Hi guys! I hope everyone has had a successful week. I am currently working on tailoring my resume as I am applying to quantum engineering jobs/internships. I need some help with my resume which I have attached below. Some questions I have are what should I focus on adding/ removing from my resume? From an employer's standpoint, what is missing in this resume? and how can I best utilize the current skills that I have developed to communicate my readiness for working in quantum? Any input would help as I don't have much experience with this :-/...

What was your initial drive to want to build a career in quantum computing? It’s not like CS where it’s perceived as an “easy career that pays well”. For me, I started with the simple notion “I like computers, and quantum computing seems like a more interesting and advanced version of normal computers”. Of course my first inclination was a little naive, but that’s OK. It eventually grew into a genuine passion. I feel like everyone’s interests originate from some visceral and unconscious gut feeling and can build to a true passion with real experience. What was your gut feeling that has drawn you in to quantum computing? I shared my naive start, so it’s OK if yours is simple too.

Hey! Everyone make your first post introducing yourself. Copy this post and answer: 1. What’s your educational background 2. What’s one challenge you faced learning quantum computing or navigating a quantum career? My answers: 1. I got an undergraduate degree in English Literature from Texas State University in 2019. Currently, I'm almost finished with my masters degree in Computer Science (with an AI focus) at Southern Methodist University. I'm considering getting another masters in EE/CE after I graduate and work for awhile. 2. I find some of the math behind quantum a little tricky, though not impossible! Also, like a lot of people with CS degrees right now, I'm struggling to find ANY type of CS job, let alone one in Quantum Computing. I remain optimistic, however, and I'm very glad to be here! Nice to meet you all!

Hey everyone, I saw IBM released a few 2026 internships. Wanted to start a discussion on what their teams may value most in a candidate. https://ibmglobal.avature.net/en_US/careers/OpenJobs/Quantum?10439=%5B674442%5D&10439_format=13594&listFilterMode=1&jobRecordsPerPage=9&

Hi, recently I started to use a open source quantum control tool called QubiC to do measurement on transmon qubits, and I think it's a good time to write a roadmap that I would like to achieve in the lab. 1. Use QubiC by programing python code to implementations, such as one tone / two tone measurement to find resonators' and qubits' frequencies. 2. Setup FPGA board + RFSoC with quantum computer, to learn how to deploy the hardware controller. 3. Learn FPGA design, from entry level to advanced level, by online resources. 4. TBD I start to learn hardware stuff is because it's not easy to apply for a job only with firmware skills. Honestly, the number of hardware engineer positions is more than firmware engineer ones. Welcome to have a discussion with me, and hope everyone can achieve goals!
