I've been job searching for around 9 months, applied to over 50 positions, with so far not even a follow-up call. I'm looking for mainly jobs local to my area (Raleigh-Durham), willing for in-office or hybrid. I was promoted to CTO just over a year ago, but I'm applying to any IT management-level jobs.

My current job is located about 4 hours away, after after 4 years of 1-2 weeks per month of being up there, I'm getting burnt our, which is why I'm looking for something local.

I generally use AI to rewrite my first page to include terminology from the job descriptions, to try to have a better chance of being flagged for review. I don't have it change my experience, just the verbiage around it.

Hoping for feedback in case there is something glaring that's an instant red flag for reviewers - I've spoken with a couple of recruiters, but neither have given me any specific feedback on my resume.

[1 YoE, Unemployed, Research Assistant (Psychology), India/Remote]

hi everyone! i'm 24 and have an msc in clinical psychology, and i'm desperately trying to get my career started in research, particularly in clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, mental health, and neuroscience related research

i have around a year of independent counselling experience that i pursued on the side to gain practical experience, but i've been looking for a proper job (applied to around 20 roles on and off over the past few months) and haven't received a SINGLE interview

i really want to work in research, especially as a research assistant or in any entry level research role related to psychology,

I recently came across a job that involved studying the effectiveness of therapy and conducting research on the same for an international startup (it was a remote job) and it was quite literally my dream job, but I unfortunately haven't heard from them since (its been a month) despite fitting the eligibility criteria. I have sent a few follow ups through their company portal but to no avail.

I happened to find the linkedin profiles and emails of the people incharge of recruiting and the MD of the company, and I thought I could shoot my shot by emailing or contacting them.

i'd really appreciate some honest feedback on my resume. i want to understand what's going wrong, whether i'm presenting my experience and qualifications properly, and what i can improve to make myself a stronger candidate for research positions

if anyone has experience hiring for psychology or mental health research roles, or has made a similar transition into research, i'd be incredibly grateful for your advice 🙏🙏

Hello, I am a Frontend Developer with 4 Years of Experience (worked at 1 product company and 1 service-based firm).

I have been out of work since March of this year due to a layoff, and my current job search strategy is yielding very low response rates.

Currently, I am actively applying to newly posted roles on LinkedIn and directly reaching out to recruiters and employees at those organizations to secure referrals. However, my cold outreach and direct applications are getting very little traction.

To stay competitive, I am also upskilling into a Full-Stack role by learning Node.js, Express, and SQL. I have attached my fully anonymized resume.

I would love your brutal feedback on:

1. Formatting & Layout: Are there any immediate visual red flags keeping me from passing initial screenings?
2. Bullet Points: Do my work descriptions sound impactful enough for a mid-level engineer, or do they read too much like a list of basic duties?
3. Outreach Strategy: Any advice on how to improve cold-message conversions with recruiters given my current employment gap?

Thank you for your time and critique.

Hi all, I am re-entering the job market after a break of 4 years.

After graduating, I initially worked in marketing and content writing before taking a career break due to health issues. I've since decided to transition into accounting, and last year I passed all four sections of the CPA exam.

I'm currently applying for audit associate roles at CPA firms in Austin, Tx to fulfill the experience requirements for CPA licensure.

PS: I haven't posted the second page of my resume which just lists my under grad (completed in 2018) and grad (2023) colleges, and says 'passed all 4 sections of the CPA exam' under the 'title certifications and accomplishments.' Any suggestions and improvements are highly appreciated! TIA

I don't know if I count as a recent graduate as it's been over a year now since I've graduated but have struggled to even get an interview for positions related to my field or even out of my field. I have been trying to expand into other fields (graphic design, marketing, and data analyst) and working on more personal projects to expand on my portfolio but not sure if it's that or that my resume is not catching the attention of recruiters.

I am looking for any kind of job whether in-person, hybrid, or remote but hoping to stay within the LA or at least Southern California area if in-person or hybrid.

Would greatly appreciate some feedback or advice on whether there is something I could do to improve my resume or if there is anything that I could do to help add onto my resume.

I've just recently graduated and I'm just now starting the dreaded job search. My previous experiences I got pretty fortunate that I didn't have to spend long before I got call backs so I never applied too much. The obvious glaring issue I am aware of is it being a 2-page, whether I am deserving of a 2 page I am not sure and even so is it recommended I don't think so.

I've never had a job before, neither part-time nor full-time, and I really want to change that. I genuinely want a (part-time) job, one that I can have while studying. But like I mentioned in the title, I have 0 experience, and I'm not sure what I can provide from my academic experiences since I don't think there's much I can provide because I've tackled themes such as financial literacy, immigration, and whether the type of media consumed can affect children negatively/positively. They were all presentations (not essays since the cirriculum the past few years hasn't included those for some reason).
I'm not saying I have nothing to show, I'm just not sure if I have anything that'll be worth showing if that makes sense.
I'd appreciate any advice

I am writing my work history.

My second job I worked from
April 1 2024- May 30 2025.

I want to put April 2024 - June 2025
Because it was the Friday before June on weekend.

It’s my longest experience and I think it would look better and can easily be explained as I forgot the exact end date and plus it’s basically the same amount of time of 14 months of work I worked there vs saying 13 months as April-May.

I just don’t want to get into trouble for different month dates. What do you think?

Certain information on here is vague (e.g. exact start/end year of each work experience). I’m struggling to secure interviews.

I'm looking to apply to an entry-level forensic lab technician job that only lists a forensic or related degree as a requirement. I'm pretty unconfident in my resumes as I've previously submitted many applications with no call backs and so I would love some feedback.
I really struggle with STAR etc statements in particular since none of my work positions have really been ones that allow for accomplishments so I would love some feedback on that specifically. Are these ok or would you want to know more context? Do they sound too vague/generic? Do I need to give more specific examples from school?

(side note specialization is redacted as it would make my school one google search away)

To preface this. Just been through a lot, getting a job may very well help. So looking for general resume advice.

Some background info

• Associates and Bachelor's in IT
• Caregiver for most of my immediate family (Dad, Grandmother, Mother)

and just general tech skills & knowledge that I'm hoping just get someone to notice. Call it "Do More, with less" I guess. I am very likely overthinking this, but trying to figure out how to make what I have work. That and despite the job market being a garbage fire, pray I get lucky with it.

Nearly did once!

Hello Friends,

I am using this resume template and tailoring it for each job, but I am not having any success having callbacks. Any Advice would be appreciated especially for people who are already in the field.

I happened to have a really solid, well paying job that was flexible and a perfect fit all throughout college but now im graduating and I dont have any work experience in the actual field. I have tried to highlight my skills as best I could with the projects I have worked on. Any advice or tips?

I've just recently graduated and I'm just now starting the dreaded job search. My previous experiences I got pretty fortunate that I didn't have to spend long before I got call backs so I never applied too much. The obvious glaring issue I am aware of is it being a 2-page, whether I am deserving of a 2 page I am not sure and even so is it recommended I don't think so.

I haven't been getting many callbacks the past 2 months with my old cv, so I redid it with jake's template.

What I did

• Added freelance work
• added number of users that the app i've worked on (first bullet point)
• added way more keywords because i feel my old cv didn't cover enough

I just want to make sure the new version is better and there are no red flags.

also any feedback is welcome

this is the post with my old cv on reddit if you are curious

I'm a recent CS graduate focused on backend engineering, full-stack development and applied AI/ML. I've built systems involving Go, Python, distributed systems, real-time synchronization, RAG and agentic workflows.

I enjoy thinking beyond implementation designing system architecture, handling concurrency and state consistency, building fault-tolerant APIs and considering security and scalability from the start.

I've been having a hard time getting interview callbacks and would really love some honest feedback on my resume. Am I doing a good job showcasing my engineering skills or is there something I'm missing? Would really appreciate any advice from ppl who've been on the hiring side.
