[Student]-Not getting past resume screen or getting interviews, 2026 new grad, need honest feedback
Hello, I'm currently a new grad at a non-target that will begin an on-campus masters program at a top 5 this fall. Luckily, I will be part time and conducting research under faculty so I will be able to work in the city the school is located in. I started new grad recruiting last October up until now and have only passed one resume screen, a first round interview and a technical phase before failing the final technical. I am looking for someone to brutally grill my resume and give me pointers for next grad cycle and internships. I am also a US citizen.
- Applying to new grad and internships
- Roles are entry level cybersecurity or software development, more specifically defensive cybersecurity and malware analysis and full stack development respectively.
- Targeting any industry, don't care about FAANG+ etc
- Located in Southeast US, willing to relocate anywhere including overseas
- Applying to local, remote and hybrid, open to all three
- Current situation is poor, not passing resume screens or getting interviews, have had a few OAs here and there
- Seeking fine tuning and complete revamp if needed
