Seeking to advance in career (critique of latest resume needed)

Hey there!

I just reviewed your resume and have some notes for improvement:

• You need to elaborate on your summary. I would shoot for 3-4 lines of narrative. Get rid of the “motivated” and the “willing to relocate” statement, saying you’re “motivated” doesn’t add any substance to your candidacy it’s just filler. As far as what else to say here, talk about the types of organizations you’ve worked for or the types of projects that you’re especially proficient in.

• The relocation statement belongs in a cover letter, and I would be very careful here. I wouldn’t just give one blanket statement that says you’re willing to move ANYWHERE. Tailor it based on the job, if the role is in California then say something along the lines of you having plans to move there and then mention you do not require relocation assistance. Recruiters are weary of relocations, so you need to make them feel like you were already planning on moving to x location and it just so happens you found this great opportunity there.

• I’m so happy to see your technical skills at the top of the page and that they are easy to skim! You don’t know how much time we spend talking to IT professionals about putting their skills toward the top of the page.

• Your education is perfect where it is, as the Master’s degree will be supplementary to the real-world experience you have gained.

• The information in your work bullets is useful, but I’d like to see you elaborate a little more. For example, I want to know what the purpose of the reports you create and who you are preparing those for (i.e. what is the benefit of having you run these?). I also think you're too modest when you talk about some of these projects you worked on. For the wiki, maybe elaborate on how disorganized all this information was before and how having it all in one place really benefits the company. How many users have easy access to all this information now, Etc? Also, go into more detail about the invoice-payment system you created—what did this entail, did it replace a system? Or was it something brand new that the company had never had before. I also want you to use more decisive language when talking about your accomplishments. Starting off with “responsible for” really downplays what you did.

I hope these notes are helpful!

I'd try to rewrite exec summary, put education to the top (as you are studying now), put tech summary under experience.

And start every bullet with the strong Ved, like 'I Developed ...' - look at the r/consulting wiki about resume.
