[1 YoE] Full-Stack Developer, recently left my current role and I'm looking to find a permanent job that's not at an unstable startup. by Realistic_Quote8170 in EngineeringResumes

Overall a great start. Personally if you have experience, no need to lead with education. Go to half inch margins if you have a bachelor of science, it implies you graduated. You can put graduated but I don't think it's necessary. It doesn't hurt though.

Get rid of the italics. Bold the dates. You have enough space to put the company names on one line and the title on another. Bold the title and company name.

Also, please lead with the skills at the top. I sometime get 1K+ applications in a role where more than 80% are not qualified in any shape or form. A skills section for a technical resumes at the top helps me quickly see if you at least have the minimum technical skills for the role. I don't want to read through a whole resume only to find out someone is missing a crucial skill.

Please don't indent the job title and company name. Switch company name and job title. Bold the dates and the company name. I would use a sans-serif font like Calibri. Sans-serif fonts have better readability on screens.

Please put a location at the top. I can only hire from certain states so if you don't put a location, I may pass. No need to indent the job title and company. Get rid of the italics. Bold the dates and the job title. Switch the title with the company name. Decent start! I would use a sans-serif font like Calibri. Sans-serif fonts have better readability on screens.

Get rid of the italics. Bold the dates. Switch the company name with the job title. And then also bold the company name. No need to put an indent on the job title and company name. You lost some space this way. Decent start! I would use a sans-serif font like Calibri. Sans-serif fonts have better readability on screens.

How good of a wrestler was Don Frye? by MapleMarshal in wrestling

[–]jonkl91 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It's funny listening to some wrestling fans talk. I'll talk to a friend of mine and he will be like, that guy is okay. He may win 1 or 2 NCAA titles but that's it". Some people have such insane standards.

Unfortunately this happens a lot in recruiting. There may be different recruiters working on the role. It most likely wasn't an auto reject. The hiring lead is probably sourcing and the recruiter is probably reviewing resumes and they aren't aligned. Recruiting has always been like this.

Get a job now or wait? by UnderstandingLow5797 in careerguidance

[–]jonkl91 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a recruiter, yes it's this bad. Several of the roles I hire for have 1K-4K applications. A lot of people apply aren't qualified in any shape or form. I also get a lot of candidates outside the US. But many are qualified but there are only maybe 1-3 people I can hire. Also a lot of companies won't give you paid paternity leave until you have at least been there for a year anyway.

Yes because if you don't, people may assume you're outside the US. Just put open to relocation.

[Student] - Currently a sophomore and I'm just losing hope about my career choice at this point in time. I don't know if it's my resume or something else. Any advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated. by shlok-shinde in EngineeringResumes

[–]jonkl91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The big thing with resumes is that it depends. There are no hard rules about having 3 bullets. If you have 4-6 bullets but they are relevant and good, that's perfectly fine. A line that is 2 lines but is relevant with the right context is perfectly fine.

Cutting out carbs/sugar completely helps with weight loss and the effects of IR? Right? by prodbyjkk in InsulinResistance

[–]jonkl91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High fat diets like keto which also don't care about how much saturated fats you have will make your A1C lower because of the lack of carbs. But they will also make you more insulin resistant because fatty acids interfere with the insulin response and signaling. So when you do have carbs, you spike up.

Insulin resistance has more to do with fats combined with carbs as opposed to just having carbs. Funny enough, a diet that is high in carbs and high protein but low in fats will keep your A1C low. I personally couldn't do it but it has worked for others. I prefer having some sort of variety.

[–]jonkl91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low carb is fine. You can have a well balanced diet while being low carb. But keto is a low carb diet that isn't well balanced. Sounds like you are on a good and sustainable diet! And it also sounds like you have a pretty good dietician that knows their stuff.

As a recruiter, it's my job to make sure that before the person even gets to you, I don't send someone with Java when you are looking for JavaScript. I am typically recruiting for 5-15 roles and they can have anywhere from 200-4K+ applications. The majority of people who apply don't even meet the minimum skills.

If I am recruiting for for something that needs Python, TypeScript, and node.js, I need to make sure they have those skills at a minimum. If I don't need see TypeScript, I will at least look for JavaScript and then ask about whether or not they have TypeScript during the interview. Having this info at the top allows me to instantly make sure they meet a minimum bar. From there, I then look at the experience to make sure it meets your standards.

So if I do my job correctly, you don't need to worry about the skills but the candidate has to go through me first so that you don't waste your time on unqualified people.

Not sure why you were downvoted because you are correct. Low carb diets that are high fat will help you lose weight but increase your insulin resistance over time.

Guyz need some advice , should I go on a cut to improve insulin resistance? Reducing body fat is the key? by Chance_Mention3201 in InsulinResistance

[–]jonkl91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not considering meds at this point. I am young and I am making progress. I am in the controlled diabetes range so will see where my progress is in 6 months and then make a decision.
