I have gotten really good feedback on my resume using rooftop slushie, if you don’t mind spending some money for valuable feedback

I just used a word doc with a 3 column table, exporting the final resume as a PDF. Works decent for me.

1) just use word and keep it as brief as possible. I read resumes all the time and if you have more than one page, you better have a good reason/content. 2) focus on results. Stay away from being too tactical. For example: “increased team productivity by 50% through building XYZ” instead of “Built XYZ solution” 3) LinkedIn

You should check out Jobalytics (link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jobalytics-resume-keyword/fkiljfkkceaopbpfgfmjdnkiejaifkgd?utm_source=blind&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR1OWWhbqbYPPQjze_2Du2qUCZ2UtcIjz4OXOIjaUzJJarBDqOD6uNXgFUY) -- a FREE chrome extension that can identify missing keywords from your resume based on the job description page. Most companies use application tracking systems to filter out resumes -- if you have the adequate keywords that reflect your skills and also match the job descriptions of the roles you're applying for, it could help you tremendously in the resume-screening part of job searching. Good luck!
