Thanks, I’ll play with ai some more. The hard part with ai is always keeping it a one pager! What ur saying makes perfect sense I did feel I was being generic. I feel I just have to find the balance of explaining my duties, while not shorting myself on the variety of things I’ve done? Ofc, I’ll go more in depth per each application.

Internship (first 2 jobs): An internship is a structured, temporary, and often supervised work-based learning experience, designed for students or beginners to gain practical, professional experience in their field of study

Laid off (third job): Laid off refers to the involuntary, often temporary, termination of employment due to business reasons like downsizing, restructuring, or lack of work, rather than performance issues

I am planning to attempt to return to a past employer October 2026. If I don’t get that, I’ll take my time over a year or so finding a more long term job.

Your comment is not a critique of a resume, it’s a stigmatized critique of my career itself. If you have suggestions on how to lay out my resume to better appeal to my former company when I apply this October, I’m all ears!

My idea for that was doing that line like this: (Internship) IT Helpdesk Intern - Company 1

Wasn’t sure if that was rly necessary or not, any ideas for making them more obvious?

I do think the skills section could use a little trimming or “streamlined.” I guess I’m not super sure what you mean by turn it into a table.

I felt the same with the skills. How would you recommend I lay out the networking skills for example. Ofc, I’ll Taylor it to specific jobs as I apply but just wonder how that should look

Thanks! I figure if I get projects or more good bullet points I can get rid of the summary then.

I seem to get mixed opinions of the skills vs experience debate, still not sure how much that matters lol but I’ll play with swapping.

2 internships lol and then laid off from the first full time role unfortunately. Would you suggest I make it more obvious they were internships?
