AI resume tips

1Lead with education: degree, major, GPA (include only if strong, e.g. 3.5+/4.0), honors, and relevant coursework.
2Internships matter most: write each in STAR form with concrete numbers wherever possible.
3Projects are more than "I worked on X": list the stack, your role, what you shipped, and the result.
4Competitions, publications, and open-source work are strong signals; note the level and your contribution.
5Include clubs or student leadership only when they show real ownership (lead, organizer), not membership.
