YAResumeT: Any suggestions/tips?

[tfinch2]

My internship at VMware ends in May. They are going to let me know soon if they are going to hire me full time. I want to start applying now at other places if things fall through, which I really hope they do not.

Would the ATOT resume overlords mind taking a look and making suggestions?

Resume

 

[skim milk]

if you're in the ronald mcnair program, don't you have to go to grad school and eventually get your PhD?

Everything should be in the present tense. Bullets under each job that sum up what you did are easier to read than a paragraph. Each job could use more description on what you did along with what tools you used to do it. Otherwise, not bad.

No it shouldn't. He is not currently performing those duties, he did it in the past. As long as he maintains the tense throughout, there is no problem. (OP, make sure to keep everything in one tense)

That's a good resume, though rather bland. It's one that I would want to see, but might pass over. Consider using horizontal rules.

You don't have to. but I never said I was not. I plan on working for about 1-2 years before I make the decision if I want to go to graduate school. If I do go, it will only be for my Master's.

Thanks for the other comments guys!

To each his own. For an aggressive resume see my advice above. You can ask around on this forum for people who used the resumes I edited for them, they all got jobs using my advice.

If we are going for an aggressive resume he needs to remove all of the "also's."

The most aggressive resumes are the ones that demand the job, not the ones that list credentials.
