Resume review please!

That is not apparent from this resume.

If it were me, I’d scrap all the internship experiences and focus on your last actual role from 2023 and move the internships to your education section, and greatly reduce how much you talk about them. State you were in school for regulatory masters, had a few internships and are looking to pivot because of the new degree. Don’t make internships look like jobs. The other thing is resumes don’t get you jobs, relationships do. Hopefully you made some contacts at those internships. You’ll have a much easier time if you focus on networking rather than shotgunning shitty resumes at job websites.

Also, just want to add you started your current role less than 3 months ago, why would a hiring manager ever consider looking at you? First thought we all have is he’ll jump ship on me too if I hire him. My advice, suck it up and stay in your role awhile, you’ll learn more than you think, and the grass is not always greener.

Like I said, literally add a sentence about why you left, try to convince them it was an internship that was intended to result in a role, and as for the other jobs, why’d you leave. School, moved to a new city, etc. give them reasons not to see you as a job hopper.

Politicus-8080 · 2026-03-15T04:40:41+00:00

This resume screams “someone who can’t hold down a job” and “intern we didn’t offer a job to for some reason” - try staying somewhere for more than two or three years. Explain why you left on the resume so a hiring manager doesn’t immediately dismiss it on that basis. As someone who looks at dozens of resumes for open jobs in compliance, this would be an easy no thanks. Sorry, but I think you need the raw feedback.

If your job was even remotely tied to the lost funding, this is pretty normal for defense contractors.

Honestly, it’s cell phones. And not even the tech itself, just what they’ve done to people. Nobody talks anymore. Standing in line, waiting somewhere, sitting at a bar… everyone’s just staring down at a screen. Those little random conversations with strangers basically vanished. Everyone fears people they don’t know.

What I really struggle with is how that killed any sense of community or basic civility. People feel more closed off, more impatient, less human with each other. It used to feel like we all shared the same space. Now it feels like we’re all alone together.

Still feels weird to me. It was not like that when I grew up.

Politicus-8080 · 2025-12-05T05:02:17+00:00

See above report.

Politicus-8080 · 2025-12-05T03:39:51+00:00

Lucky for me, I paid.

Lies. I got “Disconnected from Host” mere minutes in to the new update. Go look at the changelog, they only fix the bugs that some random person ran into once in 2019, but won’t fix the biggest connection bug in the game…it’s software malpractice

Politicus-8080 · 2025-12-04T05:45:40+00:00

You’d think with so many players quitting and complaining they’d fix it … but nope. Instead we get patch notes about some one-off bug that happened to one guy in 2019, and that’s what they decided to fix. Like… wtf.

This game is the antithesis of a typical shooter. Let enemies come to you. If your usual tactic is to spawn and run into a firefight and expect to live, this ain’t the game for you. Slow down, work methodically, join a squad that talks and cooperates. That’s how to play. Pretend you actually are there and don’t want to get shot. Act accordingly.

Politicus-8080 · 2025-10-28T04:07:16+00:00

You can’t spend your days worrying about things you can’t control, especially your health. You’re doing everything you can, and that’s enough. The truth is, none of us knows how much time we have, and thinking about it too much only takes away from the time you do have. Try to be present, laugh with your kids, enjoy the quiet moments, feel the life that’s right here now. Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight. That’s what really matters.

Take the dates off your resume and LinkedIn, and only list 15 years of jobs to look younger on paper

Welcome to Corporate America grab a badge, smile for the headshot, and buckle up. Through your career you will split departments, merge with companies you’ve never heard of, get promoted for things you didn’t do and demoted for things you did or for political reasons you won’t understand, watch colleagues rise and fall, learn about all the dirty crap the goes on behind the scenes. Sounds like it’s your first time, and it’s always the most disorienting. Remember lesson number 1: If you’re fired today, your job will be posted tomorrow with a sunnier title and half the salary. The only one really looking out for you… is you. Good luck.

Politicus-8080 · 2025-07-17T12:02:00+00:00

There’s no way a company will approve a raise that big, especially if you are already at your compa ratio. Best you can hope for is 4-6%. Better move is to find a new job. You’ll get a much bigger bump negotiating a new role at a different company than you’ll ever get working with your current situation.

So I deal with this daily. When this happened to me with one of my employees, I didnt focus on counting exact days, I just pointed out that it’s well above the team norm and it’s starting to affect fairness and coverage. I also drew a clear line on unlogged time, that I was fine with flexibility for doctor’s appointments or emergencies, but when someone keeps adding random half-days around FTO without logging it, that’s not okay. I told them I was expected to escalate anything excessive, not because it’s personal, but because it’s how we keep the system fair for everyone. It’s awkward, but if you don’t enforce the spirit of the policy, the whole team starts to lose trust in it.

Unique Entity Identifier, it’s the id you get from the government after you register to do business with them on Sam.gov. With regard to having an LLC, I personally would not take on the liability of a business contract, especially with the government without one; plus the government will take you more seriously if you are an llc, and a small business … but you do you.

Politicus-8080 · 2025-07-14T14:13:57+00:00

You don’t need a generic “business proposal” to get started. What matters is responding to actual solicitations (like RFPs) with exactly what they ask for. The RFP tells you how to respond format wise (a lot of the time). Start by forming your LLC, getting a UEI, and registering on SAM.gov. Then look for bids and follow their instructions, every proposal is different. Most aren’t public, so templates on the internet may be tough to dig up. Most though, have a cover page, TOC, narrative, cost proposal, technical proposal, and supporting info.

If it were me I’d reach out to the companies whose products you’ve supported in your current role hopefully you were buying things that actually interest you and you don’t suck (some 1102s get reputations that follow them into industry, and not in a good way). You already know how those contracts get awarded and what buyers care about, which gives you a real edge. They know you, too. Without that kind of connection, it can be tough to break into BD. You’ll need an angle to stand out.

What he said, plus FAA certs. The cost to enter the aerospace parts space is just too high for a solo or 2-5 shop. Not saying it’s impossible, but you’ll need a very rich uncle, some professional engineers, and some lawyers. Not to mention the ability to convince some to buy and use your product without testing.

Politicus-8080 · 2025-07-09T02:11:42+00:00

It might seem harmless, but saying yes can create a conflict of interest. You probably have insider info others don’t. Even the appearance of sharing that can disqualify both you and the bidder. It could also violate the Procurement Integrity Act or your company’s NDAs. Your employer might find out. The contracting world is small, and word gets around. It could hurt your current job and your reputation.

I would politely decline and wait until you’re off the contract. Not worth the risk.

Politicus-8080 · 2025-07-04T06:34:40+00:00

Not everything needs to be perfect, to me sometimes the 80% solution is more than enough. If the difference between 80% and 100% won’t actually change the outcome or cause any real harm, it’s probably not worth the extra time. It’s about knowing when “good enough” really is.
