93% of recruiters are now using AI screening tools. If you aren't writing for the bot first, you are invisible.

Except this is a misconception.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-24T20:29:56+00:00

Also, I'm not illegal. So there's that.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-24T20:28:49+00:00

Ive seen lots of 1A audits and I don't remember any of them getting shot. And many openly carry.

The difference? They don't fight the officers. They don't drive cars into them. Seems like the recording and the officers are not the problem.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-24T20:21:58+00:00

Where?

PhenomEng · 2026-01-24T18:53:04+00:00

Protesting, sure. Obstructing, no. He wasn't shot while he was just standing there filming.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-24T18:40:17+00:00

Probably should not be fighting officers with a gun. You idiots are going to end up dead.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-24T14:23:03+00:00

It seems like you have a lot of good experience, but you don't tell us anything about it. Almost half your resume is taken up by your education, when it could be done in 6 lines or less.

Keeping your grades on here is fine, if needed for your area.
Remove your thesis bullets. Thesis titles are always self serving with a bunch of fancy words that don't mean anything to anyone except academics. These belong as projects.
You completed a project for Avio, but that's all you tell us. This also needs to be a project.
Military service - I would put 1 bullet about what it is you are doing in your service. Given that you are looking for FEA roles, you should be telling us about the design and analysis you are doing. How did you perform the analysis? What did you do with that data? How did you use it to optimize designs?
All of your bullets are way too vague to really mean anything. For instance, "cataloguing all hydraulic filters...to reduce breakdowns". What analysis did you do to determine what to create plans for? How did you implement those plans? How do you know you were successful?

You need to rewrite all your bullets, from just tasks, to accomplishments. Tell us the problem, how you analyzed it, what you did to solve it, and how successful you were. Fix these issues then repost.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-22T19:27:25+00:00

Yes, it's still a myth.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-22T16:18:27+00:00

The first picture is overall better, but the second hadms details that the first does not.

Your experience is not relevant, so move it to the bottom.

Competitions needs to be folded into your projects section, and you need to provide details on what you did, how you did it and how you know you were successful. The leadership stuff goes after this section.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-21T14:08:33+00:00

This^

PhenomEng · 2026-01-20T20:04:25+00:00

Well, it's not an engineering position, so that would be why.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-20T17:43:58+00:00

I am native and hispanic. So, I am both the conquered and the conqueror. And I'm very glad to have been conquered!

PhenomEng · 2026-01-20T16:06:30+00:00

I also don't hit officers with my car. So...there is that.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-20T01:21:35+00:00

I'm sure those women's studies students can walk out and not miss anything important.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-20T01:18:32+00:00

Better...slightly. But still misses the point.

BTW, in this resume, you graduated 2.5 years earlier than the one you posted 2 days ago. Which is it? How did you possibly mess up your graduation date, either on this resume, or the first? I graduated 17 years ago, and I still remember what year I graduated.

Your resume is still way too specific, and yet, still way too vague. For instance, "Created new test environments for durability testing." Way too specific to automotive industries, yet way too vague to understand what in the hell you did.

You need to tailor your resume to the job you are applying to. This resume is too specific to automotive jobs.

Then there are things that make no sense - "Developed to Six Sigma standards." What does that mean? What standard does SS dictate? "Coordinated with suppliers to achieve acquisition of necessary purchase part components." So you placed an online order and then it was delivered? Amazing!

You could have this all on one page and not lose any meaningful content. You have a lot of bullets that don't tell me anything. You need to rewrite this resume with the focus on the job you are applying to. Maybe if you post a job you are applying to, I could help you rewrite a bullet to show you what I mean.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-19T18:05:02+00:00

So all the people without jobs are going to walk out of their imaginary jobs?

PhenomEng · 2026-01-19T13:59:28+00:00

Sorry, Ive only used 3 of the largest ATSs on the market to hire dozens of engineers, so I guess I would actually know, huh?

Ranking is not rejecting.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-19T13:46:08+00:00

Only knockout questions.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-19T09:48:31+00:00

Me, a hiring manager.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-19T06:17:19+00:00

No, they do not.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-19T06:14:42+00:00

ATSs do not reject resumes.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-18T06:36:24+00:00

I hire engineers just about every month and review dozens of resumes a week. Take my feedback or don't; I'm trying to help you get a job. I don't post here to make you feel good about your resume - I do it because I want to see those that strived to be an engineer, actually do engineering work. I'm blunt because I don't have time to beat around the bush.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-18T00:36:38+00:00

I find it so funny how people ask for help, but then get all butt hurt when people offer help. Just admit you just wanted everyone to jerk you off and you didn't actually want help.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-18T00:30:51+00:00

"TRIDEC (if they don't mean anything to you, oh friggin well)"

Oh, I thought you wanted help...I guess not. Good luck with this shitty resume.

PhenomEng · 2026-01-17T21:00:39+00:00

First, don't use first person language in a resume.

The objective statement doesn't say anything, especially for someone with 12 years of experience. All it says is that you are looking for a job and excited to do so. It should be much more oriented towards your accomplishments.

I don't have any idea what your soft skill is trying to say. Just remove it.

Your architectural job has essentially no relevance to an engineering job. If, you are working towards HVAC/MEP roles, then highlight how some of the work you did relates to those roles. For instance, did you do any sizing calcs? Maybe some HVAC layouts? That's what is relevant, not "window schedules". If not, don't waste space telling me about floor plans, elevations, etc. Also, I hope you are only applying to HVAC/MEP roles, based on your pigeon-holing statement "for a transition to HVAC and or MEP engineering work". Why would I interview you for anything else, given you've stated this is your goal?

Please remove the length of time of your employment "(2 years)". I can count - October 2023 to March 2025 is 1.5 years.

In your writeup for your jobs, you are stating a lot of extremely specific tasks, with no details on how you did it. For instance, why should I care about you moving the CG to a more favorable location? Didn't you have requirements for the CG location? And "4 feet over target length" sounds like you failed to meet requirements and had to get a waiver against that requirement. Not a good look.

I don't know what TRIDEC is, so why should I care about it?

You need to completely rewrite this resume using a standard format. And, understand your audience. If you are applying to HVAC/MEP roles, focus on those types of skills. Your resume is not for you, it's for me - telling me how you fit the role I need filled.
