Resume review: data analytics, data science or data engineering.
You guys are awesome at giving feedback for resume and after taking some feedback previously I have made some changes and want to see how it’s being received this time. Roles I am looking for: manager or senior manager roles in data analytics, data science, or data engineering. Both individual contributor or people manager. Thanks a bunch! #data #dataanalytics #dataanalytics

Remove “spearheading”. Don’t keep saying you were promoted- it’s obvious from the progression and you can mention it during an interview. I would also remove articles (a, the), and anything that doesn’t add value and just takes space (“Versatile Technologist”, “Career Profile” title…).
Agreed that some adjectives like “spearheaded” and “high-impact” sound buzzwordy. But if those adjectives are used in the job posting then it could be good to include them for matching by resume scanning software If not, I think the approach is “show and not tell” i.e. describe a scenario that sounds high impact vs just throwing in that word also with the feedback around being promoted I think you are trying to show that when you moved from one manager position to another that was a promotion, not just a lateral move. But I agree it seems a bit heavy handed so maybe there is a more subtle way of going about it. Can you call the current position “Senior Manager”?
2 of your bullets are missing numbers but reference improvement- can you quantify? Separately think to yourself what skills are inherent in each of your bullets so you can identify (1) are you speaking to the same skills over and over, and (2) compared with your perfect next role, what skills are missing from your resume and can you rephrase to add them in
Career profile: You could improve the career profile section by adding more specificity to the skills mentioned. For example, instead of saying "proficient in Python," you could mention specific Python libraries or frameworks you have used in your work. Professional experience: The bullet points under each job title are not consistently formatted, which can be distracting for the reader. You should ensure that each bullet point follows the same structure, such as starting with a strong action verb and using a consistent tense. Quantitative metrics: While you do provide some quantitative metrics, such as the amount of money saved or the number of hours reduced, these metrics could be more specific. For example, you could mention the percentage of cost savings achieved or the specific projects you worked on that resulted in these savings. Technical portfolio: You mention having a technical portfolio, but do not provide any further details or links. It would be beneficial to include a link to your portfolio or at least mention some of the projects you have included in it. Clarity: You could provide more clarity around the impact of your work. For example, instead of saying "contributed to over $100M in acquisition efficiencies," you could provide more detail on the specific role you played in these efficiencies and how they were achieved.
Remove career profile.
I like the career profile, it’s like describe what you bring to the table in one sentence If I had a whole stack of resumes I would find this helpful
Are you getting interviews at the companies you’re after? I’d go keyword matching tbh. Resume looks fine, they are just a door opener and everyone has an opinion

This is a hard sell since you don’t have a STEM degree 😐
He doesn’t have to. He is in management and have previous work experience in the field
He doesn’t have to, but you’re missing point that it’s a hard sell
Curious how your portfolio works, specifically for the bi dashboards what is shown when they follow the link?
I think some context around the projects would be helpful. The value add is all there, but some words that tie it to a real life business help it sound more interesting. I.e. it sounds like any generic data engineer, but giving some narrative points related to the business itself can be more grounding Also, there’s a lot of white space imo
