Fuck you

>>28262173
honestly at a loss on a reply like that

>>28262131
Bump for a worker bro

>>28263230
don’t worry about it, they feel inadequate and lash out because of their situation

>>28262131
I’m jealous, I wish I was that skilled and had a resume that impressive. Compared to yours, mine makes me look like a retard and I think I just might be. Good job Anon

>>28262131
>published in IEEE
Did you see the IEEE presentation on Iota today?

>>28262131
What sort of job are you looking for? It's hard to offer advice, since I don't understand your audience. I can tell you right off the bat though that your resume bores the hell out of me. Here's a tip, what's one thing you want the reader to see immediately? Whatever that thing is, it should be where you currently have skills. That's the first place eyes look. Might be best to put your professional experience there.

>>28262173
>>28263230
He/she wrote that because you’re being modest and they probably interpreted it as you being smug. Like me this person thinks you’re impressive and would love qualifications as impressive as yours.

>>28263230
it's /biz/, for every thoughtful and insightful post you have to wade through 10-20+ developmentally disabled lonely retard posts.

regarding your resume, looks solid to me, i don't know much about control systems engineering but it's definitely interesting. i'm IT director for a PR company and won't post my resume but work's going good, besides numerous hours of absolute skullfuckery regarding SSL certificates earlier today (and tomorrow morning).

>>28263759
I was tempted to say something like this. I work for a small business though, and the resumes we usually get are worded with far less complexity. My boss is retarded and would probably overlook this resume because it’s too technical and he wouldn’t be able to make heads or tails of what he can do.
Maybe mull around the idea of making it easier to read? Most people who get a resume right off the bat aren’t the ones that’ll understand all the fancy stuff.

>>28263425
thanks fren, enjoy this (You)

>>28262131
Professional experience goes first. Possibly a publications section first if it was actually a solid piece.

>>28263570
Maybe Im sheltered because I mostly lurk. Either way my intent for this thread is for everyone to post their resumes here and ask career advice.

>>28263635
Not sure if serious but thank you either way, I was worried that the skills section at the top was putting people off as it might be too much?

>>28263827
I just don't understand why fags want jobs when you could have just bought chainlink? Like it isn't that hard to make $1m over 4 years working a part time job and living frugal at which point living modestly, maxing an IRA account, and browsing biz you'll make more money than any employer is going to pay you and you'll be able to do whatever you want instead of needing to be told what to do?

Are you people actually not happy unless someone has you on a leash? Or do you just like being told what to do to earn less than your potential in order to make someone else rich?

>>28263990
Wish you the best fren and good luck with the job hunt

>>28263830
I’m trying to get in on the non tech side of things in pr/ad/marketing any advice?

>>28263755
Oh shit no I didnt, im waiting for highlights on youtube to popup maybe now? I had learned of this conference only like half a year ago. Apparently they have regional ones. What have you taken away from it?

>>28262131
You're overqualified to post on this board, post your BTC moonboi tattoos or your McDonald's uniform or gtfo

>>28263759
In specific my experience is suited to industrial automation and control, but im trying to break into control in other sectors, like defense or aerospace. I feel like its about getting them to wanna take that leap. Ive been mostly self teaching and reviewing things that im not up to snuff on in those specific sectors.

My intent was to put skills in their face since so far, my experience is certainly related but not specific to defense. I think ill switch out my skills with experience instead then and try that out.

>>28263827
Yea I figured after I reread it man

>>28264185
I think for me it’s a lack of knowledge, risk aversion, and security. I don’t think you’re being serious but just incase you are. I don’t understand crypto well enough to just invest in things like oracles/etc because it’s too technical and something that I interpret as useful is nothing more than technical fluff to dupe lay people like me, for example, I fell a couple alts that seemed like good investments but they were shit also I have chainlink but I wasn’t here when it was shilled all those years ago and it’s funny because I’ve made more in the last 6 months than I have in 7 years from crypto but my lack of understanding and risk aversion is what’s keeping me from making the insane gains some of you have made here.

I wish I had a better resume, yours looks super solid. I'm sure you're gonna find a great job.

Just accepted a Account Manager position at a local startup. The salary isn't great but its a lot better than my current situation after my earnings got slashed by covid over the last year (I've been bartending for 7 years.)

I'm nervous to make the change but I gotta make some fucking money.

>>28263830
super valid point, if I can get past these HR ladies and figure out who the recruiting managers are, I might have a shot to talk shop..maybe im trying to kill a fly with a shotgun here

How long did it take you to get to director? im struggling with the fact that soon im gonna get pushed into a project management role, and of course thats never what people get into engineering for. Are you cool with being very high level I assume?

>>28262131

Pretty based qualifications desu would like to word side by side with you - but I’m the lowly jr superintendent who is managing our subs in o&g electrical and delivery field

>>28264630
It’s funny anon, you and I have the same aspirations. I hope I make it too. I just got my AA and I’m going to start my bachelors in the summer. 25 and have been working food jobs only. It sucks bro

>>28262131
If someone actually pressed your knowledge on these bullet points how many do you think you could actually fully talk about? What if they asked you to demonstrate experience on all those points? It looks nice but I am doubtful you could drop knowledge on ever single point without having to do any research.

>>28263980
I think ill remove a bullet point or two on the first job experience section, and really rework the skills section. I think its giving the impression of holy shit its a lot to read.

>>28264334
being able to write / communicate effectively is absolutely critical and is what has won our firm contracts over competitors. companies that are looking for PR services have an eagle eye for shit copy. we employ a small team of copy editors whose entire job is to take raw marketing materials, briefs, spec sheets, flyers, etc. anything that our clients want to communicate to their customers, and edit the shit out of their 4th grade pajeet-tier rambling into concise and direct messages. especially in the emoji acronym era, being able to clearly express ideas, products, and services is basically our bread and butter. i don't do any of that, i just manage all the tech / server farm / infrastructure etc.

>>28262131
>crypto bullrun just starting, let's fill out applications and look for a wagie position
you do you, op

>>28262131
Idk why but it looks very Indian. Too many technical words. I get it you are overly skilled but make it comprehensible for a human to read. This might pass an ATS but wont cut through HR.

"Give me a job, I'm not going to waste either my time or yours with a resume. I'm the best, at everything, the greatest, if you can afford me you should hire me. Don't waste my time with salary offers under 7 figures, regards Schlomo Goldberg."

I unironically got hired with this email. I'm just that good.

>>28264630
To follow my post, if you’re in Texas (just a guess) you could take a shot at space x, I went thru multiple interviews when I was still green in my field. I lost it based on lack of leadership and people skills since I was only 23, I was qualified even still at the time. I could absolutely decimate that same interview again - start bouncing resume around those types of places?

>>28262131
Cool, I worked in a sheet metal factory putting together carbonated for a summer when I was 19. I’ve been a NEET since and am now 37. Any tips on how to be an engineer playing with lasers?
Hard more: no schooling, I’m too good for that.

>>28264005
Eh, if I were going for some post doc or grad degree, I dont think its THAT solid. It is related, but we lost funding a bit too early and the research stagnated. Ill leave it at the bottom.

But yea if multiple people are saying experience goes first I think I dropped the ball on that.

>>28265257
>carbonated
Cabinets teehee

>>28262131
>be job recruiter
>looking at resume
>homeschooled

into the trash it goes

>>28265257
Oh and the company I worked for closed down in 2014 so no chance of a reference

>>28262131
I genuinely enjoy writing resumes/cover letters so if anyone wants help I am willing to edit in exchange for advice on starting off as a crypto newfag

>>28264185
Im gonna have to say Ive been on this path for so long, inertia is playing a role, plus a wife changes things. I am certainly investing in crypto, but I dont feel I know enough to go all in. Im trying to find a liferaft for whats coming. Right now im in crypto, PM's, raw materials and energy/water sector in developing countries.

Plus I cant let go of the dream of getting to work with a dream team of smart people on cool shit. Best feeling in the world to be the midwit in the room.

>>28265419
Wow buddy so you only want institutionalised good goys who obey orders like drones? You’re a recruiter in the service industry aren’t you :D

About to graduate and have no idea what's next. Applying everywhere and have had some good interviews just waiting to see what will happen. Did have a glownigger job lined up out of uni but new administration slashed that into pieces. My resume blows dick. How do I fix this shit?

>>28265419
Wait wait... or office work lmao. Glorified crèches for adults on corporate gibs until they can wait for them to die childless. Useless filth of humanity.

>>28264452
ay my net worth is just as 5 digit laden as any PnD scrub here

>>28265550
This

>>28265101
Thank you. Best advice I have received on this website. Yeah, graduating in a couple months and trying to just chad into a position—we’ll see if it works. I need to hone in on real skills. I didn’t learn how to do anything in school, unfortunately.

>>28265653
They ask you to fill out forms for fast food jobs anon. You don’t need a resume.

>>28265653
Also worked as a contractor for the past year in the family business. Don't even know how to word what I did in a professional environment.

>>28265685
Yeah but your macros suck and I bet you don’t even have puss bottles.

>>28265550
Tremendously based

just got into cybersecurity engineering, have about a year of exp, thinking about looking for a new cushy job, any recs?
I'm in US, was thinking about a state or fed job that I'd be able to coast by in

>>28262131
Ha, I work in controls too. Weird to see god-forsaken software such as ftview ME/SE and wonderware mentioned here.

>>28265666
Devilish and not untrue

>>28264896
Dude youll be glad you did, once you've got some solid ground under you, you can jump off to better things. Ill just say i live a big blue city, and whats happened to my neighborhood is fucking bullshit and it actually burns me up. I didn't fuckin move here from somewhere either. I wont get to drink in the bars my grandfathers drank at, it is in fact a loss of community to me.

>>28265041
I dont tell people about the delivering Chinese food to the projects the year before the intern position either. were gonna make it

>>28263830
Hey anon, I’m trying to break into IT. Do I have a chance of landing an entry lvl position with this?

>>28265003
A guy I worked with used to work for exxon as a controls guy. apparently theft of oil and gas along pipelines in central asia, and even america is rampant. they developed a system to detect where pressure and flow readings were dropping out of expectation, and send close commands to valves to cut it off. dont know why but it seems exxon scrapped it, wild shit. oil poachers

>>28264185
/thread

>>28266162
There was that thing in Mexico I think a few years ago where hundreds of people burnt to death after doing that to a pipeline. Funny stuff.

>>28265055
I gave it a look over and I definatley see your point. On oscilloscopes, I could brush up from school and get by. DNP3 ive only worked with in a cursory way. C/C++ ive included but havent worked with it in almost 4 years. Ultiboard I used 3 years ago...Aside from that I feel okay on the other stuff. Do you think its worth keeping to get past the resume scanners? im considering removing it just on the sole fact that skills is way to packed (bad formatting?)

>>28262131
Not my field, but I have interviewed, hired, and trashed enough CVs to know that yours is formatted/written fine. Skills, experience is listed and I can read it easily. What jumps out at me is what is missing - skills in software is noted, but how you got them is not. You say you have client-facing skills but all I can see is you fixing HVAC and other systems. I would be asking you why you are applying for whatever position you are applying for instead of a software job if you have all these skills.
Stuff like 'zero-downtime environments' is a tough sell for me too, seems like you're exaggerating for dramatic effect. You're an engineer, I don't want you to be a whinger or someone who goes on about how hard they have it, neither do I want someone who rewrites history to make themselves seem more heroic. Just fucking maintain the system. Remember I have to sift through 100 of these and 75 of them have a name that has -jeet or chang in it, so just by being European and seeming like you won't be a hassle to work with significantly increases my chance of getting you into interview.
Remember, your CV says "INTERVIEW ME" and your interview says "HIRE ME"

>>28265167
Could you talk about your gameplan? And maybe what interests you in going long in crypto? I totally open to pump and dump but I assume that needs high level of knowledge on what crypto is valuable. Im not even sure how to evaluate what crypto will take off? Who is deciding what explodes and what criteria does the market have a hard on for right now?

>>28265419
You haven't recruited anyone, I can tell, or you would know that homeschoolers are generally better academically than public schoolers and scale slightly worse than the best private schools.

>>28265220
gotcha, yea I'm getting this a lot. I think this is imposter syndrome coming through.

>>28265222
Your name alone strikes fear into the hearts of the goyim. Id offer you my only begotten son.

>>28265223
Sadly I'm not, the sunbelt is the best place on the planet for aerospace man. One thing is for sure I aint going to the bay area.

>>28262131
I'm a software engineer at a hedge fund and I want a change of pace, but I make too much money and no where else will pay me as much.

Not bad. As you get more time in the field, grow your professional experience section more and shorten the skills section. Things like oscilloscopse/power supplies/meters/soldering should be a given for your position, no need to mention those; focus the skills that make you stand apart from competition. Education I'd put up top under your header, then professional experience, with skills and leadership activities last. When reviewing resumes, recruiters and hiring managers look at compatibility from previous experience with the open position as the indicator for possible success. Try to give specifics on what you were responsible for and what your accomplishments were.

>>28262131
>Demonstrated autonomy and reliability in stressful, zero downtime environments
How? What specifically did you do? Why was it stressful?
>Collaborated in... etc.
Again, be more specific on what you did.

>>28265257
Unironically go to automation direct. Buy a PLC, buttons, switches, sensors. Learn ladder logic (there are many resources), learn control theory basics, be competent with a multimeter, wire strippers, etc. In america, Rockwell Automation reigns supreme, with siemens,ABB and Schneider up behind them. If possible pirate Studio5000/RSLogix5000 and FactoryTalk ME.

Then apply to a technician position at any company that makes or produces things. I'm sure you can get something as a tech without school but with experience. Its hard to find, but I've seen positions for engineering where its like 5 years with BS., 3 years with MS, 10 years with no degree.

Good luck, I think you can actually do this.

>>28266161
Easy bro, btw, Security+ is easy if you go to exam dumps, so are all the other certs, just continuously do as many questions as possible for a week before the exam and you will ace it the dumps has around 700-800 questions. Also do CCNA

>>28265419
What? Homeschooled?

>>28262131
Looks solid anon, maybe put a blurb at the start about your "soft skills" to add some personality.
Don't take rejection personally. I have a biochem degree, and currently in the middle of a comp sci degree, and have been applying for both internships and FT work for six months. I was in the NG and have a ton of quality experience. I got a tentative offer to be a government paper pusher last week which I'm gonna accept cause it's a tough market but it sucks considering I've been in school for six years.
Friendly reminder that STEM is a meme. We're all gonna make it though, at least my crypto is mooning.

>>28265653
Off the bat I would say find a good resume template online

Do not use fonts with serifs, go calibri or arial, no TNR

Seperate resume into experience, skills, education and maybe a bonus section

I know retail and service is hard to word in an exciting way, but id say look for examples and try to make the descriptions come across to whos hiring you as "if you hire me, your life will be so much easier, im doing your job for you nearly"

be strict on fonts, bold text and where it is used, follow a system

never send a word document out to an employer

>>28267673
Thank you anon

>>28265834
inb4 draining pilonidal cyst into puss bottles

>>28262131
One piece of advice I received from recruiters - make sure to tie in those hardware and software skills into relevant places in your job experiences. Say where you used C++ or Matlab for example.

>>28262131
Use serif font

>>28265866
I am unaware of the best three letter agency to join, sadly ive seen in engineering at least on the govt side, entry salaries are very low. like E-4 or E-5 maybe? But super safe employment.

As for private, Crowdstrike is hot shit right now.

Good way to look like it was written by a 15 yo

>>28262131
So anon I'm pretty sure I was able to find you. It wasn't hard because of how niche it is just FYI. You live in NY right?
I wont dox you, what I would like to know is if its cool to add you on LinkedIn? I need more connections.
I also live in NY if you want to be frens

>>28265868
God forsaken is a god damned understatement holy shit. If all of you knew the kind of insecure, windows XP looking graphics were being used to control the highest NERC CIP power plants and waste water plants, youd all go inawoods. The security of your clean water production often falls on a single cisco firewall, and a operators on average 40 and up. Social enginering out the ass.

>>28265868
But what do you do bud? you liking the field?

>>28265866
I just started a new cybersecurity engineering job today, any tips? Coming in with ~2 years of non cyber software engineering

My resume is pretty basic but it get me by.
>can drive big rigs
>not a rapist/serial killer
>give money pls

I got a mech E degree from an okay school with an okay GPA, but I haven't been able to land even an internship. How do I make myself look more attractive to employers

>>28264379
It was about how Iota could be used as the settlement layer for smart cities. Pretty amazing

>>28266671

>Remember, your CV says "INTERVIEW ME" and your interview says "HIRE ME"

One of the best pieces of advice ive seen in this thread dude, thank you.

I was laying on the sell yourself thing a little too thick. zero downtime referring to the manufacturing process cannot stop, so I'm used to high stress. Do you think its better to talk about these qualities in plain english?

Also earlier someone pressed me on can I really speak to all of these software skills, and there are certainly a few I'd have to review again. I think I can outline more how all of these skills tied in to my position instead of just over selling myself you know. Thanks man

>>28262131
"Skills" sections in general don't add much to a resume. It only proves that you know those terms exist. I understand wanting to hit all the keywords so it doesn't get filtered, but a better way to do that is to represent your skills in your experience section.

Here is a (mind-numbingly) simple example:
This:
> Experience:
> Built web service using python
Is better than this:
> Skills:
> Python
> Experience:
> Built web service

Recruiters also love quantification. The less abstract you can make your experience, the better. Confidence and ownership are also important aspects.

For example:
> Experience
> Designed and built python web application serving 200,000 users monthly

Your first point under "Lead Control Systems Engineer" is nearly perfect. Adding how many engineers you led (with some embellishment of course) would really seal it.

Good luck out there!

>>28268852
can i add you on linkedin or nah?
i'm sure it's you. your last name has three vowels in it.
if you think it's too weird then i won't im just wondering. i literally need more connections for the program i'm in.

>>28267110
Thanks, I am seeing this issue throughout. Too much over selling and not enough explaining frankly how the hell I know what I know

>>28262131
Im a more qualified controls engineer than you and im younger too

>>28267864
Oh god, my stomach is dropping because i've applied to some dream jobs man. Thank you though.

>>28267987
well not comic sans lol

>>28269364
bro is your mom a teacher? because if she is she definitely was my teacher. that would be fucking crazy

>>28267375
Thanks, I was actually thinking of doing that next

>>28269006
well if your sure its me, I don't see a problem. whats to lose? if it isnt I just wont ever see it.

It's tough to judge these types of technical resumes, they are written and read by autists. But be more concise with your language and say what you actually mean. Id prefer more emphasis on what youve accomplished and can do, not a mini story about the circumstances. There's also tons of annoying capitalization and grammar issues. Less is more.
>Customer facing duties
Come on
>Led team... which requires.
Tense issues
>Demonstrated autonomy
Are you a fucking robot?
>zero downtime environments
Unprofessional language
>Collaborated... on previously unreliable systems which cannot experience significant downtime or alter read only code
Tenses and its a mess. Focus on what you did, not what wasn't possible.
>Development FATs
Developed, proofread
>Developmental Intern
Have some fucking spacing between things, its a nightmare to look at
>Graduation-May
Use dates on a calendar, not based around your life events

>>28268863
thanks a bunch man, ive got something to go off of now. it helps that I wrote it too.

>>28269663

thanks

>>28269749
And my stomach continues to drop. Thanks a lot man, didnt expect so many people to read it through like that.

CHOOSE ONE
>Experience in various fields, demonstrating a sense of self-starting and wide talent pool
>Only STOODY and internships in tightly related fields, demonstrating a sense of focus and professionality

i also worked at a defense contractor so maybe you will be more visible to recruitors if we are frens on linkedin. you probably dont want to work at the place i was at but they do a lot of business with raytheon, boeing, lockheed etc etc

>>28270335
I sent out job applications to 86 places in my first year of law school. I spent ages setting up phone calls to learn more about each firm or company and seem very interested. I also wrote individualized cover letters for each place and met with the career office weekly to make everything perfect.
Not a single response and I watched classmates who misspelled firm names get interviews and jobs.
All my applications had ".com" instead of ".ca" for my email address.
Just learn and improve, good luck out there man.

making it is a state of mind, fren ;)
we're all going to make it

Just want to say a quick thank you, /biz/. There's an extreme unemployment issue in my country right now and I haven't been able to get a job for almost 3 years. Just looking at your relatively positive outlooks is restoring a bit of my hope.
wagmi

>>28270455
Your right on that if im being introspective with what youve said. I think overall I really need to focus in on a sector within the next few years. Yea in controls sure, but id rather be niche. Controls already touches so much

>>28271193

>>28270544
how was your time in the defense field? How come you decided to leave? Honestly im looking into them because the controls applications there are the hardest. I think im going to hit a wall soon in industrial control within a few years with difficulty level.

I would post my resume as a Chad vp director at probably one of the most saught after hedge funds but don't want to get doxxed.

But work on it

>>28270852
Just how the fuck does one explain something like that though man. That's rough as hell. Though I have hope now another unicorn position will come along.

How are you so smart? I have a mech engie degree and I don’t know how to do any of that shit

>>28262131
Find out who is going to be handling your applications first. If it's just your average meme HR department consider having another version that is written more like a "story" cause they don't like feeling stupid reading a whole lot of stuff they don't understand to begin with.

>>28271193
those who will it, will find a way. wagmi

>>28271524
Most of that stuff is specific to EE or industrial automation. Im sure your familiar with autocad or object oriented programming. Also the job is very hands on. Are you currently working as a mechie?

>>28271322
well the company i worked at isn't one you've ever heard of, also I had a pretty crappy QC job there so I wasn't happy or making a lot of money. they hired engineers mostly to say they had them but not because they were really necessary. you certainly would get bored with it after 6 months. it was typical supply chain stuff. buy parts, test parts, sell parts. i never saw what they were doing with the parts but we sold everything. hardware, integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors, PCB assemblies, tires, whatever. if it goes on a plane or a tank or in a missile they either have it or can find it.
defense is full of boomer neocons too so you kinda gotta get used to being around that if you aren't already. maybe the bigger companies are different. it's a big industry with lots of moving parts so your experience may vary.

>>28271819
How do you get a position as a mechie. I haven't even gotten an internship. In grad school now for aero because I feel like that's the only way I'll get hired

>>28271554
At this point, and I think at least in the industry, there are usually technical recruiters in house that im dealing with. But regardless with all the advice in here, it certainly needs to be toned down, reworded, proof read and really talk about how I know what I know

>>28271819
Yeah my job revolves around sitting at a desk all day using excel or CAD, I don’t know jack shit about programming beyond some very basic stuff. I have some mech e friends that went into industrial engineering type roles that probably do something similar to you, I feel like a dumb monkey compared to you guys because I sit around creating new spreadsheets to calculate fatigue in a joint or some other mundane task. I’ve only worked as an engineer for about a year though so I’m still only allowed to do low level stuff, plus I work for a small company. I don’t feel like a real engineer at all, at least not compared to guys like you.

>>28271448
You live with it. You tell your wife you don't know why you didn't land any interviews and you deeply resent everyone undeserving who got a big firm job.
Then, after that tough year you dust yourself off only to learn most firms just switched to 1st year recruit models, cancelling all 2nd and 3rd year recruitment.
Dont let shit like that get you down, just adjust and keep trying. You learn a lot about yourself.

>>28271990
dude on internships I really am at a loss. I know so many companies who have big internship programs. Id say go for small buissnesses, sub 150 employees if possible. I got my foot in the door on some illegal work for free kinda shit initially. And im paranoid so I started looking freshman summer.

Id say put together a portfolio almost like an art major would do. Show you can use solidworks and the like, use autocad, you clearly have good grades as your in gradschool, most positions that are great love MS holders. I tried applying to an aerospace supplier called Moog (fantastic company) but they want MS for nearly everything.

When was looking for fulltime positions out of college, I had a folder of the research I did, senior design project, and all that stuff. On top of resume and CV. It all helps. Get started ASAP

It it worth paying for a resume builder? Might be retarded and don't know how to sell myself.

Ive been looking into a lot of companies like GKN, Moog, such. At the moment id take anything to get into defense dude, what's the company? I can deal with neocons, just a polite smile and a can do attitude are enough.

Fair enough, i'm not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of your industry.
The response rate in my industry was low until I rewrote my CV to make it more of a story. But that was for an IT job in the renewable energy sector where having owned a houseplant in the past 20 years gets your foot in the door.

I usually figure the smaller the company the better, as sooner or later, more responsbility will be put on you. In my experience, engineers in small comapnies wear many different hats. I cant say I enjoy writing acceptance test documents all the time, or boring as SCADA work, but your on your way man. An engineer is a whore my friend, hopping from new project to new job is normal. Go after the experience, get those grunt hands new things all the time and the money will follow. I think something like half of graduating engineers dont even work under the engineer title.

add me on linkedin and you'll see my employment history. fuck did i request the wrong person?
also moog haha the company i just left does business with them. i know for a fact they need a QC guy there right now.

>>28272632
i really cant post the companies i have worked at because they are small businesses. they're not too far from you though.

>>28272686
On the note of my CV, i have it where i demonstrate interest, talk about what I know about the company. body of it gives quantifiable success stories of design work or onsite activities, end on a positive note and ask for a follow up in person. It might be better for me to sell the idea of me, and instead include quantifiable in it somehow. More story like. Ill think about this.

>>28272253
Yea its not so nice when you see something about yourself you dont like either lol.I kinda got dejected and slowed down applying. ill stay tough and just approach it smart and consistent with all of the advice.

>>28265262
Work in different industries but if I was recruiting for a control systems engineer I would have a rough idea what sort of skills a person in that role would have, professional experience would be the thing I'm more interested in seeing so that should be at the top.

I haven't seen anything but then again im at a restaurant right now so Im gonna check back in later on too. But yea I get you on not posting them.

>>28273580
I'm sure its you, also if your mom is a teacher she was 100% my teacher.
the places I worked aren't actually that close to where you're working now, more like an hour away.

>He/she wrote that
you can just say "They wront that" retard

I spent the last 7 years in and out of NEETdom after a personal trauma and by the grace of God got an internship for SDE with Amazon. I enrolled to do a CS degree online and am making progress with that while studying for the internship this summer. Realistically, how much of a chance do I stand to get a full time job offer at summer's end?

>>28263230
its because with a resume as good as yours you really shouldn't be unemployed so to someone like >>28262173
who is probably in his early 20s with no skills it would seem as if you just posted this thread to brag

>>28264181
Hey OP late reply but ur hunch is right, skills section seems faggy to me at first impulse. as a bit of constructive criticism drop "and more" from the first bullet point

>>28262131
I've been a graduate for almost 2 years now and the best I can show for it is technician roles in a manufacturing environment. Does anything stand out to anyone as being good or bad? How can I improve?

>>28276987
Here's the additional page

>interviewer called
>heard the bad quality phone line, misheard a word or two, assumed it was a telemarketer
>when they called back I just answered the phone and placed it beside my keyboard so they could hear me typing while I listened to the futile shitskin "hello?" "hello?" "are you there?"
It should be criminal for telemarketers to already know my name when they call. They sometimes get mistaken for real people.
who /blacklisted/ here?

>>28277068
Looks pretty good, maybe be more specific on your duties? Ways you personally improved the processes you partcipated in with %

>>28276987
Too many words. I would drop some of the non relevant experience and add one of those sections with single word or two skills, things that really matter. The comma separated lists will not get read. You need to make sure each sentence is trim and impactful. You just have too many lists of stuff. Needs a little more visual appeal, like a different way of organizing a few attributes in order to break up the monotony.

interview on thursday for a job while doing my masters, wish me luck anons. if i make it first paycheck goes into $AMP

>>28277170
Not blacklisted (hopefully), but reading that made my stomach sink. My heart races when my phone rings because I assume it's for a potential job, but it's always fucking spam.

>>28276987
Its crazy wordy, I've halfway through and I want to go back to masturbating already.
Your bullet points are also way to long

>>28277393
Yeah, I've gone through multiple revisions because I've been told to save some details for the interview. It's kind of tough knowing what to share and what to save for later, but you're probably right.

>>28277413
Trim and impactful. Good idea. I'll revise with that in mind. I'll have to think on the visual appeal bit.

>>28277619
This is good feedback. Less is more. Which part is toughest to get through? The engineering jargon is hard to work around.
