When I was an undergrad we got to hold interviews for our next RA and even we had to go through a bunch of training on what we were and were not allowed to ask. They heavily emphasized that we could not ask about whether the person/couple had kids or were planning on having kids. Interviewees are free to volunteer that information, but they cannot be asked that question as part of a job interview. If we, as undergrads, can be held to that standard and interview candidates knowing what cannot be asked, a freaking hiring manager damn well should too.
Heads up, the link you provided has your name in the title.
Otherwise…there’s a lot of work you need to do. The basic layout is fine, but you need to put some real descriptions for each job, put them in reverse chronological order (more recent jobs first), and remove the commas between the months and years. Not trying to sound mean, but just putting “stock shelves” and “assists customers” makes you sound a little lazy. You might be the hardest working person alive, but employers might perceive it another way.
Don’t copy these exactly—be creative and make your own—but these are some decent descriptions: https://zety.com/blog/retail-resume-example
Also, try to put descriptions that relate more to technology, troubleshooting, and customer service. Stocking shelves isn’t as much related to the customer service aspect of IT as being a cashier, right?
El diseño no, el orden de las cosas quizas. Lo que si importa mucho son las palabras clave.
Hay plantillas de CV que son ATS friendly, estas son las mas recomendables, asi te ahorras el trabajo de estar llenando application forms.
CV's are a bit different than a resume. Many people include both when applying for jobs. A CV goes into much more detail than a resume. https://zety.com/blog/cv-vs-resume-difference
Remember, if you are getting interviews then your resume is good enough. If the interviews are not leading to 2nd round interviews or job offers then you need to work on your behavioral interview skills.
I would suggest taking another pass on your site/resume. "Front End Development" can mean a lot of things. It looks like you specialize in WordPress development. This should be be prominent on the front page and resume. Add a blurb up top generalizing your experience and passions. Your years of experience should be highlighted somewhere as well as specific skills. If you follow a template (try https://zety.com/) it will help you get your resume up to snuff with content and formatting. Then you can take some of the content back and update your site with it. Don't be afraid to sell yourself!
You use computers either at work, in your studies or in your personal life.
At some point you will have learnt how to use a new bit of software, completed a project in Microsoft Office, figured out how to do something you couldn't before or taught someone else how to do something. Spreadsheets! Mention them.
A federal resume is like a civilian resume, except you are expounding upon everything you’ve done. As opposed to just writing you were a security guard at AUS from 2009-2019, you put
“Allied Universal: Security Guard Aug 1 2009-June 1 2019:”
And then you go in depth on your job duties and all that. You also go in depth on everything really, achievements, your summary of everything on your resume, etc.
I learned how to write mine through the transition courses when I was getting out of the Army but these 2 sites seem to be pretty good at explaining how to write one and there’s plenty of examples on google images.
https://gogovernment.org/writing-your-federal-resume/
https://zety.com/blog/federal-resume-example
Also, definitely get to writing a federal resume and uploading it and taking your regular resume off of USA Jobs. You might get some luck with some employers if you do apply for anything with one but most of time, most employers won’t accept it. Largely because a lot of employers use software to check all the resumes and then send off the best ones to employers.
Also if you are going to apply to, let’s say, a job at fort bliss as a guard, read everything on the job posting. Qualifications, requirements, etc. tailor your federal resume to that job posting with whatever experience you have.
If the job posting says they do access control at fort bliss, then put somewhere on your resume that you did access control as opposed to “check identification badges” or whatever. If the posting says that you’re required to know how to direct traffic or whatever, put somewhere on your resume that you’ve done traffic control or something.
I think you might want to consider going to your HR, bc the things your coworkers are saying is literally considered harassment.
Also, I understand that these specific employers are nice people, but I feel like you should know for the future that there are questions that the interviewer cannot legally ask you. (here)
First of all there’s so much white space - make use of columns etc
Add skills and proficiency. Lots of people don’t even read the resumes so they use automated software to look for keywords.
Do you know some programming since you did a CS degree? Put it in there! Operating systems? Types of network equipment you know etc etc
Finally a personal summary at the start of the resume so they can work out who you are
Hi, you should remove identifying information before posting resumes on reddit.
Apart from that, it's a really pretty resume but as others have suggested, go for a regular text-only version so that computers can read it. Check out the default formats in Microsoft Word and Google Docs (Personal -> Template) as a start, and maybe get inspiration from those at zety.com.
I would also suggest keeping this version as a short online portfolio, so add it to your website as a downloadable pdf under a new "CV" or "Portfolio" tab at the top right corner. That way someone interested in your work can click it to get a quick summary. Note that it is unreadable without magnifying to full size.
Regular resume suggestions for your text-only resume: Don't leave too much white-space, instead make the font bigger. Try starting each sentence with a verb. Usually, the current job is in the present tense and previous ones would be in the past tense. Ex: "Designed and created..." instead of "I designed and created...". Also, I was also told not to rate my own skills on my resume, but that is fine in my field (software/IT) and might not work in yours.
I also suggest putting the description of your duties on the next line consistently instead of starting text when the bold heading of your job location and month ends.
There are a few websites that'll give you free resume critique after passing it through their ATS system. I tried one called topcv.co.uk and their comments were pretty useful. They do end up spamming me some emails occasionally to ask if I want their paid service though. You might want to check it out for a professional opinion for free.
Hang in there dude it will come, if your looking for cv or cover letter tips check out https://zety.com/blog/resume-writing I found the site really useful and full of great templates.
I find this website helps me craft answers. https://zety.com/blog/teacher-interview-questions
Try to think of three-four really good questions to ask them at the end. Research the school in question if you can, or the community. Also perhaps recall two-three stories where you resolved delicate conflicts at work, or while volunteering. You may deal with parents and diplomacy is key.
Also, it is good to know about recent events and how you might include indigenous perspectives, but also show tact. As you are a letter of permission candidate, mention that you seek colleagues' advice, that you are proactive about asking for help if you need it. For instance, for report cards, having enough assessments, etc.
Show passion!!! if you want the gig! :) good luck
That's because there is a certain format resumes need to have in order to be ingested by the system. You want one that is built on the ATS framework.
I don't know who the hell these people are and aren't endorsing them but they explain it pretty well: https://zety.com/blog/ats-resume
I never knew that, how weird. I googled it and found this surprisingly long article/blogpost about it. Turns out all three spellings are correct, but two accents is most accurate to the original French, and no accents is most accurate for English. Especially weird because my vote would’ve been for the one accent over the last e.
Personally, this seems a lot more serious than a "white" lie. I think many people would see this as a red flag. I remember Yahoo firing their CEO for lying on his resume about his cs degree in 2012.
That said, this isn't the end of the world and everyone makes mistakes. While I don't have any suggestions on your current situation here is a link on how to list an unfinished degree on your resume for the future.
for a restaurant gig they're probably looking for generic soft skills like 'communicate well with customers' I just googled and found this list but give it a read through and find anything that would work well for the restaurant.
​
I've got a couple of ideas:
Have you considered going back to school? You're young and if you can take out the loans and do a part time gig while studying, this is ideal. Engineering or computer science. If you have the mental capacity for these degrees, do it, get the prerequisites done at a community college, take the boards, and do it. Go this path if you are ambitious.
If school's too much, then put those certifications front and friggin center. It should go A+ cert, that other cert you've got and the CCNA in progress. Then maybe a sentence or two before or after that saying, "Aspiring Information Professional looking to blah blah blah in the field of blah blah"
The thing is that you don't have any experience, so you can waste time on your resume telling people you dropped out of law school and like dodgeball. That's cool though, half the people on this subreddit are fuck ups who pieced it together, got into IT and succeeded.
Check out this website that shows how you can put in kinda bullshit stuff instead of listing your experience (which you don't have) https://zety.com/blog/entry-level-resume-example
As a career advisor, I agree with some of this! However, I have a few things to add/change:
Rather than an objective statement, you may consider a summary statement. See this as an example: https://zety.com/blog/resume-summary
Once you leave undergrad, you should put your education at the bottom—unless it’s specifically a research or academic position. Your education is merely something to qualify for the job. But it doesn’t highlight what you can specifically do for the org.
Also, unless an app specifically asks for your GPA, it’s recommended to remove it entirely. You will see research positions, consulting positions, etc that do require your GPA.
The order I recommend is 1) professional summary (if you choose to have one), 2) work experience, 3) skills that you have that are mentioned in the job ad/org website, 4) projects, 5) education, and potentially 6) relevant professional orgs to which you belong/relevant volunteer experience.
Consider using stronger action verbs for each bullet. You can find action verb lists for resume through a simple Google search.
I don’t know the job description, but make sure every bullet that you have speaks to the job description (what you’ve done/can off the position). Prioritize the bullets by what the job description seems to highlight the most.
Just to reiterate with the skills section, include the skills that you have that are specifically mentioned in the job description.
Not sure if this part is blocked out, but you want to include the location for every place you did your projects/work experience.
Based on your projects, it seems like you have a lot more work experience than you include.
Best of luck!
I recommend checking out RatRaceRebellion, WAHM and job sites like Careerbuilder, Indeed, etc (https://zety.com/blog/best-job-search-sites). Is your car too run down to make deliveries? Are there any delivery options in your area (i.e. Door Dash, Instacart, Amazon, etc.)? If so, they're paying nicely going into the holidays. If you can pull together enough money to rent a van for a U-Haul van for a few days, you could make money with delivery if your car isn't good enough.
Soft Skills and does not know how to network. Learn to network, make contact with people, exchange information, keep in contact with them, every now and then reach out to them and say "Hey, how are you doing". Networking with the right people will get you a job quicker than anything else.
Next big one is get a professional resume made if your going submit applications to every job. When you submit an application nowadays, not only are you competing against 100's of people applying for the same job but your competing against an software application known as ATS. The ATS kicks out a majority of the resumes, leaving only a handful left.
See if there's an American Job Center or Career Center in your area. They can help you prepare for the job search. Have her go on zety.com and build a resume, they offer pre-written sentences for different job titles and it's pretty user friendly. It's a paid service but if you can finesse the system, you can still use the resume builder, you just won't be able to download a copy, if that makes sense.
Have her brainstorm some skills she's good at, and write down accomplishments she's had at previous jobs. Look up How To Interview videos and practice the questions with her. She mostly needs to build confidence and trust in herself and her abilities. It's scary to put ourselves out there, but we have a lot to offer in this world. Make sure she takes breaks from applying to jobs too, cause those assessments will be long and tedious lol. Give her a foot and scalp massage to calm her if she's into that, or anything you know will help her relax.
For a basic resume, I would use this site, which will help you know what to put where, and how to word it;
https://zety.com/blog/high-school-graduate-resume-example
This link includes templates, and when you click one of the templates, it will help you create the resume;
Just had my second interview and director gave me a solid honest answer to that question, "former employees husband just got out of the military and she moved to Japan with him for a job he got job there."
Actually the guy over all was just really upfront about their problems and issues. My favorite line was "we expect people to work 9-5 and go home. We are not a work hard play hard company. We are a get the work done and go home company."
I really hope hope i get the job
Edit props to this website for giving me some banger questions to ask
https://zety.com/blog/questions-to-ask-an-interviewer.
I didnt ask all of them but thebknes i did ask i needed to ask.
Take a look here: https://zety.com/blog/resume-templates-word
You can make a kind of side bar that can contain some info like education and personal details. Some people say not to use these templates but I don't know why. I thi k they look great and can be customised nicely.
https://zety.com/blog/illegal-interview-questions
It is illegal for employers to ask sexual orientation or gender identity. Possible employers ask a lot of questions that aren’t really legal and have no impact on the job itself.
Why do you expect me to offer proof when you offer none. I guess you missed it in my last comment so Ill give you all the proof you need.
Honestly I think it looks really good! Just a few small things I noticed
- You use the introduce the "FEA" acronym at the bottom of the second page despite using "Finite Element Analysis" several times before then.
- What is CAE? What is OTD?
- When referring to Lean manufacturing I would always capitalize Lean.
- Quantifiables are great to have. How much did you reduce mass? How much more efficient did things run?
- What mechanical testing? I would be more specific, i.e. tensile, Instron, etc.
- I like a good summary at the beginning of a resume, especially since your's is 2 pages long (not knocking the length, you use it well).
This is fairly normal for a new college graduate. Try not to think in terms of job experience but other experience you have from school, volunteering, extra curriculara, etc. If you Google a few examples of resumes without job experience it will give you some things to start with, linked below for reference. Finally, employers hire people without experience all the time so stick with it! Highlight what skills and attitudes you have to bring to a job and don't get down on yourself, you may get 10 no's before you get a yes, sadly that's just the job market right now.
All projects have challenges. If you dont have metrics then describe the project in Situation, Action, Result (SAR) format, with emphasis on results. For example, have a look at this example. You can look at the linkedin profiles of similar people for reference.
As shown in the example, have a small section at top which describes who you are. You can call it your personal value statement. It will set the tone for the reader, otherwise, s/he will keep on guessing who you are. CV is your advertisement not your biography.
So work on the content and dont think too much about CV format, fonts and heading size or the content of cover letters. In my 15 years of working and interviewing, I have never fully read a cover letter.
May be the HR person would like to read it but most people dont.
I don't see 90% of all applications now. We get between 200 - 500 applications for each job now. You think Phyllis in Personnel is reading all that?
Taleo/Workday/Brass Ring/iCISM are no longer your Mama's keyword scanners.
> Maybe I’m underestimating what you mean by summary of qualifications statement.
One thing I'd add especially for entry level is an objective section to explain what kind of job you are looking for especially since your experience doesn't match the job you are currently applying for. It is good to tell people looking at your resume what you are looking for.
Here is a good article on them with examples. https://zety.com/blog/resume-objective
Do you have anyone you can talk to to practice with or get advice? If not, I would recommend looking up questions on the internet and write them down with your answer. Be prepared to answer a question like, where do you see yourself in 5years? I totally failed at that one because I didn’t think ahead on that one. 😩 I would also recommend having one or two questions ready to ask them. Here is a link that my boss gave me. https://zety.com/blog/questions-to-ask-an-interviewer
I just interviewed for a job I really want that would be easier on my BPD and anxiety and its so hard to wait for their answer. I really want this job but I have no idea how I did compared to the other interviewees.
Do not tell them about your mental health. It’s not their business. If something like a panic attack happens after you are hired then you can tell them that you have anxiety sometimes.
I wish you all the best in your job search!
- Your template is a little too minamalist. It's looks very simple and empty, which is the opposite of how you want to present yourself. Take a look at templates here. These are a bit more professional and will help your resume look better
- For your summary it is a bit too broad and doesn't give enough information. You're a 10-year professional. Ok, but in what? Be specific for what field/industry. Don't list the lows and highs of positions you've held. Simply list the skills/tools/industries that you are proficient in. Here's a good resource on how to write an effective resume summary
- Your skills section should be near the top of your resume, not at the bottom where it could get lost
- Provide context for your certification. What year did you get them? What are there, i.e. define them in 1 line?
- For your degree make sure you write it out fully, i.e. Bachelor of Science, Business Management
- List the degree you attempted at Louisiana Tech. "3-Year Study" looks awkward
- You have far too many attributes. Instead of listing them try to work them into your summary but only choose a handful
- Where's your work experience? You should have a section with subpoints with each of the jobs you had. I.e. Job Title - Company - Time Period Worked - Information about what you did there (if you need reference on how to do this section look up resume templates)
Depends, I keep my resume pretty standard, but will cut down some areas depending on the posting. I will ensure that I have everything that is mentioned in the posting be in the resume.
I will definitely address the job posting in the cover letter.
Recruiters have very limited time and need to know very quickly if you match the job spec. At the moment i have to really spend time to read and understand if you have the skills for e.g. a BA role.
What has worked well for me is to include a skills and experience summary at the top of the resume. Basically the skills and experiences which i have by proficiency. The following has a similar approach which works well.
https://zety.com/blog/business-analyst-resume
​
In short, update the format and change it so that a recruiter can quickly decide that you match the spec. You could test this by creating 2-3 versions and sending them out to different recruiters to see which one works well.
Honestly, it looks boring to look at. You have to grab the attention of the recruiter. I have never used a CV for job applications but it might be different where you live. A lot of people already gave great advice but I would say to liven it up a bit. Make it look exciting to look at. My resume is similar to the one on the blog. Only difference is my name is across the page with the job I am applying for is sub-fonted underneath it. My boss said it was one of the best one page resume he has seen. ( I was applying for System Administration job.)
Hey there!
I would move skills to the top and put the education on the bottom since you have graduated.
Remove the certification section- that is usually reserved for commercial, official certifications like Security +.
The “Activities” section contains good skills that should be expounded upon, and I would actually change the heading to something else if you weren’t paid. Was this an internship? Maybe change the heading to “Projects”? Also, include the skills you use or have learned in managing the newsletter. Did you write anything for it? Create graphics for it? A lot of good stuff there!
You have some really great, desirable skills that are not very well highlighted. Moving the skills section up top will help, but also qualify your language skills. Or, follow the guidance govern here: https://zety.com/blog/resume-language-skills
Try reformatting and rewriting some things and then repost for some more suggestion. Good luck!
Here is another button on the same website, on their contact page.
This button has no onclick property, yet still works. The page's JavaScript added an EventListener instead. The HTML code is uncluttered this way.
>With JavaScript, the developer can use addEventListener to make the button clickable without throwing bunches of arbitrary code into the HTML document. That's just one way this can be achieved without putting JS directly onto the element.
There's nothing there lol, I'm a developer. It's Zety.com was using it for a quick resume builder.
Has your lawyer given you any advice on how to document his neglect and abuse to help the custody case and help you with resources?
Have you consulted with a DV org on if they can offer any resources (like looking over your resume/helping you build a resume)? I know it's made trickier by him claiming abuse, but if you call and explain your situation to them, do they have any resources for you?
There's lots of advertising interspersed throughout, but there's some really good tips on this website for how to build your resume as SAHM looking to (re)enter the workforce. As a SAHM, I bet you did a lot you can brag about on your resume, even within the confines your ex trapped you in! You just have to be willing to brag about yourself (that's where I hit trouble, so I feel you if this is a struggle). Not everything you did is "just stuff everyone could do", trust me. Value yourself and what you've managed! There's lots of sites out there to help you build your resume. Here's some more general tips to get you thinking. There's lists out there that help suggest strong, action words to use. And if you google, there's toooons of formatting examples you can be inspired by.
Best of luck to you and your son!!! You got this. You already got a job, even after all the bullshit you've been through. You're doing amazing.
I'm going to be playing devils advocate here
Love the idea, website looks clean but few comments I have are:
- I feel like there are alot of these websites already. Zety.com is what I've used before. Given your pricing structure I feel like its going to be hard to compete with an established website. Are you looking to create a resume builder similar to what is existing or are you looking to expand and make incremental improvements to resume building thru new features and/or automation?
- I think there needs to be more templates or examples, although the one you have looks great, in my opinion it doesn't have that WOW factor.
- I have some thoughts on how you can make the with website bit more unique to increase the business case and value proposition. PM me if you are interested in hearing about the ideas.
Well, I mean you can really use any template that fits what you want but also you want to be a designer, right? Design that shit to be what you want - something simple that suits what you can show. Start by just throwing your name on the top left of an ai file, start building from there. you can find some simple ideas here: https://zety.com/blog/minimalist-resume-templates (granted some of these of are "simple" that they really arent)
My role model would have to be my dad. My career choice and things I've learned in the computer field are because of him.
My mentor would be my uncle. I worked with his lawn care services. He taught me how to have a good work ethic, and how important it is to have initiative.
You could say i got my hard skills and soft skills from both. My hard skills from my dad, and my soft skills from my uncle.
Some nice templates are available on Zety ( https://zety.com/uk/cv-templates ) - good for ideas and quite easy to replicate on Word. Some of their templates can also be directly created for free using their platform I think
Recently after speaking with an IT recruiter I've rewritten my one-page resume to be 2 pages. My old resume got me a good number of interview.
Any suggestions on how I can change/improve my resume. Ideally I would like to make it fit on a single page. I've tried some zety templates just to see how it'll look, but the majority of those use two columns and a bunch of graphics, which might cause issues with ATS. The results are messy anyway.
Please take this serious but not to heart Tbh: I absolutely would not hire this resume. Your descriptions sound basic, general, and downplay any validity to what great work you might have done. I highly recommend using the wiki page, r/YouTube, r/Indeed, or any valid career site that has example resumes or a resume builder (see link). Using ATS/Keyword programs, check to make sure you are at a 80% or higher for a specific job description you’re interested in.
Than..
Seek a resume/job coach. Your local unemployment office has a workforce development program and they offer classes and individual counseling until you find a living wage for local COA. Also, your Alumni should offer alumni career services-hold them accountable!
Than..
Repost
I think you got solid advice from the other comment, but will just add a few things:
I think it may help pare down your work experience section if you took out the repetitive and basic office skills by moving through to a ‘skills section’ or a ‘summary of qualifications’ up at the top.
This would then allow you to focus on the details of the impact you had at the office, written das suggested by the other comments (100% agree with them).
Reword your bullets with action verbs that show the collaboration and responsibility you are trying to highlight. Right now you are a bit vague with words like ‘interfaces’ and “schedules all appointments..”. I feel like you can reword/ add to these to show your impact of your role in the office a bit more. Adding words like “independently scheduled” might make your work stand out more.
Here is an example of a medical office resume that may be helpful to spur some thoughts as to what you could add to yours:
https://zety.com/blog/medical-receptionist-resume-example
Here is an article with action verbs broken down by what you accomplished that may be helpful:
I've been applying for jobs for a couple weeks now with little success but I updated my CV with https://zety.com/ and its so much better, I would definitely recommend trying it out. It's free to build your cv but costs like $3 to download a copy. It also helps with cover letters.
the website’s automatic resume builder isn’t free but you can easily get free ones just googling. You can also google what questions to expect from a specific internship interview. Make sure to spend just as much time on behavioral interview questions as you do on job specific ones.
You should try this:

You are down the rabbit hole. Good luck
Sure dude! And no I don't mind at all! Keep in my mind I have no idea how other people's resumes look and really have no idea what I'm doing lol. Also I used this completely stupid resume template site called zety.com and actually paid for the service... Honestly don't recommend it. It just crowds the space on my resume and I had major issues editing it and redownloading it over and over again...
I just edited my resume but how do I send it to you over reddit?
Additional conflicting sources:
“What tends to happen in these experiments is that the applications with male names get more responses than those with female names.” (NB except for music)
“when evaluating identical resumes, scientists may be significantly less likely to agree to mentor, offer jobs, or recommend equal salaries to a candidate if the name at the top of the resume is Jennifer, rather than John.”
- https://gender.stanford.edu/news-publications/gender-news/why-does-john-get-stem-job-rather-jennifer
“Our carefully chosen gender-neutral name, Casey Smith, was less likely (80 percent) to merit a call than applicants with female names (82 percent) or male names (84 percent).”
It's actually more complicated than people think.

People of the opposite gender of the hiring manager generally do better according to this research. People with unknown gender do the worst in both cases.
Hmmm, okay I found a site that would be useful! The section on “if you didn’t graduate” is 3/4ths the way down. He explains the thought process behind it. https://zety.com/blog/unfinished-college-on-resume
If the skills learned at your college don’t apply to the job you are applying for, leave the college off. If the skills do, you pretty much have 3 options:
1:
University of Colorado Denver, CO
2:
University of Colorado (2016-2018) Denver, CO Completed 25 credits towards a BA in Business
3:
University of Colorado (2016-2018) Denver, CO Completed courses: Architectural History and Urbanism, Construction Practices, Building Systems, Theory of Structures.
EDIT: I don’t know how to make line breaks in here for all the options 😩
A resume is a one- to two-page document presenting key facts about your professional experience, educational background, and skills. A CV (Curriculum Vitae) is a longer document that details the whole course of your career. A resume is used for job search, a CV—for academic purposes. Source
I understand what you are saying, but I'm having a hard time visualizing what you mean by 'ATS friendly.' Do you mean something that looks like this? This company actually did ask for interests and hobbies though, which is why I included them.

Are you even sure it's the race?
How many books have you come across in the book store? How many of those book titles have you read part way through before moving on to the next?
If your uni has those career fairs, those would be the best place to start. These companies are out to look for potential freshies to hire.
Due to COVID, many of them would resort to virtual career fairs. Check with your career advisor.
What kind of practical work are you doing? If it's related to your course, do put that in your resume, it'll help boost your image.
Preparing your resume is also really important, as it'll be the first thing they see. Always adjust your resume based on the position and company you're applying for, and put in keywords based on the roles and responsibilities that they put in the job posting. Recruiters only take about 15-30 seconds to look at 1 resume.
For a fresh graduate, I'd put a maximum of 2 pages. Include a cover letter if needed.
You can take a look at Zety. I used their platform to help create my resume, it helped land me a lot of interviews and got me into my new job :).
Applying to jobs sucks balls. The average candidate sends about 100-200 applications before getting a job.
I made a platform im calling Occuply which helps you apply faster, by aggregating questions across applications into one. If you’re interested just DM me your username and I’ll up your number of credits for free.

Sure, and looking at the top 3 relevant sources (the third post is an unrelated quora), 2 of them use the same CWLP survey which, as we have already established, does not support your conclusion.
Looking at the third one (https://zety.com/blog/sleeping-with-the-boss), there are findings that are even more detrimental to your argument. The study found that people sleep with their boss looking to get a raise, promotion, bonus, etc. at a rate of <3% (11-12% of 27-28%). What is even more interesting, and more damning for your argument, is that of the 11-12% of people that have slept with their boss, men were "twice as likely than women to sleep with their boss with the hope that it would eventually lead to a promotion."
So not only did the first article found in your google search not support your argument, the next result used the same exact survey, and the third result literally made a counterargument against YOUR claim for me. Read your sources before you cite them bud.
Yeah, I wasn't sure if there were part time jobs in those options but they're good options for introverts.
Hey, our local car wash has teens working there and we don't interact with them. They do the pre-wash rinse on the car then get it going through the wash tunnel.
I've also seen teens working for the city/county in places like the rec center and golf courses. Try checking your city or county hiring site to see what teen options they have.
I found this useful article online that may help. It even has info on how to find online jobs if you're interested. https://zety.com/blog/jobs-for-teens
You mean where to start preparing it? I built my original one on MS Word with basic formatting and now I tweak the same skeleton by adding new experience/skills to it. IIRC, both MS Word and Apple Pages even have a few templates for building one. I just basically did a total dump of information in a separate doc and then sifted through it to find out relevant stuff to put in the CV. This kind of separate doc is especially useful when you are new and want to tweak things as per the internship/job requirement by adding role specific points from time to time. You can PM me a link to your CV if you like when you are done creating it.
There are also a few websites which provide free MS Word templates to help you fill in the blank sections. Here are a few options - 1, 2, 3.
Your second paragraph completely disregards the fact that women and men, not all, have different communication skills and “not being as assertive” isn’t an excuse for not getting fair raises and compensation for hard work. Men take fewer days off and don’t take an many paternity leave days because the gender roles in our society still have a lot of women being the primary caretaker. Further, the impacts of women’s bodies means they must take off more time. You can’t simple “account” for this - there should be a systematic change in our labor laws.
Secondly, women in “male” jobs still earn around 80-84% of men. A lot of recent articles try to explain away this difference because of the type of jobs men and women choose. But, you have to take into account, once again why are “female” jobs valued less than “male” jobs? So the issue isn’t intentional discrimination, it’s a societal issue.
I can tell you from personal experience - at least 3 times men have applied for my current job at the time with the exact same degree from same school and same years of experience or LESS and have been offered more. Moreover, look at the studies (1, 2, 3) about how the perceived gender of an applicant on their resume changes the offer. You can’t deny internal biases and social discrimination. I’m pretty shocked at the downvotes.
Backup in case something happens to the post:
Title: Baby boomers don't hate younger generations or get offended by "Ok boomer" as much people say, and aren't as conservative as people say
Text of the post: In an ipsos poll, they asked baby boomers, Generation X, and millennials their opinion on younger generations. Unfortunately I cannot find information on how many had negative or neutral opinions on younger generations, just how many had positive opinions. 40% of boomers had a positive opinion of younger generations, which is a good amount, and only 42% of millennials had a positive opinion on younger generations, which isn't different from boomers, while only 37% of Generation X had a positive opinion of younger generations. Some millennials and young people actually do have some negative opinions of their own generation. In 2014, 71% of 18-29 year olds said they consider their age group selfish and 58% considered their age group entitled. [People were asked in a survey their opinion on the phrase "Ok boomer"](https://zety.com/blog/ok-...
Okay, so after a little digging, you can list relevant course work to the job. Here is a link on how to do this. As you can see, these examples all include the degree obtained. If there is a way to complete your degree, this will make you more hireable. If not, you can still list classes you took that would help with the job. List projects you worked on and how you did.
No need to pay me. I legit downloaded it from https://zety.com/cover-letter-templates
There might be one there that fits you best. In mine I did an introductory paragraph, a work history, a run-down of skills (some that I exaggerated), and a quick follow up:
"In addition to my work with [field of employment], I have been in [sell what you're good at] in a variety of my previously held positions in [your industry].
I have a track record of excelling in team work. I have time-management skills, interpersonal skills, and I work well under pressure. I have a heavy background in [get creative with skills here] and I am very detail-oriented. I feel like I would be the perfect fit for this position.
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you further about my qualifications.
Best regards,
[your name]"
I share your pain about not being able to do much about your situation. You're probably right about entry level jobs not wanting to help you with the move. Not having a car complicates things for sure. Do you live close to transit? Or do you get rides to work?
You might also be able to look into medical writing or medical transcription, especially since your degree is in kinesiology. Both of those pay pretty well. Or you can try to do it on the side to earn a little extra income. I've written things here and there to try and get a few more bucks in my pocket.
I can't specifically say for the VA but I've had about 4 or 5 different interviews over the last few years, some for federal jobs and some not. I'd say the STAR interviewing method is the most useful thing to look into before an interview and plenty of the types of questions/examples were used in my federal interviews.
In addition to that, just the obvious knowing what's on your resume, understanding the job/responsibilities you're applying for, and knowing how to relate the two. I've also come to realize how important it is to not only answer questions, but also "selling yourself" to them, explain why you'd be a good fit.
Last but not least, my goal is to always fine a way to relate my interviewer to someone I already know, find something similar about them. If you can get in the mindset that they're a friend or at least a friendly person, it'll help you relax a bit more. That has always helped for me.
I look at a lot of CV's, I'd recommend you get a minimalistic one, use lots of negative (white space), make nice clean lists and don't worry about spilling over one page. Stay away from baroque fonts like the caps you are using.Here is the first hit on google, any one of these would serve you better: https://zety.com/cv-templates
Also your career objective is not an objective and the grammar is terrible.
Are you also familiar with horizontal drilling? Maybe try sending CV to Directional Molling Services, lots of work in telecoms now.
Hey friend, here's some links that you may find helpful. If you'd like someone to review your resume once you're done, let me know and I'd be happy to take a look :)

What do like about working for (company)? What would you change?
What do the day-to-day responsibilities of the role look like?
Are there opportunities for professional development? If so, what do those look like?
What does success look like in this position, and how do you measure it?
Also here's more. Legends say if you ask all 65 without notes or the interviewer leaving you get to be the CEO
Pm me, you can use me for a reference for anything you need, I’m good for it 💜.
Side note, it’s good to put that you’re outgoing, a team player, if you’re a good Typer I would put my WPM on it. I also would 100% recommend going to this site, it has some decent ideas and it helped me get my last job!
Stream of consciousness thoughts:
- You use up a lot of real estate to describe the job itself, and the general responsibilities. See if you can instead use those details in bullets about your accomplishments. E.g. "Work in scrum... prioritize backlog" --> "Delivered MVP read receipt project by leading Agile team consisting of four developers and owning the backlog of features."
- Small thing, but each sentence should begin in the same tense. First bullet "Designed" so next bullet should be "Delivered"
- If one of your bullets in a resume ends in a period, all of them should
- Some of your bullets include specific results/outcomes, but others are too vague. Avoid terms like "Worked efficiently" and instead say "partnered" but really focus on your actions and the result. Less on how you would describe it verbally at a party.
- Consider adding a section at the top about what you're looking for. There, you can be slightly more narrative oriented. Think about what you'd write on LinkedIn about yourself in that "about me" section. That can go up top along with the key results you want to highlight. More, general info here: https://zety.com/blog/resume-header
- Consider adding the cities you've worked in for each of those jobs
Overall, when I was hiring for junior product managers, I would have found your resume interesting enough to make a call to you. But with some of the above changes, I'd be really excited to call you. LMK if that all makes sense. Happy to help more in the future.
Not a direct correlation, but job seekers versus available jobs is a good indicator of what the job market actually means. More people applying for fewer jobs does not mean "full employment."
In a report from last week Glassdoor says:
>On average, each corporate job offer attracts 250 resumes. Of those candidates, 4 to 6 will get called for an interview, and only one will get the job.
If there were decent jobs available for everyone seeking one there would be far fewer applicants per job, and companies would have to actually increase pay to get workers. You don't have to increase pay if you have 250 people applying for each job.
Hast du dich nur Lokal beworben oder Deutschlandweit?
Genaues Studienfach wäre schon interessant, da MINT zu weitläufig ist (Informatiker bekommen praktisch einen Job mit einem Fingerschnips - selbst mit 3,0); Physiker dagegen kaum).
Ich würde auch probieren den Lebenslauf nicht "Standard" aussehen zu lassen. Zb an sowas Orientieren https://zety.com/cv-templates (gibt auch viele andere Anbieter).
Dein Alter ist eher ein Vorteil als ein Nachteil, da bist du im idealen Bereich.
​
Ich empfehle sehr große Jobmessen. Oft wird dort auch ein Check der Unterlagen angeboten.
If I were you I would either have a very detailed list of technical skills and college coursework or no resume at all.
See examples here:
https://zety.com/blog/resume-with-no-work-experience
Does your college have a career services office. I would start there for resume / job search advice.
Do you have an online portfolio, github, etc.? Sometimes those are as important as a resume.
For entry-level CS I'm guessing tech support / help desk might work. Maybe post something on on subs like r/cscareers r/cscareeerquestions or r/ITCareerQuestions.
STAR behavioral interview covering experience, teamwork, ability to work with different people. This page is kinda death by ads, but the strategy for STAR and the types of questions seem correct. https://zety.com/blog/star-method-interview
If you know latex you can use Awesome-CV.
If you don't know latex, that format is still quite easy to copy manually in word or even google docs.
There's also the online zety resume builder. But there might be some over-complicated templates in there that aren't ats friendly, so choose wisely.
https://zety.com/cover-letter-builder I love this website. You answer some questions about your current position/ history, and they make you a cover letter. At the end it will try to make you pay to download it, just copy as plain text and paste into word or docs or whatever you use, and fix up the formatting a little.
I don’t have any specific comments at this point, but I found this guide helpful for data science resumes: https://zety.com/blog/data-scientist-resume-example
I also recommend looking at Harvard’s resume guide. The big take away are specific action verbs. They have a list of recommendations.
Good luck!
Combine your technology and skills section. Be more specific with your skillset. What makes you stand out? Most employers assume you know how to navigate Microsoft Suite these days. Move education section under profile /professional summary. Change the profile header to the actual job you are applying to. Tailor to fit each job. Switch the job title and company. You want your job title to appear first. You can bold the title if you wish. Also, change the job dates to actual dates. June 2017 - August 2017. I'm on mobile and the body of your descriptions are italic. If that's the case do not italicize.
I would read this article:
Federal resumes are VERY different. A normal resume is about 1 - 2 pages, a federal one can easily be 6 pages. Put every dumb detail you can think of. Here's a helpful guide: https://zety.com/blog/federal-resume-example
If you were to look at applying to STEM jobs only, it does hurt chances at getting an interview with a traditionally feminine sounding name. here’s a study on a woman switching her name on her resume and getting more responses. Another on how gender can affect resumes
Visual format sounds interesting. I found some examples at https://zety.com/blog/open-office-resume-template, however, I wonder if any of them are too visually formatted.
How do you think of them? Thanks in advance!
I come from a non-CS background and currently work at a SV company. All I can tell you is that, at least in my case - experience and projects matter on a resume. In that order. If HR can make that happen, I'd do it, but "worth it" kind of depends on if you're a self-starter or not. There doesn't seem to be any shortcut to getting good at programming other than just doing it and that doesn't require a bootcamp.
Java is a good choice because it's not going away anytime soon from what I've seen. I would go all out and learn JavaScript to cast the widest possible net. Know a scripting language like Ruby or Python, though that's last priority.
For better or for worse, I think there's stigma when it comes to bootcamps so you better be planning on having some outstanding projects completed.
Other than that, be presentable. Be knowledgeable. The nice thing about this industry is that it is a meritocracy to some degree - something that can't be said about a lot of other fields. Be careful not to end up as some of the jaded posters here who send out a thousand resumes without a single call back. Make sure to get help building that. (I had luck with https://zety.com/)
Getting a foot in the door may be tougher than it used to be but it's not hell on a stick unless you are aiming at FAANG.
Which, by the way - why?
At the moment I'd want nothing better than to escape the office politics nonsense, find a comparable remote gig and stockpile money while living somewhere people go to once a year to vacation. You might be thinking what matters is prestige and $200k while living in the Valley shelling out $3k for rent. I'm of the opinion what matters is freedom. But to each their own I guess.
According to this random-ass blog I found, the average job receives roughly 50 applicants.
That means that you need to basically pay a total of a bit shy of 10-grand for each position you want to fill. Not to mention the time investment. 50 applicants, two days each, you're gonna spend a chunk of your year doing something that used to take a week.
It's just not feasible.
You need to rethink your approach. Even back when people went door to door to hand out resumes, employers hated "blanket" resumes. When I saw somebody come into a retail store I use to manage and hand me a resume off of the stack of copies, I wouldn't even look because I knew it wasn't tailored and that person was being lazy.
Now, companies use software to match keywords from the help wanted ad they created to the best possible candidate. If you don't tailor your resume and understand the keywords that will put eyes on it, there is a good chance no human ever looks at it.
This site does an okay job explaining what I mean. Third section. Just don't fall for the resume builder ads sprinkled throughout. https://zety.com/blog/java-developer-resume-example
hi there! Your Resume is not bad. I would like to give a few tips however;
- Write a Professional Summary or Profile at the top of the Resume. You can get examples off Google or Zety.com etc.
- The Header for Scholarships could be changed to Awards/Honors (sounds better)
- Changed your header about the University at the top. It doesn't flow very well and could cause employer discrimination. Instead say which job you are going for such as "Engineering Professional" for example.
- Combine the qualifications section and additional skills. There is no need for two separate sections.
OK, that's all I can think of for now. If you still need more tips or help with your Resume please message me. I also welcome your feedback on my critique. Thank you and have a great day!
I used https://zety.com recently and really liked it. Might be a good example to reference for possible features. I appreciated that I just had to put my information in inputs. Then I could pick from various templates without having to worry about formatting.
Hi. I work for Liberty. They are big on STAR interview methods. They care less about your accomplishments and care more about how you achieve them. No one cares that you process X amount more week than your coworkers they want to know HOW you were more successful, etc.
Here's a good read on Star behavioral interview questions. Good luck, I know people who are inside prop adjusters. Prepare yourself. Its a lot of work.
Ring eller gå personligen till arbetsplatser som du är intresserade av att arbeta på. Att maila eller fylla i ett formulär leder sällan till jobb, för arbetsgivare vet att endast lata personer som inte vill ha ett jobb söker på detta sätt för att uppfylla Arbetsförmedlingens krav. Byggbranschen skriker efter arbetare, och då finns det ingen tid för att sitta och gå igenom en massa ansökningar. Om byggnationerna i Bräcke står still, hur ser det ut i större kommuner i närheten? Exempelvis Sundsvall och Östersund? Har du testat att söka jobb där?
Att anmäla dig till bemanningsenheten i Bräcke borde ge dig garanterat vik i alla fall, men då får du räkna med att jobba på förskolor och/eller inom vården.
Sen så tycker jag att du har ett väldigt tråkigt CV. Har du inte fått hjälp med att skriva CV på Arbetsförmedlingen? CV:n som sticker ut designmässigt fångar fler ögon, och ökar dina chanser till att bli kallad till en intervju.
Här har du några sidor för inspiration och hjälp för att skapa ett nytt CV som inte ser ut som en skolmatsedel.
https://zety.com/cv-templates#1
- Some of your "SKILLS" are better discussed in a Summary about yourself at the top of the page. (ex. Ability to learn new tasks quickly"??) how about - "Experienced Customer Service and Success proficient in various office software.....adept to learning new technologies to complete tasks....providing an exceptional customer experience.... etc.
- Your bullet points sound like job description copies.Try being more specific with the XYZ method to describe a bullet task.Ex. "I did x, using Y, to accomplish Z."In practice: "Managed online merchandising using the eBay platform to fulfill orders and ensure customer satisfaction"
- Get references off this resume please - along with your availability. Tremendo unnecessary XD
- I think you're trying hard with this format. A more standardized resume format would be more digestible. Nothing wrong with this one - Sample
​
Overall, you could describe and present alot of this data better or in more detail. Read this article.
It's up to you, but I would black-out your contact information on Reddit. Also, add previous work history and stick to summarizing your qualifications. What I usually do is tailor my resume to the requirements of specific tasks and qualifications that individual employers are looking for. Stay honest, but polish the details. Look up (google) different online resume templates (https://zety.com/resume-templates#1, as an example) to figure how you want your resume to look.

As far as time goes on experience, if you can knock out some beautiful code projects AND do well on the coding interviews, you'll be fine. Again, check out that first link. It'll help you better than I can lol
Hard to articulate exactly but it looks messy and unprofessional. Compare it with some top CVs here (sort by best). Do you see the difference? Yours looks like you made it in about five minutes. Give me a minute or so and I'll edit in some good examples of formatting to show you
Edit, also I just read the paragraph at the top properly. Delete that. It's just fluff and completely useless. Also you don't need two linkedin links. Just link the short url.
Edit 2, here you go https://zety.com/blog/what-skills-to-put-on-a-resume. Google some examples of skills based CVs/resumes
