Roast my resume — final year CSE, 2 projects, no internship. What's missing?
Final year CSE student, applying for SDE and analyst roles. No internship (couldn't get one). I have 2 projects and decent CGPA. Honest feedback wanted — what would make you reject this at a glance?
Current structure:
- Header: name, phone, email, GitHub, LinkedIn
- Education: CGPA, college, 12th/10th marks
- Projects: 2 (a web app and a small ML model)
- Skills: a long list of languages and tools
- Achievements: a couple of coding contest ranks
Specific questions:
1. Is "no internship" a dealbreaker for SDE roles, or do strong projects cover it?
2. Should I cut down the skills list? It's currently about 20 items.
3. Is a one-page resume still expected, or is two pages fine for freshers?
Drop your honest critique — I'd rather hear it here than get silently rejected.
