Graduated with my second masters from Georgetown University and it’s been 6 months not being able to find a job in Healthcare Analytics.

Some won’t sponsor me, as I’m international - which I don’t even need for the next 3 years (nice to have but still). Some won’t consider me because I need clearance.

I would appreciate any advice (companies to look at, referrals, suggestions for resumes). It’s such a daunting process, and I’m losing hope.

Happy Holidays everyone!

You tried Deloitte?

I took a look at your resume.

Rule #1. Don't make whoever is reading your resume work trying to understand what you are trying to say.

Some suggestions.
1. You have enough time in the job you can drop the education to the bottom of the resume.

2. Move your projects section to above your work history- that shows actual real world experience

3. Likewise you have enough skills and experience, you can go to a second page.

4. You have some "war stories" in your resume- Excellent. But very few outcomes- what was the end result of what you did? By extension, why would a company care.

5. Part of your summary is redundant. The tech skills and HIPAA compliance. You already detailed those attributes in the skills section.

The goal of the summary is solely to excite the reader to want to spend additional time to read further. Managers, especially HR don't like to hear the same thing over and over. They consider it wasting their time.

6. The ATS does NOT recognize the section titled "Professional experience." ATS's only recognize "Work experience" or "Work History." Anything after "Professional Experience" will not show

Hope it helps

Вижу вы в Казахстане работали - так что надеюсь что можно и на русском отвечать.
Вы пробовали в контрактные компании обращаться? Я тоже была международным студентом и так как основные компании не принимали иностранцев - начала работать через контрактников. Они свою долю забирают конечно но зато у них всегда есть клиенты куда вас могут устроить. И еще с ними договариваться легче насчет документов.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
