Hello Everyone!
I have done my bachelor's in mechanical engineering and master's in engineering management for process excellence from the uni of Glasgow and uni of Strathclyde respectively. I'm currently looking for jobs and have 2 years of running my own company. I'd be glad if anyone can help me with this and guide me accordingly. It would be ideal if I could get anything in process/operations but I'm flexible and am open to explore new areas.
Regards,
Aman

This hit me because I’ve felt that quiet pass-over too. For me, it’s when everything feels too generic—no specifics on impact or outcomes. I’m not saying you need to be flashy, but a resume full of vague responsibilities without any results makes it hard to connect the dots. It helps when someone sounds like a real person, not just a job description.
For me it’s vague, buzzword‑y experience with no concrete outcomes. If every bullet is “helped with,” “involved in,” and there are zero specifics or impact, I usually move on, even if the titles match. It makes me worry they were just near the work, not really doing it.
This is great advice, thank you for that, but how do you also show that you can be a great team player without mentioning working together?
if its dry and generic, i take a pass, because that person didnt care enough to add the details when their career is on the line
Interesting, I see the reasoning, can you make an example of what you'd flag as dry and generic? That would help, as sometimes it is hard to balance being concise and not being dry
Often it’s unclear impact or too generic details. Clear results, specific examples, and tailoring your profile to the role make a big difference.
