Do you have any helpful tips on getting your resume seen?

I'm lost on whether or not my resume is actually working. I've had someone look over it and I've also run it through a resume checker. (It gave me dumb feedback but I changed it anyway just to see, and still nothing)

I'm considering doing something wild and making it bold and edgy and seeing if it helps... but I don't want it to flop against any resume scanners.

Before you design your resume, think about your target audience. If you're applying at agencies, then something edgey might be the way to go. However, if you're applying to inhouse roles in the corporate world, then I would keep it simple and clean, nothing crazy. It's all about your audience.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
