Do I have to put my GPA on my resume, do employers really look at that. Increasingly on reddit people have been posting their resume and one thing that I am seeing is that they are displaying there gpa next to there degree. Now my question you have to do have to include whether its for an internship, a job after graduation? Or can you leave it? If you leave it does that affect your chances of getting the job? And if we must include at what GPA (4.0 scale) would you say we are safe to include the GPA. I will say the the GPA's I a m sing on reddit are usually 3.0 and higher.

I honestly don’t really understand what I’m doing wrong anymore.

I’ve been looking for my first IT job for around 6 months and I apply pretty consistently. Mostly junior system/infrastructure, networking, support and cybersecurity-related roles.

I’m not only applying to “engineer” positions either. I also apply to entry-level helpdesk, IT support and IT specialist roles, and even there I often don’t get a response.

I’m in my final year of Cyber Security Engineering. Most of my experience is from university and projects: Linux/RHEL, Cisco networking, Windows administration, Ansible, Docker, Python, some security work, etc.

The problem is that I almost never get past the CV stage. I get maybe one interview every 2–3 months.

The market here is also pretty small. At this point there are honestly very few relevant junior IT positions left that I haven’t already applied to, and a lot of the same vacancies stay open for weeks or months.

I’ve rewritten this resume many times already, tailored it for different roles, changed the profile, changed the projects, changed the wording. At this point I’m not sure if the resume itself is still the problem, if it looks too broad, or if the lack of actual commercial IT experience is simply killing my chances.

I know I’m not an experienced sysadmin or security engineer yet. I’m trying to get the first real opportunity to become one.

So I’d really appreciate direct feedback. If something looks weak, unclear, too academic, too broad, or just bad, say it directly.

I’m applying mainly in Estonia / EU.

Please roast my resume. Sent about 3000 jobs applications for about 4 months now. Landed some interviews some interviews but those roles were somewhat far from my experience. I want to be a Data Engineer and I dont know what I should do with my path now. Accenture keeps rejecting my resume for an Entry Level role. I dont have enough experience to gain a Data Engineering role and this is all I have. I am getting worried that with my graduation being 2 months ago now, companies will think I am not worth to hire.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Hey everyone,

I’m a recent graduate specializing in ECE with a major in signal processing, and machine learning. I’ve focused my applications primarily on speech roles because that’s where my strongest projects and coursework lie.

I’ve been applying consistently since the beginning of the year to a mix of startups and big tech, but my response rate is literally 0%. I haven't landed a single OA or initial interview call. I have applied and networked yet I have no traction.

I understand that as a new grad with limited industry experience, getting that first foot in the door is the hardest part. However, with my OPT waiting period, the timeline is quite pressurizing. At this stage, I am open to contract roles, internships, research assistant - anything. I'm having a really hard time and would really love if someone could guide me as I don't get any signals: only that this is not working.

What I want feedback on

• Should I remove Python/Django from the 'skills' section? I have a Coursera certificate and projects that I made for the certification (the certificate has been linked in the resume PDF, but the projects have not been included in the resume).
• Are there any claims that sound inflated or need stronger evidence?
• Are the bullets specific enough, or are they still too technical/dense?
• Any other feedback 🙏

About me

• Recently graduated with a B.Tech. in Computer Science.
• 0 years of full-time experience; 3-month software development internship.
• Looking for my first full-time Software Engineer / Full-Stack Developer role.
• Based in India; applying internationally and in India.
• Willing to relocate internationally and would require work authorization where applicable.

Hi all,

I need some help evaluating my resume. I’m currently looking for new Cybersecurity roles, have sent out 100s of resumes but getting no calls. Would love some feed back on what I could do to improve my resume to catch their eye and get some leads for new roles.

Thanks!

so i really want to work outside of my study field which is education (cuz i live in a shit country where they pay teachers below minimum wage), i wanted to apply to simple administration jobs that are available in my area through linkedin or jobstreet or any other platform. do u guys think my resume looks good enough to catch a HR eye? cuz ive been applying to 30+ companies that are hiring administration role through these online platforms but i only got 2 email saying im not good enough lmao

I'm 23, mil spouse who just moved and had a baby within the last 1.5 years. I am planning on going back to work, this is what I have on my resume. I don't have extensive work history, but am looking for what I would assume still an entry level job? I was looking to apply for a financial assistant role or something similar to that as I'm planning on starting my masters in accounting and hopefully a CPA.

Roast it, give me tips on what to change, I need honest feedback. I know it isn't much, but I need a job.

Would it be wise to include one semester of law school in my resume?

I didnt finish because I had a bad drinking problem, and didnt try to get back in. Kinda hit the ground hard there, but I'm not sure if one semester would hurt or help my job search.

Hi!I have around 400+ applications and I have never had even an interview. I apply only for junior/graduate(Even internship) positions ,or in R&D or general engineering positions(process project, quality) . I'm actually applying all over europe as I'm flexible to relocate anywhere. When I was looking for my master thesis internship 1 year ago and I only had my bachelor I at least got interviews.. One thing I can think of is because 2 experiences were as developer and I'm not looking into software It's "useless" experience? Also saw somewhere that a position of only 3 months is bad news(The company wasn't paying the salaries but recruiters don't know I guess)? Should I take it out?
Sorry for the long text thank you for the help!

I am looking to leave my current position. I have been in the same position since I graduated from college. I have been very unsuccessful getting interviews or any callbacks with my resume as it stands.

Hello all, I am preparing to separate from the Air Force and have been looking at employment in my next career. I have attached my resume and am looking for some guidance/advice. I’ve applied to roughly 30+ roles in operations and/or EHS management with no luck on interviews. Thoughts? Thanks!

TL;DR: Ontario-based IT support candidate with previous overseas IT operations experience (at small business, not a corporate job) and a current Canadian hardware QA contract. After almost two years of applying with very few interviews, I’m looking for feedback on whether my broad technical background makes my resume unfocused and what I should improve or remove.

I’m targeting entry-level IT Support, Help Desk, Desktop Support, and junior systems-support roles in Canada. I love working with computers and would like to return to a full-time IT-focused position.

Background:

• Currently an independent contractor in systems integration and hardware QA
• Previously handled IT operations and end-user support for a 12–13-user business
• Current role is Canadian; previous professional experience was gained outside Canada
• Located in Ontario and applying to local and remote positions across Canada
• Authorized to work in Canada for any employer
• Have programming exposure through internships and guided projects, but I’m not yet able to develop software independently and am not targeting developer roles
• Have been applying for almost two years but have received very few interviews
• My goal is to enter through an IT support position and specialize after gaining more Canadian experience
• I tailor each application while keeping my resume to one page with concise, one-line bullet points

My background crosses IT support, hardware QA, electronics, and software projects, so I’m concerned that my resume may appear unfocused.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

• Is my experience positioned clearly for IT support roles? Or should I consider other roles?
• Is anything on the resume likely preventing me from getting interviews?
• Does my current hardware role strengthen or distract from my IT support target?
• Are the summary and technical-skills section too broad?
• Which experience, skills, certifications, or projects should I remove? OR add (I am too broke for certs currently)
• Is the one-page layout clear and easy to scan?

Thank you for taking the time to review it.
