I’d stick to 3 -4 bullet points per exp

#

5 then 2, 2, 2 looks odd

gilded gorge
#

edu at bottom weird

#

u go to good school put it at top

#

skills at bottom

worthy mural
#

^^

gritty ice
#

should i try to combine points then?

worthy mural
#

I feel like u can remove ur 4th or 5th bullet point and merge it with another

gritty ice
#

True

#

Thanks

worthy mural
#

We use the same stack

gritty ice
#

I was doing sysadmin/devops stuff

worthy mural
#

Ohh

#

How u liking devops seems like ur more interested in embedded

gritty ice
#

Not that interested in embedded more like systems programming. But I don’t have enough exp for anyone to want me

#

Wbu

worthy mural
#

It’s been alright, can be pretty slow sometimes but idm

gritty ice
#

what work are u doing?

worthy mural
#

Terraform stuff

#

And some automation

#

Pretty chill but feel like I haven’t done much in my 4 months here

gritty ice
#

Why

gritty ice
#

seems like a mouthful if i try to combine them

gritty ice
#

Wait why

#

I haven’t heard that advice before

worthy mural
#

Yeah u should try to use 100% of a line or 200%

#

Looks more appealing

drifting root
#

change all ur job titles to software engineering intern

#

And if u really want do like software engineering intern (firmware)

#

etc

gritty ice
drifting root
#

maybe not that one

gritty ice
drifting root
#

i mean dev. ops is swe

gritty ice
#

Alr

gritty ice
#

@drifting root @worthy mural @latent lake what are we thinking gentlemen

#

(skills and education should be swapped i forgor)

gilded gorge
#

add sum courses n shiet

#

concepts sec too

#

ur first exp is still way too bloated

#

like no one gonna read allat

gritty ice
#

should i cut down to 1 liners?

#

or split to 5 points or what

gilded gorge
#

imo for a res it should be 3-4 one liners or 2-3 two liners max

#

these mfs r sifting thru hundres of apps if they cant get the idea from a glance at the first bulletpoint its already kinda chalked

#

dont put technical ass info in ur first bullet either

#

put urself in the mind of a recruiter

#

u dont need to spam keywords in ur points

#

j throw allat in a concepts section at the bottom

#

focus on making shit acc readable

#

ur gmi tho

worthy mural
#

Would add relevant courses too just to fill up a bit of space in education ^^

gritty ice
#

second point is quite bloated but not sure how to split it up

#

otherwise i'd have 5 bullet points

gilded gorge
#

id chill with the names

#

think abt it the first mf to read this is gonna be a recruiter

#

they dont know what any of ts means

#

make it straightforward

#

and if an engineer wants to know what u used, they will j ask

#

Jessica with comms degree from bama is gonna get a headache from reading this

#

thats my opinion tho some people fw the technical jargon slop style resume

#

add a concepts section in skills tab and spam all the keywords there

#

keep the points actually readable

gritty ice
#

so ill just leave them there

#

and remove them from the points

#

thanks

gilded gorge
#

u need more concepts tho

#

let me send mine one sec

gritty ice
#

kk

gilded gorge
#

this should be like an ATS catchall

#

Like u wanna hit maxx skill matching score for every job descript here

gritty ice
#

i see

#

do ur points mention any of that stuff then

gilded gorge
#

ill send u an example of one of mine one sec

#

so first point is like general overview that any human can understand, engineer or not

#

second and third are a bit more technical and descriptive but still no need to namedrop every framework/api/tool etc

#

ur roles r more technical than mine so its going to be more jargony which is fine

gritty ice
gilded gorge
#

but yea I think simpler is usually better and u can go into all the detail when actally speaking to an engineer

gritty ice
#

got it

gilded gorge
#

arya put me on to this btw but I have noticed better results like this

#

i used to write ode info and was getting perma ghosted

#

slimmed it down and response rate went up

gritty ice
#

👍

gritty ice
#

do u u have a concepts section as well?

#

to just spam keywords

#

im just concerned that if i dont mention all relevant tools/technologies then they wouldnt think i used them? idk

gritty ice
#

do i need to apply the same thing to my other exps?

#

kk ty

#

anything specifically that can be better

#

also why is ur pfp christmas chick yo

#

wrong time

gilded gorge
#

+1 on everything pogman said

gritty ice
#

updated resume if anyone else wants to take a look

worthy mural
#

Looks good
