I'm actually applying for two different positions at a new company - one is the equivalent of my current role (Senior EHS Manager), the other is Document Management. Because of the way EHS is structured in my current org, I am also in charge of document management all the way from our regulatory recordkeeping to our construction and retrofit as-builts, including occasionally using CAD software, so this actually wouldn't be a super new role to me. Both interest me greatly and I will be applying to each.

Now, here's the dilemma. At my current company, I climbed the ranks from basic, entry level, generic, operations college-hire supervisor, to Senior EHS Manager opening greenfield sites back to back, in 3.5 years. I have about 5.5 years of background with this company, but lots of role changes - multiple promotions in my first 3 years, and then leading each new site is a different role.

Should I have this company be one primary entry in my job history and just list 5-6 major accomplishments plus a quick summary about promotions, or break it down into 7 separate roles that may make it look like I was internally job hopping? Obviously my experience speaks to my competence so I'm not really worried about that as much as I'm concerned about how to appropriately include the last half decade chronologically so it's not a turn off when it shouldn't be.

And, should I use the same format for both resumes? Or do I flesh out the EHS management roles more granularly for the EHS Manager application, and lump these together under one entry for the Document Management application?

Or am I just way overthinking the whole thing?

I'm targeting BA/analyst positions and hoping to work my way into product management. I've had 3 YoE in the life sciences industry but I'm not particularly tied down to it and open to working in different industries. I'm currently located in the Boston area and am looking to stay around the Boston area. I worked remotely previously but I'm open to anything at this point.

I've been unemployed for about 8 month where 4 of those months I wasn't taking job searching seriously enough. 3 of those months I've worked on refining my resume (while applying of course) but I'm worried that my bullet points may be too cluttered or verbose. I'm also conflicted on whether I should keep my summary or not since I don't have too much job experience.

I've had a few callbacks and interviews but not as many as I would like. I'd say it's a hit rate of about 1 in 30 applications that I get a callback. I am a US citizen.

Hi,

I want to present my last job this way:

Company (2019 - now)
Product manager
- Few bullet points about what this role is about in that company (important because every company does it differently so I want to clarify this)

Product 1 (2021 - now) - Full ownership of the vertical
- List achievements in team 1

Product 2 (2019 - 2021) - In charge of X and Y
-List achievements in team 2

The reason I break down the 2 teams is that even though my title was the same, my responsibilites were not, the product were completely different, and so were the targets/achivements. But the day to day about the job is similar.

I worry that the ATS might pick that up as 3 seperate jobs and get confused by the overlapping dates. I don't think a human would as I will use a visual cue to separate the different levels, but don't know about the ATS.

What do you guys think?

Hey all! I have 10 years of experience in a field and am trying to transition to a new career path. Do I list my 10 years of experience or just make it seem like i am a rookie haha

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Hi! I have two versions of my resume.

What are the images?
I'm unsure which one is better since I believe the previous one had a more remember-able design (standing out approach) where the current one has more information provided and is better at explaining more of my skills.

What is the third image?
It's an example of what I would include in my CV depending on what position I was applying for and how much information I would want to share. (It has every job I have worked but I only submit maybe 3-4 jobs.)

Things of my concern on the resume?
My education doesn't say Bachelors it says Graduate Diploma which in the Australian Qualification Framework is meant to be a level 8 compared to a Bachelors level 7. It's focus was on developing a video game as an independent company which gives it a lot more credit than it appears.

Break in Software Development Career?
2~ years break from Software Development and just only 1 year as a junior. I did attempt to get back into a Software Engineering role a year ago. Got turned down for the reason "We don't know if you still know how to do the work compared to someone who has done it more recently." Which taking another year break form there doesn't exactly help, I got the opportunity for some supervisor / management / team leading role which I took as I'd like to believe 3-5 years down the line that will help me get a Team Lead role easier if the opportunity comes.

Years of experience?
I don't know if I should or shouldn't include my study time. Since with that study time, I'm around 4-5 years of experience. Without it and strictly only for stuff I've been paid for, I'm just over a year of experience.

"Soft Skill Set"
I haven't expressed a lot of my soft skills / I'm unsure what soft skills to include. Like I'm pretty nifty which google sheets / excel but it's not something I particularly think is super relevant to most of my roles. I have ardunios and raspberry pi's that I do mess around with and have WAN access to for giggles if I want to deploy some test code from my mobile, I made a basic application for my watch (FitBit OS) when I was working at the Auto Parts Store as a proof of concept, it took around 1-2 hours from conception to delivery. Kinda of a "I don't know what employers want to see."

Portfolio?
Not a great display of previous worked on projects as most of the previous work died on my old hard-drive. Other work is stuff I did for the Computer Vision in Car company I listed and I didn't keep any of that code around to show as example for a future employer because I feel like that'd get me in a lot of trouble. I haven't had the opportunity outside of some quick C# / Python / JavaScript / Lua stuff to build back up project that would be notable.

Goal?
Software Engineering in C++.
To work in either back end Software Engineering or Embedded again because it genuinely was a lot of fun and it's work I very much did enjoy and was competent at. I would like to be picky and say either remote or x amount of dollars but haven't gotten either.

Applications submitted?
I have a total of 48 direct Software Engineering job applications in the last 3 weeks and 75 overall applications to related roles which are either lower skill level or at the very least I'm over qualified for.

Current issues?
I'm either not getting responses or I'm being turned away due to my skill set not matching what people are expecting before an interview or reference check happens. I have very good references.

Application Method:
I am using a mixture of easy apply options, directly emailing companies and going to the companies website to apply. Avoiding recruitment agencies currently.

Where else do I need help?
I'm not sure where to look for jobs that are relevant to me directly. Using seek/indeed/government/glassdoor job boards all have some stuff that's relevant but what would be more genuinely useful for me is having a list of every software development company and if I could just go through read about the company and read what they do, their benefits, the culture, etc, etc. Since the best responses I have gotten by far is when I directly apply off their contact emails.

Any other suggestions would be great. I am going to go through other peoples resumes to get some ideas as well.

I am targeting software engineering internships, particularly in backend development or web development. I don't care where I work at this point. Anything will suffice. I am applying to any location and any type of jobs (remote, hybrid, inperson, etc). The main challenge I’ve faced is not getting interviews. I think this might be due to my lack of direct work experience in software engineering or lack of knowledge. I need help refining my resume to highlight my skills and projects better. I also want advice on navigating the job market as a new grad. I have one year until I graduate. Citizenship and visa status are not an issue for me; I am authorized to work in the locations I’m applying to.

NOTE: My projects are listed that way to keep page to one page format.

I have had the same job with four different companies. It has the same job description and responsibilities for every company. Should I list out every company I have been with, or is there a way to list the job and the responsibilities without listing four different companies? I am trying to avoid making my resume three pages long to accommodate everything, as I have heard long resumes are not ideal. Thanks.

I have a total of approximately 9 years of work experience and have transitioned between roles and companies six times. Over the past six years, I have alternated between two companies (Company A and Company B).

• Joined Company A in early 2018 and contributed until mid-2019.
• Joined Company B in mid-2019, where I took on diverse responsibilities, and left for Company A again in mid-2022.
• Rejoined Company A in mid-2022 and worked there until early 2024.
• Returned to Company B in early 2024, taking on four different roles during my tenure, before departing a couple of months ago.

Please suggest how do I put it better in my resume.

Hi folks, it's pretty much as you saw in the title - 20 year old with zero work experience and subpar educational record so far, looking for pretty much any local entry level part time job like retail, warehouse, hospitality etc. Kindly roast my CV so I have a slightly better than nonexistent chance of getting a job. Thanks!

(Also yes, I know there are a few errors in sentence structure, I just noticed them lol)

I have been told to take off college experience once you get your first job. I have only have 2-3 years experience though so what do I put on there?

https://preview.redd.it/dby05y2ziy5e1.png?width=5100&format=png&auto=webp&s=95029235e036405119ad11f0505cf7d0e5050200

For three years, I worked as a Solutions Engineer at an AI startup, until the company shut down early this April. I've interviewed with 5 companies in 8 months of unemployment and I wonder if my resume is holding me back.

The main challenge I've experienced is that, on paper, I'm most qualified for sales engineering roles, but I really dislike doing demos and presentations. I'm not the sales type. The only other job type I've gotten calls back for is data engineering. That made me feel very motivated to apply to more data engineering roles, but I have not gotten a good response rate for those applications at all.

Other information about my job search:

1. I'm in the US (NY Metro Area) and am open to jobs anywhere in the US, with preference to positions in NYC and cities in California (e.g. San Francisco, San Diego)
2. I've been applying to a variety of roles, primarily: Solutions/Sales/Pre-Sales Engineer, Data Scientist/Analyst/Engineer. I'll be honest, I'm not sure exactly what my specific target is, I'm mainly just applying to anything that seems related to my experience.
3. I do tailor my resume to each job application, so the above is an example of a resume I'd send
4. I'm open to relocating, and am open to remote, hybrid and in-person
5. I'm a US Citizen

I'd appreciate general feedback on the resume. Thank you for your time!

Hello All, Could you please review my resume. I am having a hard time getting any interview calls. I have updated my resume again. Any feedback to improve the resume and convert it to calls would be great help

Hi r/resumes,

I’d appreciate your feedback on my resume as I prepare to apply for data science and machine learning roles in the UK. Here's a bit about me and my job-hunting situation:

• Target Roles/Industries: Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, or IoT-focused roles. I’m open to both data-heavy positions and those involving IoT systems and predictive modeling.
• Location Preference: I’m not based in the UK and have a workpermit for 2 years , and I’m applying for jobs across the UK. Open to hybrid or on-site roles and willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
• While I’ve applied to several roles, I have not recieved any callbacks. I’m seeking help to refine my resume for better impact.

Thanks in advance for your time and input!

I need to know any red flags here and what I can do about them. Worried about looking like a job-hopper or a failure bc I'm getting far fewer responses to my resume than I think my combined education and experience should have gotten. I also hadn't looked for a new FT job cold since before the pandemic and i hear exact matches and transferrable skills have gotten stricter since then.

Started my career working analytics roles in prestigious financial firms. Joined the first, one promotion, switched companies to avoid site relocation (lateral move in rank), one promotion.

Leave to get fulltime MBA which I think is a stupid idea but degree fanatic immigrant parents insist and I'm worried they will pull promised large help with downpayment. Am promptly proven right as MBA recruitment plunges off a cliff the two years I am there with consulting firms, tech, biopharma all shedding jobs and pulling back intern offers. Had been thinking of trying life sciences industry bc in NJ, get an internship in a small firm, scientific setback during my internship leads to layoffs and no return offer.

Second year of MBA and recruiting is still bad across the board. Get home, take a bit of time to decompress, get back into swing of things. Now trying to find some data heavy position in risk, sales, or other analytics roles in either finance or pharma, preferably in Mid-Atlantic or New England.

Thanks!

CV

Hello.

I'm currently in a role that is a combination of a Business Analyst/Data Analyst/Data Engineer/Automation for the past 3 years. I came in not knowing anything and learned everything on the job as I have a supportive manager that allowed me to learn and grow. But I'm at the point now where I'd like to move into a more specialized role.

I'm looking for a Data Analyst specific position, or even a Jr. Data Engineering position - though I've seen very few Jr. DE postings.

I've been sending out my CV here and there over the last 1.5 years for any Data Analyst related positions (Canadian HCOL city) that come up and have had zero callbacks from about 100+ applications. I figure it has something to do with my resume, and so I wanted to get your feedback.

One thing I am missing is a Github/portfolio, is this detrimental? I've heard mixed feedback.. but maybe it's the one thing that's keeping me back!

Appreciate any feedback on how I can make it past the screening to securing some interviews.

Hello everyone, I recently graduated last May and I am currently looking for employment in IT. I am mainly applying for roles in the Washington D.C/ Northern Virginia area, because that is where I currently live and I am not really interested in branching out unless I get a really good offer. I am applying locally whether its remote or on site. I've applied to at least 100+ jobs and only gotten contacted for an interview twice, so I was wondering if my resume was the issue. I don't have a specific role that I am looking for, as I am still trying to get food in the door for any IT role that it willing to accept me. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

I know that you should tweak your resume regularly and tailor your cover letter with each application. But what about those of us who are in one field, looking to advance or change fields, but also have been heavily involved in a completely separate field?

This is what I'm thinking, and forgive me because I tend to hyperfixate by hyperorganising.

Resume #1 - the dream job. I have a lifelong hobby that I have been competing and advancing in my entire life. This hobby was/is a family sport and I grew up competing. I still do as much as time allows. It's the reason I wake-up. The job market for this industry is highly niched and typically very low. Everyone knows everyone because there's no one else. Over the past several years this industry has started to branch out into tourism by offering our experiences to not only our community but the general public. I have been religiously stalking these organizations, hoping to find something. I'm not. But I want a resume ready to go for when it eventually happens. Eventually, someone has to retire, right?! I've even considered a recruiter to watch for these jobs for me.

Resume #2 - my actual career could easily be remote. My employer doesn't believe in the remote/hybrid model, so I often spend my mornings doing my actual work and my afternoons being a distraction. I would like to have a resume ready for true remote positions in my field. "True," meaning home is where the wifi is.

Resume #3 - I love my job. Truly, actually, love my job. I would honestly retire with my current employer - IF my pay matched the market value in my area. I found out earlier this year that the pay for my position at other local entities is considerably more. When I questioned my director, I received the "well, we're nonprofit" runaround along with some nonsense about how our endowment for 2025, yada. As much as I love my job, if the salary makes it difficult to stay afloat pending any life changes and knowing what I know about my cohorts at other organizations, I can be bought. If I can't be remote, I would like a working resume for other local companies in my area. So, basically what I'm doing now, but with proper pay.

Resume #4 - International relocation within the same field I am currently in. Yes, I realize the difficulties and hurdles. I've done research, visited, and have taken language classes for the countries I would consider. I have casually spoken with an immigration attorney for my top choice. I have also considered a recruiter for this.

Is this obsessive?

I have an extremely niched hobby. I am the only manager in my position at a niched nonprofit. And I would jump ship (countries) if the opportunity arose. I don't feel like this is one resume. But maybe I'm wrong?

I do healthcare/pharmaceutical marketing and am searching for a new role.

Most people don't know that I am ten years in remission from a rare blood disorder. I see a role that I'm interested in that is dedicated to the rare blood category - Is it worth including that I am a former patient as a way to stand out?

Normally, the advice I would give to someone like myself is "no" citing the risk of getting discriminated against. But is it awful in every instance?

I would only consider doing this on a separate resume that I only use for these specific roles.

Other examples for consideration:

• A former St. Jude patient applying for a Pediatric Oncology PA position at a local hospital
• A former cancer patient marketing a new cancer treatment to healthcare providers

Hello, I'm currently a college student who hasn't worked before. This is the first resume I made, and need help if this is good enough for retail or fast food jobs. I don't have any work experience besides having some involvement in a club at my school.

I’ve read a few articles online about interactive resumes that help us job seekers stand out from others. However I’m not sure how I would go about creating this, some suggestion say Canva or Power Bi?

If anyone has experience with interactive resumes, and what worked / what didn’t it would be great to see what you thought?

Thanks!

Revised my resume to be compatible with ATS. I would appreciate it if the content, especially Work Experience and Core Skills, could be reviewed. I'm applying for remote marketing roles.

The company I have been employed by for 10 years, “Yellow Bananas United, Inc.”, is being bought by “New Corp”. The new company I will be working for is “Yellow Bananas Market, LLC”. How should this be reflected on my resume? Should I just change YBUI to YBML and keep the years, or end the section with YBUI and start a new section for YBML, and list some sort of explanation for the change on both? Another question, just in case it ends up this way, would it be different if my employer went from YBUI to New Corp? Thanks for the help!

Hi, I am currently looking for advice as I haven’t been able to secure employment due to employers discriminating against my employment history. Here is more context

I graduated in 2017 with a chemistry degree and following that it took about a year to get an employment opportunity after sending out hundreds of resume/cover letters to just about every type of job I could find. Initially I was trying for industry but I only got 4 interviews total out of the hundreds upon hundreds I sent out.

My first job was at a dispensary, I was doing inventory work and using my chemistry degree and knowledge to implement some SOP’s for the company I worked for and also for educational purposes for other staff members. This was a completely licensed and fully legal shop, I was also doing regulatory stuff and part of the team that conducted audits of inventory to report to the local governments and law enforcement agencies.

After this I had a slight gap in employment due to covid causing me severe headaches that impaired my ability to do very simple day to day tasks, so I had to resign my position through the union we were in.

Anyways I have been working at a grocery store since because someone vouched for me and I have been there for 1.5 years now. I am trying to seek other employment opportunities but have had no luck so far.

I have been personally told by people that worked at companies I applied to that the hiring managers saw my employment history and immediately toss the application due to the job history being cannabis related. I know that’s not technically legal but I can’t prove it either.

So my question is: do I scrap all things related to my cannabis employment? Do I lie about employment history? If I have a gap that large is that worse than having the cannabis industry employment. Everyone I have talked to keeps getting annoyed and telling me that getting rid of my cannabis employment and having a gap will solve my problems(I think I’m just stuck regardless now). Someone said to replace all the cannabis employment with taking care of elderly family members.

Any insight would be appreciated

Hello everyone! If any employers or professionals in the tech industry, particularly web development, are here, I’d really appreciate your feedback on my resume.Here is the link to the resume. Thank you very much.
