To put it simply, I am currently a Physics major at UCSB. I have a lot of engineering friends and I am currently spending the summer doing school to get ahead of the Physics program here. Yet I came to a bit of a realization, a lot of people within my University and outside of it are spending...
TL;DR Summary: gap in my resume :(
I'm not sure how to address this, but i have a 2 year gap in my resume because of psychosis.This all happened after graduation. How do I make my way into the computer science industry like this?
Changing jobs for the first time in a decade is requiring me to have an up-to-date LinkedIn profile.
All my previous content is gone. I guess it expires?
Anyway, I should be able to upload a PDF and have it auto-populate my profile - but that function does not work as expected.
Here is what I...
I am about to start applying to different graduate schools in my country (India) for pursuing a Masters in Physics. Unfortunately, very few Indian universities actually want a resume, and offer admission based on competitive exams only. Nevertheless, I am updating my resume and keeping it ready...
While running a long calculation in a cell, you can do Evaluation > Interrupt Evaluation. A dialog box appears, offering the option of starting a subsession.
But it's not clear how to close the subsession and resume the original calculation. I couldn't find anything on the net.
Hello Friends,
Can someone please provide some advice on how I should list my education on my resume? I know typically you are supposed to list your education in chronological order. This also typically aligns with the degree order as well (Associates, Bachelors, Masters, PhD). I went back to...
Referencing this resume template, do you know how to delete the \entry field (dates) within the rubric (so that the text will align left without indentation)? I only want this for one rubric, but am unsure how to do this.
Thanks so much!
Will they resume to a regular season or straight to Playoffs? and when?
Unfortuanately for me my team NJ Devils won't participate in this playoffs, hope for next year!
Hi
I wrote a code in a specific topic, for example, Molecular dynamics
How can I state it in my resume?

"Molecular dynamics simulation of water transport through a carbon nanotube."
OR?

Hi,
I'm helping someone with writing a resume and had few questions.
There is a final year project which is mostly covered during last 2 semesters of EEE BS program. But almost every semester also has a semester-end project. What's the proper term for such 'semester-end projects' or 'minor...
I am a senior Civil Engineering student in my last study semester and I will begin to send out my resume in hopes of landing a job.
I was wondering, is a "Professional Summary" section a standard practice for engineers looking for a job?
Thank you in advance.
Hello all,
I revised a resume for data science positions. I empathized on skills that are needed for the positions like statistics/mathematics and programming. I mention that I am familiar with the theory of many machine learning algorithms and Python libraries used for data analysis. I still...
I wanted to know if I should list every honor society and other organizations that I'm apart of or should I just pick a few? If I should pick a few then which ones are more important? Also, which conferences should I keep? I'm trying to condense my resume but I have a lot of leadership...

P.S. My boss is pretty mad at me...
Hello all,
I'm hoping I can get some advice from the hiring managers out there in the engineering world.

Good morning everyone, Just a simple question.
I plan to work while going to school. I want to build something relevant to an entry level resume when I graduate College. The only question is what? I had been sending out feelers in order to get back into the electronics field. But I've also been...
Good morning all,
I really need to find something else so I'm trying to get back into electronics with only 2 problems.1) All of my work history is pre 2000s and 2) the school I even attended and got my associates closed up for good in 2015. I have no problem starting at the bottom again, as...
Hello everyone,
As I've said in my introduction I'm planning on going back to school but I want to do this right for once.
I am shooting for a BA in mechanical engineering (Most likely part time cause of this strange thing I need to do also called paying bills) But I don't want to do just any...

I'm currently employed as a R&D chemical/materials engineer with almost two years of experience. I plan to quit my job soon and take 6-9 months to self-teach myself advanced engineering concepts and to develop certain skills I’ll need to succeed in my career. I have a well thought out plan on...
This summer I was able to get a job working in the Physics department experimenting with soft robotics and I really enjoyed it. I'm fairly certain I want to major in Computational and Applied Math, but I still might try to get the minor in Physics. My primary career interest is something related...
The Physics group at my university is building an optical telescope (it will have a dome the size of an 8mX4m room and the mirror will have a diameter of about 65cm.) and we might also build a radio telescope or an array of telescopes which will work as one giant telescope. Also, I heard that we...
I'm a computational and applied math major with a physics minor and am considering rushing a sorority this fall but am concerned about how will it affect my career prospects. There are many claims that sororities improve leadership skills/build networks but I have a feeling that most of these...
Due to the somewhat complicated birth of my son (who is actually doing awesome), and the resulting unemployment of my wife, I will need to find some work before I can finish my Master's (pure math).

Hi, I will be majoring in Statistics at SFSU. However, while the curriculum is that of an Applied Statistics major (below is a link to a chart of the three offered emphasis, which we must choose one of out of ). Why, then, does the school call it "Statistics" instead of "applied Statistics"? And...
