Ugh. I'm really upset.

A recruiter contacted me about applying for a role in a field similar to mine, but a bit more specialized. I sent him my resume, and he sent it to the company.

The recruiter said they liked my background, and in the end I did an initial phone screen with the client. Honestly, it seemed like it went well, and I was expecting that I'd at least make it to the next round.

After that, they immediately rejected me because I don't have direct experience in that specific industry. And that wasn't hidden at all. It was clear to them on my resume and didn't need a full screening call for them to find out.

I mean... Why? Why waste my time and theirs from the start? I'm just upset and annoyed.

I recently rebuilt my resume and would really appreciate some honest feedback. I’m primarily targeting software engineering internships and entry-level roles. I’d especially like feedback on my projects, technical skills, and overall resume presentation.

I'm still in university and lately I've been getting pretty anxious about what happens after graduation. Every time I open Reddit, I see another post about people applying to hundreds of jobs, getting ghosted, or struggling to land even entry level positions.

Maybe I'm just feeding myself too much negativity, but it's hard not to wonder whether things will actually improve over the next couple of years.

I'm not expecting some perfect six figure job straight out of college. I just want to graduate, find something decent, and have a realistic path to building a career.

Do you guys think hiring will look noticeably better by 2028, or should students like me be preparing for this to be the new normal?

4.5 YoE in security operations. Work at a small MS(S)P and am pretty much the only person that does any incident response work. Looking to get into more IR-focused roles, or relocate to something more interesting in the SOC.

I had to use their provided template, but please let me know if everything makes sense and is clear! I mostly worry about having such a long work history but I wanted to include my human service hours from 10 years ago!

I’ve been putting together a list of common resume mistakes for fresh graduates:

Using the same resume for every job

Writing long paragraphs instead of clear bullet points

Listing skills you can’t confidently explain

Ignoring relevant keywords in the job description

Not checking spelling, dates and contact information before applying

I’d add one more: tailor your resume to the role, but never add experience or skills you don’t actually have.

What other mistakes would you add for someone applying for their first job?

Hi Everyone,

I am a full time social media manager at my current job, and a full time content creator outside of work. I am looking for a new, remote social media position, full time or part time, that would give me more time to focus on my personal accounts.

Currently between both positions, I am working around 100 hours per week and only sleep a couple hours per night at most, I have been doing this for over a year now and its really taking a toll on me mentally and physically.

I thought surely I would have enough experience now to land even a low paying part time job, but I can't even land an interview, so I figured it might be my resume that's the problem. thanks for any help

Hello everyone, If you could please review my resume here that would be great. I am trying to find a swe job and im thinking If i should focus more on projects or interview practice to enhance my resume. Thank you guys for your help

I have 10+ years of experience across manufacturing, supply chain, OEM, supplier operations, and process improvement.
I’m currently targeting Manager-level and senior individual contributor / Program Lead roles in Operations, Program Management, and Operational Excellence, primarily in the U.S.
I’ve recently rebuilt my resume and would especially appreciate feedback on:
What level does this resume read as to you: Senior IC, Manager, or something else?
Is my current scope and impact clear without having direct reports?
Does the resume feel too broad across Operations / Program Management / Operational Excellence?
Is there anything that would make you hesitate to interview me?
I’m less concerned with minor formatting preferences and more interested in how the experience and positioning come across to a recruiter or hiring manager.

Thank you for any feedback.

Hi all! I'm looking for a resume keyword optimization tool, one that compares the text of the resume with job description, and gives me a list of missing keywords/phrases, which I can click and have added (usually to a big list of skills at the end). Can you recommend top tools that do this? So far, all the tools I've tried are senseless AI ones that "rewrite" the resume into gibberish, offering no control

Im am looking for someone to switch my resume from US to EU format. I've looked on unworkable and fiverr but nothing stuck out. Can anyone offer specific recommendations?

Hello everyone,

I'm in need of some help. I am trying to transition out of teaching. I've been taking some business classes and thinking about entering a supply chain management certification program. I need help with my resume and how to fram and transition my skills into a different field. I was thinking of applying to intern or and or entry level positions to begin the pay cut. I don't really mind. However, it's becoming difficult getting any callbacks and or interviews, maybe it's something with my resume. Any help is greatly appreciated.

So its my first time ever making a resume and i need great tips on what to ADD in my resume. I'm a student graduating soon and want to apply to internships since i have zero experience so i decided to create a resume of two pages, applied, and no one reported back at me.

not even a rejection.

as a (almost) grad student

how is a resume is supposed to be laid out?

what is the format of a resume employers everywhere are looking for?

Pretty much every resume advice article I've read says you should quantify and emphasize results. Which makes a lot of sense.

But, none of my jobs really gave me hard data, sometimes outcomes were not measurable e.g. "supporting student personal growth" or "building community," and I feel like most the time there wasn't much of an accomplishment, it was just performing the expected duties.

I remember the tasks, accomplishing them, meeting goals, and contributing to buisness mission. I don't remember the minutiae enough to make an honest guess.

So it seems my my options are straight up lying, making up a very rough guess, or leaving it off. None of them seem to be great options.

Am I missing or misunderstanding something?

What would be the best way to proceed given the above circumstances?

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi everyone, I've been trying to transition as a junior sys admin to tech sales. I've been mostly been applying to tech BDR and associate sales engineer roles. Also, I have applied to some technical consultant roles as well. The issue I'm having is with my resume. I think the template is good and it's not overall terrible, however, since I have no sales experience, it's hard to tailor my bullet points to these roles.

I've worked for msps (managed service provider) and that's where I have most of my consulting experience. I find weak points in a companies infrastructure and then sell them our product. I would love to have a chance to express these skills and I also think my technical skillset can be of good use for a tech sales position.

Please let me know what you guys think of my resume and please give me honest feedback. I just want to have the best chance for this transition.
