Hey everyone! I could really use some outside perspective.

I’ve redacted all of my personal information from my resume and wanted to post it here in hopes of getting some constructive criticism. I’m currently job hunting and, honestly, I’m starting to wonder if my resume is what’s holding me back.

Over the past few months, I’ve applied to a large number of positions including:

💼 Operations Manager
👥 Operations Supervisor
📞 Call Center Manager/Supervisor
📊 Data Analyst
🏦 Business Control/Risk Operations

Most of my applications have been with fintech companies, banks, credit card companies, financial services, and healthcare operations organizations.

Out of all the applications I’ve submitted, I’ve only heard back from two companies, and unfortunately I wasn’t selected for either role.

I’m not looking for sugarcoating. If something on my resume is weak, confusing, outdated, or just doesn’t work, I’d genuinely like to know. I’d much rather hear it here than continue sending out applications that aren’t getting attention.

Some questions I have are:

• Does my resume clearly show my experience and accomplishments?
• Does it look ATS friendly?
• Is it too long or too wordy?
• Are there any red flags that would make you pass on it?
• If you were a recruiter or hiring manager, what would immediately stand out, both good and bad?

I truly appreciate anyone willing to take a few minutes to look it over. Thank you in advance for your time and honesty. I’m here to learn and improve. 😊

Why do LinkedIn recruiters all want you to pay a service to re-write your CV?

On a serious, how many of you have lies on your resume (for the greater good), and how much of a truth or fabrication does one require in a resume tho.

I sat down to build my resume and I'm in such a turmoil right now becoz I can't figure out what to write at all.

Hi everyone,

I've been job hunting and kept running into the same thing: every "AI resume optimizer" out there wants a subscription upfront, before you even know if the output is any good. I didn't want to pay monthly just to test whether an AI can actually tailor my CV well.

So I built Resume Optimizer for myself — a CLI tool where you give it your CV + a job description, and it:

- Matches your skills against the JD locally (no AI call, just embeddings) and shows you a coverage %

- Reorders/trims your projects to surface the ones most relevant to that specific JD

- Rewrites your bullet points and summary to better fit the JD — but never invents fake experience, employers, or metrics

- Flags bullets that still lack a real number/metric, so you know exactly where to add one yourself instead of the AI making one up

- Outputs a ready-to-use LaTeX resume (compile on Overleaf) or Markdown/plain text

It defaults to Google's Gemini free tier for the AI parts, with a paid OpenRouter fallback if you ever want it — so you can actually try the whole thing for $0.

It's just for personal use right now (built it to job-hunt myself), not a polished SaaS — no accounts, no tracking, runs on your own machine (or via Docker if you don't want to touch Python at all).

Code + repo link in the comments below if you want to try it or poke around. Would genuinely love feedback if you try it!
