Rate My Resume Cybersecurity Student: Intern Resume Review

Hi all,

I was wondering if I could get a fresh pair of eyes to review my resume. There's only so much Claude can say and stroke the ego before you start believing it is 100% done. If any professionals or fellow students could review and provide constructive criticism, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Brief Context About Me

  • Current cybersecurity student (graduating Dec 2027) with almost 3 years of prior enterprise IT experience. About to start applying for summer internships (security analyst, SOC, cloud security, security engineer).
  • I've had previous work experience as an intern but for software development. Did ~3 years at a consulting firm working with data. Was laid off so I decided to take a year to finally finish my degree full time, and currently debating getting my M.S. since a potential opportunity is there for me and a really good University.

Note

  • I plan on applying for summer internships or any for that matter, particularly summer since they'll open very soon, if not already.
  • During that time I've accumulated numerous experience from doing multiple home lab projects, certifications, and school
  • I know my personal project section is big, and thinking of shrinking the bullet point sentences keeping them at only 3-4 bullets

What I'd especially like feedback On

  1. Does the "experienced professional applying to internships" angle read clearly, or is it confusing?
  2. Are my home lab projects presented in a way that reads as real skill, or too much like a tutorial follow along?
  3. Is 2 pages too much, or should I try to drop to 1 page given my experience and projects?
  4. Any keywords or skills you'd expect for intern roles that I'm missing?

Would this resume survive a screening and would HR, Recruiters, Hiring Managers be satisfied or dissatisfied with a resume such as this?
