That's a lot easier to "consume" for me. The formatting/etc on the text file is just a bit much. When I try to "review" someone's resume, I find it almost impossible to only review for content. Presentation is so much a part of a resume that I don't think you can separate the layers into "content" and "presentation layer".
Couple of things (all superficial):
1) It doesn't say that you are authorized to work. The spelling of your name is the first thing people see - and their first thought is, "Is he a US citizen, on a visa, or what?" You need to be clear about what you are seeking rather than making people guess.
2) Why are you seeking an internship? Many people seek an internship b/c they hope it turns into full-time work. If that's you, then you might want to find a way to shoehorn something in that makes it clear that you really like this company.
3) The GPA - I'd flip it around so that the 4.0/4.0 is listed first
4) Better filename - include your name. resume.pdf in all lower case shows me that you weren't really thinking very deeply about me once I get your resume.
5) "Software engineering" is such a broad term - you want an internship in "software engineering". Is there a way to make that more specific, possibly for each company's specific needs?
6) Cover letters and targeted responses matter - the resume is only a part of the entire process
Good luck!
- hyunwoona 13y agoThank you. The reason I put the resume in a shared text was to hide my name and identity. For 1, I think it is a good idea, but I do not find the spot to put it. Also, should I write "legally authorized to work during semesters and vacations", or "F-1 Visa OPT/CPT work authorization"? I did 3, 4, definitely should spend more time to do 2, 5, 6. (All the items are very pertinent. Thank you.)
