PIZZA.BAT posted:i understand interviewing for the sake of it but jesus at least try to interview for jobs that at least meet where you're at a bit. sitting there for a half an hour to an hour going, 'idk lol' is not good practice! have you considered the job posting is missing crucial details? i've had interviews where it sounded great on paper, the interview went well, and then talking about benefits, compensation and perks it all just fell appart. i feel like they were the ones wasting my time.

THIS JOB IS HARD! WE'RE NOT JOKING' signs as we reasonably can i'm still dealing with sales reps who took a python bootcamp one time and big four consultants who think they're hot poo poo because their resume links to their vanity react app it's cool though because like i said we found a few candidates who are very qualified and we'll probably hire them. i'm just pissed because it's been a stressful few weeks and talking to someone who's just wasting both my time and their own is really aggravating PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Apr 13, 2023 |

alright, first bit I need review help with (and yes, I promise not to argue and just make changes). I need to compact my experience section, it's taking too much space. should i be breaking it out by title like this? it was two promotions but all on the same team, although as it hopefully shows i grew my responsibilities significantly (heard today that i was expected to take over as team architect when the current one retired next year until i got laid off lmao). i'm also concerned about the titles themselves, as they don't mean the same things they do elsewhere (especially staff, which is just one level above entry-level here but like super high up elsewhere). quote:Advisory Software Developer, IBM; Rochester, MN — 2022–Present

Broad strokes: When you say things like "assisted in" or "contributed to", it sounds like you didn't do any of the actual work. (Because those are the kind of weasel words that hangers-on who don't do any work like to use to try and obscure that). For the stuff you actually did yourself, be more direct and just say that you did a thing. For stuff where you made contributions to a larger team effort, talk about the broader goal the team accomplished after you mention specific things you did towards that goal. (It could be as simple as saying you delivered "key features"). For stuff you didn't do yourself, saying that you "led" the design and development of something is way more compelling than saying that you "contributed to" it. You don't need to be the big boss for this - typically lots of people have some amount of leadership when it comes to setting the direction of a team or ensuring that some of the designs end up in the right place. Saying that you led the design of some sub-area is more impressive than saying that you contributed to the overall thing. If you can't honestly say you had leadership there then I'd consider leaving it off, since you have plenty of other stuff listed for that role and don't need to pad it out. Shuffle the optimization work to the top of the list so you're leading with the stuff you did and then following with leadership and mentoring aspects.

at this point in your career a two page resume is probably fine, i wouldn't worry about it. if you want to, cut down on the details about the job. people won't really care about what you did in the role when reading the resume - they'll care about that stuff during the behavioral interview. and of course the farther back the role is, the more aggressively you cut it down. 3-2-1 bullet points for of your last 3 roles (and titles only before that) seems to work out fine ime but is by no means a strict rule

a two page resume is fine but make sure the important poo poo - skills, recent positions, summary - are all on the first page. Feel free to go into detail on the 2nd page.
