Thank you for your feedback! version 2.0: https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/67bb311d67f76dcd74318b7671bf4d9220140623052441/8c25322021a417099b3a0dd1a43402fc20140623052441/74b6f0 https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/67bb311d67f76dcd74318b7... 1. Added your suggestion. Not sure if the format(can only write capital letters because it's a subtitle) is the right one. 2. Considered mataniko's suggestion and removed "side projects" part from the header. I listed projects that I've done(they are mostly university assignments with the extra mile). I have limited experience with HTML, had to do an assignment involving PHP and I'm really ashamed of the result. It will do more wrong than good. All the listed projects have a private repository on Bitbucket. Currently I'm not comfortable making them public, but after my finals I will take some time polishing them for publishing. I'm not sure if I worded correctly the descriptions of the projects(particularly "build with Ant...etc...managed with Git" part). I want to show that even if I developed them alone, I am rigorous using source code management and automated build software/systems(even if nobody asked me to). I'm not sure if I achieved this purpose. I swapped "Technologies" part with "Familiar with". I'm not sure if it's the right thing. I'm not particular interested in getting a internship only in Java or C. I would like to broaden my options. I like Python, ASM, VHDL, Common Lisp, Prolog and others even if I've only done trivial things in them. I'm more like "the right tool for the job" guy, but also at the right time(i.e. I avoid PHP as much as possible because it breeds a wrong way of doing things and I'm too inexperienced to avoid common mistakes - later, having more experience maybe I'll reconsider my choice). Could you suggest a way of finding the companies that appreciate the spirit of learning new things, considers applicants even if they don't have enough experience yet? 3. Dropped everything below university(details in 4.). Added expected graduation year. I don't know if describing what I'm learning here adds any value(also that would take more space and it will pass the 1 page suggestion from mataniko). Fairly standard - Algorithms, Data structures, OOP, Operating systems, functional programming, image processing, system theory, hardware/logical design, embedded systems(mips,avr), Computer architecture, etc... 4. My mother tongue is German, but I'm born and live in Romania. Previously listed education has shown that I studied at a German school. Now studying in English and most of my relatives living in Germany and not speaking daily anymore, my German is a little rusty, so I changed it to "fluent"(managing expectations). I added Romanian though being a Romanian citizen is self-explanatory. 4'. Removed professional skills. 5. Removed others. 6. Removed references. You may notice I didn't took every single suggestion into consideration and I hope I didn't insulted you having done that. My apologies if it may seem ungrateful. I really appreciate taking your time writing your suggestions down. Maybe I'm wrong and need more persuading:)

Definitely an improvement but at the end, as someone who reviewed countless resumes I find it shallow. By the time i finish reading about your experience I should want to know more. Or at least know enough to take you into consideration. Since you don't have the traditional "worked at X for Y time and made Z" experience you really want to tell a story here. For example, the first two items have a lot of redundancy and can be combined and speak about how you built a bank application using all of those technologies. If you can put a link to github repositories of these projects thats even better. Some of the stuff listed is very basic, and thats ok since you don't have the experience yet. But why even put it? Use those precious lines to expand on meaningful stuff you've done and proud to show off. The line about Tor Isolation Proxy is great, the one about CLI Books management is tiresome. Is there a particular internship you're targeting? Do you have a side project you can work on in case that doesn't work out, or as additional experience towards a related internship?
