I, and many others, have been looking for months on months (7 months in my case). There are no tricks, the tech job market is abysmal.
I can attest to this as well. Going on 6 months…tech market is rough. Many are staying put or those who have been laid off and with great experience are struggling to find new jobs. Hoping for better days!
Sounds like the problem is less about your experience and more about how the resume is reading to the system. I went thru something similar after a role change, and the weird part was a cleaj-looking CV was getting ignored because the bullets were too generic and the keywords didn’t line up with the posting.
I’d strip it back and do one version per job, not one Resumeu-Jdge “master” CV for everything. Match the AWS terms exactly to the posting, especially the cert names, services, and any migration / infra wording. Also make sure Cisco stuff is framed in a way that maps to cloud ops, networking, or spport - a lot of people undersell that bridge.
If you haven’t already, check whether the format is tripping ATS parsig too. A lot of people blame the content when it’s actually headers, columns, or a fancy template getting mangled. Which kind of roles are you aiming at - cloud support, devops, or more solutions architect type stuff?
Going for AWS Cloud Architect or Solution Architect roles in London and surrounding areas. I have a master CV which I now tailor to each job description as I think the ATS was just disposing of the CV each time I applied. Thinking of going back to contract roles as permanent ones seem to be like gold dust at the moment........ Thanks for your tips though, much appreciated.
