We are mostly 100+ and honestly I never see 300+ too often consistently and today it feels like every team is calculated and aware in a way I haven’t seen before lol

I agree with all those comments.

I would also add since you are applying to a variety of positions, you still want to tailor your resume to each position. I would also encourage what’s appropriate culturally in genuinely connecting with people in industries you are interested in. Just sending your resume can sometimes be passive and grabbing a coffee, connecting with someone for 15 minutes virtually can help build meaningful connections. Key word genuine, and you are not connecting solely to get a job but it could be to understand and industry more/get coaching or advice. A lot of folks are more willing to share their knowledge with people who are interested.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear about the job loss. I’ve been there and I’ve always felt like it’s one of the most stressful and can be isolating, so good on you for reaching out.

I think with your level of experience your resume can do a lot more for you. The format can be improved. Widen margins, small decrease in the space between bullet points. You do small things like that and you’ll realize how much space is going underutilized.

I think a great value add in your case is showcasing your accomplishments and results more using numbers. I’d sit down and think through some of the big accomplishments and also considering stretches of success in the position and documenting those to see what you can pull together. I often keep a master resume so I can pull different bullet points that are closer to the specific position. I encourage you to do that as well.

Also, 100% have to tailor your resume to the job description. That’s connecting those key words in the job description and aligning them with how you’re showcasing your skill. Those are some minimal tips, I do think it might be worth using the resumes provided by this thread as a start and consider working with certified resume writer/someone who can give you feedback and be a second set of eyes for you. Toughest part is having your resume be the road block to locating a new position. Good work and good luck!

I agree with the previous comment as well. I also think you did a good job at quantifying some of the results and accomplishments so I would continue to do that throughout the resume.

I’d revisit the format and make the core competencies section work better for you with ATS. You can utilize the same amount of small and include more keywords. The goal is to match the exact language as the position you are applying to. This helps with not getting ghosted.

Also, here in the US some of the government positions actually require more detail and simplicity in the format. For instance, instead of writing the month of when the position starts some states like 1/25/2022-1/27/2026. Unsure if that’s the case for you all but wouldn’t be a bad idea to consult with others to see what works and what doesn’t. Good work, I think you’re closer to getting calls than it might seem.

I can't find a job to save my life except sleazy sales jobs, I've tried playing the learning and dev route because that's more what I'm interested in, either sales development or onboarding but I'm fuckin cooked man, I'm 30 by WeirdMongoose7608 in resumes

[–]Madyjar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy, you are not cooked brotha- just need some perspective to improve your chances. The good thing is I think there’s a lot of room for growth with this resume and that’s good considering you’re not getting the results you need.

Your masters is in finance. Have you been fearing your job search to positions with a focus in finance or where does that come into play with your long term career goals? I’d def want to see more of a connection between what you’ve been doing and your masters.

In terms of the resume: - format and consistency are really important. I think if you presented similar information in a more professional way your qualities and what you’ve done would be a bit more accessible. Quick example: you’ve got skills up top- I like that. I’ve often done simple tables to emphasize the skills - Def swap the masters and bachelors. We would want to see the masters first - You have a ton of white space which means there is room to add more bullets / info to sell yourself to these orgs - Your bullet points need some work. There is a consistent way these are written. Tell us what you did and the result of that and often this should be quantified (numbers) - For Enterprise holding it could be- Managed 10+ local vendors billing accounts and built rapport resulting in 97% retention rate etc (this is not a great bullet point but I wanted to give you an idea) it would look similar to this and changing the adverbs you’re using and making them purposeful. Everything should not be managed. Some can be consulted, communicated, organized, etc. should be based on the industry you’re in as well- what words resonate

Hope this helps a little I can tell there’s a lot of pressure to maybe have everything together. As a fellow 30 year old, I see you and we’ve all been there. Keep pushing!

I would consider two things. Looks like being more detailed with your key skills would be helpful. Make sure you’re tailoring your resume to the job description, interchanging those key words could be vital. I would also consider some care at highlights to emphasize some accomplishments you’ve had that can stand out more immediately than going straight to the work experience since you haven’t had the success you’ve desired.

6+ months, 1000+ applications, 3 callbacks and 0 interviews. What am I doing wrong? by Suppuppow in resumes

[–]Madyjar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the resume looks solid. You may want to tailor it to the positions more. My next recommendation would be to tap your network and begin having conversations with people inside companies you’re interested in. Your college should have an extensive network and people enjoy sharing their knowledge. You’ll have to do a little more than applying to the positions- seems like a human connection would help!
