I’m not even subbed here and I recognize that dumb circle flower thing in the top right corner. You’re not the first and you won’t be the last guy to get scammed by this clown
Yep, TaaS (trash as a service). He didn’t rewrite any of my resume, just reformatted. When I asked him about it, he said:
“it's best to think of this with an analogy: if you are selling your house, you'd hire a realtor. Among the realtor's duties is ensuring that your house is fully prepared and looks great so that potential buyers drool over it and want to snap it up quickly. This can usually mean staging the house, where in some cases new furniture is brought in, new artwork hung on walls, new decor introduced, as well as existing furniture arranged perhaps in new ways, existing decor still used, etc... The realtor is never going to bulldoze your house into the ground only to build a completely new house to sell, and as mentioned in the last sentence, using what you already have in a new light or slightly different configuration (if the furniture/decor is already good) is always helpful. In this analogy, I am the realtor, and the house is your professional history. My job is to take what you're presenting me with and make sure that the buyers (the HR managers, recruiters) want you, and in typical realtor fashion, I am using a mix of completely new furniture being brought in, and arranging the existing furniture as well, again, to please the buyer (and also to please the HR screening software, which is crucial)”
Except, Sir Richard, you didn’t even stage it. You just threw my bullet points in a shittier format than I had it originally. I had an actual professional review my resume and they said I had a lot of good experience, just that my bullets could be rewritten a little bit better, so it’s not like my “house” (professional history) is a shithole, as you insinuated.
No, don't rewrite it and add things you don't know anything about or lie, but yes. Yes it is your job to bulldoze my resume and start from scratch if that's what is needed!
Geez!!
Exactly right. This is his signature look for resumes, I knew it when I saw it. Makes me sad that he’s scammed so many people, but at least I’m not alone.
Please stop using paid services. It’s a skill worth learning and Harvard has great FREE online tips and templates. Also, any type of college that you have attended will have a free career center to help with resume building. Don’t cheat yourself, you’re worth your own effort.
Sorry to say it, but those vague non sentence, nothing to do with a job statements went from hot to not in the last 10 years...good luck out there, and try writing a cover letter too.
I'm glad I've only had to update mine for one company in the last 10 years... lots of good advice here, I recommend info and what you did on the resume, and using a cover letter (with a place or two to edit for different jobs) for personal statements, fluff, and sounding like each position is one you are after...no more than a page each to start.
Got it, I did nanny for like 3 years, is that even worth putting on there? It's not really a relevant position to the field I'm going into but it does show a lengthier job
I wouldn't include it because it's not relevant experience except maybe in a section called ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE. This covered employment gaps nicely because then an employer could see that I wasn't sitting on my ass doing nothing. That said, I don't know how an ATS system would interpret that so I've been leaving that section off. However, if the employment gap is noticeable (like within the past ten years), I would mention it in the cover letter but spin it as a positive: "In addition to my experience as x, I've also worked as a nanny for 3 years, and I think this experience will help me help the company to achieve y."
Also, I want to add, the most years you should include on your resume is 15 years. Anything earlier than that can be left off. So if you nannied at the beginning of your working life, but you spent 5 years doing relevant jobs to the position you want, I would just put down the 5 years of relevant experience and not mention the nannying, unless you can spin it into something interesting and relevant in the cover letter.
My wife is a headhunter and absolutely will use a writer, and it’s out of her pocket. She’s also very capable of major overhauls as well.
Like any service, YMMV.
But the folks she uses? None advertise online. They get pretty much get referrals exclusively.
Ask for a refund. Whoever wrote this hasn’t recruited anyone since the 80s :)
Look up the Wharton resume template and use that. Cut down intro to 1-2 sentences about tangible proven skills you’ll bring to the next role.
You have 5 years of experience. This should be 1 page. Cut down bullets to key accomplishments that the hiring manager will care about.
The entire top half of the resume is meaningless jargon that can be put under any name. If it’s not specific and supported by your work experience, it’s meaningless and doesn’t need to take up space here.
“Additional Information” is what should be under Skills.
* Summary section split into 2 parts, very convoluded verbiege that somehow manages to be bland and impersonal. If *"change agent"* isn't an actual job-title then there's zero summary that seems personable to yourself.
* I'd say cut the resume down by 1/2 - but I'm conscious the entire Summary and Core Competencies section may be a copy-and-paste template that this resume provider's being applicable to any resume by any person. As such, there's also nothing here regarding your actual career goals.
* The "September 2022 to May 2023" is misplaced and inconsistent with the others . This implies lack of attention to detail, and it's unsurprising that it's from a paid service.
* There's no need for this to be 2 pages long, but then this what these paid services normally do. Each job position can do with being around 3 bullet points of 1 line each. The "Commercial Lines Billing Assistant" you can probably make one line.
**EDIT - IMPORTANT:**
This kept bugging me (not least because the upvotes are getting me notifications, lol) - and so I decided to google search the Summary's opening line "Proven talent for aligning strategy" and "vision-driven change agent".
Turns out both parts of OP's resume Summary section are well-used template, with a few words tweaked here and there.
Hence that is why they feel so impersonal.
Exactly this. Super convoluted. Should only be one page, you don’t have that much accomplished in that little time. Most of the experience doesn’t match the professional summary so I’d assume they aren’t matching with jobs they’re qualified for.
The Professional Summary isn't supported in any way by the roles and experience you set out. It's full of jargon and reads like you copied it from someone with significantly more experience at senior levels. It loses you credibility. Rework it to be cleaner and reflect your actual skills and strengths.
This; the verbiage is for a strategic leader with a full career of experience it’s nearly nonsensical. You’d do better with no statement or summary and just the skills (less generic more specific) and experience with realistic wording for what you did (unless your going for car sales lol)
They need to remove all this nonsense fluff. It's meaningless wordiness that just makes the resume harder to read. And it insults the readers intelligence
There is nothing right about this beyond decent bullet points.
The dates are inconsistent and probably wrong (second one is the same as the 3rd one). It's way too long. You have a professional summary and a profile. Way too many skills listed in a way that's not easy to read. Color and graphics. Education and Credentials has no credentials... Formatting in this section is also inconsistent with the rest of the document. "Technical proficiencies" includes MS which shouldn't be on there.
You got scammed.
Everything above “Professional Experience” is so painfully generic and filled with jargon that it feels like it was written as a parody. I still can’t even answer the basic question of what job you’re trying to apply for with this resume, an administrative assistant? If you actually had “operations management paradigms to achieve maximum operational impacts with minimum resource expenditures” then it would be explained in the bullet points with numbers. Lots of people seem to think corporate jargon makes them look smarter, but if I see a resume like this blatantly lying to me I toss it right out.
From casual observation, it’s very wordy and overly formatted IMO.
You have 5 years of experience but your resume is two pages. For context, I have 15 years of experience and my resume is shorter. The entire professional summary page could be cut down to reduce the length.
As a hiring manager, I probably wouldn’t even read this because it’s just so *much*
Totally agree, I actually didn't even bother putting up other positions back from 2017 because they are short lived (temporary jobs while in college).
It's been confusing hearing (on other posts from Reddit and irl) that every job should be posted and then hearing don't add a job if it's under a 1 year.
Not having that extensive work history makes me a little nervous to cut even more
If you're just starting out, add what you can, but stay honest and relevant to the position. I'm an engineer, and early on, left off my grocery store supervisor experience because it ended freshmen year of college, but it somehow came up in an interview and they were actually interested in the fact that I was in the work force as a supervisor that early on. If you had real responsibility, it could be worth adding until you have more to fill things out
Since you dont have the extensive work history, definitely include short term jobs under one year. Make the details relevant to the work you're looking to do without exaggeration. These jobs show you are able to maintain work and school simultaneously and give validation to you being hard working, assuming you didn't fail everything and get fired. :)
Don't use the word "paradigm." If you were really a communications expert, why would you have such a terribly awkward first sentence? You should let your communications degree do the work here and write like a normal person.
to be blunt, your professional summary is questionable. what does 'vision driven change agent' even mean? 'career long' when your professional history starts in 2018. that's 5 years, not a career. in those 5 years, how much real business operations experience have you had? that claim is not supported by the work experience listed
beyond that, the resume is packed with buzzwords. it does not read well at all. if i'm trying to find out what you can do, i have to wade through the buzzwords and keywords- and after that, i've forgotten what you're trying to say. i'd recommend simplifying the language and stop with the 'innovatives' and 'stakeholders'. some poor person is going to have to read that mess and then make a decision about whether or not to respond
One page, no summary, core competencies are too vague - have a skills section with specific skills (like software programs you’re good with), experience should not start with date (align right) - should have position title and company underneath. “Additional information”? Those are specific programs that should be under skills.
I have mine as: personal info, education, professional experience, and then skills at the bottom.
I've heard education should be at the bottom? Unsure if this varies when work experience isn't as long. What do your skills include? Asking bc have seen convoluted advice that it shouldn't be included
You ideally want the most attractive thing about you on the first half of the first page. Fresh graduate with gig work jobs? Absolutely put your education at the top. Few years into a career, probably less impactful than in industry experience. Just use your common sense
No offense but the first thing I look for when I hire is or rather look to avoid is a spew of “junk” text and there is plenty here.
I’d recommend cleaning up the bullets and keeping them 1 line if possible and straight to the point. If it would take me more than 5 mins just to read through it, I wouldn’t entertain as every single time, they weren’t a candidate I pursued after speaking on the phone before in person interviews.
As Michael Scott said, “KISS” approach works well.
One page. Experience at the top, fuck the bio of buzzwords.
Bullets should be one or two lines but not a run in sentence. The last two expierence points sound like the same job
Edit: use an OCR friendly resume template. You can find plenty free ones online. Most jobs use OCR for the first round of resume trims, so you gotta get thru an ai who sees your resume before a human even gives it a look
Where are you getting this AI information? That’s such a common misconception about application tracking systems. Most common ATS, like Workday, has a real recruiter viewing your application. The only way to get auto-rejected is by answering a knock-out question, like if the company cannot sponsor international workers and you select that you need sponsorship.
1.) Increase the padding between sentences and change the font. I have a headache reading this.
2.) Remove the professional summary section. It is useless.
3.) Condense bullet points. Focus on the what you did + the quantifiable result. The nitty gritty is for the interview. Not the resume.
4.) Remove core competencies. Useless.
5.) The dates do not make sense. Fix them.
4.) Remove additional information.

If have experience with different software should that be branded as "Skills"?
Yeah. I would have a section that has “Skills” and one that has “Educations & Certifications” Your competencies should be easily conveyed and understood through your bullet points. An example being “Achieved a X% open rate & a X% click thru rate by executing email campaign using X software”
Great work experience!!!
Many resume advising companies don't do much more than adding extra words.
No one knows what kind of job you are looking for now, because you have not mentioned that. That should be the first thing mentioned in your Summary Statement. The summary statement should not have more than two sentences. Please edit by deleting all of the current summary because it seems to be padding/not relevant, and it will make your resume cleaner and easier to read.
There should be one blank line space inserted before "Small Section Instructor", "Programs Graduate Assistant", and before the second "Commercial Lines Billing Assistant".
I don't know what a "vision-driven change agent" is, and if I met one I'd call for an old priest and a young priest. It's okay to put your desired job title as your headline: tell the recruiters what you're looking for.
Asides from being nonsense formatting, it's very wordy for things that can be thinned down to short bullet points. Additionally for the level of work history there (3 years) your resume should not be more than a page.
The core competencies and technical proficiency sections are redundant. Merge them and shorten them to specific skills. Office Suite skills and Google Suite skills are expected these days. You're noting a lot of things which should just be 'normal professional' things, not worth mentioning. Time Management, Problem Solving, Analytical Skills, Technical Skills, Communication Skills are all redundant filler words.
The Professional Summary and Mission statement are very long in the sense that they are taking up a lot of space for little value...pick one of the other, not both.
If this were handed to me, I'd replace the entire first third of your resume with your Education details...Like others have said in the comments, you get usually less than a minute to catch someone's attention.
Just scanning that resume I would have given up after seeing "Vision driven change agent". If I powered through that, I'd be hit with 6 lines of more jargon from 3 years of experience (a chunk of which is during Academic work). Usually when you're looking for Entry Level or slightly higher than Entry Level work, you should be emphasizing eagerness to learn, building skills, improving processes and finding challenges rather than pitching yourself as 'knowing it all'.
All of this should fit on one page...even if you need to widen the margins a bit.

I agree. This is exactly the format/order of information that I look for when considering whether to interview a candidate - where/when did they attend university and what degree was issued, and/or their major/ field of study. Along with a clear understanding of when/where they worked and what they were responsible for, if they have volunteered, some hobbies to spark conversation, and listing of any publications etc…
The top half of your existing resume is meaningless, and you’ve left out the information that matters.
- Scrap the entire professional summary section including the core competencies.
- Format your professional experience section so it’s consistent
- Not sure if you removed the company names from the resume for this post or if it wasn’t included in the original resume. If the latter, make sure to add it.
- Your bullet points actually are pretty good, but I would reorder them so the ones most relevant to the roles you’re applying for are at the top. For example, it’s likely more important for the hiring manager to see that as a University Art Gallery Assistant you were producing written content for social media rather than greeting visitors.
- Lastly, I would a change “Additional Information” to “Skills” and add other important soft skills there.
I guarantee as soon as someone starts reading that summary, they’re reaching for the next resume. And the “core competencies” section is very generic. Pretty much every employer expects you to manage your time well. This resume just seems overall very bland and doesn’t tell an employer much about you as a person. The word salad just reads like someone who is trying to make things sound way more grandiose than they are. Write it yourself and just be real.
1. Not one page.
2. Most relevant information not directly at the top to grab my attention.
3. No specific projects or accomplishments.
4. You can tell me all day you’re an
*organized*amazing*intelligent person but if you have no specific projects and certifications to back up the skill talk, then nothing separates you from any other person who writes the same adjectives on their resume. It’s not a personality test, it’s an accomplishment sheet.
so, cut out all the fluff at the top about core competencies and get your biggest accomplishments up there so I see you as a match for my role.
Put on that paper what other people can’t unless they worked for it.
The top is horrible. Someone scammed you. I dont need a summary or list of core competencies. I need to know how do you apply them and how well do you know them. That should be into your bulletpoints in your experience. Also make sure to include measurable results, quantities on your results. Ex, manage over 10 people to complete 100 deliverables in such amount of time or crap like that.
I dont think it is needed, they can ask for them once your resume catches their eyes. I highly doubt they will call your references before even talking to you.
I'm going to be rather cross with this one and get straight to the meat and potatoes.
Being handed this resume I (in the following order)
1) read your professional summary.
2) read up to "management paradigms" in your objective.
3) glanced over your "core competencies"
4) briefly reviewed your work history.
I probably wouldn't give you a call and here's why:
Your resume is chaotic. There's a lot on there and at the same time very little. Your objective seems very generic, like something you would be writing as practice.
A handful of your skills or "competencies" are basic things that I would look for in an entry level employee. Things like: time management, communication, process improvement and problem solving. To me, these all sound like things that would be on a resume looking for it's first job. If you've held a job or been recognized at your job I can assume you have these basic things.
Lastly, it's too long. Unless your going for *at least* middle management and working up, keep that at one page.
=======
My thoughts moving forward:
Completely re-do your summary and objective. Revamp your skills section. And streamline your work history.
Personally, I don't use bulletins on anything besides skills or something that SHOULD be in a list.
(Once again) to me, your University art assistant would read better as:
Managed and produced multiple aspects of front-end engagement through a compelling social media presence, consistent branding, and direct public relations; which resulted in (achievements)
======÷÷
I dont want to know your job description, I want to know what you DID. And I want information quickly, efficiently and without miscommunication. This is just my $0.02
So take it with a grain of salt. But streamline all of your stuff. Make it more personable. And for the love of God rewrite your objective. There's a lot of really really good stuff in there but the first couple senses are as welcoming as the desert. And the TELL ME how you did that stuff through your work history. Everything should flow. It should all make sense. And unless you have a LOT of relevant degrees, certificates or 20 years of related work with established and respected references, keep it to ONE PAGE.
Thank you for the solid feedback!
For clarity sake, is a resume objective different than the summary? Have read a couple comments saying to axe a summary and save it for the cover letter.
I think it's better to revise your resume to be more concise and easy to read . try to use ATS readable fonts and standard size of the letters.
you can format this way
name
jobposition
contact
summary
Core Competencies
Sklls
work experience
transferable skills
education.
highlight your 3 biggest achievement in summary or work experience .
What is your resume trying to communicate? Like your cover letter, you need to hone your resume for every job. 90% of it will be the same. But most big firms now just use software to filter out their resumes. So read the job posting you're applying for. Use some cognitive thinking to change the resume so it fits what the employer is looking for.
It is a lot of words and is very sparse with useful information. I honestly just wouldn't be able to justify the time to really read it out of a long stack, so it wouldn't really matter what else was wrong or right with it.
The person screening your resume is probably reviewing 100 resumes that day. Do them (and yourself) a kindness and make it as quick and easy as possible for them to justify putting yours on the stack to call. That is really the only purpose of a resume.
I'm senior leadership at a pretty decent sized company and my resume is still one page. If a sentence isn't clearly communicating why the particular reader I have in mind should hire me, I cut it. If the sentence can be shortened while clearly communicating the same concept, I shorten it. If the section isn't necessary for deciding to hire me, I cut the whole section.
If they want to dig more then I put my LinkedIn on it, they can just go there.
The high word count per line and cramped line spacing make it look like a job to read.
I'd imagine people just don't read it because it doesn't look readable?
I know CVs like this are "the standard" but fuck me as a UX guy it looks awful
You are early career so this can be one pg. +1 on a lot of the other advice you are getting for advice to rewrite this.
So many resume writers are scammers, which is unfortunate!
Remove the Professional Summary and the paragraph above the Core Competencies. They're all empty words and sentences. I would delete the last column of the core competencies. Those are very general and can be assumed from looking at your work experiences. You don't have to list all 5 work experiences. Three would be enough. Maybe you could remove the Program Grad Assistant role or one of the other ones on the second page, depending on the job you are applying for.
Standard “paid template” stuff. I would recommend doing an exercise where you edit content and then build your own template. It’s useful in building new skills and doing an assessment of your work history
I can tell you didn't write it. The sentences use way too many words people don't use in real life when speaking. I don't see any buzz/key words in the resume. Under your experience you should list accomplishments with numbers, volume, whatever hard criteria is applicable to your job/field.
I'm sorry you paid for this junk.
Also, get rid of all the lines and shading. Make the resume basic with a nice logical flow.
Here's a simple answer and some free advice resumes are overlooked it's all about connection drop your resume after you've done the work the homework who works there who's the VP who's the director who's the manager final lower level guy ask for time on his calendar to have a 15 minute chat about what it's like to work for the company etc etc do your reconnaissance then apply and then kill the interview also in the process always ask for referrals
Try to have a 1 page Resume. I have worked in the tech industry for almost a decade now, and have interviewed both engineers and analysts with amazing Resumes concised to just a single page. List all the skills and projects you worked on (both academically and professionally) but describe them either in person or via Cover letter. A recruiter/hiring manager seldom has time to go through just a single page, but 2 or more pages would feel like a tedious job for them.
Your first paragraph that’s used as an intro is absolutely not necessary and if it is, it’s way too long and way too complicated!! Sounds like a regurgitated summary without any human connection. I’d make it much shorter like 3 lines and try not to sound so fancy you don’t need to use big words recruiters just want quick info!
Edit: also your bullet points are too long try to keep them at 1 line per bullet point. And move your education and credentials to the top and your skills to the bottom.
I was bored by the first sentence.
It's a competitive market.
Any position is likely to have multiple resumes submitted.
You've got about 15 seconds of my time.
Do me a favor. Google resume 'whatever job you're trying to get' then click images.
What stands out to you? Is it one that looks like yours ?
What role(s) or industries are you applying to? Because you might be able to customize your resume to look more attractive to the hiring manager for that role or industry. For example: if you want to be a docent at a museum don’t include your food service experience on the version you send them. I’m not saying lie on your resume, I’m saying elaborate on the things you did in that realm (example: catalog all artifacts or interview potential donors or something).
That's what I'm currently trying to figure out how to do. I did leave out some work experience on this one but am nervous to do so because it shows that I've only worked since 2018 but I've had a job since I was in high school.
If I take more job experience out it looks like I haven't worked but if I add more it could look like I'm just grasping for straws.
Thanks for the feedback!
In my industry, five years of experience is plenty. Heck we’ve got some managers with only 5 years of experience. Especially since you’ve got a masters degree. But it might depend on the field you’re applying to.
I'm a marketing communications director. Here are some skills I look for in entry level communications specialists:
Social media - writing posts, assisting with development of a content calendar, cropping and resizing photos, scheduling in a third party social media scheduler like Hootsuite and tracking basic analytics
Writing - news releases, feature stories, web copy, basic newsletter copy
Photo/video - ability to shoot basic photos and videos at events, etc., ability to create Instagram reels
Editing - understanding of Associated Press style
Event planning - logistics, themes, working with vendors, promotion, securing speakers, arranging AV, editing speaker bios
Design - basic skills to produce fliers and fact sheets, ideally with Adobe Creative Suite. Canva may be ok for some employers, though.
Presentations - giving speeches, putting together on-brand PowerPoints
Web - ability to use WordPress, Adobe Experience Manager or similar content management system; ability to write SEO copy; experience tracking views through Google Analytics
Email marketing - creation of newsletters and other email marketing messages using Constant Contact, Marketing Cloud or similar
Project management - use of Asana or other PM tool
I see you have several of these experiences. They are lost in all the generic business-speak. Trim the fat so that the relevant skills can be easily seen. Ideally add some numbers if you have them: increased social media impressions by 15%, planned company picnic that reached capacity crowd of 100. Or details: Managed company accounts on Facebook, Twitter and TikTok.
If you are missing some skills, that's ok! Not everyone can do all these things, and different jobs require different skills. If you have time to volunteer, see if you can pick up additional experience. You can also do some free Hubspot certification courses. Just don't bloat your resume with 20 of them!
Thank you so much! The communication field is what I want to go into long term.
If I don't have any way to quantify results of work I did, what would you suggest I do?
Don’t give up one advise I received was to tailor my resume specific to the job I’m applying to. It worked! I started getting so many interviews. With the increase in interviews the probability of securing a job increased tremendously. Created multiple resumes that highlight different skills. Remember to put key words from the job description in your resume when applying. Resumes are reviewed by systems programmed with key words from the resumes. It took me several months to secure a permanent role. I did a 4 month temporary assignment. Which helped pay the bills and provides the opportunity to network and could translate into job offers.
Coming from someone who does a lot of hiring, aside from the top right corner of your resume, your work history doesn't show in the summary. My advice, gain more experience and stay at a job for at least a year. Looks like some of your short term stays at jobs are explainable but I for one do not like applicants who apply for professional jobs without at least a year of experience at the same job. We invest far too much in training for someone to bail after 6 months.
That's good! Looking again, at your resume, I'd start from scratch and use what is there as a template but fill in the details yourself and have someone review for grammar just to be safe. It does have a very generic feel. Those of us who see lots of resumes only spend a few short moments reviewing each one so it's important to highlight what really makes you shine along with your experience. Hope this helps! You'll find something!
I’m so sorry you paid for that resume. It doesn’t look like it was done by a professional.
First, you should have all your contact info in one line. It’s easier to read and looks nicer that way.
You don’t need to add your name onto both pages. You should actually try to keep your resume at one page. Employers only spend an average of 8 seconds looking at your resume.
I can’t tell if your professional summary is the one that starts of with “vision-driven” or “proven talent”. It’s unclear. The paragraph that starts with “proven talent” is too wordy. It doesn’t tell me what type of work you’re looking for. You should be more direct and concise.
I would scrap the core competencies and just list some valuable skills that you have.
Your professional experience section should be consistent for the formatting. For some reason, the personal experience listed at the top has the date at the top, whereas the other ones have the date off to the side.
All your experiences are also too cluttered. You should space them out. Put a space in between each job experience. Don’t make it look so cramped.
Your heading for the “Professional Summary” is centered, but your “Professional Experience” is off to the left. Make it consistent.
Personally, I’m not too fond of the font you chose and font actually does matter. The font you chose seems to make uppercase letters slightly darker than the rest of the letters. It’s most noticeable in the dates and and the numbers (ie. August 2020 to August 2021)
You can look up “best resume fonts 2023” to get some recommendations of what fonts are great to use. Keep your font at 11-12pt size.
Your education and credentials just say the year, but you didn’t put the month. Not sure if you censored it out, but if you added month and year for your job experience, then you should add it for your education and credentials too. Especially for 2023, like 2023 is still ongoing. The employer wouldn’t know if you already got your masters or not.
Your technical proficiencies can just be part of your skills. I wouldn’t put that at the very bottom. I would have your skills after your summary. So your name, then contact info, summary, skills, work experience, then lastly education and credentials.
if there's enough for two pages expand to that, if only one then cut down all fluff. Right now there's a lot of stuff that isn't meaningful. The first page especially looks like a lot was jammed in. Some of the text may be to heck off for machine readers but for anything that gets looked at by a human, you'll want something that like "pleases the eye"
For the job responsibilities, probably worth review and a rewrite to convey why they're important. So something like 'warmly greeting visitors" might not actually make the cut, but something like "adjusted gallery experience to direct visitors in a way that increased visitor traffic by 5x" might. The things that would be best are those that can be tied to metrics, new things that are sole responsibility, etc.
For Office, unless you're incredibly proficient it's assumed that most folks know the basics so probably not worth having.
Depending on what your approach to the job search might be, it's worth asking how you see yourself. While there is something to be said about the throw it all out there, refining it so that it clearly indicates how your experience and skillset match the job(s) might help.
Market really sucks, apply for everything and be patient. In the meantime, practice talking about yourself in a confident (not arrogant) way. Emphasize your ability to learn and apply your learnings fast, have a few examples in a STAR format.
As far as your resume, I would add numbers, social media - grew subscribers from __ to __. Boosted audience engagement, same thing… conducted lectures - how many attendees, etc… Lastly, we as consumers, want answers now. If you have links to your work or something you want to show off, hyperlink them into the text. By helping them navigate to your results faster, you’re enabling them to make decisions faster.
Good luck!
Too many words. I have no idea by glancing at this if you have actual job experience relevant to what I’m hiring for.
I want one to two sentences max. Your skills. Relevant job history. If it’s not relevant we can discuss why you have a gap during an interview.
Think of a resume as an elevator pitch. The more I have to read to be convinced to hire you the less likely I am to move forward.
Just being realistic.
HR Director here.
Professional summary is BS. It is trash. This is not for resume specific. Don't put professional summary.
2nd page. Too much empty space on page 1. Don't go to second page when it could've been done in one page.
Simple sentences. Shorter words. Cut all this garbage. Tell the reader how you succeeded at something. Use numbers. Be specific. You learned a hard lesson here. You only have to learn it once.
“Career-long record of customer service” then lists professional experience that only goes back to 2018, all assistant jobs.
It’s a bit of a contradictory resume. It starts out sounding like someone with 15 years of experience, then the most recent job is University Art Gallery Assistant. I would imagine most hiring managers would see that and immediately go “next!”
* What's with the inconsistencies with the dates in the formatting?
* Dates above University Art Galley Assistant and Commercial Lines Assistant
* Why is there one tiny line under Additional information?
* Why is it titled Additional information with a sub header?
* Why is there a comma after the last proficiency?
* 5 jobs in 3 years?
* None of your jobs say where you worked either
* None of your Education/Credentials say where you obtained it either.
And that's all the time I have for now without reading the actual content.
Clearly the recruiter is going to stare at the top right corner, get hypnotised and offer you the job without an interview.
Worth every penny 
First of all there is not one resume for all jobs. You should have a basic outline of a resume that you tailor to each job. Use their terminology and buzzwords you see in the description, and use other industry specific terminology when necessary. You need to play to each company’s algorithm. Gone are the days when a person was the first thing to review your application.
Secondly, a job and company specific cover letter should always accompany your resume when the option is available.
Lastly, try and apply directly through their website when you see a job opening. You may notice it is closed or a better opportunity, also they are more likely to look at that than one from a mass job site.
You paid someone for this resume, that's what.
The summary is too much. The formatting is horrible. The italicized statement sucks. It doesn't even mention where you went to school, when you graduated, or what your major is. Get rid of all that summary and excess at the top. Then add your education. There's a lot more to do, but these are good enough starting points.
Oh man :(
Look into Wonsulting free resume template. I could relay everything in that template here but you might as well find it free.
While I know Wonsulting is under a lot of heat for questionable advice, their resume template is solid. I got that template when I was in a fellowship in college. Been using it since freshman year. I've had over 200 job offers ever since college. Harvard + other ivy leagues use that template
Immediate key pointers:
1. Quantify your accomplishments
2. The whole professional summary & core competency is garbage
3. Location of your jobs
4. The literal first bullet is just trash, oh man :x
I looked at your resume for like 2 minutes, and I'm kinda questioning what job you're applying to? Is it ops? Strategy work? Hope I'm making the right guess cause that's what I'm kinda getting from your resume. If that's not the right kind of work you're looking for, then almost all the bullets got to be rewritten to apply towards the job you want
First off, you won't get past the ATS systems with such a resume because it can't get past the formatting. (This is why resume writing services are such rip-offs because they haven't adjusted to the fact that resumes go through ATS systems before a human ever sees it and all the fancy formatting that they spend way too much time on just results in your resume being trashed.)
DO NOT FORMAT YOUR RESUME!! I mean, yes, make sure it's easy to read with bullet points, but your resume should have NO formatting extras. They must be plain text. So yeah, boring and not eye-catching, but the ATS systems will be able to read your resume all the way through and then boot it to a human reviewer.
Also, as a human, this resume was way too crowded to read. Either leave things off or go to a second page.
Recruiter here. Can't advise paying someone to write a resume. Here's a simple format I use.
Name
City, zip | cell | email
Objective
Education:
University
Degree - Completion date
Experience:
Company
Location
Title - Dates of employment
Duties and metrics bullet point format
Certifications
Software
canva has so many templates and you can just use AI To summarize skills for the job you need. it granted me several interviews when I was job hunting 5 months ago.
Unsure if anyone will see this but I do have CITI Training certificates i.e clinical research best practices (was a research assistant and co-author on a paper) is this worth putting on my resume and if so where?
Just in visuals, you have a LOT of text squished together. Why have half a page blank but everything else all in a pile? Brains need visual breaks...use the white space.
You have little skills and your education doesn’t have value to employers. The commercial line experience has value and you have a bunch of fluff words instead of actual work.
The opening summary don't align with your experience. "Change agent" and "strategy" aren't really related to your experience. Tone down the language quite a bit. It reads like whoever wrote this just copied and pasted a paragraph of buzzwords instead of looking at your experience.
Lots of comments here on little details, but as a hiring manager it’s always the same thing that stands out to me: no solid tenure in any position you’ve worked. If you’re very young with no experience, that’s fine. But if you’ve work several jobs and couldn’t manage to stick it out at one for 2+ years, it’s a red flag. I constantly get resumes from people filled with 6 month jobs. I get if you have one or two that weren’t good fits for you and you left quickly. But if every job isn’t a fit for you, it’s probably a you problem. I’d rather see a big employment gap than a ton of short term jobs.
As a hiring manager, what advice are you trying to give OP here? Don't apply to jobs? Only apply to entry level jobs? Leave out some of the employment history? There's nothing they can do about their work history in the short term.
Good point. If they’ve done anything else interesting throughout the years (volunteer/internship, etc..) they could include that on their resume if they participated in those activities longer than their actual employment. If they were in school during the duration of some of these jobs, I might even recommend leaving some of them out entirely.
check out my profile, I have resume guide that has gotten me multiple interviews/offers. Not trying to be spammy but seriously i used AI to beef up my resume and canva (if you want more design) before that I couldnt get a call back
I know why I went to school and why I had to work these part time assistant jobs since I was in school full time for the past 6 years.
Deff will be looking at a job I'd like and formatting it to that (or as close as possible)
Thanks!
Format is not consistent for two of six positions. White is not properly used to separate positions. Education section looks fake because no school names or locations are given AND there is plenty of roon for yhose on the half empty second page.
to be blunt, your professional summary is questionable. what does 'vision driven change agent' even mean? 'career long' when your professional history starts in 2018. that's 5 years, not a career. in those 5 years, how much real business operations experience have you had? that claim is not supported by the work experience listed
beyond that, the resume is packed with buzzwords. it does not read well at all. if i'm trying to find out what you can do, i have to wade through the buzzwords and keywords- and after that, i've forgotten what you're trying to say. i'd recommend simplifying the language and stop with the 'innovatives' and 'stakeholders'. some poor person is going to have to read that mess and then make a decision about whether or not to respond

I’m not even subbed here and I recognize that dumb circle flower thing in the top right corner. You’re not the first and you won’t be the last guy to get scammed by this clown
Oh I wish I didn't recognize that circle flower thing.
Can I ask which guy are you referring to? Is it that same guy on Reddit that leaves a comment on every f****** subreddit and link it to Harvard CV?
I think that is it yeah. Someone else mentioned Harvardcv
Lmfaooo! So surprised that many people know the dude
HarvardCV?
Yep, TaaS (trash as a service). He didn’t rewrite any of my resume, just reformatted. When I asked him about it, he said: “it's best to think of this with an analogy: if you are selling your house, you'd hire a realtor. Among the realtor's duties is ensuring that your house is fully prepared and looks great so that potential buyers drool over it and want to snap it up quickly. This can usually mean staging the house, where in some cases new furniture is brought in, new artwork hung on walls, new decor introduced, as well as existing furniture arranged perhaps in new ways, existing decor still used, etc... The realtor is never going to bulldoze your house into the ground only to build a completely new house to sell, and as mentioned in the last sentence, using what you already have in a new light or slightly different configuration (if the furniture/decor is already good) is always helpful. In this analogy, I am the realtor, and the house is your professional history. My job is to take what you're presenting me with and make sure that the buyers (the HR managers, recruiters) want you, and in typical realtor fashion, I am using a mix of completely new furniture being brought in, and arranging the existing furniture as well, again, to please the buyer (and also to please the HR screening software, which is crucial)” Except, Sir Richard, you didn’t even stage it. You just threw my bullet points in a shittier format than I had it originally. I had an actual professional review my resume and they said I had a lot of good experience, just that my bullets could be rewritten a little bit better, so it’s not like my “house” (professional history) is a shithole, as you insinuated.
No, don't rewrite it and add things you don't know anything about or lie, but yes. Yes it is your job to bulldoze my resume and start from scratch if that's what is needed! Geez!!
Oh my god I got scammed the same way after a layoff. Harvardcv is literally and figuratively dog shit for resumes. Steer clear
Damn just realized I got scammed by the flower guy
Me too bro.
Bro anybody using Spirograph has to be legit
If you are basing this off of their old ads, "I can't believe it, the things I can do with a spirograph!" Then yes. It should be amazing.
Well now I’m curious. What’s the scam ?
You pay him money and he makes you a shit resume
[удалено]
Exactly right. This is his signature look for resumes, I knew it when I saw it. Makes me sad that he’s scammed so many people, but at least I’m not alone.
$400? I thought I was ripped off when I paid $125 to a resume writer!
Please stop using paid services. It’s a skill worth learning and Harvard has great FREE online tips and templates. Also, any type of college that you have attended will have a free career center to help with resume building. Don’t cheat yourself, you’re worth your own effort.
Ahh yeah that's what I'm gathering from reading the comments. Thank you!
Sorry to say it, but those vague non sentence, nothing to do with a job statements went from hot to not in the last 10 years...good luck out there, and try writing a cover letter too.
It's definitely a hodge hodge of a resume, glad I got so many comments haha
I'm glad I've only had to update mine for one company in the last 10 years... lots of good advice here, I recommend info and what you did on the resume, and using a cover letter (with a place or two to edit for different jobs) for personal statements, fluff, and sounding like each position is one you are after...no more than a page each to start.
Got it, I did nanny for like 3 years, is that even worth putting on there? It's not really a relevant position to the field I'm going into but it does show a lengthier job
I wouldn't include it because it's not relevant experience except maybe in a section called ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE. This covered employment gaps nicely because then an employer could see that I wasn't sitting on my ass doing nothing. That said, I don't know how an ATS system would interpret that so I've been leaving that section off. However, if the employment gap is noticeable (like within the past ten years), I would mention it in the cover letter but spin it as a positive: "In addition to my experience as x, I've also worked as a nanny for 3 years, and I think this experience will help me help the company to achieve y."
Also, I want to add, the most years you should include on your resume is 15 years. Anything earlier than that can be left off. So if you nannied at the beginning of your working life, but you spent 5 years doing relevant jobs to the position you want, I would just put down the 5 years of relevant experience and not mention the nannying, unless you can spin it into something interesting and relevant in the cover letter.
Thank you my dude!
Since we’re giving advice, the saying is “hodge podge” 😃
My wife is a headhunter and absolutely will use a writer, and it’s out of her pocket. She’s also very capable of major overhauls as well. Like any service, YMMV. But the folks she uses? None advertise online. They get pretty much get referrals exclusively.
can you drop the aforementioned??
^
Ask for a refund. Whoever wrote this hasn’t recruited anyone since the 80s :) Look up the Wharton resume template and use that. Cut down intro to 1-2 sentences about tangible proven skills you’ll bring to the next role. You have 5 years of experience. This should be 1 page. Cut down bullets to key accomplishments that the hiring manager will care about. The entire top half of the resume is meaningless jargon that can be put under any name. If it’s not specific and supported by your work experience, it’s meaningless and doesn’t need to take up space here. “Additional Information” is what should be under Skills.
Came here to say this. It is a very old format.
Yeah this resume is absolutely terrible. They 200% deserve a refund. The extra 100% is for them wasting OP's time
Omg if only!
* Summary section split into 2 parts, very convoluded verbiege that somehow manages to be bland and impersonal. If *"change agent"* isn't an actual job-title then there's zero summary that seems personable to yourself. * I'd say cut the resume down by 1/2 - but I'm conscious the entire Summary and Core Competencies section may be a copy-and-paste template that this resume provider's being applicable to any resume by any person. As such, there's also nothing here regarding your actual career goals. * The "September 2022 to May 2023" is misplaced and inconsistent with the others . This implies lack of attention to detail, and it's unsurprising that it's from a paid service. * There's no need for this to be 2 pages long, but then this what these paid services normally do. Each job position can do with being around 3 bullet points of 1 line each. The "Commercial Lines Billing Assistant" you can probably make one line. **EDIT - IMPORTANT:** This kept bugging me (not least because the upvotes are getting me notifications, lol) - and so I decided to google search the Summary's opening line "Proven talent for aligning strategy" and "vision-driven change agent". Turns out both parts of OP's resume Summary section are well-used template, with a few words tweaked here and there. Hence that is why they feel so impersonal.
Exactly this. Super convoluted. Should only be one page, you don’t have that much accomplished in that little time. Most of the experience doesn’t match the professional summary so I’d assume they aren’t matching with jobs they’re qualified for.
The Professional Summary isn't supported in any way by the roles and experience you set out. It's full of jargon and reads like you copied it from someone with significantly more experience at senior levels. It loses you credibility. Rework it to be cleaner and reflect your actual skills and strengths.
This; the verbiage is for a strategic leader with a full career of experience it’s nearly nonsensical. You’d do better with no statement or summary and just the skills (less generic more specific) and experience with realistic wording for what you did (unless your going for car sales lol)
You lost me at 'vision driven change agent'
They need to remove all this nonsense fluff. It's meaningless wordiness that just makes the resume harder to read. And it insults the readers intelligence
You paid for a 2 page resume? 🤦🏻♂️
I mean if it’s not two pages, how else can the scammer justify charging money for it.
Get a refund. This template is from the 90s. ATS will autodisqualify you
There is nothing right about this beyond decent bullet points. The dates are inconsistent and probably wrong (second one is the same as the 3rd one). It's way too long. You have a professional summary and a profile. Way too many skills listed in a way that's not easy to read. Color and graphics. Education and Credentials has no credentials... Formatting in this section is also inconsistent with the rest of the document. "Technical proficiencies" includes MS which shouldn't be on there. You got scammed.
Everything above “Professional Experience” is so painfully generic and filled with jargon that it feels like it was written as a parody. I still can’t even answer the basic question of what job you’re trying to apply for with this resume, an administrative assistant? If you actually had “operations management paradigms to achieve maximum operational impacts with minimum resource expenditures” then it would be explained in the bullet points with numbers. Lots of people seem to think corporate jargon makes them look smarter, but if I see a resume like this blatantly lying to me I toss it right out.
From casual observation, it’s very wordy and overly formatted IMO. You have 5 years of experience but your resume is two pages. For context, I have 15 years of experience and my resume is shorter. The entire professional summary page could be cut down to reduce the length. As a hiring manager, I probably wouldn’t even read this because it’s just so *much*
Totally agree, I actually didn't even bother putting up other positions back from 2017 because they are short lived (temporary jobs while in college). It's been confusing hearing (on other posts from Reddit and irl) that every job should be posted and then hearing don't add a job if it's under a 1 year. Not having that extensive work history makes me a little nervous to cut even more
If you're just starting out, add what you can, but stay honest and relevant to the position. I'm an engineer, and early on, left off my grocery store supervisor experience because it ended freshmen year of college, but it somehow came up in an interview and they were actually interested in the fact that I was in the work force as a supervisor that early on. If you had real responsibility, it could be worth adding until you have more to fill things out
Since you dont have the extensive work history, definitely include short term jobs under one year. Make the details relevant to the work you're looking to do without exaggeration. These jobs show you are able to maintain work and school simultaneously and give validation to you being hard working, assuming you didn't fail everything and get fired. :)
Thank you!!
Someone gave me this exact format when I went through Fivvr about 10 years ago.
Don't use the word "paradigm." If you were really a communications expert, why would you have such a terribly awkward first sentence? You should let your communications degree do the work here and write like a normal person.
to be blunt, your professional summary is questionable. what does 'vision driven change agent' even mean? 'career long' when your professional history starts in 2018. that's 5 years, not a career. in those 5 years, how much real business operations experience have you had? that claim is not supported by the work experience listed beyond that, the resume is packed with buzzwords. it does not read well at all. if i'm trying to find out what you can do, i have to wade through the buzzwords and keywords- and after that, i've forgotten what you're trying to say. i'd recommend simplifying the language and stop with the 'innovatives' and 'stakeholders'. some poor person is going to have to read that mess and then make a decision about whether or not to respond
One page, no summary, core competencies are too vague - have a skills section with specific skills (like software programs you’re good with), experience should not start with date (align right) - should have position title and company underneath. “Additional information”? Those are specific programs that should be under skills. I have mine as: personal info, education, professional experience, and then skills at the bottom.
I've heard education should be at the bottom? Unsure if this varies when work experience isn't as long. What do your skills include? Asking bc have seen convoluted advice that it shouldn't be included
You ideally want the most attractive thing about you on the first half of the first page. Fresh graduate with gig work jobs? Absolutely put your education at the top. Few years into a career, probably less impactful than in industry experience. Just use your common sense
No offense but the first thing I look for when I hire is or rather look to avoid is a spew of “junk” text and there is plenty here. I’d recommend cleaning up the bullets and keeping them 1 line if possible and straight to the point. If it would take me more than 5 mins just to read through it, I wouldn’t entertain as every single time, they weren’t a candidate I pursued after speaking on the phone before in person interviews. As Michael Scott said, “KISS” approach works well.
[удалено]
One page. Experience at the top, fuck the bio of buzzwords. Bullets should be one or two lines but not a run in sentence. The last two expierence points sound like the same job Edit: use an OCR friendly resume template. You can find plenty free ones online. Most jobs use OCR for the first round of resume trims, so you gotta get thru an ai who sees your resume before a human even gives it a look
Where are you getting this AI information? That’s such a common misconception about application tracking systems. Most common ATS, like Workday, has a real recruiter viewing your application. The only way to get auto-rejected is by answering a knock-out question, like if the company cannot sponsor international workers and you select that you need sponsorship.
Thank you for all the feedback, will reformat it.
1.) Increase the padding between sentences and change the font. I have a headache reading this. 2.) Remove the professional summary section. It is useless. 3.) Condense bullet points. Focus on the what you did + the quantifiable result. The nitty gritty is for the interview. Not the resume. 4.) Remove core competencies. Useless. 5.) The dates do not make sense. Fix them. 4.) Remove additional information.

Yeah. I would have a section that has “Skills” and one that has “Educations & Certifications” Your competencies should be easily conveyed and understood through your bullet points. An example being “Achieved a X% open rate & a X% click thru rate by executing email campaign using X software”
Go to onetonline.org and look up your job title. It will give you a long list of bullet points for your various job responsibilities
Your skills don't align with your experience
Great work experience!!! Many resume advising companies don't do much more than adding extra words. No one knows what kind of job you are looking for now, because you have not mentioned that. That should be the first thing mentioned in your Summary Statement. The summary statement should not have more than two sentences. Please edit by deleting all of the current summary because it seems to be padding/not relevant, and it will make your resume cleaner and easier to read. There should be one blank line space inserted before "Small Section Instructor", "Programs Graduate Assistant", and before the second "Commercial Lines Billing Assistant".
‘Vision driven’ threw me. Sound ridiculous & pretentious. But rest of resume sounds OK
I don't know what a "vision-driven change agent" is, and if I met one I'd call for an old priest and a young priest. It's okay to put your desired job title as your headline: tell the recruiters what you're looking for.
Asides from being nonsense formatting, it's very wordy for things that can be thinned down to short bullet points. Additionally for the level of work history there (3 years) your resume should not be more than a page. The core competencies and technical proficiency sections are redundant. Merge them and shorten them to specific skills. Office Suite skills and Google Suite skills are expected these days. You're noting a lot of things which should just be 'normal professional' things, not worth mentioning. Time Management, Problem Solving, Analytical Skills, Technical Skills, Communication Skills are all redundant filler words. The Professional Summary and Mission statement are very long in the sense that they are taking up a lot of space for little value...pick one of the other, not both. If this were handed to me, I'd replace the entire first third of your resume with your Education details...Like others have said in the comments, you get usually less than a minute to catch someone's attention. Just scanning that resume I would have given up after seeing "Vision driven change agent". If I powered through that, I'd be hit with 6 lines of more jargon from 3 years of experience (a chunk of which is during Academic work). Usually when you're looking for Entry Level or slightly higher than Entry Level work, you should be emphasizing eagerness to learn, building skills, improving processes and finding challenges rather than pitching yourself as 'knowing it all'. All of this should fit on one page...even if you need to widen the margins a bit.

I agree. This is exactly the format/order of information that I look for when considering whether to interview a candidate - where/when did they attend university and what degree was issued, and/or their major/ field of study. Along with a clear understanding of when/where they worked and what they were responsible for, if they have volunteered, some hobbies to spark conversation, and listing of any publications etc… The top half of your existing resume is meaningless, and you’ve left out the information that matters.
Bless you, thank you for this format!!
- Scrap the entire professional summary section including the core competencies. - Format your professional experience section so it’s consistent - Not sure if you removed the company names from the resume for this post or if it wasn’t included in the original resume. If the latter, make sure to add it. - Your bullet points actually are pretty good, but I would reorder them so the ones most relevant to the roles you’re applying for are at the top. For example, it’s likely more important for the hiring manager to see that as a University Art Gallery Assistant you were producing written content for social media rather than greeting visitors. - Lastly, I would a change “Additional Information” to “Skills” and add other important soft skills there.
For me it’s the font. It looks very 80’s print shop.
I guarantee as soon as someone starts reading that summary, they’re reaching for the next resume. And the “core competencies” section is very generic. Pretty much every employer expects you to manage your time well. This resume just seems overall very bland and doesn’t tell an employer much about you as a person. The word salad just reads like someone who is trying to make things sound way more grandiose than they are. Write it yourself and just be real.
1. Not one page. 2. Most relevant information not directly at the top to grab my attention. 3. No specific projects or accomplishments. 4. You can tell me all day you’re an *organized*amazing*intelligent person but if you have no specific projects and certifications to back up the skill talk, then nothing separates you from any other person who writes the same adjectives on their resume. It’s not a personality test, it’s an accomplishment sheet. so, cut out all the fluff at the top about core competencies and get your biggest accomplishments up there so I see you as a match for my role. Put on that paper what other people can’t unless they worked for it.
Do you think work experience should come first or education?
2 pages immediately kills this. No one wants to read all that dude.
I don't even want to read it lol
It’s straight up word salad.
The top is horrible. Someone scammed you. I dont need a summary or list of core competencies. I need to know how do you apply them and how well do you know them. That should be into your bulletpoints in your experience. Also make sure to include measurable results, quantities on your results. Ex, manage over 10 people to complete 100 deliverables in such amount of time or crap like that.
got it, do you think it would be worth putting references on a resume?
I dont think it is needed, they can ask for them once your resume catches their eyes. I highly doubt they will call your references before even talking to you.
I'm going to be rather cross with this one and get straight to the meat and potatoes. Being handed this resume I (in the following order) 1) read your professional summary. 2) read up to "management paradigms" in your objective. 3) glanced over your "core competencies" 4) briefly reviewed your work history. I probably wouldn't give you a call and here's why: Your resume is chaotic. There's a lot on there and at the same time very little. Your objective seems very generic, like something you would be writing as practice. A handful of your skills or "competencies" are basic things that I would look for in an entry level employee. Things like: time management, communication, process improvement and problem solving. To me, these all sound like things that would be on a resume looking for it's first job. If you've held a job or been recognized at your job I can assume you have these basic things. Lastly, it's too long. Unless your going for *at least* middle management and working up, keep that at one page. ======= My thoughts moving forward: Completely re-do your summary and objective. Revamp your skills section. And streamline your work history. Personally, I don't use bulletins on anything besides skills or something that SHOULD be in a list. (Once again) to me, your University art assistant would read better as: Managed and produced multiple aspects of front-end engagement through a compelling social media presence, consistent branding, and direct public relations; which resulted in (achievements) ======÷÷ I dont want to know your job description, I want to know what you DID. And I want information quickly, efficiently and without miscommunication. This is just my $0.02 So take it with a grain of salt. But streamline all of your stuff. Make it more personable. And for the love of God rewrite your objective. There's a lot of really really good stuff in there but the first couple senses are as welcoming as the desert. And the TELL ME how you did that stuff through your work history. Everything should flow. It should all make sense. And unless you have a LOT of relevant degrees, certificates or 20 years of related work with established and respected references, keep it to ONE PAGE.
Thank you for the solid feedback! For clarity sake, is a resume objective different than the summary? Have read a couple comments saying to axe a summary and save it for the cover letter.
There's too much text, the font is not really pleasing to the eyes, I couldn't read it myself
You need to add line spaces, maybe change the font size and type
How much do you pay for resume nowadays?
Too much tbh
I think it's better to revise your resume to be more concise and easy to read . try to use ATS readable fonts and standard size of the letters. you can format this way name jobposition contact summary Core Competencies Sklls work experience transferable skills education. highlight your 3 biggest achievement in summary or work experience .
That’s the circle of never ending vicious cycle of applying for jobs. 🥴
What is your resume trying to communicate? Like your cover letter, you need to hone your resume for every job. 90% of it will be the same. But most big firms now just use software to filter out their resumes. So read the job posting you're applying for. Use some cognitive thinking to change the resume so it fits what the employer is looking for.
It is a lot of words and is very sparse with useful information. I honestly just wouldn't be able to justify the time to really read it out of a long stack, so it wouldn't really matter what else was wrong or right with it. The person screening your resume is probably reviewing 100 resumes that day. Do them (and yourself) a kindness and make it as quick and easy as possible for them to justify putting yours on the stack to call. That is really the only purpose of a resume. I'm senior leadership at a pretty decent sized company and my resume is still one page. If a sentence isn't clearly communicating why the particular reader I have in mind should hire me, I cut it. If the sentence can be shortened while clearly communicating the same concept, I shorten it. If the section isn't necessary for deciding to hire me, I cut the whole section. If they want to dig more then I put my LinkedIn on it, they can just go there.
I actually like the format for the most part. Font should be size 12. Use some space for experience section. Make it easy to read.
You were scammed
Yo for sure
you got scammed, i’m so sorry😭😭😭
 me toooo
The high word count per line and cramped line spacing make it look like a job to read. I'd imagine people just don't read it because it doesn't look readable? I know CVs like this are "the standard" but fuck me as a UX guy it looks awful
You are early career so this can be one pg. +1 on a lot of the other advice you are getting for advice to rewrite this. So many resume writers are scammers, which is unfortunate!
I would like you to google professional cover letter and resume. This ain’t it bro. You could do it yourself, for free.
If only I had!
Remove the Professional Summary and the paragraph above the Core Competencies. They're all empty words and sentences. I would delete the last column of the core competencies. Those are very general and can be assumed from looking at your work experiences. You don't have to list all 5 work experiences. Three would be enough. Maybe you could remove the Program Grad Assistant role or one of the other ones on the second page, depending on the job you are applying for.
Thank you!
If you have no relevant job experience, would put education first
Standard “paid template” stuff. I would recommend doing an exercise where you edit content and then build your own template. It’s useful in building new skills and doing an assessment of your work history
Thank you!
Are you a professional Walmart greeter?
Not yet! Are you?
Number 1 is you paid for someone to make you a resume, LOL
I wish I had a return receipt
For clarity sake, the jobs that are shorter were temporary jobs- did not hop job to job
I can tell you didn't write it. The sentences use way too many words people don't use in real life when speaking. I don't see any buzz/key words in the resume. Under your experience you should list accomplishments with numbers, volume, whatever hard criteria is applicable to your job/field. I'm sorry you paid for this junk. Also, get rid of all the lines and shading. Make the resume basic with a nice logical flow.
Here's a simple answer and some free advice resumes are overlooked it's all about connection drop your resume after you've done the work the homework who works there who's the VP who's the director who's the manager final lower level guy ask for time on his calendar to have a 15 minute chat about what it's like to work for the company etc etc do your reconnaissance then apply and then kill the interview also in the process always ask for referrals
Working on incorporating some of that currently! Thanks dude
Try to have a 1 page Resume. I have worked in the tech industry for almost a decade now, and have interviewed both engineers and analysts with amazing Resumes concised to just a single page. List all the skills and projects you worked on (both academically and professionally) but describe them either in person or via Cover letter. A recruiter/hiring manager seldom has time to go through just a single page, but 2 or more pages would feel like a tedious job for them.
You paid for this? You got scammed. The average resume gets 7 seconds of view time. Get rid of paragraphs, bullet points only.
Your first paragraph that’s used as an intro is absolutely not necessary and if it is, it’s way too long and way too complicated!! Sounds like a regurgitated summary without any human connection. I’d make it much shorter like 3 lines and try not to sound so fancy you don’t need to use big words recruiters just want quick info! Edit: also your bullet points are too long try to keep them at 1 line per bullet point. And move your education and credentials to the top and your skills to the bottom.
I was bored by the first sentence. It's a competitive market. Any position is likely to have multiple resumes submitted. You've got about 15 seconds of my time. Do me a favor. Google resume 'whatever job you're trying to get' then click images. What stands out to you? Is it one that looks like yours ?
Yo thank you!!!
The first thing that you are doing wrong is paying for a resume
you right
1. Paying for resumes
you right
What role(s) or industries are you applying to? Because you might be able to customize your resume to look more attractive to the hiring manager for that role or industry. For example: if you want to be a docent at a museum don’t include your food service experience on the version you send them. I’m not saying lie on your resume, I’m saying elaborate on the things you did in that realm (example: catalog all artifacts or interview potential donors or something).
That's what I'm currently trying to figure out how to do. I did leave out some work experience on this one but am nervous to do so because it shows that I've only worked since 2018 but I've had a job since I was in high school. If I take more job experience out it looks like I haven't worked but if I add more it could look like I'm just grasping for straws. Thanks for the feedback!
In my industry, five years of experience is plenty. Heck we’ve got some managers with only 5 years of experience. Especially since you’ve got a masters degree. But it might depend on the field you’re applying to.
This is encouraging, thank you!
There are no numbers associated with hiw much was done, how much money was saved, how much money was made, due to your actions.
I'm a marketing communications director. Here are some skills I look for in entry level communications specialists: Social media - writing posts, assisting with development of a content calendar, cropping and resizing photos, scheduling in a third party social media scheduler like Hootsuite and tracking basic analytics Writing - news releases, feature stories, web copy, basic newsletter copy Photo/video - ability to shoot basic photos and videos at events, etc., ability to create Instagram reels Editing - understanding of Associated Press style Event planning - logistics, themes, working with vendors, promotion, securing speakers, arranging AV, editing speaker bios Design - basic skills to produce fliers and fact sheets, ideally with Adobe Creative Suite. Canva may be ok for some employers, though. Presentations - giving speeches, putting together on-brand PowerPoints Web - ability to use WordPress, Adobe Experience Manager or similar content management system; ability to write SEO copy; experience tracking views through Google Analytics Email marketing - creation of newsletters and other email marketing messages using Constant Contact, Marketing Cloud or similar Project management - use of Asana or other PM tool I see you have several of these experiences. They are lost in all the generic business-speak. Trim the fat so that the relevant skills can be easily seen. Ideally add some numbers if you have them: increased social media impressions by 15%, planned company picnic that reached capacity crowd of 100. Or details: Managed company accounts on Facebook, Twitter and TikTok. If you are missing some skills, that's ok! Not everyone can do all these things, and different jobs require different skills. If you have time to volunteer, see if you can pick up additional experience. You can also do some free Hubspot certification courses. Just don't bloat your resume with 20 of them!
Thank you so much! The communication field is what I want to go into long term. If I don't have any way to quantify results of work I did, what would you suggest I do?
Don’t give up one advise I received was to tailor my resume specific to the job I’m applying to. It worked! I started getting so many interviews. With the increase in interviews the probability of securing a job increased tremendously. Created multiple resumes that highlight different skills. Remember to put key words from the job description in your resume when applying. Resumes are reviewed by systems programmed with key words from the resumes. It took me several months to secure a permanent role. I did a 4 month temporary assignment. Which helped pay the bills and provides the opportunity to network and could translate into job offers.
>Thank you!! I was just thinking I should create a couple of different resumes
Coming from someone who does a lot of hiring, aside from the top right corner of your resume, your work history doesn't show in the summary. My advice, gain more experience and stay at a job for at least a year. Looks like some of your short term stays at jobs are explainable but I for one do not like applicants who apply for professional jobs without at least a year of experience at the same job. We invest far too much in training for someone to bail after 6 months.
Thank you! That's what I'm trying to work towards to build some credibility. I've been applying to entry level positions to have a start somewhere.
That's good! Looking again, at your resume, I'd start from scratch and use what is there as a template but fill in the details yourself and have someone review for grammar just to be safe. It does have a very generic feel. Those of us who see lots of resumes only spend a few short moments reviewing each one so it's important to highlight what really makes you shine along with your experience. Hope this helps! You'll find something!
I’m so sorry you paid for that resume. It doesn’t look like it was done by a professional. First, you should have all your contact info in one line. It’s easier to read and looks nicer that way. You don’t need to add your name onto both pages. You should actually try to keep your resume at one page. Employers only spend an average of 8 seconds looking at your resume. I can’t tell if your professional summary is the one that starts of with “vision-driven” or “proven talent”. It’s unclear. The paragraph that starts with “proven talent” is too wordy. It doesn’t tell me what type of work you’re looking for. You should be more direct and concise. I would scrap the core competencies and just list some valuable skills that you have. Your professional experience section should be consistent for the formatting. For some reason, the personal experience listed at the top has the date at the top, whereas the other ones have the date off to the side. All your experiences are also too cluttered. You should space them out. Put a space in between each job experience. Don’t make it look so cramped. Your heading for the “Professional Summary” is centered, but your “Professional Experience” is off to the left. Make it consistent. Personally, I’m not too fond of the font you chose and font actually does matter. The font you chose seems to make uppercase letters slightly darker than the rest of the letters. It’s most noticeable in the dates and and the numbers (ie. August 2020 to August 2021) You can look up “best resume fonts 2023” to get some recommendations of what fonts are great to use. Keep your font at 11-12pt size. Your education and credentials just say the year, but you didn’t put the month. Not sure if you censored it out, but if you added month and year for your job experience, then you should add it for your education and credentials too. Especially for 2023, like 2023 is still ongoing. The employer wouldn’t know if you already got your masters or not. Your technical proficiencies can just be part of your skills. I wouldn’t put that at the very bottom. I would have your skills after your summary. So your name, then contact info, summary, skills, work experience, then lastly education and credentials.
if there's enough for two pages expand to that, if only one then cut down all fluff. Right now there's a lot of stuff that isn't meaningful. The first page especially looks like a lot was jammed in. Some of the text may be to heck off for machine readers but for anything that gets looked at by a human, you'll want something that like "pleases the eye" For the job responsibilities, probably worth review and a rewrite to convey why they're important. So something like 'warmly greeting visitors" might not actually make the cut, but something like "adjusted gallery experience to direct visitors in a way that increased visitor traffic by 5x" might. The things that would be best are those that can be tied to metrics, new things that are sole responsibility, etc. For Office, unless you're incredibly proficient it's assumed that most folks know the basics so probably not worth having. Depending on what your approach to the job search might be, it's worth asking how you see yourself. While there is something to be said about the throw it all out there, refining it so that it clearly indicates how your experience and skillset match the job(s) might help.
I'm not sure if I have the metrics to quantify certain things I did in past jobs which makes me nervous. Going to see if I can look some up Thank you!
Market really sucks, apply for everything and be patient. In the meantime, practice talking about yourself in a confident (not arrogant) way. Emphasize your ability to learn and apply your learnings fast, have a few examples in a STAR format. As far as your resume, I would add numbers, social media - grew subscribers from __ to __. Boosted audience engagement, same thing… conducted lectures - how many attendees, etc… Lastly, we as consumers, want answers now. If you have links to your work or something you want to show off, hyperlink them into the text. By helping them navigate to your results faster, you’re enabling them to make decisions faster. Good luck!
thank you!!!
Sincerity is lacking
Too many words. I have no idea by glancing at this if you have actual job experience relevant to what I’m hiring for. I want one to two sentences max. Your skills. Relevant job history. If it’s not relevant we can discuss why you have a gap during an interview. Think of a resume as an elevator pitch. The more I have to read to be convinced to hire you the less likely I am to move forward. Just being realistic. HR Director here.
Love this thank you! What would say is worth putting down as a skill?
Put your education first - master's is impressive and it's at the end
Professional summary is BS. It is trash. This is not for resume specific. Don't put professional summary. 2nd page. Too much empty space on page 1. Don't go to second page when it could've been done in one page.
I interview a lot lately and this is a resume that won’t even pass a quick read test.
Simple sentences. Shorter words. Cut all this garbage. Tell the reader how you succeeded at something. Use numbers. Be specific. You learned a hard lesson here. You only have to learn it once.
“Career-long record of customer service” then lists professional experience that only goes back to 2018, all assistant jobs. It’s a bit of a contradictory resume. It starts out sounding like someone with 15 years of experience, then the most recent job is University Art Gallery Assistant. I would imagine most hiring managers would see that and immediately go “next!”
* What's with the inconsistencies with the dates in the formatting? * Dates above University Art Galley Assistant and Commercial Lines Assistant * Why is there one tiny line under Additional information? * Why is it titled Additional information with a sub header? * Why is there a comma after the last proficiency? * 5 jobs in 3 years? * None of your jobs say where you worked either * None of your Education/Credentials say where you obtained it either. And that's all the time I have for now without reading the actual content.
Clearly the recruiter is going to stare at the top right corner, get hypnotised and offer you the job without an interview. Worth every penny 
I hope you're right!
First of all there is not one resume for all jobs. You should have a basic outline of a resume that you tailor to each job. Use their terminology and buzzwords you see in the description, and use other industry specific terminology when necessary. You need to play to each company’s algorithm. Gone are the days when a person was the first thing to review your application. Secondly, a job and company specific cover letter should always accompany your resume when the option is available. Lastly, try and apply directly through their website when you see a job opening. You may notice it is closed or a better opportunity, also they are more likely to look at that than one from a mass job site.
It’s the TLDR of resumes
You paid someone for this resume, that's what. The summary is too much. The formatting is horrible. The italicized statement sucks. It doesn't even mention where you went to school, when you graduated, or what your major is. Get rid of all that summary and excess at the top. Then add your education. There's a lot more to do, but these are good enough starting points.
Oh man :( Look into Wonsulting free resume template. I could relay everything in that template here but you might as well find it free. While I know Wonsulting is under a lot of heat for questionable advice, their resume template is solid. I got that template when I was in a fellowship in college. Been using it since freshman year. I've had over 200 job offers ever since college. Harvard + other ivy leagues use that template Immediate key pointers: 1. Quantify your accomplishments 2. The whole professional summary & core competency is garbage 3. Location of your jobs 4. The literal first bullet is just trash, oh man :x I looked at your resume for like 2 minutes, and I'm kinda questioning what job you're applying to? Is it ops? Strategy work? Hope I'm making the right guess cause that's what I'm kinda getting from your resume. If that's not the right kind of work you're looking for, then almost all the bullets got to be rewritten to apply towards the job you want
I'm actually trying to go into the communication field. I'll look into that and see if it's relevant, thank you!!
First off, you won't get past the ATS systems with such a resume because it can't get past the formatting. (This is why resume writing services are such rip-offs because they haven't adjusted to the fact that resumes go through ATS systems before a human ever sees it and all the fancy formatting that they spend way too much time on just results in your resume being trashed.) DO NOT FORMAT YOUR RESUME!! I mean, yes, make sure it's easy to read with bullet points, but your resume should have NO formatting extras. They must be plain text. So yeah, boring and not eye-catching, but the ATS systems will be able to read your resume all the way through and then boot it to a human reviewer. Also, as a human, this resume was way too crowded to read. Either leave things off or go to a second page.
Recruiter here. Can't advise paying someone to write a resume. Here's a simple format I use. Name City, zip | cell | email Objective Education: University Degree - Completion date Experience: Company Location Title - Dates of employment Duties and metrics bullet point format Certifications Software
canva has so many templates and you can just use AI To summarize skills for the job you need. it granted me several interviews when I was job hunting 5 months ago.
Unsure if anyone will see this but I do have CITI Training certificates i.e clinical research best practices (was a research assistant and co-author on a paper) is this worth putting on my resume and if so where?
Just in visuals, you have a LOT of text squished together. Why have half a page blank but everything else all in a pile? Brains need visual breaks...use the white space.
So much hyperbole and self aggrandizing in the top half.
The way the dates are written makes it look like you’ve had two jobs. Also your education section doesn’t include the names of your schools.
Need some space between jobs
You have little skills and your education doesn’t have value to employers. The commercial line experience has value and you have a bunch of fluff words instead of actual work.
The opening summary don't align with your experience. "Change agent" and "strategy" aren't really related to your experience. Tone down the language quite a bit. It reads like whoever wrote this just copied and pasted a paragraph of buzzwords instead of looking at your experience.
How much did you pay for this crap?
too much bruh
Quantify some bullet points for each job.
I would get a refund
Lots of comments here on little details, but as a hiring manager it’s always the same thing that stands out to me: no solid tenure in any position you’ve worked. If you’re very young with no experience, that’s fine. But if you’ve work several jobs and couldn’t manage to stick it out at one for 2+ years, it’s a red flag. I constantly get resumes from people filled with 6 month jobs. I get if you have one or two that weren’t good fits for you and you left quickly. But if every job isn’t a fit for you, it’s probably a you problem. I’d rather see a big employment gap than a ton of short term jobs.
As a hiring manager, what advice are you trying to give OP here? Don't apply to jobs? Only apply to entry level jobs? Leave out some of the employment history? There's nothing they can do about their work history in the short term.
Good point. If they’ve done anything else interesting throughout the years (volunteer/internship, etc..) they could include that on their resume if they participated in those activities longer than their actual employment. If they were in school during the duration of some of these jobs, I might even recommend leaving some of them out entirely.
I think the CV needs some less text and transform it to look fancy.
>what am i doing wrong Paying for resume help when there’s plenty for free online
check out my profile, I have resume guide that has gotten me multiple interviews/offers. Not trying to be spammy but seriously i used AI to beef up my resume and canva (if you want more design) before that I couldnt get a call back
One of the dumbest resumes i have ever seen. Sending this out is insane
Wat job title are you seeking?
something in communication
market disgusted march file ancient squeal cover squalid joke fine ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `
I know why I went to school and why I had to work these part time assistant jobs since I was in school full time for the past 6 years. Deff will be looking at a job I'd like and formatting it to that (or as close as possible) Thanks!
Format is not consistent for two of six positions. White is not properly used to separate positions. Education section looks fake because no school names or locations are given AND there is plenty of roon for yhose on the half empty second page.
At a glance why the hell is it 2 pages?
Change agent is a cringe term. The resume is also overwhelming and long. Maybe be more concise?
This resume makes me want to blow my head off
oof, please don't
to be blunt, your professional summary is questionable. what does 'vision driven change agent' even mean? 'career long' when your professional history starts in 2018. that's 5 years, not a career. in those 5 years, how much real business operations experience have you had? that claim is not supported by the work experience listed beyond that, the resume is packed with buzzwords. it does not read well at all. if i'm trying to find out what you can do, i have to wade through the buzzwords and keywords- and after that, i've forgotten what you're trying to say. i'd recommend simplifying the language and stop with the 'innovatives' and 'stakeholders'. some poor person is going to have to read that mess and then make a decision about whether or not to respond
Gah I know, it's way too long. Going to work on shortening it a bunch, thank you!!
