions, so which particular part of the updated resume do you think need further descriptions? I don't want to make it too fluffy but if a particular part of my resume seems vague I'd like to fix that.
My honest advice is to abandon this template and use another. See if you can use overleaf. Looks intimidating at first but it is easy to get hand of it especially if you are a CS student.
Here are a few things I will take note of: — Your font size is too big. especially titles like Education, Projects, …
— Avoid using grey font at all
— AWS Certification— if you do not have the certification, then dont put it on the resume. Explaining that you’re on a progress to get it does not really help you stand out to a recruiter.
If you feel like you have experience and maybe at an advance stage in the process of the certification, list it under skills
— projects: you have explained the tech stack you used. Maybe say something about your role and specific tasks and what achievements (is it quantifiable? If yes, then mention them) you made. Eg. Instead of leaving it at “I made an instagram clone” maybe say ——— used ABC database for the instagram clone to store XYZ data. ——— successfully implemented feature ABC allowing users to do XYZ. I hope you get the idea from here on.
— if you know any frameworks in those languages, include then in you skills eg spring boot, java, react

Thank you for the offer. I found the minimalist professional template that has worked best for me. This template has gotten me the most interviews in the northeast (here is the template) from another user's comment. I just needed a starting template.
I am 5+ years into my engineering career, and having had the chance to work on major projects along with a ton of smaller projects. I wanted to invest some downtime I have right now in writing a LaTeX résumé of my prominent work history. So I'd rather spend the time working on the template myself.
It's a latex template, here's the link: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs
That'll be tree fiddy
The three column layout is just confusing, and the middle column might just be merged with the right one. The alignments on the left side are all over the place and looks unprofessional, and the top icons aren't informative so they all could be removed.
Some titles you have "X:" and some "X :", so you need to go over that. The office skills are the least relevant and could be moved to the bottom. Interests could maybe be removed. The first education item has a smaller font title than the rest. In english it might be "Languages" instead of "Idiom". Some sentences have dots, some don't.
All in all 2/5 looks a bit lazy, go through some CV examples see what they do
Look at other templates on this subreddit. I like the following: https://old.reddit.com/r/EngineeringResumes/comments/gydm14/rising_junior_looking_for_swe_internships/ Look at using a LaTex template: https://www.overleaf.com/articles/kevin-ciampaglias-resume/jvpgfvqqgkdd
The company is officially DS SolidWorks however like I said in 2012 when Dassault restructured around the 3D EXPERIENCE product line, they standardised on all uppercase for product names. The only exception to this in the 3D EXPERIENCE product line is I believe Centric PLM since it was only acquired 2 years ago. Based on how they've handled these acquisitions in the past, it too will likely be standardised with time as well.
