So this has been a question on my mind for a while now. Some backstory to this - I have 5 YOE and a lot of experience in various roles. I joined a rotational program out of college so I had the opportunity to rotate through roles as an SWE, Cybersecurity Analyst, DE, DA, senior DA, and I’m currently a PM/PO. For my next role I’m tryna get a DS role and as such I’ve been doing a lot of personal projects on the side. Should I include those projects knowing that would mean my resume will have to be two pages long? Without adding those projects my résumé’s at 1 page. I have my GitHub link included on my resume as well but is that enough? Thoughts on this? #jobs #resume #resumereview
1 page for resume. Infinity pages for CV.
Published research only
I have 12 years of assorted work experience but limit mine to 1 page full of UX experience because that's the job I want. I list skills and education on the left bar side
When you have a side bar, do you know if this is going to pass some ATS? I used to ask Indeed for resume review, and two columns did not pass their ATS, I eventually changed back to a 1-column format. But I'm thinking keeping a two-column format if I am handing my resume for a human reader for better readability. Do this align with your experience or there are some two-column templates will simply pass the ATS?
Mine is 3. I’ve held a fair number of leadership roles, published research, built some stuff that was pretty impactful in my area of work (internet protocol level stuff - IETF). It’s probably because my industry has folks that are looking for specific skills and experience, but I haven’t gotten feedback on it being too long. My TC isn’t 5-600k like many of the boasters here, closer to 250. I don’t think losing a page would have an impact on this. I did decline a 400k Amazon offer once, that resume was 4 pages.
I think 2 pages would fit only titles but not details and technical terms and keywords people are scanning for these days if you have a lot of yoe.
When the average human attention span increases. (hint: not for a long time).
Only 2 pages? Mine is 15 pages
30 pgs minimum
DM for SAP and anyone else for a referral!
I’m on a hiring committee at AWS, and if I opened a resume and saw half of it was devoted to side projects, I’d see it as a red flag and wouldn’t consider the candidate. For future reference, it’s also better to be really good at one thing than to have a little bit of experience in 5 different areas. We want the best of the best in each domain, not someone who can contribute a little bit on a few different topics
& this is why people think we're toxic. How the fuck is that a red flag
Would a summary section help? Also, any comments on ATS?
