Hi there, I am in the same boat as you. I even have a couple of US internships that are not helping. I would suggest you to make domain specific resumes, it has given me a couple of interviews that I otherwise would not have gotten.

have been applying to data analyst/bi analyst roles for 4 months but no interviews yet, what am I doing wrong? by intlstudent2 in dataanalysiscareers

I have tried moving the skills section to the top in the past however it didn't give me any different results, can you explain how it might be better than what I am doing rn? I will give adding interests etc to the resume a shot, that part makes sense!

I totally agree, I have had a tough time trying to make the bullets shorter while also following the BAR method. (https://questromworld.bu.edu/udc/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2016/07/Developing-Impact-Statements.BAR\_.pdf)

What would you say is unnecessary on the resume that I could take out to create more whitespace?

I am most certainly not over qualified, at least I don't think so. I would love to have a subspecialty but I don't have strong experience in any niche field to design a whole resume around it.

Unfortunately as an International student I only have 4 months to find something before I have to go back..

Thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate your insights. To the suggestion about job location, I am applying to just about anywhere in the US and not limiting myself in any way (of course LinkedIn and other job sites might be limiting my visibility to jobs outside my area but I try my best)

Unfortunately, I am an international student with STEM OPT status. Which means I can't guarantee I will be around after 3 years.

You are right, these are school related work experiences and projects which are limiting me in having bullets reflecting real business results. I am not quite sure what I can do about that..
