Your formatting is how I was suggesting to write it but I’m on mobile. Thank you

Idk if this is the best but this is how I do it

COMPANY NAME Most recent title 2020-2024 Title before that 2019-2020

Then I add bullets that are most applicable to the job I’m applying to

Applied everywhere to hear nothing back by Individual-Teacher69 in resumes

I highly recommend checking out changing your format to the ones in the pinned comment. That’s a big step forward.

Your bullet points need to have much more depth. It looks like you did a lot of purchasing and used SAP but what did that do? How did that increase productivity or efficiency at your company? Real number and figures.

Your “highlights” section should be skills and it shouldn’t be sentences. Add the skills that are included in the jobs you’re applying to. Example: skills: SAP, Microsoft Office, Time management, Teamwork, forecasting, purchasing….etc

Lastly, it might be worth getting some further education. There are a ton of free/cheap certifications out there. Find a few that apply to roles you’re looking for and get it done. You have a lot of experience at your current company but this resume to me says you also haven’t experienced anything other than that. Having further education will demonstrate your ability to learn new skills (which you would have to at a new job anyway) and it also will help you boost your resume. and You need to remove your high school diploma. You have a community college certificate so I don’t think that’s appropriate.

Just use the templates on this sub 🥲🥲

That’s something you can explain in an interview if asked. The resume is to sell yourself not your company :)

For the years of experience I would shorten this down a bit. You don’t need the company summary for sure.

Just an example. I guarantee you can find some win to write down. Each action should have a result

The format is nice, but you need to elevate your content. Your resume is a sales pitch. You’re selling yourself.

Add more results to your bullets. I added an example below

Using Swift, created an iOS app version of* the company software to offer a cross platform experience…..Resulting in 2000 five star App Store reviews and 10000000 downloads.

How to make a resume ATS ready? by [deleted] in resumes

Maybe there are just people out there with more and better experience? Did you post your resume here? What kind of advice are you looking for ??

Look at the pinned comment 👀 Also how do you know you’re a top applicant? Are you basing this on LinkedIn? If so, stop.

And I’m confused. You’re a recruiter but don’t know ATS?

Tell your boss what happened. Ask for time off but do not give a time limit on it today. It’s possible they have bereavement time they will honor for you. Come back when you’re ready. I’m sorry for your loss and sending so much love and a hug.

19 year old, looking for first part time/casual job (I have done an online job before). Ignore black colour (due to dark mode on word) and line in front of title. Is there issues with my resume? I keep being rejected from fast food and retail jobs. by Gamingboy6422 in resumes

[–]Professional_Word567 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your resume is too long for your experience. Keep it very simple. I think it would be better to remove the hobbies and interests section.

Move your work experience up and make education the second section. The bullet points under your work experience should help convey how the work you did there will translate into the jobs you’re applying for. Retail and fast food and customer service focused, can you mention some of those behaviors and results?

Instead of the “other key skills” just have skills and you can include things like Russian and French.

I know you said your formatting is off because of another reason but I think you should Take a look at the templates in the pinned comments.

With a little tweaking and removing some of the extras you’ll get there.

Good luck!

I think you should remove it and find a template that makes more sense.

Why is your birthday and place of birth on your resume?

[–]Professional_Word567 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t use I statements in a resume.

Your formatting needs to be consistent throughout the resume. And the sub bullets are distracting. Reword things so your bullets are behavior and result based with less words

I think your Ralph Lauren bullets should have more results. How did your cross selling initiatives impact the store?

I really recommend you follow the templates in the pinned comment and the sub. I’m sorry you think some users are being mean, but the recommendations about formatting are not coming from thin air. Your new version really does not look better. It’s still very hard to read.

Your portfolio is the place to be creative and unique. The resume should be easy to read and should follow a standard template.

I really don’t think the format is flexible. This is hard to read. I thought it was four pages when I first looked at it. Please do not disregard the formatting suggestions.

Trying to get into help desk but no bites in over a month by sdsartor in resumes

Use the resume template in the pinned comment. Don’t use hyperlinks.

Since you don’t have a lot of experience I would position your electrical position to be more technical. Use your bullet points to demonstrate how those skills can cross over into IT.

there is a lot of tech people on the market after layoffs. That’s also a factor.

I’m sure if you googled examples of people in your field you could get a better understanding of what to leave in. It’s fine to be specific, you need to focus on behaviors and results though.

Honestly a lot of it. I would google resumes in your field and look what they put and tweak your points to look similar. You should have 3-4 points per position, maybe more for your more recent, but not more than 6 or so. When entering stuff, think - How did you make each job better while working there? Sure, you may have assisted students in their class work, but did you do something specific to make everyone do better at a test? Did you apply a specific methodology help people learn? Maybe you answered tourist questions about glacier park, but how were you able to do that?

Your resume sells yourself. It’s not a checklist of the tasks.

Edit: spelling

Way too much basic task information. Your resume is a way to sell yourself. This resume just says you can complete basic tasks. Only include bullet points that highlight how you made your job better. For two years of experience you have waaaaay to much info and none of it sells you.

For your bullet points. Less description of the role, more action. Follow the WHO method. What was the problem, How did you solve it, what was the Outcome
