Your resume looks solid, but a few changes could make it more impactful. Start by revising your professional summary to highlight measurable achievements, like improved system uptime or ticket resolution rates. In the experience section, lead with accomplishments rather than duties—for example, emphasize how your actions improved efficiency or customer satisfaction. Grouping skills into categories like Technical Skills or Security can also improve readability. Lastly, if you have more certifications, add them to showcase ongoing development. Need more help? Kindly Let me know

Where are your results, your outcomes? You have everything that you’ve done, but you don’t have the meat sitting with those actions. Whatever your outcomes for each role, put those at the top of that section. Knowing what your duties are is fine, but you need to put the resultsthat you had in that role.

Your resume is extremely generic. It's great that you have nearly 8 years of hands-on IT experience, but your resume reads like you're still new to the field. It's lacking context - achievements, outcomes, scope, size, budget of all projects and teams you've been on. What sets you apart from other IT specialists? Are you trying to land a role with more responsibility? Bigger company? Do you want to lead/manage?

Hope that helps.

It might be easier to read this lol

I would encourage you to keep the resume format simple, so the extra arrows, creating more spaces, doesn’t allow for enough information. It’s also very tasked based and should be more accomplishment focused. The work that you did, how did it positively impact the team, the business? What were your KPIs/ metrics?

Hi All,

I submitted my resume in Accenture portal 3 months back and now I got shortlisted for interview.

My yoe is 3.6, but the interview is scheduled role "Application lead project". Is this normal?

Are there any chances they might reject me as the interview is for lead role while my YOE fall in senior analyst / analyst role.

Thanks,
