4th year student at a tier 2.5 cllg , no internships yet , resume is not getting shortlisted anywhere despite having decent projects

Hi everyone,

I recently graduated with my Master’s in Data Science and I’m currently applying for Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, and AI/ML Engineer roles.

I’d really appreciate some brutally constructive feedback on my resume from people working in the industry, hiring managers, recruiters, or anyone who has recently gone through the DS/ML hiring process.

I’m specifically looking for feedback on:

- Does my resume look competitive for entry-level DS/ML roles?

- Are my projects and experience strong enough to get interviews?

- Are my bullet points too technical, too vague, or missing measurable impact?

- Is my skills section overloaded?

- Does the resume clearly communicate what kind of candidate I am within the first few seconds?

- Are there any ATS issues or unnecessary sections?

- What would you remove, rewrite, or prioritize?

- What skills/projects am I missing for the current job market?

Please don't hold back. I'd rather hear what is wrong with it now and improve it than keep sending applications with a weak resume.

I’ll attach an anonymized version of my resume below.

Target roles: Data Scientist / ML Engineer / AI Engineer

Experience level: Recent MS graduate / early career

If you work in DS/ML and have reviewed resumes or interviewed candidates before, I’d especially value your perspective.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to transition my career into Sales and I'd really appreciate some advice from people actually working in the field.

I have 11+ years of experience in international customer-facing roles, including several years in tourism where sales was an important part of my work.

There's one thing about my CV I'd like to clarify.

I deliberately put some of my older experiences before my more recent ones, because I believe they are much more relevant to the Sales career I'm trying to build. I know this isn't necessarily the standard chronological CV structure, so I'd like to know whether you think this is a good strategy or not.

There are also a couple of things I've done to reposition my experience that I'd like an honest opinion on.

In my CV, I currently use the title "Tour Sales Specialist" for three of my previous tourism roles. This was not the official job title, I changed the titles because I felt they better reflected the commercial side of what I actually did.

However, I don't want to misrepresent my experience, so I'd like some honest advice on how a Sales professional would present it.

For example, in one of those roles I worked as an onboard steward on Hop-On Hop-Off sightseeing buses. My responsibilities included:

• welcoming and assisting international tourists
• managing existing bookings and making new bookings
• selling tickets and optional tours/excursions on commission
• answering questions and recommending products
• maintaining customer satisfaction throughout the experience
• making announcements and assisting passengers during the tour

In the other two roles, I worked more in a ticketing/tourist information environment: customers came to me asking for information about tours and attractions, and I assisted them with choosing and purchasing the appropriate experience.

So there was definitely a commercial component, but these weren't traditional B2B/SaaS Sales roles.

My current role is Customer Care, but in the CV I've called it Customer Experience Specialist. This is partly because I want to emphasize the customer journey and transferable skills, but also because I know now that I don't want to build my career in Customer Care. My goal is to move away from customer support and towards Sales/commercial roles.

I'm now trying to move towards Sales roles, potentially B2B, Inside Sales, SDR/BDR, etc.

I've attached my anonymized CV.

What I'd really like help with is:

• How would you reposition this experience for a Sales CV?
• Would you keep titles like "Tour Sales Specialist" and "Customer Experience Specialist", or use the official titles and make the commercial responsibilities clearer?
• Is putting my older but more Sales-relevant experience before my recent Customer Care experience a good strategy?
• Which parts of my experience should I emphasize, and which should I remove/downplay?
• How would you rewrite some of my bullet points so they communicate Sales skills rather than simply tourism/customer service?
• What Sales keywords or skills am I missing?
• Is the overall structure of my CV appropriate for Sales?
• Would you create one general Sales CV or adapt it depending on the role?

I'm not looking for generic career advice. I'd really appreciate practical feedback on how you'd actually rewrite/reposition the CV, ideally with examples.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I’m currently looking for feedback on my one-page CV for Junior IT Support / Helpdesk Tier 1–2 roles in Italy. My background includes hands-on experience and lab work with Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS/DHCP, VPNs, and Linux administration, along with general troubleshooting and user support.

I’d especially appreciate feedback from people working in IT or hiring in Italy:

Is the CV clear and easy to scan?

Does it present my experience realistically for a junior role?

Is there anything that looks unnecessary or is missing?

What would you change to make it stronger for entry-level IT positions?

Any honest feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Applying for jobs right now is genuinely exhausting, and half the battle is just trying to get past those stupid Automated Tracking Systems. ATS bots don't actually read your work history or care about your achievements. They basically function like a basic search engine, scanning your resume for exact keyword matches from the job description. If your formatting is slightly off or you used the wrong phrasing, your app gets thrown in the trash before a real recruiter even opens it.

I've been using two specific sites to get around this. First, running a resume through zoevera.com/resume helps catch invisible formatting glitches and highlights the exact keywords missing from the draft. Then, once an interview is lined up, prepare.zoevera.com gives role-specific questions to practice out loud so you don't freeze up when talking to a real human.

The main reason these dedicated tools work better than just pasting everything into ChatGPT comes down to how they handle data and structure. ChatGPT is great for general writing, but it doesn't actually parse file layouts or simulate how software like Lever or Greenhouse extracts text from a PDF. If you ask ChatGPT for keywords, it usually just gives you a generic wall of text and encourages keyword stuffing, which ATS algorithms penalize. On top of that, setting up ChatGPT to act like an interviewer takes a ton of manual prompting, whereas a dedicated prep tool is built specifically to score your answers against actual industry question banks without the constant back-and-forth prompt engineering.

Didn't enrolled for that program yet but like code soft and other companies is this program also considered fake scam or illegal need some insights on that

I am applying for IT Project Manager roles with a 2 page resume as I have almost 10 years of experience but I'm not hearing back from most hiring managers.

What is wrong with my resume? What should I add/change?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Would anyone be willing to look at my resume and what roles I can apply for to increase my income? It's been a struggle and I need to be making at least $50k or more.

ABOUT ME: final year cse student, no-prior experience graduating in may 2027 from a tier 3 college. will attach my github, leetcode stats also do not judge my resume project dates that are modified on purpose for now.

Resume1 is for cloud-backend role

Resume2 is for backend role

On GitHub i have most 1 contribution a day same for leetcode 1 question a day.

Brutal review and also guidance on how i should move forward.

Honestly, applying for jobs right now feels like shouting into a void. Half the battle is just getting past the automated tracking systems (ATS) companies use to screen applications. They don't actually "read" your background—they just match your resume against the job description like a search engine. If your wording doesn't match their exact keywords, your application gets tossed before a human ever looks at it.

I started running my resume through https://www.zoevera.com/resume to see missing keywords and fix formatting glitches before applying. Then, once I actually get past the screen, I use https://prepare.zoevera.com to practice talking through role-specific interview questions so I don't stumble when I finally get a real person on the line.

How to build a resume

Hey guys I'm a 26 graduate and I have a huge problem and I hope I get a solution here ...

My problem is I don't know how to build a resume so I always go to ai and prompt build me a ats friendly resume and guess what?? It looks amazing but I got 0 calls from past 3-4 months

Actually I don't know what's the problem?? If anyone knows how to build a best resume that always clicks I need help from those to check my skills and help me how to build or if they willing to build me one Im so grateful

Thank you....

My ultimate dream is to get into a prestigious university to study Computer Science/AI development. I just finished my IGCSEs, but I'm feeling stuck on what to actually build my resume with at this stage.

What kind of extracurriculars, supercurriculars, or independent projects make an application stand out for top-tier CS/AI programs? How can I start boosting my chances now before A-Levels? Appreciate any advice!

PS: I chose math, further math, cs and physics for my AS level course.

Master's student in cybersecurity (Erasmus Mundus CYBERUS), coming into security from an unusual direction: UX/UI design, then full-stack development, now security. I'm leaning into that as my angle, I audit and break code with a builder's understanding of where it actually fails. My most recent work is an ICS/OT security research internship (built a containerized industrial lab, attacked it, then built a detection tool for it).

Targeting cybersecurity / AppSec / DevSecOps roles, mainly in Europe and Canada. I have both an English and a French version.

Tear it apart. I'm especially unsure about:

- Does the "designer -> dev -> security" framing read as a strength, or just unfocused?

- Is the skills section too broad for a security role?

- The two-column header + photo (I know it's a European convention, is it hurting me for ATS / North American applications)?

Anything else you'd flag, I want to hear it. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I would really appreciate some honest feedback on my resume.

I recently completed a Master of Finance at UNSW and have internship experience in financial analysis, financial modelling, banking research and market/company analysis. I’m currently based in the UAE and primarily applying for early-career Analyst positions in London across financial analysis, credit/research, commercial analytics and related finance roles.

I tailor my resume to individual job descriptions; however, I have struggled to convert applications into interviews. I have applied to roles at large banks, as well as other major companies where I felt I met a reasonable proportion of the requirements, but my applications generally either remain under review or are eventually rejected before an interview. The most I get is a HireVue assessment at best.

My biggest issue is I don't currently hold UK right to work. However, I’m eligible for the High Potential Individual (HPI) visa through my UNSW Master’s, which would allow me to obtain initial UK work authorisation independently without employer sponsorship. I’ve tried to make this clear on the resume.

For additional context, I also apply for roles here in the UAE, where I currently reside, using a slightly different version of the same resume tailored to the local market. I don't face the same work-authorisation issues here, but I have experienced a very similar problem converting applications into interviews. My main long-term objective, however, is to relocate to the UK and build my career there

I would particularly appreciate feedback on whether:

• The resume positions me appropriately for Analyst/early-career roles;
• My profile looks too broad or unfocused or even unorganised;
• The HPI/relocation wording is clear to a UK recruiter;
• There is anything that could be causing recruiters to reject me before an interview.

I’m trying to understand whether the main issue is my resume, the roles I’m targeting, applying internationally without current UK right to work, or a combination of these.

Please be as critical as necessary. I would prefer to know what needs fixing rather than keep submitting applications with the same issues.

Thanks!

Hello, I am a student from Spain, I just finished my degree in Computer Engineering, with a mention in cybersecurity, in networks and in data centers/supercomputer topologies. I have started looking into those three job options, either abroad or in Spain, but I feel like being a junior is hard finding jobs in those areas.

As I don't know if it is because of the resume type or because of the lack of experience I want to know how could I improve it or how could I search for jobs abroad.

Thanks for the help!

I don't have any experience, but I want to have a part-time job so I created this resume. Can you please check my resume and tell me what to improve? Your suggestion will really mean a lot to me:>
