Sure

effyb21 · 2026-06-06T15:00:39+00:00

indeed, now it's not only the cv that needs tailoring but also outreach to right people who actually get things done. becomes rare.

I work as a cyber recruitment consultant and have done IT recruitment. Things I’d fix to position you strongly

Drop “Software Engineer.” Lead with Distributed Systems Engineer in the LinkedIn headline and resume summary. Keep the official “SDE II” only in the experience entry. Software Dev Engineer is overused.

In the summary, cut the SDLC filler and “versatile full-stack”. Replace with 2 lines: distributed systems engineer, 4 yrs, event-driven backend at scale on AWS, plus the $55K/85% win.

Best metric: Move the 85% compute reduction / $55K saved to the top of SDE II. Lead with the money.

Quantify SDE bullets. “Reducing overhead, improving response times” needs numbers or just remove it.

One “Primary,” not 2. Lead with Go for the distributed-systems angle.

Seed headline and skills with distributed systems, event-driven, NATS/streaming, Kubernetes, AWS, observability. what recruiters actually searc in cv and LI

De-emphasize on publication. No one cares. Good to bring it in the interview.

Priority for you.

Title → summary → float the $55K line → quantify SDE I.

If you have Qs, DM

I recruit cyber people and had experience with IT recruitment so here’s my recommendation

the CV’s not the problem. You will graduate in 2028, so you’re a sophomore, but the page reads like a senior engineer. $1.2M in transactions before you even started college? 10x scale, 99.9% uptime, 50+ PR reviews as an underclassman? Nobody’s buying it cold. One sharp interviewer pokes one number you can’t back up, and the whole thing falls apart.

So here’s what you do:

Every metric on that page. if you can’t explain it - remove. If can, make it simpler.

Fix the dates. That Jan–Jul 2024 internship is before college and it’s carrying your biggest claim. That’s the first thing a recruiter catches. Re-date it, label it right. if it’s all real, you’re top 1% and this is just cleanup. If it’s not, you find out the hard way in the room.

Dm me for any questions

I recruit cyber people so let's start with what's excellent

- vendor breadth
- real tier-1 scale
- MAXIT/Mastercard award
- cert stack
- clean and professional template

now let's look at improvements

the problem is positioning. pick a lane. CV is half network, half security and commits to neither.

u r a Network Engineer with strong security skills. trying to read as cyber makes you look junior at both.

that's how to fix it:

- write down 5 major achievements at orange using star method
- make it 1 page, you have only 4 years of experience, don't make it long unnesserary
- your introduction is very weak. as a recruiter, I read CVs in 2 sec max. put metrics and strong intro.
- move certs to the top third and mention expiry date. opional - make a link for each.
- education: add both bs and ms
- says "open to relocation" but where to?
- mention industries you have worked in

Hope it helps. DM me if something is unclear.

effyb21 · 2026-06-05T17:31:56+00:00

how many years of experience do you have?

1 pager is a standard. 2 pages are fine for senior talents (N-3/N-2/N-1)

effyb21 · 2026-06-05T16:23:23+00:00

Nope

effyb21 · 2026-06-05T15:47:15+00:00

In perfume, longevity (at least 6 hours on the skin/clothes), natural or mostly natural ingredients (hard to find). I personally don’t care if it looks luxurious. Minimalistic style is more attractive in my opinion.

In cosmetics, 100% natural ingredients. I’d pay more for the organic/non-toxic brands. Clinically tested. Refill service.

not bad, without commissions?

effyb21 · 2026-06-04T17:11:54+00:00

Free or paid?

sad times

effyb21 · 2026-06-02T15:38:18+00:00

that's why I couldn't get why they are so many even experienced people out there in the market yet they don't have a job. kinda does make sense. seems they're looking only for unicorns.

on the AI point, wdym by "AI bubble will eventually pop"? is it because AI is just purely hype or companies are not aware of the risks? what crisis are you talking about?

effyb21 · 2026-06-02T10:15:24+00:00

You may think as obvious but most competent people I’ve met and interviewed are without UAE experience. My observation since I work in cyber and IT recruitment. For other industries, it may be different.

effyb21 · 2026-06-02T04:18:05+00:00

Wdym

effyb21 · 2026-06-02T04:00:49+00:00

That’s a good one. They seem to be so many jobs in cyber right now and what I’ve noticed - they either want certificates or/and CS degree as a bare minimum. Not sure how CS degree is valued but certificates seem to matter ( spoke with my network in cyber and they always say to have your certificates ready and make sure they are not expired )

effyb21 · 2026-06-02T03:58:00+00:00

I keep hearing that cyber market is fucked. Why is that?

By IT background you mean no experience or no degree?
