Resume Tips
Nobody gives a shit about your discord bot or your NLP weather page or your Android app that adds two integers together, if you just copy pasted code from tutorialspoint, w3school, or some tech blog by a Pakistani middle schooler from Lahore
Speaking as someone who has reviewed co-op resumes in the past and will again: have something – anything – that makes you different from everyone else in your class. Learn an MVC framework like Rails or Django and put up a toy app that does at least one interesting thing. Show proficiency in a language you don’t learn in CS courses like Ruby or Erlang (do Project Euler problems and put your solutions on GitHub). Build and maintain a Linux or FreeBSD server or something.
Oh, and do good work over ambitious work: a tidy 15-liner is way more impressive than a 10% finished barely-modified-from-boilerplate web app.
I have never hired for someone because they aced CS241, but I have interviewed several people who had Ruby on their resume.
