Maybe it’s not ATS friendly? I’m not a huge fan of these formats tbh
Yeah..maybe.
Thanks
You have a ton of experience that I feel is reading more like a job description then a resume. Try to leverage your descriptors to speak more about HOW you were able to achieve those things vs. just the fact that you did them. Use that as an opportunity to talk about your skills and prowess
I appreciate your feedback. I hear this a lot, too.
An example shall be really helpful.
It looks okay. What positions/companies are you applying to?
I am applying for entry level-roles in companies having more than 200 employees as I have a startup background, wanna explore further.
Happy to set up time to chat. I work for AWS and could offer some insight. Message me if you’d like!
Rich experience, bro. Only thing I can comment on may be the layout. Overwhelming presence overall, you might want to expand it to two-three pages to give room for the content and guide the eyes.
I'm part of my dept hiring team. I never cared if your CV is one or two pages. Neither does my HR team.
I'm more likely to throw away a CV that's overwhelming/ugly over one that's formatted nicely in two pages.
Which job level are you applying for? You mention 7 YOE. In your website, but your resume doesn't have more than 2. So if you apply for non-entry level jobs you would mostly likely get declined. Either add the missing experience or apply to lower levels.
Also your tech skills are a bit scattered around (next to projects and mixed with soft skills in the skills section). It's hard to follow. I personally like a list of the technologies you've worked with but also a degree of how much comfortable you are with them, all of this in its own section.
Your second experience, managing wordpress and Drupal for 4 months is quite basic compared to the others but occupies the same space. I would expand and highlight your top strengths.
If you are adding keywords, add them in a skill sections since any web developer that reads "developed with CSS3 and HTLM5" in 2022 smells BS to be honest. Same with "JavaScript and react.js" in the same project, if you use react it's implied you have at least JavaScript (not the same could be said for Typescript for example). I would focus more on data and facts of things you did, embellish were you can but don't exaggerate small things or it would read fake. Again, you can add as many keywords as you want in your skills sections.
As per the promotion achievement, i would split it into two job positions in the same company. This gives you the chance to show how your responsibilities and scope increased.
You're missing a certificates/awards section. While they're not a must, it's nice to have and there so many that are quite and easy to get but are also very valuable. AWS Cloud Practitioner for example. If you have done any competition/hackathons, even if you didn't win, I'd add them here too.
You don't have any language listed. If you speak anything other than English, I would add it here.
In the education section, add at least few of the courses you had that are now meaningful to your job role. Not all CS degree are the same, but individual courses share a similar syllabus.
Just trying to give practical suggestions based on my opinion. Also check with ATS rules before applying any of the above, i may be out of line since I'm not an expert on that.
I really appreciate your feedback.
I am applying for entry-level or junior roles only; 7 years represents my combined (educational and occupational) experience. But I'd change that to just the work experience.
Apart from that, I really respect your time and feedback. I'd definitely go through the changes that you have mentioned.
How many have you applied to in the past couple of months?
Maybe a million, but many of the previous positions were applied with a different resume. This is the most recent one, which I like the most.
Recruiters are tired of seeing web CVs. Just build a web app (or more) that could be a MVP for an own business. Put that into your projects section.
Some companies automatically analyze the CVs based on Keywords. I doubt that they will scrape your website and check that. So better send in a PDF.
In my opinion I can't detect a real expertise. You have so many technologies shown, so I can't tell in which you are an expert.
Yes, I am sending pdf only. Web CV was just to add something to my profile. And I'll highlight my expertise.
Thanks for your feedback.
