Just got the (verbal) offer for my internal transfer! I was a bit worried about the timing, since I was going to get promoted to lead next month in my current role, but it sounds like my current & soon-to-be bosses both advocated v hard for that to be taken into account. It’s a 25% increase in pay, and a role I’m very excited about - data science, but entirely focused on game design, truly so specifically targeted towards me & my skill set. I think I’m technically on the low end of the salary band for the role, but to be fair this is the end of my 2nd year working after going back to school so I mean I’m not mad! This is also a role that usually requires a MS/PhD on top of 2-5 YoE so truly it does make sense, I think I’ll just have to make sure my salary doesn’t get too anchored by this. A very common move is to go to FAANG for a few years and then boomerang back here, but hopefully won’t be necessary. I also get to keep my years at the company for accruing more annual weeks of PTO, which is great - I think I’m a year off 3 weeks, and then two more after that for 4? Thanks to everyone in the thread for the resume help and interview tips, it’s very very appreciated.

So, I got laid off in January due to bankruptcy and have been having a hell of a time finding a new gig. I have over twenty years experience in enterprise IT architecture and have never *ever* had a problem finding work. I've went through and updated for ATS, removed all weird formatting, and kinda at my witts end understanding why no callbacks, any advice on the resume below? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dA3qr7aAhkfZ2tCvF_6AtAw76vVWn-JI/view?usp=sharing

Try name and header on the first page only, drop leadership section (let your work history to show that), try to limit each job history to 5 or so bullet points, etc. Also, this thread is full of "I've never had this much trouble finding a job before." That's just how it is lately. It's not just you.

wash bucket posted:4 pages feels like a bit much.

Good call on showing the leadership stuff through work... though, I've gotten positions from the volunteer section and hiring managers being interested in me because of the places listed... I'm hesitant to ditch it entirely, always assumed seeing volunteer works helps stand out as well as get it across i am not an unpleasant cave troll to be around / give back to the community.

Dirty Beluga posted:I thought four pages is a bit much as well, however its hard to fit as many things as i've done one or two pages. Although I've hired 5 or 6 software devs, I havent hired people at or applied to positions at the level you're at, so grain of salt. Overall: Its not horrible, imma roast you in the spirit of helping and fun but its not awful or anything. Job Hunting thoughts: - Where are you finding jobs through? What % of applications more than 1 week old end up with a phone screen or better? How many total applications have you made? - If interested in startups, suggest Work at a Startup for applications. - What levels are you applying to? Resume Thoughts: - 4 Pages is indeed a bit much. Theres plenty of fat to be trimmed. In that spirit... -- Reach each job or paragraph and ask yourself "how can I say the same thing but with fewer words?" -- Get "Profile" from 3 lines to 2. --Your long list of core competencies say "this person is a bullshitter" to me. You probably arent that competent at this wide ranging of core competencies. Theres no way youre an AWS SME with who authored the PM BoK is the originator of several CVEs and has lawyer level knowledge of FINRA and HIPAA. Your core competencies shouldn't be 15 things and no way I'm reading all of these. Figure out which ones are most desirable for the jobs you're applying for an tailor this so its 2 lines long, not 5 lines long. -- "Over #" is weasel wording, just say the number it sounds stronger. - Youre a manager with an 11 person team but dont mention hiring and firing, couple talk mroe about people ops if youre going for manager/director positions. -- The most recent job reads like a front line manager with 11 direct reports who is taking a lot of credit for their technical achievements. A little mixed messaging. Go for "I'm a manager" or "I'm an architect", have two resumes if you are applying to both. - Include a one liner for the 04-08 and 10-15 jobs ...Theres more but i ran out of steam after page 1 and 4. Get this poo poo to two pages. You dont need the AA you got 15 years ago.

Thank you. I'm burnt out today but 100% will go back and make some of the changes suggested. In my defense though, my last position i literally did manage a team of 11 and greenfield datacenters with them, and build out our azure strategy - if you have any way to make it sounds less like im a cheesy frontline manager I'd love some pointers.
