take your address out. You want creepers or pajeet recruiters knocking on your door? Take the subtitle out. That would be maybe appropriate for a doctorate or a board certification but not a BA.
I'm not sure about Skype either, just move the LinkedIn up with the other stuff. Remove skill xp bars and merge with hobbies and organize it into better categories.

OP, no one here will say it because they're all either NEETs or in shit careers, but that resume would go straight to the fucking garbage in any serious company. Look at all that blank, useless space literally everywhere. What the fuck is that skills section? Just say proficient in X Y Z, intermediate at A B C. Give me more details on your jobs -- what exactly did you accomplish in each role? Also, get rid of the headshot. If they care about your looks, they'll check your LinkedIn.

I tried plain text resumes before but wasn't getting much response, I thought this would show my creativity and the bars were a quick way to judge my skill level.

I planned it figuring I'm just the 500th resume in line and mine would catch their eye. I don't have too much experience so the blank space helps me compensate

It's the cover letter that gets you an interview, it's the interview that determines if you got the job. Resume is literally the least important part of the process. Don't waste your time here.

>> No.11915913

>>11915884
No offense, but the reason you didn't get hits is because you did a shit job at explaining your previous jobs. It's all so vague. Recruiters love standard templates because it's easier to find important details -- they detest retards who want to look flashy and special.

If you really want to up your hits, you need to start cold emailing and networking.

>> No.11915922

>>11915902

ok I'll keep that in mind. for cover letter how do you usually go about it? "your company excels in the field of X and I see there has been consistent growth....I'd like to provide additional values by X Y Z"

This. Also checkout this website for template ideas, Ive found some colors and backgrounds will make your resume standout quite a bit. Like I use the dark blue print on white with the top part of my resume having a blockchain look to it in light gray. However this website costs money so do it right the first time, you only get a month.

I currently have just have:

Mine is pretty boring, but I get about a phone call per 5 to 6 resumes handed out. It helps to have useful and quantifiable skills.

Well I'm a robot programmer so I'm not competing with a lot of people in my line of work in the first place. but I imagine just based my experience with my peers in college that companies pick the least autistic of us that they can find because you have to be pretty autistic to program robots.

I'm a controls engineer now, pay's pretty good. But I had to move to another city for it. a city I fucking hate. I want to move back to my home town, but finding a job back there was the real challenge. they want people with experience. but since I'm currently in my first job, as long as I don't fuck it up in five years after I get my PE and maybe a masters degree if I feel like I'll be invincible to poorfaggery and pretty much be able to pick whatever job I want.

I mean as it is I'm already getting a phone call every month from headhunters trying to scope out talent. and I've only been working my current job for a year.

Your resume is pretty bad man...go here https://novoresume.com/resume-templates and get some ideas, also you dont want a portrait if you're in the U.S. Try to make your resume professional but stand out like theirs do. Also go down to 3 bullet points for each position. for assistant manager list something about assisted in screening and recruiting new employees and just say how you helped sit in with your boss as he trained you how to do it. then for a 2nd bullet point put how you were responsible for training new employees. recruiting and training are big points for managers on resumes.

Lucky you have decent software. I should have updated my resume before I gave up my work computer as I only have Mac basically don’t have any decent fonts via Word Doc, Acrobat Pro, etc. Here’s mine that I still need to update the fonts and layout a tad

I review resumes fairly regularly. It looks nice but I'm not a fan desu. Skills scale is arbitrary and meaningless. Why include skype? No one cares about hobbies unless it's relevant to the job. The side bar takes up waaay to much space. Better to include personal info at the top. No one wants a headshot unless it is relevant to the job (model, hostess, etc).

Other critiques:
Also Some bullets end in periods, others do not. Pick one or the other. There is an empty line after Sales assistant but not the other job titles. The margin for the education and the job titles do not line up. Normally, multi lines in bullets have the same left margin. In this case, your second line wraps underneath your bullets. For your experience dates, some have a month and others don't. Be consistent. It is subtle things like that that will tell an anal hiring manager than you do not have an attention to detail. Lastly, try to expand on some of your points. You should say what you did, and how that benefited the company. Ex. 'Share the vital responsibility to recruit, interview and hire staff.... ensuring chosen applicants were of the highest standard' or some shit like that but make it sound better.If you shrink that side bar you will have more room to expand on some points
