    Hello everybody, I am adding my resume. Would someone kindly review it? I feel that it is slacking on information or I did not do enough in my life because I worked the same job for the past 5 years for financial reasons ( In between semesters). You can be as brutal as possible to me when giving advice. Thank you all very much! I am still a student and will graduate in the spring.

    19, need help with a summary of a resume

    So honestly, I've never been employed, the reason being is I actually didn't have a sssc and I was apparently dead? Anyway, that's fixed, but then I went from house to house, until I moved with an aunt. She was really really sick, and honestly I didn't like her on her own, and she couldn't take care of herself. Then I get a call, and the next thing I know, her daughter is in jail, and she has her 2 and 15year old granddaughters. So for the past year I've been an unofficial care taker to my aunt(who is spending her days in a home) and my nieces(cousinsbut i call them my nieces). Unfortunately my aunt is very sick, and I can't see her making it past this month, and currently I'm looking into employment at a local grocery store.

    What I'm currently having trouble with is summarizing my resume? Like what do I even put? Can I even put that for the last year I've been taking care of my aunt and nieces? I'm just trying to get my head together, I wanna get this job, even if it's just a grocery clerk, so long as I can take care of my nieces until their mom gets home, I'm just unsure of what to put.

    Trying to break into IT. Just revamped my resume.

    https://preview.redd.it/xv5u6ztnwdyd1.png?width=659&format=png&auto=webp&s=2aa2936d8308888b1475456976cd3d4afa727caf

    As the title says I've been seeking an IT position for the past 3 years. After chasing every trend you can think of in software, I realized I have to at least start somewhere and build actual skills instead building a TODO app in a given stack. I some experience in warehousing but I don't know how many more truck loading jobs I can take. I've been attending WGU the past year and I really want to find an entry level position while I attend so I'll some experience somewhere. The positions are out there and I have had interviews but all of them seemed not convinced. I'd to get more interviews so I made this resume instead of using the Indeed generated resume(I know).

    Haven't used this one yet so any tips on how to improve this guy would be awesome.

    18 y/o, never employed, homeschooled my whole life. Where do I even start?

    In a lot of ways, my parents have made sure I'm as unprepared as possible for adult life and I've decided to finally take the leap of faith I need to get away from their abuse.

    I've never had a job before and I have no formal education (homeschooled my whole life), and honestly I'm so overwhelmed and clueless as to how I should start looking for employment.

    Literally any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.

    [0.5 YoE, Unemployed, Anything IT Mainly Software Engineering/Development, Australia]

    Resume

    I have just finished my final semester in Computer Science, and have been applying to jobs since the start of the year. I have gotten 3 interviews in this time. The first I bombed as it was my first interview, the second was for TikTok (which was incredibly difficult) and did not get through, and the third I am yet to hear back from (interview was 2 weeks ago), but think I did well.

    The internship on my resume was unpaid, probably why I got it, and I got offered the job after the internship, but declined due to personal reasons. The "Contract Software Developer" is more of a project I did at university, but since it was for a company, I decided to include it in my work experience.

    I have just revamped my resume to what you are seeing, with my last being similar. I just want to know if I am doing anything wrong as I have been applying for a while now with barley anything back. I will say I have given up on doing cover letters for the meantime as it takes too much time and makes me feel more defeated since I never hear back. Also every interview I have gotten I did not send a cover letter.

    Any help/tips on the resume are appreciated!

    Why do I keep getting overlooked and rejected?

    I've been applying for JR business analysts roles
    roles having to do with project coordination
    Communication
    Health information technology
    HRIS
    Systems Engineer
    Business Admin
    Business IT Analyst roles
    I really need to get out of helpdesk and I am looking for chances to specialize in something (if I don't get a business Analyst role) HITM, HRIS, CRM, IAM, Dev-Ops, etc...

    I've just been applying for several months. Still nothing. Not even interviews. Sometimes I get auto-rejected. I don't know what else to do. I feel stuck.

    I need to move out of state soon to go be close to my daughter, as her mother moved out of state for her job. I have been looking for remote jobs, through which I can then transition to a new location and continue working.

    I've applied for a wide range of companies. I don't know what else to do.

    I returned to school just hoping to boost my chances. I have one more semester till I graduate with that.

    One role I would absolutely kill for now is Microsoft Support Engineer role I applied for. I more than meet the requirements so I'm praying I get at least an interview opportunity.

    Why do I keep getting overlooked?

    Hi! New grad could really use some resume advice.

    https://preview.redd.it/e04bmozea0yd1.png?width=924&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ca83051ed187ff11e4852c73a64902baeaf5030

    I am in a bit of a job hunt phase looking for junior and new grad software engineering positions, following graduation from university and not hearing much back. I have gotten one offer from a single interview process, but haven't heard back from anywhere else.

    I have a lot of strong work experience, 6+ years in a variety of part time/full time and internship positions. I have had good luck networking and finding positions where I have lived, but am sitting at over 500+ applications across linkedin, university handshakle, indeed, and zip recruiter.

    I did dual enrollment in high school and completed my degree in 3 years, idk if I should put the community college I attended while in high school. I left my gpa off for my bachelor's because I'm not 100% sure what it is, I haven't paid for transcripts, but its between 3.4 and 3.5, deans list 3 semester idk if that's worth mentioning. Additionally, my associates degree gpa was 3.83 with deans list every semester.

    Trying to look for a job.

    This is not a rant, I figured it’d be relevant to the question. Usa, 28, never employed, mostly undiagnosed mental problems, Not anti social but extremely unsocialized, Didn’t get a chance to go to highschool, Focus & time management problems, extremely forgetful, no common sense, No family or friends for references, no programs I’m applicable to that would make searching for a job easier in my area, Can’t handle heat(faint unconscious after a short time)(I live in a hot area) I could have written it better but it’d take me hours or days of mental effort.

    Don’t know how to say the situation any other way tbf.

    What kinds of jobs should I look for & what info should I put on my resume? No clue on either tbh. All help appreciated!

    12+ YOE - TPM in Silcon Valley

    I'm back on the market after taking a year off (noted in my resume). Because my friends/network are also in lean position to help, I'm am swimming with the rest of the salmon here upstream. I've met with recruiters, friends, and all the LLMS :D and they say thing everything looks fine, but I thought I'd ask fellow those in the clerb :D (because we're all fam). I acknowledge it's a bit dense, so any way to re-word it would be great or point any red flags that my network has a blind spot for.

    Thanks!

    p.s. Please don't offer up a missing summary as advice. Recruiters I've spoken to have told me that does not move the needle for them.

    Any reliable ATS checkers?? (without a job advertisement)

    Hey, does anyone have any idea about which site provides a better insight into my ATS resume? I have tried various sites like EnhanCV, Resume Worder, JobScan, CV Wolf, and Indeed...

    EnhanCV seems to be a fraud, it recommends a two-column CV format as an ATS format. Looks like it's solely developed as a cash grab...

    JobScan and CVWolf require a job advertisement to compare with. So, we can skip them.

    ResumeWorded clearly shows what are the errors, and helps to solve them. And it recommends an ATS-friendly format. But the biggest issue is it's a bit expensive. Even though it shows errors clearly and helps to solve them, it seems it only lets us touch the surface in the dark without the pro version.

    Indeed seems legit since it is a job site, but it only shows errors in my resume. It doesn't help much in fixing them. But the biggest strength of it is that it shows how the system scanned my details.

    Does anyone know any other ATS checkers, that provide a meaningful score/rate, insight, and help to fix any issues???
