I spent the day building a fresh resume and sending out applications.</p> <p>Here is exactly how I tackled it today.</p> <p><strong>🛠️ Step 1: Crafting the Resume</strong><br> Instead of stressing over the perfect phrasing, I used Claude to help me format and polish my resume. It helped me highlight my technical skills and structure my project bullet points using the Action Verb + Task + Result formula so it's optimized for recruiter filters.</p> <p><strong>🚀 Step 2: The Application Blitz</strong><br> Once my resume was locked in as a PDF, I focused on a few different channels to maximize my reach:</p> <ul> <li> <em>ZipRecruiter</em>: Used this to quickly find and apply to active, local summer tech roles.</li> <li> <em>AWS She Mentorship Program</em>: Applied here to connect with mentors, grow my technical skills, and get a foot in the door at AWS.</li> <li> <em>UN Volunteering</em>: Submitted an application to gain hands-on, real-world project experience while contributing to a great global cause.</li> </ul> <p><strong>📊 Today's Takeaway</strong>**<br> The hardest part of the internship hunt is just starting. Your resume doesn't need to be flawless—it just needs to accurately represent your current skills and your willingness to learn.</p> <p>If you've been putting off your applications, consider this your sign to just open a tab and submit that first one!</p> <p><strong>💬 Let's Chat!</strong><br> Are you currently hunting for summer opportunities?
