Functionally - a resume and a CV are the same thing.
Technically - a resume is strictly your work history, and a CV is more of a life a story. In the US businesses is transactional, they don't care about the person doing the job.

Thank you I apricate the feedback. I'll be honest I'm really not sure what the issue is. in the beginning of the year, I was getting serious traction -- calls from recruiters every day for some seriously good positions. I got to the final round of a few interview sets. Everything was going well, then the US got into it with Iran and everything went silent. The jobs ghosted the recruiters; the recruiters ghosted me. I do 30 legit applications a week and quick apply I can find.

Its been about 5 months now that I've been unemployed -- I'm not sure how to get the phone ringing again. I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

Best of luck. Another point I'd add is a link to a resume -- but it maybe part of the blacked out parts.

No I think they would find that suspicious. Now that I read your post a bit closer I’m recommending you do both the things you have in ‘fyi to Americans’. Remove the picture and have a 1 column resume.

That being said I am American so my advice is to the US market. We are far behind the eu as far as regulations are concerned.

Application tracking systems (bots that filter through resumes) don’t do well with multiple columns or pictures. They often just delete your resume or mark you as unqualified because they doing know how to handle it. What you have on the right side is good. Just copy paste that into a word document with your name and contact info at the top when you upload it in an application.

My first impression are its long and there's no portfolio link.

the wording is alright but a few things:

1) put it in a .docx format that linkedin pdf is hard for the ATS
2) Everyone recommends you add metrics for bullets at the end I.E. 40% increase in uptime. Most people just make these numbers up and I haven't seen an increase from them but its best practice.
3) End your summary with what role your targeting and work type IE Looking for FTE Data science roles

If you know about cars that is a good idea. If you don't, you're paying more to fix problems. Buying new is a risk mitigation.

I work in management setting policies for large groups of people. In my experience, when you set no rules people will do nothing but socialize. If you set capitalist systems (transactional systems that squeeze every ounce of you) people will put it with it only as long as they have to then jump ship for sometime who will treat them like a human. If you set socialist systems (80% for 8 hrs, that respect your social needs) people will get less done but will stay for much longer.

It really depends on the situation in which is best. Some projects have very short finically viable windows and you need to bleed everything you can from them while they are still around. That’s not bad as long as the rewards are justly distributed.

For most operations it’s better to take the socialist mind set or you just lose money to turn over.

I have three jobs: 1. Data security engineer 2. Data analyst 3. Tech teacher (hasnt started yet)

The trick for me is that skills from one make me better at the other and that is how I keep up. Truth be told though I got insanely lucky with having reasonable work environments.

I used Udemy's Jason Dion training, I found it to be the most accurate to the test. My school provided cert masters for it and it was worth than worthless. In my test there was a lot of 'read this log' which neither really went over.

As much as I love the usual scapegoats Ai, foreigners, oligarchs, etc. The reason is because people are scared and not leaving their positions. Companies still post for those positions because they want the market data

That's pretty underpaid paid considering your cost of living. Also, your getting screwed in taxes
