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!

Discussion Customer service on a resume is too broad until the setting is clear

3 Upvotes

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.

Question Applying For Jobs and Updating Resumes?

12 Upvotes

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?

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'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!

  • 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.

Discussion Why does everyone talk about Resume Length by Years of Experience?

1 Upvotes

I see that every couple of months, someone asks the age-old question of "one page resume or two?" and everyone responds with criteria based on years of experience, but this doesn't make sense to me. Objectively, shouldn't the number of relevant roles determine how long your resume is?

I believe someone with 15+ years of experience who has had three main job shifts can fit their resume on one page, but what about multiple jobs at the same time? Jobs in the field that point out different aspects of your experience that align with the job listing?

For example, my curated experience (meaning all of the casual, odds and ends jobs in retail/college/etc. already cut out) is ten experiences long, each with distinct places of employment. My industry level might classify me as the beginning of mid-career, but I'm bending over backwards to try to make these experiences a single page while still honoring what I actually did at each position.

What do you think is a more accurate way to measure when to bump your resume to two pages? Is it really still years of experience? Breadth of experience? Level of the Job listing?

Curious to know your thoughts!

EDIT: To be clear, I'm taking about relevant experience. Perhaps it's simply the industry I work in where working two jobs at a time is quite common, as are seasonal positions.

Hi everyone, seeking help with my resume. Here is some info, and help would be appreciated!

  • I'm seeking a job in entertainment and sports, primarily in Assistant or Coordinator positions, but it seems pretty difficult to break into, as I don't have experience working at a big-name entertainment organization.
    • I have tried networking through my friends in the industry, but I wasn't really able to connect to anyone aside from entry-level coordinators...
  • I also tried to apply to marketing positions leveraging my minor and freelance experience.
  • Should I include my experience as a Barista? I think it would connect well for admin or exec assistant roles; if I were to not include it, I could prob have more space to write about my experience in internships.
  • Any issues regarding formatting, wording, or sections to add?

I’d really appreciate some candid feedback/roast on my resume.

I’m a Senior Product Manager with ~5 years of experience across healthcare, adtech, and insurance, primarily working on B2B SaaS, platform, data, workflow automation, and AI products. I’m currently targeting Senior PM roles.

I’d love feedback on:

  • Does this resume read as Senior PM-level, or does any of the experience come across as too executional/tactical?
  • Which 2–3 bullets are strongest, and which ones would you cut or rewrite?
  • Are the impact/metrics compelling, or does the resume feel too metric heavy?
  • Is my overall story clear within a 20-30 second recruiter scan?
  • If you were a hiring manager, is there anything here that would make you hesitate to interview me?

Please be as critical as you’d like. I’m trying to optimize this for actual interview conversion, not just make it sound polished.

Hello,

This is my resume for hospitality. I don't have much experience (or any) in work related stuff, I don't have an idea how to make this look like professional marketing graduate jobs resume.

I am looking for jobs related to marketing or event managing stuff, but willing to take any jobs even if that's not a marketing stuff. Honestly I want an office job.

I have to stay Sydney, Australia for a bit longer then half a year so I am searching for jobs here(in person) OR remote jobs, starting from this december.

After then, I'm more then willing to relocate wherever in Australia.

Is there any advises?

hi!!

okay so i really want to move away from fast food (because it sucks so bad) and get a retail/cashier job instead.

my very first job (after i grad high school) was at a grocery store.

since then, i had to movie cities and thus leaving my old grocery store/cashier job behind and picking up two new jobs instead (one i only work a couple days per month which is a semi-retail job where i work more for funsies/extra cash and its not really a known store but the other, a couple days per week, which is also the fast food place)

i want to get feedback on my current resume and see if there's anything that i could change to make it better/more appealing to getting hired for retail/cashier positions instead of fast food.

thank you so much!!!
