Does anyone have any recommendations on consolidating a resume for an experienced mechanical engineer (30ish years experience on top of an associates degree) down to two pages required by most AI driven application portals that doesn't make the portal choke on the info?
Also that downplays the fact that I'm in my 50's?

I had one made, half was about what I accomplished and the rest was just a list of jobs I had. It did get some good interviews, no job offers though. I had a good career but I got sick and started my own design company doing Freelance while recovering. I had a friend who did controls and that helped. Covid really hurt, took Security Supervisor job because it was considered relevant.

Yeah. I'm also weighing what ican do to switch paths and still support my family. 30 years of high stress has payed well, but I'm burned.

I used ChatGPT to make it an ATS friendly resume to 2 pages. It got me interviewed within a week after months of nothing. I too am in my 50s.

It's obvious you've become overly reliant on AI. I think describing your situation realistically and then automatically simplifying it would be more time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it would definitely be more effective.
