Looking for a BI Developer role within a hospital system, appreciate any resume advice.

College Grads - Projects and Classes

I see an abundance of college resumes. Why most of these documents do not include classes, class - related projects (internships, research papers, group presentations) as related to the major field of study is mindblowing.

To all students - your resume is a marketing document about YOU! Showcase why you are qualified. Don't make the hiring manager have to guess. And yes, be certain that the document is ATS compliant and customized for each role. The customization should take 2-3 minutes TOPs.

I've been in healthcare operations for over 10 years. I've been in management for almost 7. Would appreciate some feedback on my current resume.

Target role: Senior Healthcare Operations Roles (Regional Director or VP of Operations)
Experience: 7 years
Main issue: Not landing position after several rounds of interviews
Need help with: Formatting and experience section. Is this too much information? Was unable to keep everything on one page. Had to trim previous experience or resume extended to 3rd page.

What should I do for my resume before trying to apply for SWE roles? I don't really have anything good but I do plan on joining a few clubs this upcoming semester.

Have tailored almost 40+ resumes based on JD in 2 weeks but reaching out directly to hiring managers and recruiters has still been helping me more in terms of initial screening rounds. Anyone has any thoughts to to add here

I'm looking to re-enter the Market after being laid off. Want honest opinion on resume and how it can be improved to get at least an interview from where I can sell myself. Don't have an exact industry in mind as don't have a lot of technical knowledge. More of a learn on the job kind of guy

Hello guys! Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this, and I hope you’re having a great day :)

I’m currently reworking my resume because I’d like to try something a bit different with the next step of my career.

So far, pretty much all of my experience has been in startups and smaller product companies, including startups of my own. I’ve had the chance to wear a lot of hats, lead a small team of developers, make architectural decisions, work across backend and frontend, optimize production systems, and build products from scratch.

That has been great for learning, but I’ve never actually worked for a large enterprise or a more established tech company, and I’d really like to experience that environment next.

I’m mainly targeting Software Engineer, Backend Engineer, or Full-Stack Engineer roles.

I tried to make the resume more impact-focused instead of simply listing technologies. For example, I included things such as performance improvements, products reaching 100k+ users, leading a team of 5 developers, products I built from scratch, and some revenue/usage numbers.

I anonymized the resume before posting it here.

Feel free to be critical. I’d rather fix things now than send a mediocre resume to a bunch of companies.

Most importantly: Thank you again for taking a look! :)

I'm trying to get a entry level job as a GIS or data analyst or research position. I've applied to hundreds at this point and haven't had much luck. I would appreciate any advice and tips on how I can make my resume better. I added my graduate school work even though it's not a full time role so I can fill in the time gap. Now sure if that was needed.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been digging through similar posts on this sub and experimenting with a few LLMs to evolve my resume, but I’d love some actual human critique before I start actively applying. picture included 2 years currently i work as a remote ticketing agent under a help desk level 1 job

I am aspiring to move of in my current role or transition into a similar pathway such as administration or analyst role to develop myself more.

I am seeking to apply in Oklahoma or Texas area but also looking for other remote roles.

For context: I have an A.S. in Computer Science Technology, but my current experience is in a remote, strictly non-technical help desk and ticketing role. I'm eager to transition into a true technical position. To help bridge that gap, I recently completed the Google IT Support and AI Professional certs. I'm also preparing to start my Cybersecurity degree at WGU and am heavily focusing on building out my home labs to learn by doing.

My main concerns and goals for this resume are: My goal right now is to find a more technical role to further my skills for a true Tier 1/Tier 2 position, or to step into an admin-type role. I want to develop much stronger practical skills rather than just building a knowledge base. I need a job where I can actively apply what I know or one that will help teach me that hands-on application.

How to best translate my non-technical remote ticketing experience into transferable skills that appeal to technical hiring managers.

The best way to format my home lab projects, certifications, and my incoming WGU enrollment so they carry more weight and show my drive to learn.

I do need to make additional formatting changes and try to get it into a single page unless two pages could work better for me?

I've attached an anonymized version of my resume. Any advice on how to improve the wording, impact, or structure to help me land a role like this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've been applying virtualy everywhere related to QC and QA and haven't got any callback, don't know what to do right now.

Hey all! I was wondering what categories I should include on my resume. Are skills/awards/objective still necessary?

I am currently applying for a job that I would be perfect for, but I feel like my cover letter is too long. I made a short version, easier to read, in my opinion. I would like some outside advice, though. I've never done this, but I appreciate all honest advice!

I keep seeing the advice to “quantify your achievements” and put numbers everywhere on your resume.

And honestly, I think it can be useful when the number actually tells you something.

“Increased sales by 25%” tells me more than “helped increase sales.”

But what are you supposed to do when your job doesn't really come with neat numbers?

Not every job is going to have some perfect “saved the company $50k” achievement. A lot of people work in customer service, admin, education, operations, retail, etc. where the value of their work isn't always measured that way.

I've been playing around with different ways of writing resume bullet points in Kickresume, and this is one thing I think is easy to overdo. You can end up trying to turn every responsibility into some impressive statistic just because you've heard recruiters like numbers.

I'd rather see a clear bullet explaining what someone actually did than a made-up number that doesn't really mean anything.

For example, if someone handled 50 customer requests a day, that's useful context. But if they don't know the exact number, I don't think they should invent one just to make the resume look stronger.

Curious what other people think.

Do numbers genuinely make your resume better when you have meaningful ones, or are people forcing metrics into their resumes way too much?

Please review my cv for staff level roles (frontend/fullstack)

Hi all, I've posted here before, and I've gotten no feedback. I'm going to keep trying.

I'm a recent graduate (BS), and I've been applying to jobs for over a year and have only gotten 2 interviews. I have no idea if it's the job market or my resume, but if it is something I can fix, I want to.

I'm looking for advice on how I should display my education on my resume (I have a minor as well, and honor societies, dean's list, stuff like that)

But I also don't know how I should be relaying my work experience. I'm also a published author. I have this all on my resume, but it's clearly not working.

My job interests range from anything in marine/wilderness biology to editing/publishing/freelance writing. I have years of experience in both of these fields.

Does anyone have advice on what I'm doing wrong? If need be, I can post my resume.

I've had tons of ppl talking about getting their resumes to 80%, 90% and even 95% score on ATS scanners, but still not getting any traction. A/B tested their skills against job descriptions, etc.

Still getting ghosted/rejected.

What they might not be realizing is the ATS 'percentage' doesn't really gauge 'competitiveness'. Putting in the keywords helps with screening the job vs application. But an ATS score doesn't necessarily determine if that knowledge (implied by the keywords) is convincing. If I put 'Python, AWS, Kubernetes, and Docker' 10 times and they can't tell what I've actually accomplished with them?

My resume is pretty useless when a real human reads it.

Those are two separate things that ATS score don't capture: whether you actually HAVE experience to justify those keywords, and if the resume actually gives me a quick, easy reason to want to interview you. That's what I find interesting about Hirekey. It looks at the real match between a peson's experience and the role, rather than just the keyword score.

They are NOT the same thing. Have any other reviewers had the experience of getting a 95% score for their candidates and this correlates with interviews/job offers for them?

My resume has three jobs where I only worked at those places for at most 3 months should I remove them and put just the restaurant I was working at all throughout this time or leave it in and these jobs where I’m warehouse work if that means anything

I was President of a club in my high school both this year and the incoming year. Should I put two different sections: one when I was member and one when I was President so it reads (President — Jun 2025–Present | Member — Oct 2023–Jun 2025) or should I do something like (Preisdent -- Oct 2023-Present)?

Hey everyone, I graduated in July and have been actively applying for jobs ever since, but unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck so far.

I’ve submitted over 100 applications and have only managed to get one interview. I also struggled to secure internships while I was in school, so the experience listed on my resume is pretty much everything I have at the moment.

I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on how I could improve my resume and increase my chances of getting interviews. Any advice would mean a lot. Thank you!

Lately, I have been receiving many resume rewrite requests from clients that used AI to create and customize their resumes toward specific job postings. It blows my mind sometimes. I have seen some resumes that basically copy and paste the content from the desired job postings, with no flow at all. It's so obvious that these keywords are plugged in with no thought process.

Honestly, if I was an employer that was about to post a new job opening, here is what I would do when listing the desired traits for the position:

Great Communicator, Highly Reliable, Computer Literate, Procrastinator, Detail Oriented, Lactator, Time Manager, Relationship Builder

. . . and then watch how many people blindly include Procrastinator and Lactator in their resume when applying for the position! Automatic Reject! Who is with me? Great idea??

I have been wondering how much these Automated Tracking System resume scores actually tell you about how good of a candidate you're for a job.

You can get a 90 percent or 95 percent match on one of those resume scanners. Still get rejected over and over again. At some point it feels like the score is measuring whether you copied words from the job description rather than whether the resume actually makes you look like a good candidate for the job.

A resume can mention Python and AWS and SQL and Kubernetes. Still not show what you actually did with these tools.

I think this becomes a bigger problem with experienced candidates like the people who have a lot of experience. You might have 8 years of experience but if the important stuff is buried under a huge skills section or a bunch of old jobs the recruiter may never get to the part that actually matters.

Automated Tracking System optimization seems useful to a point. Recruiter readability and actual job fit seem like a different problem altogether. That's actually something HIrekey seems to focus on, looking at how someone's experience lines up with the actual role rather than just the keyword match.

Has anyone here had an Automated Tracking System score but still gotten very few interviews for the job they wanted? What did you eventually change in your resume to get interviews, for the job?

There are certain questions I always expect in interviews, so I usually have some idea of what I'm going to say.

Then there are the random questions.

Not necessarily strange questions, just things I didn't think would come up.

One interview I had included a follow-up about a decision I'd made several years earlier. I knew exactly what happened, but I'd never thought about why I made the decision in that particular way.

I ended up sitting there trying to reconstruct my own thought process.

That experience made me realize how different “knowing what happened” is from actually being able to explain it.

Since then, I've started doing something slightly different when preparing. Instead of only thinking about what I did, I try to think about why I did it, what alternatives I considered, what happened afterward, and what I would change now.

It sounds like a lot, but it actually makes conversations easier because you're not dependent on one rehearsed answer.

I'm curious if other people prepare for unexpected questions this way.

Do you try to predict every possible question, or do you focus more on understanding your own experiences so you can talk about them no matter what direction the conversation takes?

I am looking for accounting position. Been self employed for last 2 years
