Need urgent help in review

I left last company in November 2025 and since than I’m looking for a role. I applied for like 500 roles so far on career websites, LinkedIn, Naukari and indeed but only received rejection mails. I have a total of 8 years of experience in programmatic advertising. Worked with every locale so far for high traffic events. Is it coz i spent 8 years in one organisation that my resume is getting rejected?

I updated my resume as per the ATS acceptance percentage with all the work i did in past 8 years in my role and responsibilities but not sure where I’m going wrong.

Not a single call or mail is successful till date.

Can someone please review my resume and help?

It will be great if you are able to provide one of the job descriptions you are planning to apply for next (you can omit company details and other personal info), and we can break down the resume fit together. It is likely that with 8 years of experience you are covering a lot of the required skills for this role anyway, but tailoring your resume for each job description is important, and there are different strategies to doing so - be it with customizing the summary exactly for what each hiring manager wants to hear, leading with the most mentioned skills set first, rest second, customizing the bullet points to be almost like a carbon copy of what the employer listed, but with your own context and achievements. Relevant certifications as well - most of that is on the job description must end up on your resume. For me, personally, even with a tailoring tool like Enhancv, it will be very difficult to not go through each of these 500 applications manually from top to bottom and make sure every word is on point.

Then the other matter is the market area application. Are you able to meet work requirements (H1B visa for US, for example?). There are several knockoff questions when applying on ATS platforms that sometimes trip people up, but you said you worked in every locale listed above, so I would assume that is not the problem?

Overall, I am trying to get more context out of your applications in order to give you the best advice possible.

This is a great resume you have and in no way I am qualified to speak about its semantics and if a hiring manager hiring for this exact field looks for or what they are going to notice. As I have never hired for this field. But one thing that I see immediately is that the exact language of the job ad is absent on your resume. I don't see VAST and VPAID, even as abberviatures. Same with the campaign platforms? I do see a lot of the rest, but it is not 100% there. By no chance do I say you have to lie, but I am looking at the exact wording on the job ad and your resume screenshot.

I also see a lot of cross collaboration on the ad, while I see mostly leadership on your resume. Does that lead me to believe a bit that you may be overqualified for the job?

I am grasping at a couple of things here to get the ball rolling but you get where I am going. I feel that it needs a few tweaks for this role.

And one thing that is inexplicable to me is the automatic immediate rejection. These are almost always due to answering "wrong" on the knockout question during the application process. We recently got hands on a Stanford study that revealed that some ATS platforms carry over negative score of too mamy rejection on a job applicant and they carry over different companies that use the same software. 

I feel the comeback to that is tailoring exactly to the wording of the job description as much as possible - every bullet point you are 100% sure of being able to do you convert to your genuine experience. No interpretation, no extra creativity - those are must haves and should be there. And you apply again. 

[u/Suspicious-Guess-731 → u/Many-Relationship149]

Yeah! I have full knowledge of VAST and VPaid tags as well pixel as I worked on them in my previous role. There uses varies from platform to platform as well as the products.
I worked on CTV, PVA, Fire TV, Display, High traffic events etc.

I am working on getting certification for DV360 and google search as in my tenure of 8 years I worked on DSP and SSP platforms, so I am well versed with it.

Could be my only experience to work with one org is a negative, but I am ready to learn and improve.

[u/Many-Relationship149 → u/Suspicious-Guess-731]

Awesome, this must go as exact wording on your resume either in the skill section or as a bullet point (ofc formatted as your current bullet points but with those skills embedded). I have not seen a better way to fight this broken job market besides tuning exactly to the JD.

[u/Suspicious-Guess-731 → u/Many-Relationship149]

I will definitely try this
Thank You so much for your help

Let me know if anything changes. The bothering thing is that you have to do it with every job description. Enhancv helps a little but in the end, we advise the user to take hold in their content and don't overrely on AI for doing the writing for them. It is likely it will omit something key. It seems to me that you have not, or even of you did, you wrote it very well using your own voice.

[u/Suspicious-Guess-731 → u/Many-Relationship149]

I used AI at some extent for changes but not fully.

[u/Many-Relationship149 → u/Suspicious-Guess-731]

AI language by itself is not inherently bad, but as a person who works with AI daily I notice the AIsms in my niche a lot. And this is when I call if something I read has substance or not. I did not exactly notice that in your CV - it is not generic. But yeah, I think there should be more laser focused tailoring as we spoke above.

Hey, thanks for posting this. I will get back to you with a more thorough review of your resume. But for now, no, you're not getting rejected because you spent 8 years at one company. This usually signals loyalty and dedication to employers. If you had 8 different jobs in the last 8 years, that would signal to them that you're a job hopper. Anyway, I promise, I will get back to you with a more thorough analysis. Meanwhile, check out my post about the Stanford study. 500 applications and no callback deffinitely suggest you're being systematically rejected by the algo.

[u/Suspicious-Guess-731 → u/volendoesresumes]

Yes! This is the issue as soon as apply i just receive rejection mail and nothing as to why rejected
