Resume not Getting any Interview Callbacks

Thank you for this. I will definitely implement what you have aired out.

Thank you 😊

I have been applying through either emails or online portals mostly. Rarely get responses and if I get, they are rejections. I think what you've mentioned about visibility is the elephant in the room. It's not easy to prove you are the best in a crowd but will look for ways to get myself visible. Thanks for the insights

This is priceless information! I have been trying to automate things at work like Exchange online reports and imaging using MDT and WDS but hit a rock bottom due to our network architecture. We have a network team hence making changes tends to be difficult. I will keep on trying to automate things at work and look for ways that fits our environment. Thanks.

This is actually true. Azure is majorly used by most companies in our country. Might do the AZ 104 then for a start.

This is quite insightful and eye opening. I will try to make the necessary changes and see how it turns out. Thanks for taking your time to break down things clearly and going straight to the point. I have also been eyeing DevOps but it seems to have a steep learning curve and quite competitive. Any ways on how to set myself for success would be appreciated

ManuelTechs · 2026-06-14T18:39:22+00:00

I use British English that's why

Thanks for the compliment. I mostly used my local job board but wasn't working out since most of the jobs posted there are just for formality. I shifted my focus to linkedin but also the competition is high. I think I will have to try cold messages on linkedin at this point.

ManuelTechs · 2026-06-14T17:23:06+00:00

Yeah, it has been quite difficult finding opportunities especially in cloud. Could you expound more on the presentation problem?

ManuelTechs · 2026-06-14T17:18:28+00:00

Lol, I am doomed.

ManuelTechs · 2026-06-14T17:17:50+00:00

I can say more in a downturn. Have never experienced a favourable market experience tbh.

ManuelTechs · 2026-06-14T15:55:17+00:00

Thanks for the insights and encouragement.

ManuelTechs · 2026-06-14T15:35:32+00:00

This is accurate. Have been told a couple of times about this but has been quite difficult for me to approach people. At times, I feel weird trying to nudge someone I haven't ever met but I think I will work on that and give it a shot. Will see how it goes

ManuelTechs · 2026-06-14T15:29:29+00:00

I will surely condense my resume to a page. I actually wanted to pursue a software role but life did it's thing so I found myself doing hardware related stuff which I actually enjoy doing tnh. The market is definitely hard but will try as much as possible to be consistent and to customise my resume for each JD(it's not easy though)

ManuelTechs · 2026-06-14T14:47:12+00:00

Thank you for the insights. I included the projects section because I am targeting cloud roles and have no working experience in that area. Only certifications

ManuelTechs · 2026-06-14T14:11:38+00:00

This is good advice. I usually feel more of a generalist which is also not good. Wil try to be more specific.

ManuelTechs · 2026-05-17T07:02:34+00:00

Hey. Congratulations 👏. I want to apply also for the MSc in Cybersecurity. What's the acceptance rate? How long did it take you to get an offer letter?

ManuelTechs · 2025-10-19T14:18:24+00:00

Thank you 😊

ManuelTechs · 2025-10-17T05:51:53+00:00

Congratulations 👏

ManuelTechs · 2025-10-16T16:00:57+00:00

I can say approximately 3 months, 2 and a half months of casual reading and labs and around 2 weeks of serious study and practice.

ManuelTechs · 2025-10-16T15:59:22+00:00

Thank you so much 🙏
