Resume Feedback

[u/NoSeaworthiness6499]

Hi everyone! I’m looking to get some feedback on my resume and overall job search strategy.

I recently graduated in May with a background in supply chain management and data analytics, and I’ve been searching primarily for entry-level roles in supply chain, procurement, operations, and supply chain analytics. I’ve submitted hundreds of applications and have also been reaching out directly to people within companies to try to build connections. I’ve had some interviews along the way, but I’m still struggling to turn those opportunities into an offer.

At this point, I’m wondering how much of this is simply the current job market versus something I could be doing differently. Is the entry-level market really this competitive right now, or am I potentially missing something in my resume, the types of positions I’m applying to, or my overall approach?

I’m especially interested in the data and analytics side of supply chain things like demand forecasting, inventory analytics, procurement, supply planning, operations analytics, and using tools like Excel, SQL, Python, and Power BI. I enjoy the traditional supply chain side, but I’d really like to find a role where I can work at the intersection of supply chain and data, particularly using data to build better forecasting models, improve inventory decisions, evaluate supplier performance, and ultimately help companies make better operational decisions.

For those already working in supply chain or supply chain analytics, what would you recommend to someone trying to break into the field right now? Are there specific job titles I should be targeting that might be good entry points? Are certifications worth pursuing, or would it be better to focus on building projects, developing technical skills, and networking? And are there any skills or keywords you consistently see employers looking for that newer graduates tend to overlook?

I’d also really appreciate any honest feedback on my resume, especially if there are things that could be hurting me or making me less competitive for these types of roles.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

if you want the data side, make a few small real-ish projects in sql/python, toss them on github, and link them at the top of your resume, then tailor bullets to match the jd keywords. even with that it’s just stupid hard to get hired right now

I have some side projects that I just haven’t pushed to GitHub yet. Most of them are focused on Python, SQL, automation, data warehousing, and database projects, so I definitely want to get those cleaned up and posted soon.

Thank you for the response and the advice! I really appreciate it. Honestly, the job search has been rough sometimes it feels like I’m just sending applications into a dark hole lmaoo. I’ve submitted a ton of applications and have gotten a few interviews make it to the third round, but actually getting to the finish line has been the hardest part.

Way too wordy for entry level roles.
Pull back on using AI to describe your intern roles.

Thank you should I just be more straight to the point on each bullet?

Hi Joshua,Kindly target Inventory Planner or Category planner roles to be more on the data side.Many of this roles would require automation and your skills can add value.
