I have been submitting applications to more than 100 companies each day, only to receive emails the next day stating, "Unfortunately, we have chosen another candidate." Despite having relevant skills in the field of patents, a published paper, and three years of work experience at Samsung, it seems that my resume is not strong enough to secure a first-level interview. Am I not effectively representing myself?
Rearrange the resume. Professional ex -> projects -> skills -> publication -> honors
That’s exactly how I have mine
Not to bright this one.
Too*... oh, the irony
😂
I suggest this order: Profesional Experience Honors and Awards Publications Projects Skills Education
It’s the market
The market is flooded with engineers who have years of experience and are willing to take the same job as someone who only has an internship as experience. Just a speculation though.
Also OP is surely exaggerating. 100 resumes per day? That's 1 completed application every 6 minutes for 10 hours. Other issues exist but a lack of realism is up there, too.
Move education to the very bottom. Start with a summary where you polish the most important skills and experiences customized to the role that you apply. Since I am non-tech, can’t talk too much about skills but doesn’t seem like a summary. Follow the skills section with experiences. Shorten publications and honors and rewards and put them at the bottom before education. Shorten projects and possibly spread them to experience but I think they can be separate as well. Just shorten them, there is too much detail. The first project has 4 lines of words, that is too much even for an experience bullet point. Your resume needs to be scannable and simple enough for recruiters and detailed enough for the HM to start a conversation. More details are for the interviews.
No no no no no, Education always at the top #1
What worked for me Information - just two lines I skipped summary but added skills - only relevant Experience- latest to last Project - most relevant Education- last ( nobody is looking at GPA etc) field, university, year. Cover letter - include your projects.
Resume reviews please https://us.teamblind.com/s/eO2yG7VO
Just generate a pdf resume from linkedin dude. I used that and almost no company - in and out FAANG - said no to me.
What time was it
Yeah when was it? Because in past market was differnt
Too much text. Reorder things, put education in bottom. Even better, do a two column Layout and organize things better. Remove tons of bullet points and try to shorten what you've done in your experiences. Projects can be reduced, keep different versions catered to different types of companies you are applying. Try using some good templates or LaTeX. Short and to the point, don't add too much descriptions
Dude, remove all the PII info!
What's PII?
Personal identificable information
