You should list proficiency in black rectangle.
Take out the comma after "including" under "customer service representative", it's not grammatically correct.
did you seriously put working at Target/Best Buy/whatever on your resume?
I would redo the summary of qualifications. look at other resumes for examples.
Also on technical skills I would replace the cheezy ones with something legit. For example there's no reason to put RDP and VNC as skills it will appear goofy to someone considering a phone screen. Technical skills is where you want to sell yourself so put big hard hitting shit in there.
Any feedback will be appreciated!
>programming instructor with absolutely no real world experience
why am I not surprised
I'm considering taking it off and splitting up my latest job to 2 different positions, as I got promoted form help desk to junior sys admin
I'd drop that sales associate thing at the end. All work gaps are begging for questions and it and it doesn't bring you much.
I think it's pretty OK for your level. I'd consider dropping the personal skills and dependable bits since your employment history should speak to that. I'd also try and drop some of the less impressive technical skills (microsoft products and dev apps). Perhaps instead fill the gaps with something on of your personal projects and relate it to those skills.
the formatting on your resume is quite bad. lose the bullets and columns.
move your skills to the top and indicate level of proficiency. next thing below is real work experience where you used those skills. make it look like a mini story with specific accomplishments.
also think about your header. for example at the top put first name last name and then immediately under it a made up title/description that indicates what you are for example someone might put "Information Security Specialist" just to show they are a security oriented person and not targeting a specific area. Someone else might put Web Developer and so on. This helps with HR filters.
Yes do that.
here. Yes, do that instead of going into detail on your personal projects as I suggested. A promotion after a few months speaks volumes more than the sales associate thing or details on code you wrote in your bedroom.
>All of these jobs held for less than a year
Why would I hire you if I felt like you wouldn't stay?
I have very valid reasons for all of these gaps.
(I was in prison for a minor felony)
First gap was my first year in school, left my 2nd job to start my internship at my third job.
The LaTeX template is on Github.
looks pretty good. you have the sections ordered correctly. give yourself a vague title. add a linkedin url and github if you can. biggest recommendation i can makw is change the fonts. would not chuck in trash if it was handed to me.
When is TheFalcon going to save this thread?
>add a linkedin url and github if you can
I have a public Github that I list at the top, right under my name, but it only has school projects on it right now.
I have a few other projects on my private Github but it's not something I want linked to me personally.
> I got promoted form help desk to junior sys admin
What? thats a huge jump
I got promoted from helpdesk to Application Analyst, from tier 1 to tier 3 and everyone at my job was pretty amazed. Sys admin is a whole different level.
Search "Career Tools podcast resume". Best advise you'll ever get on resumes, cover letters, and interviews.
Holy shit this is really good.
>All the hiring manager cares about is what you've done and how well you've done it, everything else is fluff
This was the go to template my engineering class used.
I have nothing fresh. It is already mid-year, and I have done no recruitment, so I will have nothing till the start of next year.
>Over 2 year
>2 year
>year
ain't gonna make it
>Excellent
>Strong
>Extremely
too gay, wouldn't hire/10
Cover letter is way too long and sounds too generic. Go for something like this (this got me a 100k+ job).
You are getting too specific
They didn't hire you by the latter, that's for sure.
Are you niggers all ESL? Or is this the American education thing coming into play again?
>JavaScript, not Javascript
>jQuery, not Jquery
>PowerShell, not Powershell
>PuTTY, not Putty
Getting these things wrong shows a lack of attention to detail. Get them right.
Why do people put skills before education, and even experience? Am I a boomer for not doing this?
6-second rule. Skills are the most important part of a resume.
Unless you are going for a position in academia. Then you put education first.
post more latex templates blox
>latex
Are Americans really this autistic enough to use it for CVs? The same faggots who have issues with wearing a suit and tie?
>Are Americans really this autistic enough to use it for CVs?
I'm not American, and I made my in LaTeX. See Of course, I have a CS heavy background, so I might be biased on the issue.
No bully pls
Ara ara turban-kun
>c
Baka aho. Shine!
>turban
kek. Actually had to google what that is
I said no bully ;_;
>Japanese (intermediate)
Let me guess how you learned that.
>needing to make your own cv to get a job
Lmao imagine actually being born into literal who peasant family. Hahaha, now imagine being born in a first world country to a literal who peasant family hahahhahahahha
You kids be glad internet and smartphones weren't around when your parents were young otherwise you'd be jacking off to your whore mothers like you're jacking off to your whore sisters today.
this is a fucking meme, i didn't even go to college and i know more shit than you
>listing IDEs and office shit
srsly?
bomb bomb bomb Iran
did you use an online template? thats some really nice formatting
Found you lol.
Yeah, it's not so hard.
Thanks, I made it myself, it's fairly easy to find me (as user above did) and then find my github, where it is.
>Experience working in the IT field through relevant work experience
this seems redundant
This. Why do these idiots think reacting their name and names of their institutions will anonymised their unique information written CV?
It's like fucking reacting your name from your biography and thinking that's it, you're unknown now.
First of all, it's "retracting"
Secondly, nobody cares. CV is public info
To be fair, if I didn't post it online with the exact same info, it probably would have been harder. But I don't really care that much... I'm not really hiding from Jow Forumsentoomen, but from web scrapers and search engine robots.
>reacting
Huh phoneposting. Not even once.
It's "redacting"
Fair enough. How's the PhD going?
He just wants to show off the fact that he has a PhD. Just like the other dude on Jow Forums who keeps telling people he works at Jane Street.
Yes do this
It really isn't. Junior studs admin is just system analyst
This guy now works in google
Working hard on finishing up one journal paper article, and then trying to write a second one. But I have to combine it with my daytime work, which is kinda hard.
Kek that cover letter
I assume it's all bait
I don't like the template but the content is fine.
If your email is [email protected] please change it
All Americans posting on this shithole are NEET, so of course they won't post here.
Some guy in my Linkedin network posted a sob story about how he couldn't get a job after moving to California. The post ended up getting 50,000 likes and he was offered a software engineering position at Lyft. In this day and age it's all about marketing yourself.
yeah and he was "homeless" by his own fault, he quit his high paying job to make a shitty startup
ThThis
Is the background color bad? Font is too big?
Also, dunno why you'd think I'd use an email like that. Its [email protected]
This is how you use Linkedin to get a job.
I heard the recommendation is you shouldn't use more than one column.
FONTS!!!
Calibri, TNR or Garamond? (No, I will not use Latex).
Its pretty common practice to list software used on school for engineering/cs jobs. Letting an employer know your software familiarity can mean they wont waste time training you on said software if you already used it during uni or showing you a similar one. Step it up bruh, you gotta sell yourself.
Forget resumes, if your covering letter is on point, the HR department wont even need to read it.
Right, but then the engineers will read it. You realize that theres an algorithm in place to scan your resume and see how many buzzwords from their listing you hit in order ro get theough to HR yh?
>Microsoft products
So I take it you have been writing Excel macros and long Word documents?
Because if not, then you obviously don't have those skills you claim to have. Excel might be one of the most intricate tools of our time. It approaches the complexity of an operating system, like Emacs, once you start really diving into it.
And don't get me started on Access and its hidden functionality for graphs, which has apparently been sitting in the back corner of the codebase since 1992, just like the SQL editor.
Yep I haven't had to write a serious resume for years now. Always end up getting headhunted and for interviews we just have a friendly chat.
Looks like a character sheet, not a resume. Ugly as sin.
Oh shit, this one looks really nice.
I'm 28 and I've never had a job and I dropped out of high school so my CV is an automatic worse-than-a-prolific-child-murderer/10. Also, I can't even find it.
the first one will translate well when scanned, but the second one may not
Any tips for 27year old graduate without IT experience?
I dropped out of uni some time ago and worked blue collar jobs (warehouse worker, security guard, etc). Now I'm back in uni studying software engineering and it's my last year. How do I make my CV presentable?
I got LPI Linux essentials certification.. What else I can do to increase chances of getting first job in IT?
Jow Forums seriously needs a separate job seeking board. Like /job/.
the trick is sending your resume to a hundred places (apply to jobs via Linked, Indeed, ITjobs, angelList, etc) and see which ones stick.
>muh excuses
if you really wanted it, you would find a way
Question: I quit university (compsci) in my 2nd year because I hated it. Is there any way to list that on a CV without looking like a drop out? Should I just leave it off entirely?
0/10 the black boxes would make me toss it out immediately.
burger post
Would it be a good idea to put a program that lets me talk to God in my resume?
cope
would you hire someone who didn't finish school and hasn't had a job for 14 years?
Depends on the job.
take a hike buddy
climb my dick, pal
i just put templeos under tools
Don't underestimate having a GitHub, folks.
Jow Forums told me off for having a github link. No matter what you put on your CV, someone will tell you you're making a mistake by putting it there.
>(Currently broken, help needed)
typical webshits
If you have a github link it better have some decent stuff on it. A link to a page with 1 half baked idea is worse than no link.
I didn't say it's currently broken
Jow Forums did not have a full URL to visit.
