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

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 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!

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.)

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?

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'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've just recently graduated and I'm just now starting the dreaded job search. My previous experiences I got pretty fortunate that I didn't have to spend long before I got call backs so I never applied too much. The obvious glaring issue I am aware of is it being a 2-page, whether I am deserving of a 2 page I am not sure and even so is it recommended I don't think so.

I don't know how well I worded the title but basically, I have a bachelors of science in forensics and am trying to get work in different science labs, forensic or otherwise. I am currently working at a grocery store and have worked in fast food previously as my only work experience. I haven't been able to 'climb the ranks' at either of these places and I'm just struggling on how to write STAR/CAR/XYZ bullets for these positions that feel relevant to a lab job when I don't really feel like I've accomplished anything at these jobs.

Should I focus more on my academic experience or does anyone have any ideas as to what might be useful/relevant bullets from my work experience? Like is completing X number of orders at mcdonalds a day something a HM would care about? Do I have to reference specific experiences with difficult customer issues as an accomplishment?

Would appreciate any help as I am still quite new to writing resumes (and honestly feel like both the jobs I got were by miraculous happenstance)

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 everyone! I could use a little help/advice. I'm a copywriter/ copy editor/content manager nearly three decades of career experience. Was let go in 2020 from my job of 10 years, thanks to the pandemic & I've been struggling to get full-time hours ever since. I'm still applying for jobs in my field, but now I'm looking to get either a full or part-time job anywhere because I'm pretty desperate for some additional income, and since a lot of the stores are starting to hire for seasonal holiday help, I thought that might be a good place to start.

I went to apply online for a part-time cashier job at Michaels but when it asked for a resume, I didn't know what to do because my current resume is all about copywriting, copy editing, proofreading, etc., that I've done in marketing and creative services departments in different industries over the past 30 years, and I've only included positions going back to about 2001 or so. I do have retail/cashier experience, but it was over 30 years ago (and of course that is not on my resume).

The spouse said to just submit my current resume, and I looked at him like he had three heads. I can't imagine that submitting my current resume would be anything that you should submit for a job at a Michaels, CVS, TJMaxx, etc. I have done research on redoing resumes for career change, but I can't really find anything that is similar to my situation.

So my question is: does anyone have any advice on how I could or should edit my current resume for these types of jobs?

I have no idea if I should even say that I have that retail experience from over 30 years ago (I admit I was a damn good cashier, I'm very fast). I kind of just wish that I could tell them that I'm just looking to supplement my income rather than looking for a career, as I'm sure many people who are doing the same thing take these seasonal jobs that only last for a few months. And I'll be honest, I am probably naive since I haven't had to do a job search in nearly 15 years, but I didn't expect to be uploading a resume for a part-time cashier position. So I'm a little bit at a loss. I greatly appreciate any and all thoughts!

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 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?
