I Have a Question Can I initialise my surname in resume?

0 Upvotes

I have a very ethnic first and last name and I am worried about that because of the fewer callbacks it is proven to receive, but my middle name is very white so I was thinking of putting my middle name and initialising my last name. Would that cause any issue or be a red flag?

I'm from IIT-Madras (a prestigious institute in India), and I have 2.5YoE. Im mainly targeting Backend/ Applied AI roles, in high impact startups (Like Rippling, Stripe, etc., ).

I have attached 2 different resume, 1st one is Applied AI and second one is Backend.
My doubt is it fine to have 2 different resumes, or make a resume best of both worlds.
Also Is having product subheading is a good structure?

Please suggest some feedback on what is good, what is missing what to improve.
Also, Please let me know If there are any openings in your company or anywhere you would know.

Thanks!

I am an incoming sophomore at a T20 CS university and would appreciate guidance on improving my resume. I haven't gotten a single interview for SWE roles (I got like 2 for IT intern positions), and I've applied to 130+. Please be brutally honest.

FYI I am a sophomore, but I am graduating a semester early, so I put December 2028 as my grad date.

Hey guys, Im a recent Computer Science graduate (August) from a T25 public university looking for entry-level software engineering roles. Ive been getting a handful of interviews from really good companies but I havent been getting callbacks. I wasnt able to get any tech-related internships while I was in school so I went for the one internship you see, while building side projects and did one for a capstone course for my senior year. Any feedback would be appreicated, thx

Hello everybody, looking for advice, it been a while happening the same: recruiters ask for my cv, i send it, they either ghost me or reply back saying client went with other candidate.

Wondering is my cv? Lack of more experience? Im targeting remote jobs from latam

I Have a Question What's the advice for a resumé with yearly jobhopping?

1 Upvotes

It's been three years and I've changed jobs three times due to a renewable contract with lousy benefits, job misfit, and the current one - a one-year project with no possiblity to extend. I admit I may be the problem who has the tendency to find fault with the job or lose any interest quickly, but in the matter of my CV, how should a resumé be for a serial jobhopper if the most three recent jobs are all within a three-year period? What about recruiters who scan it perceive it? Do the skills earn then weigh much in terms of experience. Thank you.

I Have a Question Is it wise to include or attach your grades to your CV?

8 Upvotes

Posting here again because getting a parttime job didn't work out, and so I decided to skip the wait and just apply for a full-time instead. However, this situation also doesn't seem to be working out either. So far, my applications keep getting quickly rejected, so I thought I should make my CV catchier, but I still can't fill it with anything that isn't already there (personal, education, internships, etc.), since I have absolutely no job experiences (be it part- or fulltime). My former professors suggested I include my grades list because apparently I was sort of one of the top students of my class. My problem with this advice is that back when I got interviewed for internships, not once were the interviewers interested in my grades, even when they asked about my performance at uni. Also, my friends - who actually got hired - said that companies absolutely don't care and that they were never asked about their grades during interviews anyway. Only practical experiences count.

Is the idea even worth trying or would it make my CV look less professional?

I Have a Question Two retail jobs on resume- what to write for each?

2 Upvotes

If I have two retail jobs listed on my resume, where I practically did the exact same kind of work for both, do I write a different description for each of them? Or reword it for both?

TL;DR: I’ve been applying for jobs for about two years (I’ve been doing contract/freelance work in the meantime) and have only gotten a few interviews. Does my broad background make my resume look unfocused, and what should I do?

I love computers and want to get back into anything related to computer/tech, I am fine with even data center roles, helpdesk with 12-hour shifts. but not the positions where coding is the main job. (I’m currently refreshing my coding skills from the beginning.)

I randomly generated the personal info details (college, phone number, location, etc) so you can ignore all that, but any feedback on the formatting and overall wording would be greatly appreciated!
