It's a marketing campaign by this company pushing their modern resume designs - so they just do famous / successful people who don't actually need resumes and their "ads" become viral.
What landed my job was not my knowledge, but my extreme motivation, luck and willingness to take 2 month unpaid internship. During the interview, the interviewer said he did not even look at my projects/github ( and all other interviews i did, no one looked at my projects) and asked me the questions you would find online for android interviews. Also i had a kick ass CV generated by these guys. https://enhancv.com/
Thank you!
And I used the paid version of : https://enhancv.com/
It's a pretty nice tool to customize your resume with clean template options.
Good luck on the internship search!
First, I think just a summary at the top which explains what you explained above, how you came to realize that engineering management is your passion.
Then, for trimming it a bit, I'd use the same technique I use when writing. Take each and every single bullet and ask yourself if it's adding value to your resume, is it telling something important to the person reading it. If it isn't, cut it.
Then, take each of your roles and consider what your overall experience was there, what did you learn, how did you grow. Once you know the narrative, look back at each bullet and think about how they can be re-written to contribute to that narrative.
I think this guy Eric Weissman has a resume which shows how effective that can be: https://enhancv.com/successful-resumes/eric-weissmann.html
To each his own. Goal is to make yours stand out. Colors do a better job popping out titles and sections. Look below for example.

Firstly - make your CV interesting to look at. Try Enhancv - here is a non-referral link https://enhancv.com/
Education history should read like this...
2020-2021 - School A-Level Business, English etc (predicted X.X)
What key things have you been exposed to with business - academic exposure to customer obsession and culture, business strategy and operations?
2018-2020 - School GCSEs - 9 4-9; highlight business etc. Ignore your poor scorers.
Cool - financial research is interesting. But It should not be at the forefront of your CV when you are focused on gaining low-level customer service experience. Lose the waffle - everyone hopes to be successful and financially comfortable. Do you really have an interest in borrowing/saving products - that is unique and also inefficient.
Employable qualities - lose it. Let your work evidence your ability. Be straight to the point - ambitious, motivated, flexible, curious, positive.... hard-working... team player... demonstrate these. Be direct in your heading - Actively looking for a .... role in .... alongside my A-level studies....
Just some pointers whilst I drink my coffee. If this helps - happy to keep going.
If I ask you to do a big thing (24/7 5m SLA on call with 3 other people), and you accept with no comp. I win.
If you push back. And I get you to accept a smaller thing (24/7 oncall with 1 hour SLA) for no comp, I still win. (Its a technique called a 'door in the face' https://enhancv.com/blog/8-persuasion-techniques-to-change-anyones-mind/)
If you say no, not until we decide how I am going to get paid for this non-negotiated work. Now, you can enter into a discussion about what your requirements are to be assigned this new task. And you have the option to say, 'no'. But be prepared for the blowback from an industry that sees the economic downturn as an opportunity to abuse workers.
What do you think of his experience? I've collected his background in a single resume:
I built my resume using EnhanCv’s free plan. Their templates look really good
Sorry I can't share that for privacy reasons, but happy to give advise, i mean i am a junior level so I am not sure how much advise I can give. But check out https://enhancv.com
I used their template to create one. It took me a few iterations in terms of wording, but got it down. Also i took it upon myself to learn Terraform, Ansible, Cloudformation, concepts of IAC and couple that with AWS and projects at work I was able "sell" myself. Although mind you I got plenty rejected for over a year until I eventually landed this...
I would recommend to remove the "knowledge of" at the end and give more an overview of your level through sliders or something.
You can have a look at https://enhancv.com/ to have some ideas
Also it would be good to make everything in one page as it seems there is a kind of emptiness feeling when looking at the pages.
>Baby is here , thank god.
>Ye lo : https://enhancv.com/resume-examples/famous/marissa-mayer/
>There are many cool templates and examples.
>Please ye link copy pasta karke baby tak pahochao
He didn't give credit in the video but definitely just used a resume generator (https://enhancv.com/). I recognized it immediately from the video thumb bc I used the same tool.
Do yourself a favor, don't listen to him talk, just use the free online tool that provides all the same tips plus style.
It's fantastic you're looking to prepare yourself for jobs going forward which is definitely what you want. Keep in mind, however, that most new graduate resumes I've seen will have their own visual identity so you'll want to be a step above your peers to truly resonate. One of the ways to do this is probably by serving a studio/employer above all else as a target audience when you make your logo/mark.
You'll find not doing anything too wild (creative, not silly/arbitrary) will leave a lasting impression. For example, stay away from popular resume tropes such as skill graphs that rate your Photoshop (no one knows what candidates think 9/10 Photoshop skill means). Ensure your resume can print through a black toner-based printer without bleeds and use that as a challenge, not a constraint.
More important than any logo I've come across on a resume: spell and grammar check the hell out of what you're sending a company. Have no less than 3 language-proficient individuals read it and run it through several digital software checks. It's 2020 and there's no excuse for errors - they make filtering candidates very easy and do far more damage than a logo ever will.
https://enhancv.com you should check this link out to make your resume more digestible and improve the overall look. I like my resumes design to stand out as PMs are often involved in the world of UX and UI. Think about those same principles when making your product aka your Resume!
Hey! I used EnhanceCV. It's an online editor that is super intuitive. Check it out here: https://enhancv.com?tap_a=18242-89af24&tap_s=626593-f1c8a9
What you will want to do is change to a career change resume. Also have your portfolio ready to go for when you go to interviews. For most positions like this, seeing is believing. Even if it is just work you produced in school, that’s fine. Also, to get your foot in the door, try non-profit organizations. They always have a limited budget, but it is something you can do a few years before moving a better paying job.
Here is a career change site that you will find helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. https://enhancv.com/blog/10-career-change-resume-tips-with-examples/
The first thing I would tell you is to drop your GPA. It will likely “nope” you to the bottom of the pile. Putting GPAs used to be standard, but it was determined that it causes a mental bias, so a decision was made at some point to transition to excluding it.
Next, given your previous work history, you would be better served to do a career change resume. Career Change Resumes
Feel free to ask any questions, as I am more than happy to help. 🤗
I created mine using enhancv.com; it had a general template for a modern resume that I really liked so I just modified it and tailored it to what was relevant for me and teaching. When you go to their website, it's the one they show off on the homepage.
I agree that skill bar graphs are unnecessary but I would also say that as a hiring manager an unconventional resume definitely stands out.
As an applicant, my hit rate when way up after using a resume I built with https://enhancv.com/.
EnhanceCV Very cool looking format
I'm coming up on a decade in tech. One thing that has worked well for me is putting in quality applications: tailoring the resume and cover letter to the position.
I'm a big fan of Enhancv (no affiliation). I've had multiple hiring managers tell me, "This is the best looking resume I've seen in a long time." Worth a shot.
It might be trendy but I'm inspired by Marissa Mayer's old resume and want to build something equally dynamic but am unsure of the best way to go about this.
Assuming PDF is the best format to ultimately submit to employers, what is the best tool to build such a PDF where my actual words/text is not converted into an image and remains visible to seo and crawlers from job sites?
Thanks!
To me, it looks the same as the most resumes people are using everywhere. If you look at Marissa Mayer resume example that Enhancv did, you can see that lots of information can be fit on a single page and the design is amazing :)
Here is one Network Engineer resume example - https://enhancv.com/resume-examples/engineering-resume-example
The format will help you be unique. It's two pages but in my opinion, the most important things can be easily fitted into a single page.
Hello, What you propose are really two products: - An online portfolio for designers, photographers, creatives, etc ... is a very competitive market already. I spent a year trying to get ahead https://worka.io and I assure you that the war to get traffic against crevado, smugmug, format and others is very hard and also you have to take into account myportfolio by Adobe, Wordpress templates, Wix, Squarespace .... crazy. - On the other hand is the option of "curriculums" more colorful than a profile at linkedin. There the market is more open since there are few platforms like https://enhancv.com, etc ... but I am not sure that it is a customer profile willing to pay for such a service, so you will be forced to search a business model about advertising or marketplace. To my way of thinking, too complex for a single person.
What do you think would be your differentiation with what currently exists in the market?
In any case it is only my opinion. Good luck with the project.
https://enhancv.com/ https://www.resumebeacon.com/ They have free options- Enhancv is more modern while Resumebeacom is more traditional. Resumes aren't one size fits all, so like other suggestions here, google resumes for the particular job, ie: Nurse Resume, Hotel Manager Resume, Laborer Resume, etc. see what is popular and what is working. I have multiple resumes focused on different fields, some have different info, others have different formats. Again Liz Ryan over at Forbes has amazing articles for job search and resume info. Cheers!
sorry thought you were making fun of gays. I didn't like that.
Combine the SB role to show you've made progression. Add the other job below your current SB role.
Add education, volunteer, projects, languages, interests. Give your resume life.
Use https://enhancv.com/ or any infographic site like Canva or Piktochart to make it look beautiful. They are free.
Delete your work exp - it does not relate at all
After education, include all courses related to your field. Include class projects.
Use https://enhancv.com/ and make it look beautiful and techy
Employer will know you have no experience. You should include a cover letter as well. Short and simple, bc you have no experience, like 1 paragraph. Google short CL's.
Use contacts to land your job. Click on the job recruiter's linkedin so they know you're looking into them. Even contact them ahead of time.
Good luck
