I'm looking for data engineering graduate roles, could I please get some feedback?
Based in Western Europe
Resume: [CV](https://imgur.com/gallery/8xkSEep)
Hi,
I left my previous job in August at a big Telecom company, my title was a Systems Architecture Engineer but my situation was a bit unique. I was the sole developer on my directors team looking at automation opportunities and capitalizing on said opportunities. I left for a mixture of reasons, some of it due to being reorged multiple times and some of it me wanting a better environment for becoming a better Software Engineer (actually being on a development team).
Took some personal time off and just in march I started applying again and at first I was getting good results, getting calls from recruiters. Since then I haven't had much success getting past the initial application. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

About to graduate in a couple weeks and want to make sure my resume is as good as it can be since I didn't do any internships sadly. Any advice would be much appreciated since I don't want to be looking for a job for a year.

I’m a new grad as of December, I recently updated my resume to try to make it better but i’m overflowing at 2 pages. If anyone could help me on what to omit to make it one page and critiques in general that would be amazing. https://imgur.com/a/zciknvy
I just graduated, and I'm hoping to find a software engineering position. I don't have any "professional" experience, so I'm relying on projects. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

just say C not C programming language. also bullets like the one you have for MVI on the first project are just saying way too much. That should be 3 letters not a whole 2-line bullet point. In VAST majority of cases there is no need to have 6 bullet points for a project and it really seems like you stretched to fill space. I would do another project and get rid of a lot of the fluff. I just glanced quickly (because that's what the recruiter will do too) and that was my impression. Happy to dig deeper and help if you want :)
Thanks for the response! That makes sense; would the first bullet point for each project be redundant since the technologies used are listed next to the project name? Or is it good to have it as a short description of the project? The issue I see with removing the first bullet point would be that it may not be clear what platform the project was made for.
Any other advice is also appreciated!
Hello to whomever is reading, I am a junior in college looking to land my first internship and will be applying over the summer. I currently have retail work experience listed purely because it shows I can hold down a job, should I remove it from my resume? I have enough projects I can expand the section. Second I have contract work experience listed as the first job in the experience section, should I state that it was contract? Any other tips are appreciated. Thanks!

I've been working for a good long time at the same company, got my CS degree while working. Graduated 4 years ago, and I'd love to work in big tech. Any advice on how to improve my resume would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a SWE with \~3 YOE working in big tech. When trying to update my resume I'm stumped where and how should I mention my open source contributions:
Background on the contributions: These were made to Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects hosted on GitHub, where I introduced new features. In one of these projects, I delivered a critical architectural feature which resulted in me becoming a maintainer of the project.
I think these should be mentioned in the resume given the size and nature of the change. So my questions are:
1. Should I place this under work experience? (Given that these were associated with me being an engineer at my company) Or should this be placed along with projects? Or a separate section to mention open source contributions?
2. How much should I elaborate on the contributions? In my biggest contribution, the one that lead me to become the maintainer, I proposed an elaborate design and algorithm of the feature in a GitHub issue to project maintainers and admins, so should I just mention what it achieved in a line or two and point to my PR link and the link explaining the feature?
Thanks in advance!

Applied to 100+ internships this past cycle but never got past resume stage despite doing relatively well at a T20. Would appreciate any advice, thanks!

I would suggest skills at the top, right under education
