[Weekly] Resume Review Megathread
Hi fellow corporate folks,
The job market’s been rough for a lot of people lately, and resumes are often the first (and sometimes only) filter. We’ve seen many of you ask for feedback, so here’s a dedicated resume review thread for both freshers and experienced folks alike.
The goal is simple: help you present your work better and improve your chances of getting shortlisted.
What this thread is for
Use this thread if you:
- Want feedback on your resume / CV
- Aren’t getting callbacks and don’t know why
- Are switching roles / industries and need direction
- Want a second opinion before applying
This is meant to be practical, honest, and helpful to get the real feedback.
How to post (mandatory context)
Please don’t just drop a resume link. Add some context so people can actually help:
- YOE (Years of Experience)
- Current / target industry
- Roles you’re applying for
- Key skillsets
Additionally, it helps to include:
- What problem you’re facing (e.g., no callbacks, resume too generic, etc.)
- What kind of feedback you want (structure, content, ATS, etc.)
Attach your resume using an anonymous link (remove personal details like phone number, email, etc.).
What not to do
- No low-effort posts (they’ll be removed)
- No “review pls” with just a link
- Don’t argue with people trying to help you
If you’re posting, put in some effort, others are putting in time to review.
For people reviewing
If you’re giving feedback:
- Be direct, but constructive
- Avoid vague comments and explain what’s wrong and how to fix it
- If possible, suggest better phrasing, structure, or alternatives
Even a few thoughtful pointers can make a big difference.
Important notes
- This is a community-driven thread, mods are not reviewing every resume and not getting any monetary benefits from this thread
- Profession/industry details via flair are enough, no need to over-explain beyond context
- Do not share sensitive or personally identifiable information
- Advice may vary, use your judgement before applying changes
General etiquette
- Respect people’s time and effort
- Keep discussions relevant
- No spamming or self-promotion
- Ensure you have a proper USER FLAIR, else your content will be removed
Good luck and peace!✌🏻👍
