This is the resume that got me into SpaceX - also AMA for tips
Hey everyone,
This is my redacted resume after graduating college a few years back. It’s slightly tweaked for public but here’s some key takeaways I highly recommend you make:
- Sell the recruiter in the first 5 seconds. This is why I always include a summary, they don’t have time to read through everything-and they usually won’t.
- Tailor the resume to the job posting and ensure you meet their minimum keywords to make it past any auto filters.
- Sell yourself hard in every bullet. You are the person for this role, don’t put statements that only contain information on what you did, make it a story on why that is relevant to the role.
Also, if you don’t have any aero experience- go get some. Start your own aero project (like I did) for the job you want, it can be as basic as you need, talk to professors, get other students onboard and make it happen! The rover project I started helped get me into NASA
(Mod Approved) I’m recruiting every student interested in working in aerospace and every current aero engineer looking to help mentor students and break the gatekeeping to aerospace.

Inb4 any comments: I have a tutor website side project, it is small, unrelated & no I will not share it.
Enjoy guys!
