somebody
PLEASE LOOK AT MINE
NOTE:Names have been changed for "protection"

>>20036872
I'm willing to hang out here for a while given this is /biz/ness, is this actually your resume?

>>20036872
Actually never mind this has to be a fucking joke resume. If this is actually yours, buy LinkedIn premium and reach out to multiple recruiters for help on your resume.
This shit looks like a macaroni necklace and I'd never give it a moment's fucking notice.

>>20037229
>>20037297
is it really that bad?

>>20036788
Why do you have two associates degrees instead of a bachelor's?

>>20037402
the course requirements for the math was the design engineering degree plus first aid and a couple of other classes
I thought it would be cool to have both

>>20037347
It's really that bad. Sorry. Would love to help, but I think you should do what I suggested. Spend the $30/month and reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn and get some feedback. This is an unhireable resume, honestly. It's clear you have some skills, I'll update below.
>>20037402
If you're in "IT" it doesn't really matter. A guy works above me that didn't finish high school and he's beyond brilliant. Literally an autistic psycho, but brilliant and does his job. Degrees mean nothing if you'r exceptional.

Applied for over 900 jobs with endless different resumes. Some of them 1 simple page , some 10 pages, some exaggerated to absurdity with every qualification explained in detail. Only got 10 replies, 8 interviews, and 0 job offers.

>>20036872
Can you copy and text a pastebin for me so I can reword stuff and shit? I'll literally rewrite your entire resume if you give it to me in a decent to manipulate plaintext.

>>20037505
Sounds like you're not selling yourself right. You should expect at least a call back from 50% of the jobs you apply to, otherwise you're not modulating your resume per job. You're literally getting filtered out.

>>20036872
>trained in... it and it management
Like what? What specifically? Softwares, tasks, what
>social media setup
what specifically, need buzzwords so people searching for your resume can find you have skills

What did you improve or create while you were at the jobs? Give numbers like "improved growth from 1% per year to 3% per year" or "created new focus method to solve specific problem"

>mapping assistant
How many maps did you draw edit or detail?

I would use bold or larger text for the main stuff, like job titles. Need space? At the bottom of resume you have a lot of white space but one column that extends, trim that down, combine things, get rid of fluff, add another column, reorganize

>I have volunteered
if you want to discuss this at all then you need to add details like where, hours worked, organizations.
do you really want to take up precious interview and call time talking about volunteering if it's not very related or useful to the job you applied for? no? something to think about, even though volunteering is great.

>>20037543
Exactly, this fucking resume is a mess.

If you have enough experience your resume should be two pages. All that education, community, volunteer stuff can go on the back.

Nearly every (not all) resume bullets should follow the formula "Action, impact, result".
What you did (action), how it impacted the business, and the result".

>>20037636
They say you get a page per 4-5 years, I think that's chill.

>>20036872
This is all you get for free, given you're not attentive to the thread.

>>20037918
>>20037543
Well thank ya'll for the feedback. I really didn't think it was this bad. I recently lost my job and I did a almost complete rewrite of my old one.
anyway here is a pastebin
https://pastebin.com/A0VjeSG9
try not to dox me I guess

>>20037636
>two pages
into the trash

>>20037986
Did you buy a LinkedIn Premium account and message a few recruiters in your area for resume help, etc?

>>20036872
wtf kind of resume is this?
layouts all fucked big time mate

>>20038015
well not its only been a hour crap.

>>20036872
why the fuck is it so cluttered?
first, make it fucking simple and easy to find shit.
second job experince is the key, but certs and degrees fill in any gaps nicely.
why do you say college certificate in 365? 365 is microsoft, if you don't have the microsoft cert then no one is going to give a shit about some class you took in college

the very bottom i would just trash, if you don't mention that you used those programs at your job then its not relevant imo

>>20038082
also no need to give a detailed description for previous jobs that have no bearing on the jobs you're applying for, just mention your main task briefly

>>20038082
hmmm ok
I really hate the bottom area; anyway.

>>20038105
I've only had just a couple of jobs I'm fairly young If I didn't list them there would be blanks.

>>20038116
then make sure that you change them so that the skills you highlight are at least slightly relevant to the job/field you are applying for

>>20038134
that makes some sense

>>20037918
How did you write like this? And I thought math was hard.

>>20038185
I've worked with professional recruiters my entire career and I've made it my mission to help idiots like you (and friends, family) make better resumes that describe their skills and experiences more accurately in order to get them into the interviews they need to be in.
AMA

>>20038185
here you go anon i took a old resume of mine and doctored the shit out of it, before anyone laughs, i've gotten a few jobs using that style lol
sometimes i'll get a recruiter who'll want a short description, and i usually just give them a line of phrases, like worked with printers, windows and some software...

>>20038324
>pic on your resume

>>20038363
the only people who care about a pretty resume is HR and having the right certs/job history easily gets you past them

>>20038324
>>20038363
cool design
a picture though? I look like Fred Flintstone IRL though

>>20038393
well thats pretty much why, so many people now days will wear a hoody to a job interview, showing people you have the ability to shave and dress nice is important

>>20038324
seems boring... but if it worked then it works.

>>20038425
>>pic on your resume
well yeah I can dress up nicely
In the past Ive used this picture of me on a airplane I actually shaved believe it or not 3 hours before I took this picture

>>20038363
Hey, quick question - how do you deal with gaps?
I hail from a top 20 school, but have huge gaps on my rez b/c I was day trading stock and crypto.

Also, my experience is all over the place (industry wise), but I guess I am experienced in operations. Should I lie about my gaps?

It's actually an automatic disqualification for any resume passing through any reputable hiring agency or company, as a 'picrelated' to the resume assumes they're hiring off a persons appearance which includes but is not limited to,
>race
>age
>sex
>attractiveness
>suggestiveness
https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/faq/application/documents/resume/what-to-leave-out/
>picrelated

>>20038431
honestly, i think in the tech fields. the managers have more say in hiring people since HR is clueless.
and i've always felt give them the most information in the simplest form possible so the manager doesn't have to read through paragraphs to find the important junk

not sure how the rest of the world works...

>>20038485
oh shit anon, i was thinking you were ugly.
nah man you'll do fine, just take a pic of you in a button down shirt standing next to a wall or something so its just a single color. you'll be fine

>>20038504
strange as i've been hired by national temp agencies multiple times. even got a job at a fortune 500 company before lol

>>20038537
I think I will dig out my old suit and get someone to take some pictures of me.
Cannot really do it right now since I have the coroners but when I get better
Snap Crackle Pop

>>20038537
Here's a fresh one that is not a year old

>>20038625
smile some, and also delete those photos anon lol

>>20038504
although i do think you've touched on a much deeper issue. if you apply for a job that has hundreds of applicants. then HR will literally find any reason to throw away your resume.

to be fair, i haven't had much luck getting a job when a hundred + people apply for it. but i've heard from friends who have to hire people, most the time, the most qualified people will either demand more money or have already got another job.
then HR is like oh, guess we couldn't find anyone we'll have to hire our super liberal gender-queer friend for the job...

>>20038632
yeah I am currently sick though
normally I'd brush my hair n such

>>20038500
>gap
If anyone asks about a fucking gap ignore the call. Seriously. Anyone asking "why you weren't employed" during a certain period of time means you're setting yourself up with a completely fucked company. People don't work for tons of reasons,
>laid off
>sick parents
>learning new skills
>tired of the rat race
>raising a child
>traveling
>volunteer work
And guess what? None of these answers are good enough in their eyes. Move along. Trust me.
>>20038689
>will literally find any reason to throw away your resume
And guess what, bigger companies' prerogative is to do just that. If they find your resume is just as qualified as another, and they snoop both of you on Google;
>A) political slut
>B) no info
Guess what, they're going with B.

>>20038806
i get asked about gaps in my resume, i tell them oh i was working do this or that. and i got a old resume with all the dates on it if you actually care.
and they usually just laugh and say no, we just want to be able to say you were working.

i grew up in a liberal city, and i shit you not, HR would literally not hire people with private social media accounts, because they knew you were a republican lol
so yeah you got to be careful about your online presence

>>20038877
>be careful about your online presence
I'm glad younger people are realizing this now. I remember back in high school on AIM people would try and sell drugs and I ended up looking like the shrimp because I told people *not* to do that.
>lol it's not like anyone else can read this
The ultimate luls.
As above, trust me, any company doing these types of retarded practices aren't worth your time.

>>20038877
what the fuck profession are you in that HR hires people and not the team your working with.

>>20039087
its pretty standard for the manager to give a list of qualifications to HR and then HR does the recruiting part, and gives the manager the top 3-5 applicants HR feels met his criteria

>>20036872
It's a decent format, but you're cluttering the hell out of it with an extremely wordy description of an L1 helpdesk guy who can get away some some L2 application support stuff.

>>20039257
Yes, HR def does the recruiting/contacting part. But I've usually only seen the manager and seniors do the checking resumes and interviewing part. At Least that is for engineering.

Either way, as the other anon said. Avoid that company like the libtard cancer they are.

You’re welcome

>>20036788
Last thing I'll say about this stupid fucking post is that you should really consider the job search more of like dating than some dry emotionless streak. There is SO MUCH to learn in the way you interview, the way you interact with superiors, etc. It's insane how complex it can be and it all starts with gaining some experience. That said, experiment. Take interviews you have no interest in, submit 'test' resumes to jobs outside of your skill group. Good luck anon.

>>20039978
thank you
I'd never really thought about interviews being like dates
this thread has been pretty eye opening Ill tell you that
