Interviewing with Apple next week for the roles of Global Supply Manager (GSM) and Worldwide Procurement Analyst in Austin. Does anyone have any tips or advice for the interview? What kind of questions do they ask?
Also, what’s the compensation like in Austin specifically? I would think the compensation would be different than Cupertino. Anyone have any offers or salaries for these positions in Austin?

Content hints at depth if you read between the lines, but your resume as-is screams mediocrity.
Your bullets are job descriptions and role expectations. There are numbers, but few real metrics.
Shift your thinking into telling a story about your impacts. What did you do, what did that impact, and how/how much?
Looks like @A&M1 has lied more than any of us
Change font to times new Roman and get rid of all the white space. Google Harvard resume sample and good formats/examples will come up
What’s your educational background?
GPA doesn't even matter after your first job
Imo no one's going to read an 8 bullet points job "summary". I think you should have three, maximum four, bullet points for each job (most impactful ones obv).
Are you targeting a specific sector or interested in a specific service network (e.g. supply chain, finance, tech, etc.) ?
Whichever direction you want to go I would think of the related tasks and accomplishments in your career that align close enough. They are there you just need to tell the right story. Shorten it as well. I did xyz that resulted in impact abc.
Chief
Are you able to quantify the impact you had. You can list a responsibility but you may have failed hard.
Use each point to explain when you did and what impact you achieved (money saved, times saved, key decision reached, crisis resolved etc).
First off, very sorry to hear that you got laid off. Hope that you can find something that suits you fairly quickly!
I’d work on formatting and wording.
Formatting will improve the resume from a first looks perspective
1-Google different templates and you’ll find something that you feel is visually appealing (font change, holding, spacing)
2-Periods at the end of each sentence, either put them on all points or none at all
Wording
1-Grammar, either use all past tense or all present tense but keep it all the same (especially within the same job). In your second job listed, you use both
2-Content could be tailored to the job you’re applying to. If strategy, focus on how you helped shape strategy and what were the plans you came up with plus results. If you want a general resume, it could help to group things together that are related to the same sub task (example: digital related things, group together)
3-Use a diff starter word for each bullet point (just visually changes things, variety helps here)
4- Cut back on the number of bullet but make each bullet point more punchy. The way you do this is think through what is the story you’re trying to tell; is it that you did a variety of tasks so you are ready for many different types of roles? Is it to show that you worked in xyz area, and therefore have a background in and want to build on that? Etc, etc
5- Add results wherever possible. Example, you said somewhere that you helped grow a digital platform, I’d start with that (on that point). “Grew digital platform by xyz% through abc,…”
Last tip: google resumes that are used for the types of jobs you’re applying for, and see if anything in there could be applied to your resume (could be phrasing, story telling etc)
Hey sorry to hear about the layoff.
— For how to write your billets look up ACR format (action, context results). Every bulletin should start with a verb and end in a quantifiable result that benefitted the company.
— You are right your resume doesn’t scream tech or hr but you can word your accomplishments to highlight attributes and skills needed for that area. Ops and proceed mgmt are probably where you would naturally have strengths.
— Consider masters/MBA programs to make the pivot you want to tech or HR roles.
DMed you!
Pro
Your resume this far into your career is not that important. Best for you to focus on your network.
I think that's not quite true in OP's case because their career path has taken a couple left turns. To move into managememt or strategy consulting from where they are, their experiences in their resume have to make sense and tell a good story.
In what role/industry/function do you think OP's resume will gain the most traction as is?
Sorry to hear and Best of luck! As a couple others mentioned, I’d really try to think of it as a story-what do I want to convey with each job, and just overall? Maybe I’m a great people manager (then highlight that…use action words like managed, led, coached, etc. with key accomplishments)…maybe I get stuff done (try implemented, executed, etc. and talk about how that transformed the business). Maybe I learn quickly or I’m a curious person who tackles new issues (Learned, developed, rapidly integrated)
Sorry to hear about the layoff. I generally liked your resume. A few suggestions.
1. Add a 2 or 3 line exec summary which includes your goals in your next role. Fine if you have several versions for different kinds of roles.
2. Too many job related bullets for me. 8 bullets for a job you had for like 2 years is too much- I’d shoot for 4 to 5.
3. I understand what you did very well, but I don’t quite understand the business impact. Add hard numbers wherever possible.
4. I mentioned cutting down job bullets which give you some space. Add school (not gpa), interests, and hard skills if you have them.
Good luck feel free to dm on further resume work
