I have worked on multiple Google projects and tools, ranging from spreadsheets to Google Data Studio. Basis familiarity with the Google systems, I have applied to endless jobs in the organisation. However, I have no idea why is it sooooo difficult to even get an HR call for the screening.

Hi fishes! The hiring manager has asked me for salary expectations of B6 Data Analyst and my experience is 3.5 yrs with a CTC of 6.65. Considering I have to move to Bangalore l'm thinking of asking 13 or 14.. is it a big ask? If so, what do you think is a good ask? Please help. Thanks in advance :)

I got an email from a recruiter from PayPal about a position I didn’t apply for. How do I know that? Because on workday you can see all the jobs I applied for. I applied for one position in the company but got reply for another position I am not interested in. The recruiter wants to set up a phone interview? How would you react? Because I would love working there, but not in this position,
Would you say something during the phone call or before?

Dir for the whole org.politely asked him to send her availability other than next Haven’t received anything since then . Wondering if such co.

I’ll echo others - it’s too dense, and you graduated very recently, you do not need more than 1 page. I always tell people about the gimmicky (but helpful!) one page resume for Elon Musk. https://resumegenius.com/blog/resume-help/elon-musk-resume
He’s done a lot more than most (if not everyone) in this bowl, and it can still be condensed to 1 page.
I’d also look at including some actual metrics in your resume. So you delivered campaigns - to what end? What were some of the impressive stats? Did you have X% of new leads? I’d think about having some type of data point for most bullet points in your resume.
And finally, your education is way too wordy and honestly not impressive enough to have that much detail. Your GPA is fine - but not worth having on your resume. Your extracurriculars are taking up too much space.
I’d really focus on condensing the content and evaluating what hiring managers want to see. Your resume might get you through the ATS system, but if I were hiring you for any job that would require someone to be concise or clear in their communication, this resume doesn’t give me the best first impression.
This template isn’t great for traditional business fields (consulting and banking), but the lack of words made me breathe a huge sigh of relief. Thank you for cutting it back

Very biblical vizZzual

This much too long. Even if everything is relevant, this format doesn't make any of it shine or stand out. Recruiters and hiring managers don't have much time to review resumes. Yours should make it easier for them.
1. Too much text. Only list most important bullets
2. More white space and line breaks will improve readibility.
3. Details like "student side job" don't matter. These are things they can ask about in the interview. Your main job is to intrigue them and make it easy for them to see that you're a fit with a onceover.
4. Make the companies and organizations you've worked for stand out. Lean on the recognizable brands to lend credibility.
5. Try to add more quantifiable impact and make it stand out.
There's a lot more I could add but those are some top points. I've done resume and LinkedIn reviews and I work in the Comms space as well. I live in Arlington so I'd be willing to meet and rework this with you if you'd like!
Like when did you decide not only was 2 pages an ok thing to do, but that you were gonna super load it like a super stacked Big Mac???
Not meta or google quality, sorry.
Yo what tf is this wall of text

Need more space between different roles. Shore up the copy, overwhelming right now. Remove everything from college. Keep max last 4 jobs.

This is helpful, thanks!
Condense to one page
I have been working for 22 years, and my resume is 2 pages, has only 10-20% of the most relevant things with respect to the job opening.
Is this serious? No way you got interviews with this...
Chief
Here ya go! One page.

Wayyyyy too long.
If this came across my desk I would open it, see how dense it was, and be scared off. That being said, I can see you take feedback very well so l think you’ll be overall. I looked at the comments some of the others made on how to trim it down and I agree those make the most sense.
Commenting to be up to date
This resume is good as long as it's only looked at by a machine, which is the earlier steps in the interview process. Once a human looks at it, it becomes a terrible format and a headache to read, which is the latter steps in the interview process. You can use a more legible format while still hitting all the keywords.
The only thing I can tell about this resume is I'm not reading it. Sorry
Enthusiast
It's not terrible. A little lengthy and can be definitely be cleaned up. The opener can go for sure. And you don't really need descriptions under each internship. But it's not a bad resume to be start with.
And I say this as someone who was a paid resume writer for years. I could take this and make a couple tweaks and change the format with ease.

Just wanted to share an update I landed an interview at a FAANG with the new format. Thank you all for chiming in with advice, and encouraging me to try a new resume design!

Here are pictures of each page:
What does "took over AUs Instagram 100+ times" even mean??
So much unnecessary information. Unless you're auditioning to be a concept pianist, you don't need to put down that you performed the Prokofiev Concerto.

Can you share a sample sustainably job posting you are looking for? That would be a start.

Relevance - what is photo service intern, photographer, etc has to do with the job you are applying? If nothing, take them out.

I thought the second page was a waste but for the education section.
