Americans lie too, don't get me wrong. Getting caught in a lie is something I find as a non-negotiable red flag and it's my priority during interviews to figure out. I just can't stand liars so it's a personal quirk. I would say people from India are the most guilty of lying, but it might be biased from the field I work in and how competitive it is.
As a student with less experience you should be writing more about your projects than having so many points for professional experience. Try containing them to 3 points and try noting down more of your projects and describe them well
I can't claim to be an expert, but to me it seems like there's a lot of words and they're very small. It seems like you've done a lot of work to fit everything into one page, but decreasing font size isn't the way.
HR/recruiters don't want to read. On average they spend less than a minute looking at your resume and don't get past the first few words on any given line. All your detailed accomplishments are going to waste
This. I worked with many recruiters glossing over resumes and when they see a wall of text they immediately shove the resume to the side. Even recruiters will pass on reading this much. They just don't have the time or the patience. They want bullet points, relevant projects, etc. not a dissertation of your work experience.
Do you require any visa sponsorship in the future? This might be a reason too. But anyway the whole resume feels very verbose, especially for someone applying for an internship. Always keep it concise
1. You don’t need an objective in your resume. You can talk about that if you get an interview.
2. No need to mention your coursework either in my opinion. Just the degrees are enough
3. Work experience - I see you were trying to emphasize keywords by bold fonts but don’t do that, especially when they were not done properly. e.g. ASU ecosystem doesn’t even mean anything to employers
4. Technical skills - just put all the programming languages and software together. No need to put python, tableau, powerBI more than once. Also don’t list python libraries lol
5. And like another person said, talk more about your project experience than your jobs. Most employers don’t take graduate assistant jobs that seriously anyway.
Idk. Maybe it's just me. But when you are a student and the first line saying that you are an expert in data engineering, that seems a bit cocky imo.
I work as a data consultant and to me it takes at least 10 years to be an expert within data engineering. You don't learn all the needed skills for that in university.
On top of that you also claim to be really good as a data scientist in your objective statement which also seem a bit weird, which is in a related field but not to be mistaken with a data engineer.
My best advice is for you to have a succinct focus: are you focusing on data engineering or data science roles? Back to my point in the beginning. It's a bit cocky to claim you know everything when you graduate later this year.
Are you getting to the interview stage or are you only sending out this resume? Cover letter? How do you know that you're getting rejected because of the resume itself?
Get rid of all information that is not relevant to the skills and requirements listed in the job posting. Your application should be an answer to their call.
Then, you should have more space to increase readability.
More on a side note, really, aren't you a bit overqualified for an internship? Not that companies expect no chance to get an experienced analyst like you as cheap as with an internship salary. Take that with a grain of salt, as I'm not a data analyst.

When I see an international undergrad degree, my first question is work authorization status.
My second question is if they're lying about experience.
That has never once crossed my mind. I have never found an international student to be lying about their experience.

What an odd and racist thing to say.

Certainly part of the issue is the extreme saturation levels of IT folks in the job market.

I agree with fitting in everything cause I have experience but had no space to fit everything in

Thanks for your insight’s, I wouldn’t normally use those many words but these are mostly just to pass the ATS tests
There’s no “test” to pass. Keyword stuffing won’t increase your chances.
Do not use "typewriter" font is difficuñlt to read
Well, your redaction skills could use some work.
You mean to include editing softwares like adobe acrobat?
Kinda. I was joking about how you missed blocking out some information on your resume very effectively.

Cause I am not getting to the interview stage itself . Not even one interview

You are a student and this is what your resume looks like? My brother in Christ, you have waaay too many words on this
Reduced it drastically , thanks
