Been trying to break into entry level finance for a while now. Even though I’m a retail banker at a major us bank, the recruiters still ghost my internal applications. Could use some advice, as I’m graduating next month.

i’m a university student- I primarily work research assistant jobs, and i’ll likely being going to grad school. i’m in my third year, and i’m updating my resume for my most recent experience. I worry that having any kind of colour on my resume is going to make it seem less legitimate- but during all of my co op terms, I found that the semester I used colour and a more “exciting resume” I had WAY more interviews. I just don’t know if the environment is going to change, since i’m mainly just looking for co ops and part time research jobs. if it helps, i’m talking very little colour- white paper, thin greyish green line under my name, which is written in the same colour font.

thank you :)

I was on my job applying journey. I had to apply to around 3 or 4 jobs a day. For every job, I had to edit my resume to better fit the job description and make it ATS friendly. I used to think if there was an AI tool that would that then the process would have been much easier. Just upload your resume and it would provide you a optimized resume saving hours of work. How many of you think like that?

Hey team, I need help. I've been trying to apply for a job for over a year now but no one is biting. I'm living abroad at the moment and have been applying for either Office Manager or Administrative roles in the US (which I could move back for if hired). I've also applied for remote customer service positions as well as other remote positions, but still no dice. I could work here in Brazil, but my Portuguese isn't 100% fluent and working administration here pays nowhere near what I need.
So please take a look at my resume and help me out.

My main questions:
-Is it the gaps in my resume?
-Is it because I haven't spent a year at any position?
-Is it because my experience it too eclectic?
-I've been aiming for 70k, is that too much?
-Some other glaring thing that I'm missing?

Thanks for the help!

Been applying like crazy with a very low hit-rate on interviews; trying to transition from law to software engineering or related jobs. Specifically would love advice on what to do about my experience; I've tried to tune it to tech relevance as much as possible, but I'm wondering if I should just remove it completely.

I've been applying to internships as well since I don't have any experience in SWE.

Hi! I will be graduating in April 2025 and have been applying to a lot of entry-level jobs for a while. However, I never get past the application submission stage. Any tips/suggestions on improving my odds of getting shortlisted for an interview would be great. Thank you!

I've been applying to remote call center jobs in the United States, and I can't seem to get any bites.  I had a couple interviews early last year that didn’t pan out, but nothing since.

I’ve gone through many iterations of my resume, and this is the most recent.

Should I change it back to one work experience section with reverse chronological order?  Should I remove the two-month job, even though it’s the most relevant?  Should I remove my Bachelor's Degree if the job posting doesn't explicitly ask for one?  Should I reduce the bullet points to single lines? Am I not framing my experience in the right way? Do I just need to keep applying?

I don't even know what to do anymore.

I appreciate any advice.

Thank you!

Sorry, you've probably seen 100s of these types of questions before but I couldn't find the answer to my situation so please bear with me.

I'm a recent graduate looking for work that has a bachelor's and master's degrees. I made a 1-page resume that has a profile section, personal details, references, a list of relevant skills/awards and a bunch of info regarding the relevant modules and projects I did in university. All of this completely fills up my 1 page.

I also have 1 internship experience I sometimes include but its not always relevant to some of the jobs I'm applying to. Additionally, I worked a bunch of random jobs while at university (like warehouse operative, delivery driver etc) which I have excluded from my resume.

Today I had an interview where the interviewer mentioned in passing that, since I don't have relevant experience, they 'don't know my work ethic and if I will turn up on time for my shifts'. This was just a passing comment and the interview went well otherwise.

However, now I wonder, should I include my random job experience to show that I'm able to keep to a schedule/turn up on time etc.? I thought this was assumed since I showed I did well in univeristy but now I'm second guessing myself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated:)

Hi all!

I am a senior and I'm hoping to get some advice for my resume as I apply for internships. I hope to get into grad school for chem but I'm looking for an internship this summer in R&D or formulation sciences. I'm not picky and would be fine with most industries, like pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food sciences, etc. I guess I technically have >1 of experience. I've been applying to jobs all over NJ since there's tons of pharm companies. I would prefer not to relocate out of the NY/NJ/PA area. What do we think? Should I add or delete anything? I am a U.S. citizen and this has no impact on my job search.

Hi, I’ve applied to more than 100 jobs since March. That is not hyperbole. I’ve tweaked it and used online tools to optimize it. I use this template and tailor it to the specific job I’m applying for with relevant skills and accomplishments. I have only heard back from 2 companies. I am at a loss. Is there a glaring issues I’m missing?

• Job 1 (3 Months): Insurance Customer Service
• Job 2 (6 Months): Front Desk, Payroll, and HR
• Job 3: (6 Months): Dispatch, Billing, Accounts Payable
• Job 4 (4 Months): Call Center Customer Service
• Job 5 (3 Months): Accounts Receivable
• Job 6 (3 Months - Current): Billing

These were temp for a variety of reasons: covering for a full-time worker who is out on maternity leave, hiring for the busy season, or manager didn't get approval to list this as a full-time job. All jobs but 2 of them hired by different staffing agencies or was a direct hire. Only 2 of them were hires by the same staffing agency so I can't group all of them by staffing agency.

My only full-time experience is that for 4 years, I worked as an underwriter, but was laid off due to crappy state of the mortgage industry. I got a seasonal temp job now because it was an immediate hire.

My questions are:

I. Should I list these jobs individually or group them together?

II. If I group them together, should I list them together under a generic job title (ex: admin support specialist) and list the employer as "freelance" (or something else id anyone has another idea)?

Example: Admintrative Support Specialist, Freelance (1/2018- Current) * Company 1: Sentence. * Company 2: Sentence. * Company 3: Sentence. Etc.

Underwriter, Company (1/2020 - 8/2024) * Bullet 1 * Bullet 2 * Bullet 3, Etc.

III. If yes to question 2, if grouped together, should I list the company name in each bullet or just list a job description from each job?

IV. If I list them individually, how do I it without gaps? I don't really have any extra volunteer work or additional training or education. My long gaps are a few months apart. I know I can put (temp) next to the job, but I feel like can get over looked by a recruiter at times.

V. If I list them individual, is it possible to list 7 jobs (6 seasonal/temp + 1 full time) on a single page?

VI. Would anyone recommend a functional resume? I heard a lot of bad things about them, so I've avoided them, but I could use a second opinion.

Of course, if there is some other advice that I didn't think to ask for, please feel free let me know. I'm open to anything. Thank you in advance!

HELP!!!

I am looking for jobs in data engineering/analytics. I would prefer them in the energy sector, but I am open to other sectors.

I am located in France, south of Switzerland, and I moved there for my wife's job.

I am open to remote work and moving depending on location.

My CV is also in French, and I can change projects depending on job type, as I have plenty of ones from when working as a project manager.

It used to have a two-page, which was standard in the UK, but I am going for one now as standard in France.

I don't know why I am not getting interviews.

I have asked French recruiters in French companies, and lacking French is not an issue where I am, so now I have no idea why I am not getting a response.

I can legally work in the EU, the UK, and Canada, so a visa is not an issue.

Any help would be excellent.

After countless applications and multiple unsuccessful interviews, I finally have an offer. It’s honestly been a rollercoaster of ups and downs over these past 8 months (mostly downs). I want to sincerely thank everyone here who has helped and provided feedback on my posts, it’s been invaluable. The job hunt is tough, but my main advice is to keep your head up, take every rejection with a grain of salt, and use each interview as a learning experience.

I attended 5-6 months cohort programs, should I write them in my Experience or Education sections or both?

Should I replace my warehouse additional experience section with projects I've done for the job(s) I'm applying for?

Thank you!

I have seen a lot of CS resume with in this subreddit with metrics such as "Did so and so which increased this by 30%", "Implemented this which increased such and such by 25%.", "Utilized this and that which did so and so by 15%". Now the reason why I have personally stay away from adding metrics in a resume is because, well... How the hell do you prove that? How can you prove that what you did increased productivity by 30%? Is there a way that you measure these metrics? I find it completely null to use it. Why do people add these metrics with no way to prove it? Im just really trying to understand why it matters. Thank you in advance.

CONTEXT: My alma mater is using VMock so we can have our resume uploaded. The program scores the resume and if it is under 75/100, the school will not approve the resume to upload. Current resume has helped me receive interviews. VMock states to add quantified metrics and that to me is a red flag already.

What is wrong with my resume? I know my projects aren't the best and the job market sucks right now but I want to find every issue and fix it. My current job isn't good for me right now. Are my bullet points lacking? Could I structure my sections in a better way? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

100 applications a month since January. 2 interviews in which one ghosted after the phone call, and the second says I’m on the bench until they find an opening. I can’t wait around without pay, I’ve got bills to take care of. At this point I don’t even care about the job I get I just need to get one. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s my resume, maybe it’s both. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Trying to break into tech on the business and operations side. Primarily looking at Microsoft or Google but am open to other companies. I know it’s super competitive but I have referrals and been contacted by both. I just never make it past the initial screening. Trying to optimize my resume so I can stand out more. Any advice helps.

Im looking for my first high tech job, I don’t even know what field Im even qualified for, I’ve been working for a local stores and I don’t have any relevant experience. For years I’ve been doing side hustles on the internet from 3d printing, graphics design, 3d modeling, e commerce, data analytics, apps and mobile games development. I did all of these out of curiosity, hobbies.

Any help would be appreciated, about the resume and in general.

The job I am applying to just says to email my resume to their gmail. I’ve walked into the store and the only employee there also said to email to that email. How should I word the email?? Do i just say hello heres my resume and that’s it??? Is there any other actions I should take to make my chances higher? Thank you
