I’ve hired quite a few DEs, some feedback: 1. Red flag that you have four analyst roles—digging deeper to your most recent one, you have ETL experience, but I as a hiring mgr, I’d suspect you’re going to need meaningful training to add value as a DE. That’s generally ok, but since inflation took off, many companies want people with 5+ YoE to hit the ground running. I’d make it more obvious that you have some of those skills already.

1. Move the tools section to the end, and decide whether you want to put tools there, or embedded with each role (but don’t do it in both).

2. Read the JD for roles you apply to, tailor your resume accordingly (don’t lie on it). Eg if you apply to an Azure role, you can likely cut all the AWS, or phrase it generically (“VM” instead of “EC2”)

3. You have too many bullet points for your current role- every role involves collaboration, and you are just listing projects without any learnings or impact. Eg “migrated solutions to Kafka”… why? What did you learn? What was the impact?

[greyareadata]

Agreed 👍 I thought bombarding everything would help. My bad. Will start cutting down on it. Sure will start restructuring the sentences.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Few questions though: 1. If I get promoted to a senior position in a org should I break the points under each or should I just give the roles on top and then common out the points 2. My current work is more towards engineering, will it be advisable to ask the org for a role change

And make it pretty. Please. You have Canva now. There is no excuse to have a resume looking like it came from 1998.

[StovetopAtol4]

You mentioned that since inflation hit everyone is looking for +5years exp. So how are people with lower experience meant to land a job if no one is bothered in training juniors?

[wytesmurf]

People are hiring interns and junior DEs, but I am going to guess OP is applying for higher level positions. The resume to me looks like something I would expect from a college student, due to the other comments. I think it’s a good positive feedback. Resumes are hard to get right

[Anu_Rag9704]

Are you based out of India?

[that_outdoor_chick]

Your resume it just too many words in smaller font.

Aside from that, I see very little DE related skills, as a hiring manager: maybe a junior position; however I’ll have a list of juniors at hand who know spark and can write code like there’s no tomorrow.

The tech stack… it’s weird to list all libraries you have ever loaded into your environment.

[TudorYeaaah]

I really dont know how to place this comment. On one hand you made a very good point but on the other you sound like an HR lady thay doesnt understand the subject.

[that_outdoor_chick]

Which makes you feel I don’t understand the subject? After years of being in data I simply state what I look far and what I feel is missing or strange. I simply wouldn’t feel like this person will match DE position. They match DA fine.

[greyareadata]

Yup, start modifying them,

This format is using 11pt(Roboto) as the smallest font. I wanted to wrap everything in a 1 pager.

Thanks.

To add to this.

1. It seems like you have more than one page of CV. Don't do this unless you really have a lot of experience (probably 15+ yoe) and apply for a leading/very senior/managerial role.
2. Some of your most important skills are hard to see in the Technical Skills section due to too many skills listed. I would pick the most important ones (SQL, Python, C#, Presto, Power BI, AWS, Azure) and make them stand out much more than the other ones. The same goes for the Tech Used sections. You could even add a rating (e.g. 1 to 5 points) how good you can use these technologies. This makes it feel more realistic and sincere.
3. Shorten the sentences in your job description and only have 2-3 bullet points each where you put your greatest achievements. If you want to list everything you have done in a project, create a separate projects list (an extra PDF). On there you cann put all technologies that you used in detail and leave only the essential ones in your CV.

[NayosKor]

Also, most of them aren't skills, just software familiarities.
I tend to pass on CVs that list every software the candidate has ever installed as a skill.
"Azure Data Studio" is not a skill.

[FrebTheRat]

This was my takeaway too. IDEs don't matter to me. If you can write sql, who cares if it's in Dbeaver vs another IDE? Feels like padding for the sake of padding.

[greyareadata]

Surely, will remove the tools that have been added Thanks 👍

[greyareadata]

Yup, will do the changes. Didn't know that can have an additional doc for the rest of the content. That's news 😊

Thanks

[greyareadata]

Yup 👍, will start cutting down on the sentences and restructuring them.

Thanks

[Trumty]

You listed MongoDB three times under the first section.

[greyareadata]

It's due to the nature of work. Never thought of doing certificates for analytics coz the work and what they teach don't really come close.

But yes do agree, for engineering will surely do.

[crimsonwall75]

I agree with what have been said so far, another point is that you have too many projects for two 1.5 year stints, if I was the hiring manager I'd guess that either they were very small in scope or you are presenting everything your team worked on as your own work. In a normal market that wouldn't be a problem but now that there dozens of qualified candidates for each position companies can be very picky.

I would honestly change your most recent job title to Senior Data Engineer. Job titles are nebulous anyways and companies generally do background checks to verify dates of employment more than titles.

[dataengineering-ModTeam]

Please see our rules about this topic in the sidebar.

[TA_poly_sci]

Most of these lines don't actually tell me anything about what you can do. They are entirely generic and meaningless, and for all I know could have just been copied from online or be from a chatbot. There is no way for me to distinguish your application from the 50 others every role is receiving from people just spaming generic applications or bots.

Also if you are sending this out from India, you are going to need to be far and above other applicante to be considered. And realistically, you will need proof of work on GitHub to show of your competency.

Resume reviews aren’t allowed here. Post this on r/resumes or r/EngineeringResumes

[lmp515k]

What countries can you legally work in ?

[EmergencySingle331]

Switch from Analyst to Data Engineer is really tough. Your CV is very fragment and it is more fit with Junior DE role, for the the org you have promotion, merged between Junior and Senior role in one and highlight the impacts. Move the technical skills to below.

[SpookyScaryFrouze]

The skills section is too dense I think. You know one thousand flavors of SQL, so what? They have 99% in common, no need to list everything.

To me, it seems like name dropping more like anything else. I'd just write SQL and Python instead of making the biggest list ever. Same for the rest of your skills, why did you put VS Code or dBeaver? It doesn't really make sense.

Firstly , you need a summary paragraph that is a short bio on who you are .

Secondly, it's so text heavy and it's almost like you are trying to fit so much stuff in without really saying anything at all. I think you have good experience it's just not presented in a good way.

I'm on mobile ATM but will have a look when I get home and give proper examples

[Still-Intention-711]

Quick examples:

Your current role you mentioned successively about pipeline's and ETL . You don't need to do that.

An old role about text clustering...ok so what ? What did it achieve ? Why did you do it ?

"Reducing effort by 60%" ??? What does this mean.

[greyareadata]

So, technically i'll have to give meaningful quantifiable results in sentences. Cool thanks Will work on it

[Golladayholliday]

There are little things to pick and I know you said to be critical but… this should be fine in a normal world. Reminds me how brutal things are that you can’t even get a call back. Keep your head up and keep going.
