/rrt/ - Resume Rate Thread

[Anonymous No.16893543]

Last time there was one it helped me a bit and I hope it helps others.

Post resume and others rate and give suggestions.

Give some feedback if posting your own.

Pic related is mine and I want literally any tech job that isn't sales/ programming COBOL. Suggestions/Feedback in skills I should develop? My goal is to get a job in the midwest within the next three months.

Uh, okay, well, you're format is scattered everywhere. You should have bullet points for your main positions not in the skills part. Also, your skills part reads more like the profile summary. Try switching those. Add more numbers to your experience duties.
>Plethora
....dummy that's why you're getting tossed. This isn't a Victorian novel or some Zola shit. You just used a thesaurus to impress people. Not gonna work.
For experience put three to four bullet points that summarize your successful accomplishments.
For example: Mentored 12 retards in blah blah that resulted in all 12 retards graduating from college and getting great jobs using non-retarded resumes.
Start with that.

[Anonymous No.16893702]

Great tips!
Also, I have no successful accomplishments outside of being good at school. The part that's 2018-Present is all failures.

[Anonymous No.16893724]

>>16893633
You need to reduce the word count by at least 50%. Use short bullet points. Skills section needs to be redone completely. It should be at most a few bullet points with all the languages, systems, interface you've used. "good people skills, friendly" is not something you write on a resume.

[Anonymous No.16893748]

why didn't you get a job out of college?

the gap looks bad tbqh, does your entrepreneurship have an LLC that you can claim you worked at? what did you do for your entrepreneurship, study philosophy (yikes)?

[Anonymous No.16893812]

>>16893724
Great tips!

>>16893748
I worked as a manager for another year then got lucky with crypto.

And nope no LLC. I created jewelry designs on CAD and self-produced a music album as far as entrepreneurship. And philosophy strengthens your thinking skills IMO, especially for edge cases with programming.

>>16893969
Education definitely belongs above Experience. Having a 3.91 GPA in Engineering & computer science is way more impressive than working as a manager at some shitty jewelry store. Why did you think studying philosophy and self-producing an album was more important than your education and work experience in the hierarchy?

Also, why isn't your spacing consistent?

Why did you put self-study on a timeline? How about you take PROFILE & EXPERIENCE and make those one simplified section called "SKILLS"? Then put that between EDUCATION at the top and EXPERIENCE at the bottom

[Anonymous No.16894548]

Because that’s how the template was laid out so I just kept that order but you’re right.

Why not extend the manager role to 2018 and say you had a gap year in an SEA country working for your uncle in 2019. Get a friend to larp as him and say you were doing digital marketing for a motorcycle store or something.

You need to fill that gap because it looks terrible and no recruiter would risk hiring you.

[Anonymous No.16894836]

>>16893543
Common don't put the fact you make memes in PS ahead of a manager position. Also find a better way to say you worked full-time and part-time depending on workload. If you say intermittently as the first sentence in your best achievement you won't have that point taken seriously. Do a cover letter.

Why is entrepreneurship considered terrible? I was literally trying to accomplish something on my own.

I honestly do not understand the hate that a gap gets, you're expected to be a wageslave in this country til retirement?

I'm the manager for that shitty dead-end job you're applying for, not a mind reader. If I see a long gap in your work experience, usually that means someone else fired you for being a useless retard and you couldn't find another job. I've taken a chance on a few applicants with garbage work histories and very quickly it becomes clear why they can't keep a job. Try to fill it with some bullshit like >>16894833 suggested. Nobody verifies work history.

I like it. You can tell your skills improved as you gained more experience. Or at least your responsibilities.

[Anonymous No.16895707]

>>16895556
Absolutely not.

What you need to do is put your nose to the grindstone and really work on getting your first decent job. With your Bio degree, look at quality control in food manufacturing setting. Get some experience, be dependable and capable, and try to work your way up. It won't be hard to outshine the competition. A lot of boomers in upper management are going to be retiring soon so there's going to be a lot of upward mobility for us few millennials that didn't fuck around.

Relevant work experience and especially any supervisory experience is worth 3x more than any bullshit master's degree.

tl;dr just get a fucking job

Remove the dollar amount, try and broadly specify you were involved with vendors in contract negotiations.

I hate to say it but the only hope about Logic Pro X helping you is if someone wants to talk about music as a hobby. Same as philosophy.

At 4 years ago, you GPA might not really matter anymore and why is your BS in Engineering Bio and you list Engineering and Comp Sci GPA? Was it a minor or just coursework?

Expand on the desktop CCTV (and hope it is a good system).

Safer method of resurfacing touchstones via knowledge of chemistry just sounds like you used industry standard chemicals and techniques.

Try and expand upon troubleshooting Windows, do you have server experience? Networking, enterprise?

I hate to say but I would only look at this as a break / fix or desperate to get someone and properly train them coming just from my own work in IT with some minor programming.

Not going to lie it is very tough to get in. Your real hope is that somehow HR is impressed and wants to pull you in for an interview and your personality lands it, not necessarily the skills.

>music as a hobby. Same as philosophy.

>you list Engineering and Comp Sci GPA
It was in my transcript, I thought it might be helpful for tech jobs since I excelled in those classes but I'll remove it. It's basically a shitty planned pre-med program with half engineering classes and half bio.

>Expand on the desktop CCTV
Literally configuring 3 small CCTV systems and opening some ports on the firewall

>sounds like you used industry standard chemicals and techniques.
We used to grind them and it was nasty and probably against OSHA but I realized that Fluoride was higher on the reduction table than Gold in my chem class so we started washing them with toothpaste instead.

>do you have server experience? Networking, enterprise?
0. Just general shit with Windows Home mostly. I can pass the A+ exam, I might take it just to have a cert.

> your personality lands it
My only interview the chemistry was great and they still hired someone else.

What would you recommend I add to my skillset?
Should I study for Net+ and Security+? Or is it futile without work experience?

What kind of job are you looking for? I’m guessing programming? You hint at it, but this is not a good resume for a programmer. First, get rid of the bit about the software you learned on. That’s basic and something you just do, no need to hype adobe skills. Second, get rid of the entrepreneur bit. It’s okay if you don’t have relevant work experience in the field that you’re targeting. It’s not okay to fill it up with with unrelated experience though. Talk about specific projects you worked on that exposed you to the skills you’re marketing. What did you do in C or python or matlab for example? Hello world tutorials don’t count. Brief bullet points that are clear and descriptive.
“Build an application to monitor live trading on crypto currency exchanges for data analysis by connecting to socket streams.”
What you did, why you did it, how you did it. Brief and to the point. Come up with 5 or 6 bullet points and scrap the rest of your unrelated work history imo.

You have pretty much no focus at all in your resume. 2018- present of learning various unrelated software is bad, especially when you already have a skills section.

If i see familiar tools, the interviewer will ask more specific questions testing your knowledge. if you just put vague descriptions of your jobs is a brainfuck for the interviewer to see if those skills can carry over and decipher whether the skill levels can carry over. best if you already did what your applying for. No more than 2 pages. Put your education last if you have more than 5 yrs experience.
