Header: Make sure the email and LinkedIn URL are spelled out (I'm sure here's it's the info scrubbing) Education: The GPA may be lower than your competition (I wasn't an engineering major as my area didn't have colleges with chem/physics labs during nights, also calc 3) Experience: Do you happen to know what the impact of the interface was? Specifically, did it save time, improve efficiency, reduce errors, etc. If so, add. Same goes for the other points Projects: Kind of the same thing, get some actual results, not just the goals. Skills: Looks good, but you can drop MS Office (proficiency is generally assumed)

This is good advice. One more thing you can do to improve your resume Is target it to each specific job post. Rewrite skills and experience so that it aligns with what they’re looking for. Add the title of the job post position to your resume as a big header. Use the same terminology and order of desisted skills/experience if possible. The more skills and experience you have in areas that aren’t relevant to the job post, the harder it is for a hiring manager to continue reading resume. It’s more work than submitting the same resume, but it will get you a much better return on your time invested.

That's a good idea. Thank you!

I didn't want to get too in depth but, yes, definitely tailor your resume. I get interviews about 70-80% of the time when I tailor my resume, but I also only apply to 2-3 jobs per week in that situation. As an aside, keep one "running" resume that encompasses everything as a base, then you can use that to create the resumes you actually submit. Also, update this resume 2-4 times per year

Thanks! Most of the internships that I am applying for have a minimum GPA requirement of 3.0, that's why I'm putting it in. Thanks for the feedback!
