Is anyone having any luck with a "modern" resume template? I've always used a very traditional style, listing my experience, skills, and education. But lately, I've noticed a lot of templates around with color blocks, charts, etc. Is one better than the other?

I was once told by a recruiter that many of those modern templates are not read well by the software many companies used, which can cause you to be passed over without a human ever seeing your application.

I have a shitty looking one, with spelling errors, but I have all correct keywords so it passes ATS scanning. Top sections are tailored to the hiring manager’s JD.

Always use the traditional. The “modern” ones aren’t as clean / easy for recruiters to read. Every time I see a recruiter talk about those two different types of resumes, they always prefer the traditional ones.

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
