I have a very similar résumé structure. I would make the dates and locations aligned to the far right bar

like

List accomplishments with the metrics that you impacted instead of your job duties. Everyone in the same roles, do the same things. What’s important is what impact you had during your time in the role. Can’t stress this enough as this is the death nail in most resumes I see.

Education goes on the bottom. No one cares that you went to school, other than checking that box.

Reverse chronological is great

Consistency of the resume is great

like

Recent graduate leave your education at the top. Write a more compelling summary section,tell us exactly the role you’re seeking and why you’re passionate about it (using key words from the job description). Good luck!

like

If you want to be like every other recent graduate, leave it at the top. If you want them to focus on the excellent work history you have built up, leave it at the bottom. You’re essentially spending the hiring manager/recruiters limited attention on the wrong things. The right things are (what can you do, and how can you do it for me?)

Great resource for recent grads :)

I don’t like fluff bullets like “communicated in a professional manner”. That’s baseline min and doesn’t set you apart from others. It would make me think you’re not aware of what are distinguished accomplishments.

If you are interested in using your skills, talents, and education in a manner a bit different from what your degree, and if you are willing to move to Dallas Texas, consider applying for the open Chemical Safety Specialist position at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. It's a great place to work and on top of everything else, we get Texas Teacher's Retirement. Google "jobs at UT Southwestern". On the search page, enter "Safety" as a key word to find the post. I will even copy/paste your resume and email it to the hiring manager if you want to see what he has to say.

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?
