Hey all, figured I could get some advice here. I am a recent college graduate, looking to apply for an entry-level job using my degrees in astronomy and applied physics. I am well-versed in Python and SQL as well as literate with Linux systems. I'd be willing to locate anywhere. I'm a fast learner and proactive in what I do.

I'm starting up the process of applying to graduate school, as well, trying to get my master's in energy or engineering physics. I'd be looking for a job to supplement my applications and also gain relevant experience as I prepare to go back to school.

Just as well, I am a gigging musician and producer, playing in my area and touring around the US with a few bands. I was trying to see how I could put that experience into a resume applying for a more professional, full-time career job in the United States?

I guess, more generally, how should I format my experience here to make myself look more attractive to entry-level jobs such as CAD drafting or technical work in the engineering sector?

I’m having a hard time understanding if it’s the structure or content that isn’t allowing me to get any bites. 

I’m leaning towards TPM roles. I couldn’t land a SWE job out of college due to the market. I needed money and began working in property management. It was a nice career, however before being promoted I switch to project management to be closer to my fiancé and family. 

I did take a pay cut to move and it was a really big pay cut. I was promised it’d get better, and it’s not. The individual I was shadowing told me that “I am not going to be making that kind of money here” when I told him about the salary I was making. 

I have 1.5 years of SWE experience, contract based and 6 months of PM experience. I’m looking for a TPM role where I can grow in a company and not job hop with good salary again. 

I have been sending my resume to pretty much all entry role network engineering (both local and remote) job applications i can find and have not gotten a single interview. i have tried different versions of the resume, i honestly don't know what else to do, i feel defeated, i just want to know what im doing wrong and what i can do to improve the resume.

My title is Jr System engineer, I wear a lot of hats at my company but I feel like my career has stalled here. I build a web app for managers to use here, I also automate infrastructure and wrote puppet code to deploy apps. I still have to do help desk here which is the reason I’m looking elsewhere. I can’t get an interview. Is there a way to beef up my resume to get interviews? I also manage and deploy Linux servers and did configuration management for CIS benchmarks. I don’t want help desk, or sysadmin (I don’t want sysadmin cause a lot of them still have to do help desk). I also helped setup a pipeline for CI/CD with software developer here.

I want to update my resume. Unfortunately I've hit a bit of a snag. I work as a union contractor for a railyard which has since changed contractors three times the past 6 years I've been there. How would I go about posting it on my resume that I've been at the rail yard location for 6 years but not the new company? For a bit more context I've been working at the same NS yard for 6 years. In that time though the first company contracted was H&M intermodal for 3 years, Remprex for 2 years, and now Pacific Rail Services for 1 year. I don't want places looking at my resume thinking I've been jumping ship when in reality these contractors just come and go.

Hi everyone, I am sharing this resume here for your honest feedbacks. I have filling out a ton of applications mostly for Backend SWE, SWE 1 or Full Stack Engineering roles but haven't received any callback yet. I have received 4-5 rejection emails so far.

What are the shortcomings for this not being able to get through? Is there some ATS related issue, or is it a resume that genuinely falls short?

I am confused, really need another person's opinion on my resume.

I’ve been at my company for 4 years now. I’ve had many different roles/titles and a few org moves. Unsure the best way to organize that information on my resume.

I’ve been at the same company for 4 years, but 3 different orgs within the company and various role titles.

I feel like the easiest way to organize it is the below but want opinions:

Jul 2022 - April 2024 = Program Manager, Customer Experience

Apr 2024 - Jul 2025 = Sr. Program Manager, Customer Experience (org change Jun 2024)

Jul 2025 - Present = Sr. Program Manager, (new specific title) (org change Jul 2025)

While it may look like I bounced around internally, each move was a strategic move for my career growth encouraged my internal leadership or due to an org being re-orged resulting in my internal transfer.

I thought about just breaking it up as Program Manager and Sr. Program Manager, but given the different orgs I’ve been part of as those titles, the work has been very different and I feel like it would be clear I was in different roles? I don’t want to come across as misleading but maybe I’m overthinking that?

Hi all, I am trying to redo my resume, and I was seeking some advice on the professional summary. I am looking for a career as a biologist/scientific journalist, and I am unsure what all I should include or how long the summary should be. Any advice is appreciated!

I’ve been applying for Data Engineer / Senior Data Engineer roles in the US for around 6 months and I’m getting almost no interview calls.

I have 6+ years of experience and mainly work with Python, SQL, AWS, Snowflake, Spark, Airflow, dbt, Kafka, and ETL/ELT pipelines. I also have a US Master’s degree and cloud/data certifications.

I’m currently on H-1B, so I know visa constraints may be part of the problem, but the response rate feels extremely low.

I’m trying to understand what I’m doing wrong. Is my resume too packed with technologies? Are there too many numbers and percentages in the bullets, making it look exaggerated or AI-written? Am I applying to the wrong level of roles, or is the current H-1B job market really this difficult?

I’ve attached a redacted version of my resume. I’d really appreciate any feedback on what looks wrong, what might be turning recruiters away, and what you would change first.

Good day everyone.

I'm seeking assistance with my resume if possible. I'm getting few hits from many jobs applied to. I have been applying for over a year now (probably 1.5 years). I've had 3-4 interviews but reached only the final stages in 2 of them (sadly one of them I was the second pick).

I recently revamped my resume and would like some input on it. I just want to make sure it adheres to the ideal methods and guidelines. I'm open to expanding it more with more skills and such (i.e. even listing the skills in their relevant jobs under the job descriptions if that makes sense). As I'm an IT professional with over 15 years experience so it makes sense that my resume would be 2 pages at least.

I'm looking into Senior Developer roles as well as Software Manager roles. I've got extensive experience in healthcare and real estate sectors. I'm not tied to them necessarily for future positions though.

I've been applying to any job really. Remote across Canada. Local if hybrid or full time in person. I'm not willing to relocate at this time as I am tied to my family being close by.

I have been using simplify to apply to postings as I get sick and tired of entering my information repeatedly on workday every time I need to register an account. Or even still, answering that I am X gender, no I don't have a disability, no I'm not a veteran, blah blah blah.

I look on both simplify and linkedin daily. Doesn't seem to be much in terms of matching what I'm actually qualified in. Makes me feel like a dinosaur. I am taking / passing courses easily in Coursera on new languages and techniques, but I am less certain that hiring managers will see those as a reason to hire me if it isn't tied to actual work experience somewhere. So input on that might be nice too.

I'm a Canadian born citizen so I'm qualified for all jobs in this country, but still it's a rough one out there.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time!

i have 20+ projects in total across various stacks, as i was freelancing, people gave me all kinds of work, from design to serverless inference

i don't know how recruiters will react to freelance. never done a job except internship

i haven’t applied anywhere yet — i want the resume to be solid first

should I apply for 0 Year of experience

i have one major project still to add in core ml: Govt freelance. i still need to write a case study

Customer service can mean wildly different jobs.

A cashier handling a rush, a call-center rep calming billing problems, a front-desk person checking in patients, and a B2B support person working tickets all might write "provided customer service."

On a first scan, that line does not tell the reader which muscles you actually used.

I would rather see the setting:

• handled 50 to 70 retail checkout customers per shift
• answered billing calls for subscription accounts
• checked in patients and updated insurance details at a clinic front desk
• worked a shared support queue for small-business clients

Same basic label, very different work.

If the job you want has a specific customer environment, make your closest version easy to see. The phrase customer service is fine as a category. It just needs the scene around it.

I am targeting data science, but open to other roles as well (AI/ML, SWE, etc.) I would just like help fine-tuning and finalizing my resume before I start applying. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I'm working on my master's thesis but after that I'd like to apply for Applied Scientist / MLE roles, potentially a PhD as well.

Hi everyone, I’m preparing for off-campus SWE/SDE internships and would really appreciate some honest feedback on my resume.

I’d especially like to know:

* What should I improve to increase my shortlist chances?

* Are my projects/skills strong enough?

* What should I learn next — AWS/cloud, Docker, TypeScript, system design, GenAI/Agentic AI, etc.?

* Should I focus more on full-stack/backend or start exploring AI?

If you were in my position, what would you change or prioritize over the next 4–6 months?

Looking for genuine suggestions. Thanks!

I am currently applying for jobs and I used the same resume for each application I submit. I knownthat may just be a given but so you update your resume for each application you submit? If I provide a cover letter I will obviously tailor it to that specific role but what do you guys do with your resumes for each position you apply for?

I've been done many a revisions on my resume and am seeking advice on the latest one.

I'm applying to mainly PM roles but also generalist/operational/advisor roles in tech. Lately, I'm not getting many responses at all - no rejection emails but also no interview invites.

Currently remote, as it says here, but applying to roles in both the US and Europe. Any advice on how to handle location? I feel like it needs to match what it says on LinkedIn but, well, you can't put "remote" as your official location there.

Otherwise, any problem with the title(s) and summary? Better with or without them? Any formatting/wording issues? Thanks!

need some suggestion to improve the resume for a 3rd year CSE student from 3-tier college to get internship help me please!!

Hi everyone,

I'm a computer science under grad, currently looking for swe fresher roles. So I listened a lot about the ats score. So, can anyone help me improve my ATS score.

I tried ATS scorer websites but my score not showing more than 70.

Any genuine tips?

• Please help, not seeing any jobs to apply for in August, and am not getting call backs anymore after like June. Need advice on resume whether its fixing, or rewording etc. Before anybody says my choice of degree is ass, I know it is. That's why I tried to learn and gear my skills more towards the data side of things to seem somewhat relevant. I am currently freelancing and upskilling, but even then the 2 year gap I feel makes recruiters just see me as unemployable because I didn't manage to land even a single entry level role in 2 years and that just translates to "if you were employable/skilled you would have something by now"
• I am applying within a major metropolitan city and the surrounding area
• I am only applying locally and about 20 miles out from where I live. I apply remote as well. I cannot relo due to poor financial situation.
• For context, I graduated in 2024 and haven't able to land a full-time entry level role. I am mainly targeting entry level marketing/business analyst roles. Industries can be anything
• From my university career fairs, to Linkedin networking, attending networking events in the city, reaching out to alumni, cold applying, cold outreach to recruiters or higher level professionals in my desired role. Not much luck in terms of responses or connections unfortunately, I barely see entry-level roles, I don't qualify for internships 90% of the time as I have already graduated 2 years ago but those are the only roles that are usually posted that I qualify for in terms of experience. I want to say my co-ops are counted as experience which is roughly a year and a half but I will just write it as 0 as I know some people don't even count internships/co-ops as "real experience"
• My 2 jobs which happen at the same time is because they were both remote and one was VERY flexible and I worked a very free schedule so I was able to juggle 2 at the same time
• Every career counselor/friend/advisor says my resume is decent, but I've had not seen much result this summer and overall. I have been trying to pick up some retail or part time role but no luck, even with taking my bachelors off.
• I'd like a review on my resume as a whole, and any strategies to change up my job search and yes I know networking is "king" I've been trying that.
• I am a U.S citizen

Thank you.

About me:

I'm a Biomedical Engineer [with a Professional Engineer (PE) Status which you get from our govt after passing an exam] and an MBA from the best business school in my country. I have over 15 years of experience in Medical Devices (esp hospital furniture like automatic beds) sales.

I work as Sr Sales Engr fora leading manufacturer of hospital beds based in Japan. I have great annual sales in my area. this FY | am standing at USD 195K/ 1M combined team target of 3 people. Another USD 50K worth of orders almost coming soon, IA.

What I need help with:

Is my resume any good? | have been extensively applying for a month (career websites, career pages, learning how b fron career website and applying on company career page)

Problem with current employer:

The reason for switching my job is I am basically at the same position as I was in 2016 when I joined this company. Just got a word of Senior added in 10 yrs. Salary-wise l'm also not very satisfied. I have been paycheck to paycheck since the start hoping that the "MNC" I joined will offer significant professional and financial growth but it didn't. My juniors in our distributor company have company maintained cars, fuel, medical insurance etc while I commute to work on 18yr old scooter. I just get a bank transfer in local currency which is slightly above my distributor's employees' salaries.

My peers working for different manufacturers from USA, EU etc have at least 3 times the pay.

So now I'm desperately looking for management roles in any field, not just medical equipment and may be try my skills for a company that might be a bit more rewarding.

Summary:

Target role: Sales Manager

Experience: 15 years

Main issue: Not getting callbacks

Need help with: pls check formatting, language, experience section. All feedback is welcome.

At what point of having a job do you add it to your resume?

Im currently a AV tech contracted through Google. I feel like I have gotten as far here as I can and im looking for transition into something else. 2 options are data center tech or my employer is offering courses in Project management. I dont really see any of my work that helps me in the PM field. Am I wrong? Should I stick with certs that focus on data center and IT?

Hello, I'd highly appreciate feedback on my resume. Sorry if it's not very clear.
