This actually is the simplest and most helpful video for me because honestly, I've been trying to find ways to make my resume good for an internship but I thought it was mainly because of my lack of work experience.
This is a very well done video. Thank you for setting me on the right path. By the way, I am an adult student(nice way to say old guy going back to school). I am currently applying for an internship in the Human Services field and I was baffled on where to start. Until now. Thank you again.
Hey, I saw your freshman resume sample and I'm currently a freshman at Cal Poly right now! Ain't that a coincidence. ;) Thank you for this video, it is extremely helpful!!! It definitely deserves a bookmark on my browser. :)
Glad that I found this! I just wanted a simple idea of what a resume should consist but I couldn't get a proper video for guidance until now. Helped a lot!
Thanks for the comment Alec! Yeah I know looking for those part time jobs is frustrating. I applied to so many places before I got my first one. Keep looking though!
Hardly have I come across a youtube video so useful and well-made as this. I am very grateful to the producer for the endeavor. This is among the most valuable stuff I've come across online.
Thanks for the great video and one you did a while back about other resumes. in my English class we had genre experiments as the teacher called them. and I choose to write a resume since I hadn't done so since high school. I watched that video a few weeks back and wrote it up and received an A! strange how resume format changes, if i remember right you used to include references on the resume. I'm studying electrical engineering and I love every bit of it. in my spare time im making an attiny85 line follower robot and on Xilinx FPGA im trying to make a 8-bit cpu/microcontroller based on the 1975 tms-1000. thanks for the great videos again, i watched quite a few when you compared engineering majors against one another. It really helped solidify that EE was for me and would be something i'd enjoy. as for +Infected Wound comment about EE jobs, here in Utah it's quite easy to get a job. im at Utah State University and 96.5% of Seniors get a job offer before they even graduate. also im getting a CS minor by the end of next spring since it's such a good skill and knowledge to have.
Seriously, dude, you're the best! I just spent my day going through different information to write my first resume. I was still so confused on what to add that doesn't just amount to fluff. This video is so clear and helpful, thank you so much! Now to make it through my first career fair without having a nervous breakdown and it will be all good.
Should I include some relevant pictures to decorate it a bit? I'm not talking about pictures of my work, I would of course put that. But should I take some relevant things from google images, like an airplane diagram, just to decorate if and make it look presentable and attractive?
I personally have never seen that but I did know of people who brought in papers or reports they did to an interview to show the recruiters. Usually it was some big project like their senior project, but not something I've seen on a physical resume.
Should I include high school education and related coursework from highschool? I am unsure of what else to put since I am only in my first semester at college.
No once you are in college you should just be including college coursework. Maybe if you have some AP credit that got you out of a college course then you can include that.
Hey MajorPrep, Do you think employers would be skeptical to hire someone with a bachelors in physics and a masters in engineering? I'm getting my bachelors currently but thinking about engineering after. Would love your input!
I don't see why they would be skeptical at all about that. Shows you have a physics background on top of your engineering background which should be desirable. Not a deciding factor but still a bonus.
MajorPrep thanks for the reply! I ask because if I applied for an engineering position I wasn't sure how they would feel with me not having an ABET accredited bachelor, but thanks that helps!
What is your opinion on internet courses. I plan to spend this summer before I start college taking 6hours of online courses mon-fri. Should I include these courses as long as they are somewhat relevant?
That one I'm not totally sure of and don't want to give a definitive answer. I personally haven't heard of anyone doing that but at the same time I doubt it would hurt your resume by including it. But what recruiters care more about is your college but mostly your experience.
Engineered truth's channel talks about how difficult it is to find a job after college. He basically says that electrical engineering is a waste of time because it wont grow within the next 10 years. Whats your opinion on that? He says that with electrical mechanical and industrial engineering it is hard to find a job.
Yeah I watch all his videos and it's been fun reading comments when he talks about that lol. As a (kind of) short answer I'll say this. Yes there are engineering majors that are losing jobs at least according to the statistics, hard to argue there. Yet for EE, mechanical, and industrial, there hundreds of thousands of jobs just in the US. So that stat doesn't scare me as much. As an EE I get contacted through linkedin about jobs kind of often (like once every month or two) even though I'm not looking. And engineered truth will talk about EE's who still can't find a job after college. You're gonna hear of this pretty much for any major, of people who can find jobs and those who can't. But when it comes to those who can't, I don't know how hard they are trying, or how far they are willing to look. When I was looking for jobs I literally sat on my computer uploading my resume and filling out applications for hours and I did that on and off from November until March of my last year. And I also was looking all over the country, not just in my hometown or home state. I don't think I will ever tell someone to not go into engineering cause of the job outlook unless it gets really bad. Of all my engineering friends ranging from EE's to ME's to IE's and more, I honestly cannot think of one who is unemployed. And to those who are I'm very curious as to why they are.
Thank you so much! It's honestly very discouraging when you have to take these difficult courses and hear from someone that you will have a hard time finding a job. Thank you for your opinion.
