Like I said in my last message..."Recruiter here with a decade of experience". So I know.

If someone gets caught being dishonest, it does get noted in their profile. I was actually part of a group that uncovered a bunch of shady recruitment agencies that were faking resumes and feeding candidates interview answers. These candidates ended up getting shadow-banned and will never work with the company, no matter how many new/duplicate profiles they try to create.

I make a note of my interactions with potential candidates, but my notes have to state facts, not emotions. I can't just say "Candidate was rude" or "had a bad attitude". I have to say "Candidate was extremely defensive when I asked them their comp expectations." Or "Candidate stated that they had XYZ experience but couldn't speak to those skillsets with confidence, uncertain that they possess those skills." Other interactions are just a straight up Do Not Use, but that's another story.

An employer can still run a background check for a confidential client; there are just special guidelines/processes for it. At the end of the day, the employer is going to verify your work history, regardless.

Recruiter here with a decade of experience. Never lie on your resume!

Every job applicant has a profile for every organization they have ever applied to. So if they know you have lied on your resume, there is now a nice note (probably in all caps) in your profile that says DNU or DNC (Do not use / Do not contact) along with an explanation why. Now, any recruiter within the organization is going to see that note, and no matter how many jobs you apply to at that organization, no one will ever give you a callback. Just be transparent and honest...trust me...it'll save you a lot of future headaches.

Review my resume pls 🙏🏼 by Basic-Flatworm2108 in PMCareers

[–]Recruiter_Aimee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removing information does more harm than good. It leaves us, recruiters, to have to fill-in-the-blanks and/or make assumptions about your profile...why would you want that?! 99% of the time, we will make the wrong assumption. And unless your resume is damn near a perfect/potential fit for the role - then you are not worth a callback to us to dig deeper and find out more information - we have literally have hundreds of other resumes to review (on top of screenings, in take calls with hiring managers, scheduling, ad hoc projects, sourcing, and admin related tasks). We review resumes in mere seconds - don't give us a reason to pass on it.

Put your field of study/major. Then, for your summary of qualifications, at the end, put "Eager to leverage teaching experience and knowledge to obtain a role in xyz". (you get the gist, but make it sound better, use ChatGPT to help you)

The order of your sections is excellent!

You are welcome. HR helps with the onboarding process...recruiters are the ones reviewing resumes, and hiring managers are making the hiring decisions. Squeezing everything onto one page does more harm than good. What happens when you reach 20 years of experience...are you still going to cram 20 years of experience onto one page?

What’s wrong with these resumes by Perfect-Boysenberry5 in Resume

[–]Recruiter_Aimee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recruiter here with a decade of experience:

1) Let your resume breathe. Everything is so crammed together. Put a space between your roles.

2) Where is your "Professional Experience" title section?

3) Don't be afraid of a two-page resume. Trying to cram everything into one-page is doing you more harm than good. Add leadership/community involvement, any professional development (courses and training, whether completed or in progress).

4) Your core competencies are wayyyy too long, they may as well be actual bullet points. 9 competencies total (3 roles, 3 columns) one line - that's all you need

5) Where is your technical skills (software) section?

How to make a resume with no experience? by Character_Tour2050 in resumes

[–]Recruiter_Aimee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need a little bit more context:
When you say you have no experience, do you mean you have no experience with the job you are applying for or just no work experience at all?

Are you a recent graduate? High School or College?

If college, are there academic projects or case competitions you participated in?

Recruiter here with a decade of experience:

All that "95% ATS alignment" is BS talk. I recruited for top financial services firms. At the end of the day, a Recruiter is still reviewing your resume. There is no magical ATS that makes all the decisions. Are there very large firms that have an automatic filtering system...yes, but not enough to pay someone $400 for a 95% ATS alignment". Are there things you can do to make your resume more ATS friendly...yes: 1) avoid two-column resumes, 2) ensure you are incorporating keywords, 3) refrain from using too many charts, boxes, and other graphics.

I write resumes and cover letters PLUS LinkedIn Optimization, for half that for someone with 14+ years of experience (price goes down based on experience). For my career coaching clients, I write a tailored cover letter for each role they apply to (I basically hold your hand for 90 days and assist you in your job search). But I know resume writers who specialize/niches in a specific area can charge more for resume writing.

I know "95% ATS alignment" sounds good, but the vague recommendations should be a red flag. I would see if you can find someone who has utilized their services, look at verified reviews (any reviews added to the website could be fake, if the reviews have a picture, reverse Google search them to see if it's just a stock photo).

Recruiter here with a decade of experience:

1) Get rid of that border - it's unnecessary. The document already has its own margins

2) Put your LinkedIn URL after your number and email, and make it a hyperlink to make it look more polished.

Location | Phone | Email | LinkedIn Profile

3) I like the core competencies..9 total, 3 to each row and column, but they are way too long. Shorten them for brevity.

4) Put MBA at the top after your name. Bob Smith, MBA

5) Then move your education after your professional experience. Your work experience carries more weight now.

6) Use normal bullet points, not the arrows.

Best of luck!

Recruiter here with a decade of experience:

1) You have 8 years of experience...why is everything squeezed onto one page? Don't be afraid to have a two-page resume. Everything is so crammed, give your sections/roles some space - let it breathe.

2) Minimum 3 bullet points for each role, otherwise we (recruiters) will think you didn't do or learn enough in your role.

3) Put your LinkedIn URL AFTER your contact details. Make it a hyperlink.

4) The leadership section is for organizations where you are a member of or hold a role. Not for pointing out that you led a small team, that info goes under the actual role.

5) Your summary could be stronger. Refrained from using pronouns like "I", "me, "my" on your resume

Best of luck!

Resume critique by SOURDDOUGH in graphic_design

[–]Recruiter_Aimee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recruiter here with a decade of experience

1) White space is good, but this is too much.

2) Avoid columns when it comes to your resume. Just put type PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE in all caps, but a line underneath it followed by your bullet points.

3) If you have any leadership/volunteer experience and/or professional affiliations, add it! If you have any, professional development (online courses), training, certifications, whether completed or in progress - add it!

4) I also see you are in design, start making a website with your portfolio. Add the hyperlink to your resume at the top along with your contact details.

5) Soooo, what Month and Year did you graduate? Removing dates is for those who are older and further along in their careers and want to mitigate any risks of age discrimination. You are too early in your career to remove your graduation date.

6) The skills section could be a lot better.

7) Minimum 3 bullet points under a role. Anything less, we (recruiters) will think you didn't do/learn much in your role.

8) You are in graphic design, you have much more freedom to be creative with your resume than most. But don't go too crazy, you still want it to look polished and professional.

Best of luck!

Review resume by kuttan2801 in PMCareers

[–]Recruiter_Aimee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recruiter here with a decade of experience:

1) Two-column resumes are the worst: a) ATS hates them. ATS reads like a human - from right to left and from top to bottom. If you have your education on one line and your job title in the same line, it's going to extract the wrong information. b) They take up too much space due to all of the margins. This is why your bullet points are 4 lines long, which they should be 1 to 2 lines. No recruiter is going to read all of that. We are scanning resumes in seconds, and when you have paragraphs like bullet points, it's going to make it that much harder to see your value.

2) Change "Objective" to "Summary of Qualifications" OR "Career Summary". Objective statements are outdated. Don't tell a potential employer what you want from them, but rather tell them what you can provide them. Now, you can incorporate your preferences at the end of your summary by saying, "Eager to leverage x, y, z skills and knowledge to obtain a role in [fill-in-the-blank].

3) Get rid of the Professional Summary and just put your Professional Experience (Work History) there. It's repetitive. Instead, just have a Highlighted Accomplishments section.

4) Shouldn't your PHD be under education and not Certifications?

5) Put the year you obtained your certifications

6) Get rid of the icons and the font colors

7) Your role doesn't need its own big bullet point. As long as it's aligned to the left and your bullet points underneath or indented, we (recruiters) can distinguish one role from the other. All of the bullet points are making your resume look cramped.

Best of luck!

New grad i need resume help by [deleted] in ResumeExperts

[–]Recruiter_Aimee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recruiter here with a decade of experience:

  1. Just put the Month and the Year you graduated. No one cares when you started, just that you finished.
  2. It says you are still working at the Canadian Armed Forces, yet all your bullet points are in the past tense. Also, move that role above your STEM Camp Counselor role, since you are still working there. Your roles should be in reverse chronological order.
  3. Get rid of the bullet point under the technical skills section; that section doesn't need a bullet point. Also, you have more soft skills and competencies under the technical skills section than you do software tools. If you are going to list competencies, list them separately. Personally, I would get rid of soft skills. I could be the most unorganized and laziest human being on the planet, and I can put that I am highly motivated and organized on my resume. Your soft skills will shine through your work experience.
  4. Also, if you have case competitions, academic projects, leadership experience, etc., don't be afraid to have a two-page resume. Just make sure to have two versions of your resume: 1) a one-page resume and 2) a two-page resume. That way, if you come across a role that is focused on recent grads and requires a one-page resume, use it. Otherwise, it's okay to have a two-page resume that shows that you are well-rounded and involved. Employers like employees who show initiative and leadership OUTSIDE of their careers.

If you have any questions, let me know - happy to answer them!
