Ask HN: What should an undergraduate resume look like?
So, long story short, I have a lot of stuff [1] to put on my resume and I have clipped most of it to fit all on one page. But now my resume looks crappy and unpleasant [2]. I still have more to put in but there's no space at all.
So what does an undergrad resume look like? How much should I put in there and how to fit it all in there?

- maxbrown 12y agoI don't think it looks crappy, though there is a lot on there. I of course haven't seen the previous longer version but I prefer the one page. Quick feedback - say "Projects" instead of "Side Projects"... don't de-value them off the bat. Shorten Research Experience section (less text) unless applying for a research position. Do you need relevant coursework section? Mostly assumed in a CS degree, isn't it?
