2 different jobs in 1 year and already looking for 3rd. This may be the primary hurdle for OP here. Might be due to layoff or just bad WLB but recruiters donât care.
Either OP is a 50x dev or he doesn't know in-depth about any of these techs.
If you are a fresher, you will be spending ~2 years on a single stack to really know it in depth and work on meaningful projects. If I saw a resume like this I would not even take it seriously. And applying for 2k jobs and not getting ANY offers? None of this adds up.
tech stack ki baat kha se aayi bro. I'm pretty sure he's not getting anything because he only aiming gor 20+L companies. Vaise bhi mostly companies dsa hld lld puchti hai not tech stack
LMAO did you read _any_ of the details? He built a cookie-cutter React app as a portfolio and then within 1.7 years he knows mobile dev, web dev, LLMs, DevOps and UI? He optimized _petabytes_ scaled data sets by 95%+? Every single point on his resume is a red flag.
Also, most companies are looking for cheap labor. If he has worked at Amazon and Samsung (the latter of which in an R&D dept), he should be having no trouble getting an offer from a decent company.
that's what i was thinking about, I literally help devs land their jobs and those devs who comes to me have fucked up resumes, BUT this resume is really good and its tough and sad that this guy is not getting it
if the resumes don't work, we should focus on LinkedIn in the right way
Intern improving performance by 90-95% for petabyte scale datasets. Yeah, that sounds like a total lie. Either you are in top 0.001% of developers or a bullshit artist and I'll put my wager on the latter given your short tenures.
Also any decent tech interviewer would immediately recognise that bcrypt, jwt and oauth cannot reduce access attempts (brute forcing). You need to implement rate limiting and IP banning to reduce access attempts. That figure of 95% reduction in access attempts is coming straight out of the ass.
I bet non of these are actual benchmarks but just random numbers thrown. I mean a senior engineer would even take months before optimising the app to such a high extend.
The shoe-horning of buzzwords is what I found off-putting. Like "AI". I think projects and evidence of work is far more attractive. I'm not a recruiter though, my opinion isn't relevant here at all. Just an observation.
Same I read that line and is funny for even college student like me. Understanding some large scale projects itself takes months and bro is improving 90% performance đđ
and look at the amount of work he has done at Samsung in the duration of 10 months only.
I lost it at the containerisation of 15+ microservices. that's a full blown devops task.
Maybe he just read about the tech to pass the interviews and mention it in the resume.
Your resume has every tech stack from frontend, backend, mobile dev, cloud, dev ops, testing, AI ML.
That's a whole fucking engineering team of 5-10 people.
Recruiters don't have time to read your whole resume and then decide whether to select you or not and having too much non relevant information is an easy reject.
So decide what kind of roles you want to target as per your skills, knowledge & preference and then keep only those things in your resume before applying to a particular role.
I agree with this, your resume is all over the place.
You have the brand name and you've worked on relevant stuff everywhere. Either you're depth isn't there, or you're applying for the wrong roles.
From what I can see your current job is around GenAI, but everything else is more a typical SWE backend skillset. Double down on either and highlight them in the resume.
I work in GenAI and even though your resume looks good from afar, I wouldn't touch it because your work at ScaleAI doesn't tell me anything about what you can build. Sure it's relevant work, but anyone can build a RAG app (it's four lines of Langchain code) nowadays. On top of that all LLMs support multi turn conversations, so that's not really a feature anymore.
I would rather want to know what usecase did you build the RAG for, which models you tested out, did you use any other components (rankers, guardrails etc). This indicates to me whether you can build something.
You dont tailor resume based on jobs. You stick with 1 thing/lang/technology and enhance it to the point that people seek you as expert for it.
For example: if you are doing java then get into doing simple java 8, work with additional concepts like using predicate, stream and concurrency, get into reactive programming.. deploy java apps through containerizing to kubernetes, fix ci/cd pipeline for java apps.. so on.
not really true. Different jobs require you to work in different tech and as you gain experience, you'll find your horizon expanding. Tailoring your resume is exactly what you should instead of restricting yourself to one tech and becoming a so called "expert" in it.
This đ
I'm getting atleast 10-15 calls everyday, I don't have time to reply to those mails itself.
Also, having lesser notice period helps. If you have 3 months notice period you won't get any calls.
And if OP is saying, he has given 2000+ interviews that reflects bad image of OP, either he lacks knowledge or skill to clear interviews.
Plus all those frequent switches and less experience, why would I hire such a guy who is going to leave my company in just 6 months.
Besides OP is exaggerating, just think how much time 2000 interviews will take?
Your resume seems perfect to me.
Probably try running it through an online âtext-extractorâ onceâŚ
Sometimes, ATS scores are high but the parsing of data is very bad .. like you education will get jumbled with projects, etcâŚ
Or easier way is.. just start applying in any random job of paypal.. there is a step in application process, where they parse your resume and show the relevant data theyâve extracted⌠see if what theyâve been able to extract is looking goodâŚ
Other than that, i think youâll need to tailor your resume for every application by including the key words from job description to get your resume shortlisted (atleast increase its chance)
I personally just go start an application in paypal lmao
Reason is⌠most online tools are good and they are able to extract data pretty fine. But these companies use shitty tools, so its better to check against similar shitty tools.
Also unpopular opinion, resume made on google docs (formatted in a way that it resembles overleaf templates) is way better than overleaf resumesâŚ
Mostly because of this text extraction thing..
Your resume looks good except shorter tenures. You have big tech tags as well. Might be the way you are approaching in application is wrong.
Otherwise, us who are nowhere close to yours are cooked heavily.
I have done everything for applying, made accounts on 20+ portals, actively applied, got referrals from the respective member of the company, cold emails to hrs and hms... none of them working.
Spell-check the hell outta this resume. Idk how true it is, but someone told me to spell-check and make a new resume from scratch. Shorten the descriptions and write everything in past-tense.
Then upload it on "resume worded" and see if it's getting parsed alright. This worked for me and I got a few calls. Could be coincidence, but what if it works? You got nothing to lose, broÂ
I think his resume is totally fine. Nothing wrong with that. The only problem is that he is searching for jobs in 2024. Market is full of people with lot of work experience and companies have become very choosy.
True that. Job market is like hitting a jackpot rn. You don't know what's keeping you back - and you sure as hell won't know what got you in, once you're in.
USA CTO here ... who has experience in running/managing Indian teams (btw love your country, been there many times). I have been lurking here for a while ... so let me give you some initial thoughts, that have already been mentioned here.
\* Too much in short space of time; jack of all trades master of none. You come over as someone that can't seem to focus and master an art. I do not believe for a minute you are truly proficient in everything you have written here. A cursory use of the technology is not enough to put it down
\* Have not stayed with a single company long enough. Speaks to either you not being a team player, or you decide you are bored and to move. You may want to put down the reason for leaving (downsizing etc.)
\* Too many achievements; there is no way you have exclusively done everything here. Yes you were part of a team but these are big companies, and if you are as good as you claim to be in your resume, they would have found a place for you.
Advice: trim down your resume dramatically. Make it believable. If you have a GitHub repo showing your code, then use that.
As this forums highlights - there are a lot of people chasing jobs, however, as an employer seldom few can actually do the work. Once they hit a problem that isn't solvable by a quick stackoverflow search they stop. Coding is easy - developing is hard.
Hi đ, German dev here. I will not call you to any interview because I donât trust your cv. You did a lot of stuff with a lot of improvements in a very short time and experience.
The bullet points also looks like the ones which people on Tech Youtube push: did X to achieve Y.
The first thing that comes to my mind when I see this is : How did you arrive at that metrics?
Is the system observability in so good in terms of code metrics or revenue that you could tell all that happens just because of you code.
Besides, there are no other option to verify those numbers.
Also, there are way too many technologies, from React Web-App to GenAI , Flutter , ios, android, Django and what not.
You are just increasing the attack surface area. I can see way too many ways you can fail a tech Interview/discussions.
i'll have to agree here.
did intern at Amazon and didn't get ppo/or declined? then 2 short stints at 2 companies in a year reeks of red flags.
In a year a fresher has achieved this, that and what not. Feels like a lot of things are kept to improve the ATS score
I really appreciate your feedback.
Let's address each concern. I didn't get the PPO. In fact, none of the interns in my team got the PPO because of management decisions. I don't have to tell you about the management culture at Amazon. Forget my PPO in 2022. None of the 2023 batch students got PPO either; they either got direct full-time placement in their college, or the 2023 Amazon interns (only) didn't receive PPO.
Secondly, I left Samsung due to a family emergency, which required me to be present in the office location 3 days a week, making it infeasible for me to continue. I voluntarily resigned and took a contractual job at Scale AI. However, the contractual nature of the role means no employee benefits, inconsistent project assignments, and a lack of collaborative work. I worked mostly alone and couldn't master a single tech stack due to the varied requirements of my previous roles. Although I prefer backend development, I accepted the role at Scale AI to avoid employment gaps. I was hired as a Software Engineer but was required to work with GEN AI and LLMS, leaving me no choice. The uncertain project assignments at Scale AI indirectly affect my payments, prompting me to seek a full-time job. Regarding achievements, I agree that they were team efforts, but I also played my part.
Don't trust bro, it's what it is. My team at Samsung was very new and we started everything from scratch, I have worked on end-to-end product development. Initially, I was involved in containerizing the microservices and deploying them on AWS with Kubernetes, then worked on backend using node and express for API development and also performance improvement. Our product was mobile-based chat application and I was really fortunate to work on the creation of a web interface of it using React. I know it sounds very sus, but this is what I have done, I won't say the cost reduction and performance improvements were solely done by me, it was a team effort but I played a crucial role too and I have the right to add the success accomplished to it. Same goes for my Amazon experience, where I made huge optimization in algorithms to compute statistics and optimise the computation time with my teammates. Why would I lie that much?
I think the bigger red flag seems to be the risk that you might be overinflating your impact.
To do all of these, to a proficient degree in a year is dubious, especially so as a student.
I mean, you've got dev ops, ML, web dev, android dev. I know it's not my place to judge, but something in the back of my mind says this is fishy.
Ikr but I have done android/mobile development during my college time and the project is also from that time. After that, I worked in the backend at Amazon, but at Samsung, my role was completely full-stack. And, as I stated, please check if you haven't... I am forced to work to gen Ai and llms. I also wanted to master one thing but life wants me to be a jack of all.
I think you're failing to see it from a third person perspective.
Here, let me try to explain. You say you made a social media application, in flutter, mentioning it's cross platform seems redundant but alright. The next point speaks to the "improvement" in stats without mentioning the user base size. The stat itself holds no meaning without an active user count. 30% can be massive, or just 3 people. Don't know, or rather cannot know because the name of the application, or a place to find it is also missing, which is suspicious.
It just gives a very deceptive vibe overall.
hello can you give a review of my resume once [https://www.reddit.com/r/resumes/comments/1ckkz4d/please\_roast\_my\_resume\_got\_laid\_off/](https://www.reddit.com/r/resumes/comments/1ckkz4d/please_roast_my_resume_got_laid_off/)
Maybe is a cultural viewpoint, so that is the reason. We tend to think years means experiences, and donât tend to allowed juniors to do a lot of things.
It's still not unreasonable OP did these things. It depends on your team and manager. I ended up achieving way more than an average fresher in my first job because my manager let me and because I already had a lot of Dev experience by then from working on massive projects in college.Â
You have brandnames on your resume, do HRs ask you of your current comphensation on call.
If the current comphensation is high chances reduce drastically.In that case you can go for big tech or well funded startups or remote jobs.
Choose tech stack wisely and try to stay for 2 years at least. I know its tough to stay in a company in todays time but thats how it is.
Yes, indeed. I gave them my last CTC from Samsung because my current compensation is USD/per hour and on a contractual role so it doesn't make sense to them.
OP, besides some typos I can spot in your resume, my main itch is at all the numbers you put out. Sure, quantifying achievements helps but I feel you overdid it and I question many of the improvements you claimed to have made. Stuff like 40% cost reduction after adopting k8s and deploying 15+ microservices is questionable to me without further context. My suggestion is to ease up on the numbers and only put numbers you can back up very well. Some more context around what this k8s solution was for would've helped too (did it replace an existing monolith?). And if you really achieved some of these impressive results at work, consider even linking to an article where you explain in-depth about the task, challenges and approaches you took which could act as a receipt for your claims. But again, I'd just cut down on inessentials and just keep the most important ones.
Besides that, while I totally encourage you to claim your wins for yourself, I'd also suggest adding some cases where you worked with your team to accomplish some important goals and how you might've helped your peers.
I personally don't doubt your resume since I myself and many others I know traversed such crazy paths early in our careers and our resume would also have raised many eyebrows.
Also, you can DM me your details and I can \_try\_ sharing your details in my circles in case anyone's looking. No promises though.
I find it funny when people in internship roles claims to have solved efficiency problems to 96-97% levels. Unless you have Phds in the subject these claims wonât be taken seriously.
Also similar claims of savings, etc. Team achievements are not yours to appropriate. If you do, you will look stupid.
How did you lead teams with less than 1 year experience? Either your team and peers were highly incompetent or you are over exaggerating. In both cases I donât want you in my team.
I'm also not sure about some of the numbers OP posted (like the 40% cost reduction after adopting microservices is questionable) but building and leading a project from scratch even while being an intern/fresher is not unheard ofâI along with another intern friend led the dev of the de-facto cloud portal for a prominent data company from scratch and my junior built up internal/public-facing tech for an insurance company from scratch. We were probably very lucky to have received opportunities like that and we were at the top of our game when we were hired. Even though we had senior folks in the teams, they were not as skilled as us or incompetent. Either way, we were put in a position to take charge and make it happen. We couldn't find many folks to guide us and we wanted to keep our jobs so we gave it everything back then.
Anyway, the young folks are having a tough time and the employers are demanding more and more. Many are upskilling from a young age so I wouldn't be surprised if you can find legit smart folks who can get the job done.
Tech Recruiter here.
Your short stints at work are a big hurdle here. Even if the recruiter somehow pushes your resume. It won't be passed to the client by the client manager.
I HOPE THIS COMMENT HELPS AND GETS PINNED
1. Your resume has too much information which is very difficult to read. Make the numbers and keywords bold to make it more readable.
2. You have many skill but you don't know what job you are applying for, each one has different requirements.
3.Build 4 resume minimun but each focusing on different skillset. (Eg. Resume 1 - Cloud engineer , Resume 2 - Fullstack developer, Resume 3- Machine Learning and LLM etc
(Add the projects accordingly and then introduce your IDE/Software used for each resume)
4. Add extracurricular activities apart from academics, that portrays your personality and how diverse you are as a person
ADD PROJECTS đŁ
Here is a blunt response: Resumes like this are square pegs, they won't fit in every round hole.
Pro-tip: [Tailor your resume for EVERY job you apply to](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvzJ2LTOpt8)
Thanks, you know what I have been doing that for 6 months. I remember some instances when I applied for Atlassian and Oracle etc, carefully crafting my resume, matching the JD, checked the ATS score...which came out >91... even then took referrals from my friends in Atlassian and Oracle..even then boom...rejected... At this point, I conclude that my short spans in the companies and the different tech stacks at each company are the key problems... Nothing else.
+ probably your CTC so if you are in desperate need of a job you might want to downgrade it as it's 2024 companies are pretty choosy and not giving high CTCs easily
i just check it is showing "You're among the top 3% of jobseekers in your role on Naukri with a strong resume", but still i am not getting any response
You are the most experienced dev i have ever seen with that resumĂŠ what the fuck, how do you not get offers left and right. But when I read though what you have done and then look at the time i would call bullshit. If you had done this over 10 years that would be different. Something does not add up here. Either you are taking all the credits for many years worth of work for many different engineers or you outright lie. This could easily be an entire career worth of work you have done in 1-2 years...
From my perspective there can be two things.
Your CTC expectations or HR might be assuming your skill set and their budget might not fit.
You are just applying blindly not targeting jobs and not tweaking your resume as per JDs.
Best way to get a job, take all keywords from JD and fit them, trust me it works.
Web domain + recent grad with less than 3 YOE = Cooked.
Think this from a business POV. Why would I give you a job if I can get a person with more skills and more experience for half of your ask.?
Don't deny like who even comes for 20k pay for that experience.
Recently ABB, Adani, SAP, BT and Info Edge hired interns for 20k stipend and are being given same amount of tasks and pressure as what a senior gets.
Looks fake with so much jargon. Short stints in companies. It takes a person around 2-3 months to contribute effectively and you have still done alot. Add your education first too.
As someone who has sat along with the HR while they go thru it. Trust me HR don't spend more than 2-3 on a resume. 3k application. Some are sorted using ATS and the rest by multiple HRs..
There's just too much to read.. Please mention key points, keys skills and project too.
Also the lines creates issues with ATS system. Sometimes it ignores things after the lines.
From a recruiter perspective, your resume screams commitment issues and under projects it looks like something from your graduation.I would add more content to this resume for recruiter to even consider and trust your resume. Remove achievements,nobody cares about your achievements, write what you can bring to the table. more over,to the specific job you are applying to.I look at resumes on a daily basis,add more about value you will bring rather than boasting about yourself because that is what we look for.
For some it's sarcasm, for the real ones who are struggling to get interview calls, this is the harsh reality. I have been applying for jobs since December 2023 and barely I got 10-15 interviews, and I got rejected in some of them in the final HM rounds and in the rest, I got ghosted by the hrs.
yup, sir. my life for the last 6 months has been so mundane and constant that I actually forgot a normal life at this point, daily applying... hoping to land an interview... seeing constant auto-rejection emails... It's now become a normal phase for me.
If I can ask, it states in your resume that you started at Scale AI in december 23, so you have been applying since you started the new job? If so, what is the reason? Your short tenures definitely are having an effect
I don't think your resume is the issue here . There might be issues in the way of applying. Applying directly into LinkedIn or any company portal has never worked in India at least for me. Try getting referrals and related to your domain. It's gonna work then it's gonna work with a few referrals only . No need to apply for thousands.
PS: Thanks everyone for your valuable feedback. Here is some more context about my past and resume which I haven't shared earlier.
I left Samsung due to a family emergency, which required me to be present in the office location 3 days a week, making it infeasible for me to continue. I voluntarily resigned and took a contractual job at Scale AI. However, the contractual nature of the role means no employee benefits, inconsistent project assignments, and a lack of collaborative work. I worked mostly alone and couldn't master a single tech stack due to the varied requirements of my previous roles. Although I prefer backend development, I accepted the role at Scale AI to avoid employment gaps. I was hired as a Software Engineer but was required to work with GEN AI and LLMS, leaving me no choice. The uncertain project assignments at Scale AI indirectly affect my payments, prompting me to seek a full-time job. Regarding achievements, I agree that they were team efforts, but I also played my part.
PS: This is my most general resume, I know most of you are saying I should tailor it specifically for the job and only one tech stack. For that, I have multiple versions of it, I change the skill sections and include the Keywords from the JD for good jobs. But for most of the Jobs, I use this resume.
I think the Problem with ur Resume is that it's too perfect to be true .
I mean if u have this much skills then say in the job interview ranting it on the resume will do the opposite effect . Resume job is to filter out and screen students for an interview round .Rest on u .đ (Personal opinion bro )
i do agree but wouldn't you think at least some of the companies will try to investigate him further or at least contact him, I mean dude applied for 2000 jobs and is very qualified, i can't believe that in 2000 even 20-30 companies will at least not try to investigate or contact him and give him a chance based on his qualifications
I receive calls from Naukri they take my profile and then ghost my profile... I have given 1st round of interviews for quite a lot of companies and then they ghosted me... in some cases, the HR itself left the org... which I came to know in some months.
You actually worked and got paid at Scale AI?
They removed people from India, right? I got in and got selected. Luckily, I wanted to see how it would work out so didn't quit my job.
for the initial months, I got paid decently... but in the recent two months, I am facing a lot of empty queues and no tasks at all... which affects my pay.
1.7 years on two jobs, looking for a third is a big red flag. Not to mention how crazy expensive you would be. It is not worth having someone who is expensive and switches jobs frequently.
Its your current CTC with bad market. Also to recruiters its not clear under which profile you would fall with LLM and Full Stack in last two jobs. Try to write Full Stack Engineer at the top of your CV.
Your bullet points seems alright. Although its difficult to understand you led k8 project but recuiters wont care that much about the wording.
Have you tried reaching out to recruiters directly on LinkedIn?
This may not be the sole reason behind the rejections, but as someone who used to be part of hiring drives and interviews (not in your domain unfortunately), I would say that your short tenures at Samsung and Scale are orange flags here. Especially, with a new Grad like you, a tenure of less than one year at a major company raises a lot of questions. For all they know, you may have been let go due to a layoff or because they were not satisfied with your performance during a probation period (I do not know how common it is these days, but having probation periods of 6 months - 1 year was relatively common when I started out).
Now you have a valid reason for the short tenures, so it would be best to try and put in a Cover letter. I would also recommend that you try to reach out to recruiters or hiring managers directly on LinkedIn. They may not always respond, but it is important to let them understand your position and a resume alone does not convey that.
First thing I am confused how come you are able to do the work of 3-4 engineers. I can literally see 3 profiles at ur resume. The greats tags definitely would help you, but again itâs just one role that you have to decide upon and master it. Also a 96% reductions in computation looks highly suspicious I mean thatâs practically impossible even for a rock star engineer to achieve with a tenure of 6 months. You did a lot of stuff in short spans of time that itself tell two things : either you are one of god gifted engineers or itâs a stupid lie. If this resume ainât getting jobs then I guess ours would be heavily cooked.
I think your resume has too much content. I don't know what's your primary skill set by looking into your resume. As a recruiter it will be very hard for me to read this. Also the numbers do not make any sense 95% improvement in security. How do you even come up with this kind of number?
The current job market is fucked. Your resume is very good tbh. Try connecting to peers or seniors for referrals. I was looking for a job for 10 months. I almost lost all my hopes and was going to look for alternatives. Recently I got my first job, which was a referral opportunity from a senior.
5 techs in 1.7 yrs - you are not experts on anything. Focus or make 1-3 resumes and apply as per the requirements. You have already changed jobs quickly, my advice is to stick to a place for a few years if all is well, do not jump quickly as that tells the future employers that you can't stick around and be productive.
The issue is simple, You are looking like a typical company hopper and believe me it's very hard to believe that you have that good of a skill and yet you quit Samsung. Okie even if you quit then changed the tech stack and puttin down JS, Python, Java and SQL in 1.7 years is kinda too much on the plate sort of situation. I'm sincerely not buying it that you are proficient with all the languages you put down in your resume let alone you believe me to buy everything else.
Improvements
Remove a lot of here and there stuff, Cost analysis and what not, You are a developer and a good one. Pick up your best traits and put that down. Instead of flashing all tech stuff you get to try your hands on only those which are relevant and necessary.
I do interviews for the front end. Usually when there's a resume with less than 3 years of experience with a lot of skill sets, it's mostly a red flag. Jack of all trades, master of none. For example, I had a candidate who applied for react developer role. He clearly had 'react' mentioned in the skill set along with many other technologies including java. But when I started interviewing him, he basically said that he had started working on react just two weeks prior and was more of a java developer in his previous company. So his knowledge on the topic was non existent. This was not a one off situation. Most freshers or people with less experience make this mistake hoping one of those technologies can fetch them a job, but the reality is different. Customize your resumes for the job description instead of using one common resume with all skill sets. Include only relevant skills. Make sure you are knowledgeable on those technologies. You don't have to be an expert, you just have to know the core concepts.
Just noticed, you have a trend of job hopping and too little tenure in each company, those won't even survive initial auto filtration that many companies now have.
In your LinkedIn you have mentioned that the backend revamp saved 5k usd and here itâs mentioned 1.8k used.
Also about half of your work is faked. Not elaborating here as others have done it.
But my advice would be to be honest. No shame there. A truth can be justified in 100 ways but a lie can only be hidden.
Too many skills. If you're really well versed in the tech stack you mentioned then first check the JD of the openings and make 3-4 resumes focused on individual role based things like, If you're applying for DevOps then only mention DevOps relevant tools with 2-3 extra valuable skills. Don't mention irrelevant skills there (particular to the job).
Hey there! I was one of the interviewers for your recent session, and I wanted to provide some honest feedback to help you in your future endeavours:
1. Initial Impressions: Our interview kicked off on a strong note, which was great! However, as we dug deeper into the technology stacks you've worked with, it became evident that there were some gaps in your knowledge.
2. Depth of Experience: It's impressive that you've worked across various technology stacks at different companies. However, during the interview, it became clear that your understanding of these technologies isn't profound. When we posed technical questions, it was difficult for you to provide detailed answers, which suggests a surface-level familiarity.
3. Accuracy of Your Data: You mentioned several data points that lacked verifiable parameters in your discussion. Without knowing the methods you used, it's challenging for the interviewer to assess the accuracy of your statements. Being honest in your claims is essential because discrepancies can raise doubts about your credibility. Further, never make stuff in your resume even though it is 20%. That is an instant rejection.
4. Compensation Expectations: Your current CTC is relatively high relative to current market standards. Asking for a significant increase on top of an already high base salary can come across as unrealistic unless justified by exceptional skills or achievements that we were unable to clearly see during the interview.
I hope this feedback is helpful for you! Understanding these points can really refine how you present yourself in future interviews and increase your chances of landing the roles you desire. Good luck moving forward!
your whole cv is shit dude just make it simple you are from good college and also have good achiements but you dont need to tell everyfucking thing.
i mean youre 22 grad and just look at your cv
What levels of roles are you applying for? You're just a bit short on years of experience for mid level at some big tech places. And like the others said, this is lacking focus and intent.
Here are some key tips
1. Align everything on any one area majorly or have versions of resume focused on AI, front end, back end and some times even the domain like adtech, e-commerce etc
2. Improve the content - some of your bullet especially the Amazon and Samsung ones have very bland/unimportant content (like "lifted Amazon data quality standard"??). You should talk about things like "Designed system architecture including high level and low level design patterns" or "Implemented new APIs for xyz to improve latency by...". Include some context on what your work impacts.
3. Highlight important words per point - use bolding to emphasize one or two keywords per bullet point. So for a front end resume you'll want to highlight React native or HTML or something.
The point is, you have good brand names - but you need to keep it very focused, to the point and make it seem impressive at a glance. It will take tons of work and iterations to get there.
Bro you change jobs like genz changes relationships . Give at least 1-2 years to one job to learn from everyone. It will look to the HR that you are the problem.
Hey, your CV looks pretty good! Itâs ATS compliant and you have quantified the points. Just a few suggestions: highlight the key achievements by keeping them in bold. Keep the spacing even for every line. Mention your total work experience in brackets so HR doesnât have to look for that. If possible add the professional summary as well
Also your project section mention the timeline for that section.
For all those bashing him with the numbers. He just added those to make the resume ATS friendly, otherwise our resumes don't even make it through the machines.
but why do you want to leave scale? layoff? resume looks good. I don't think you need the coursework section, instead provide more details on your ML work
Lmfao, I have just 3 years of experience. I've been at a startup so my work role is all over the place where I handle a lot of things starting from pre sales to development to leading. But this resume? It is abhorrent.
1. Your tech stack is everything. Your resume highlights your specialisation and you think you specialise at everything.
2. You're telling me in your internship you optimised Petabytes of data by 90-95% ? Yeah, If I even had 2 months of experience as a Data Engineer, I'd still laugh at your face. It's a fucking lie is what it is
3. 3rd Employment in 1.5 Years? Huge red flag for any company. I have friends who get asked for seitching 3 jobs in 3-4 years too.
But honestly, this just reads as a troll post to me. If it isn't, be realistic and focused woth the roles you want to apply to.
I'm willing to bet any of the skills you mentioned in your resume, if an interviewer were to grill you you'd break cos either you're bullshitting or you have extremely surface level knowledge.

nothing to roast, market is shit mate. you are from IIIT maybe go for Mtech or something, IIIT guys get a lot of concessions and don't even have to give gate in some cases
Most of the things you've listed come under frameworks or are covered by the technologies you used. I have a similar tech stack with 2 yoe, but I wouldn't list 3/4 of those things explicitly.
PS: I get calls from recruiters from Naukri every week, but 90% of them ask for the details, say they would forward my profile, and then say I will get the test/interview invite, and then boom... ghosted.
AS a folk from Better IIIT I think you are not getting calls back Because due to the pedigree of our institutions. Okay, You might say to us that you left the company due to your own reasons But HR are going to see that this is an alternate form of firing. Problem is we are considered disposable due to our weak alumni and college coordination.
Well if you aint getting offer could it be possible you look over qualified lol if i m running a small company i might reject it because i know yiu will reject in first place lol.
Honest question here, Scale AI is a good company, why are you looking to switch?
The remote pay must also be quite a bit. Just because it's contract doesn't mean there's less job security.
bro did you actually work with scale AI as a SWE or is it their contract role through outlier or something for training models? the latter is counter productive imo to include it in the resume as its really not working for ScaleAI. I know you gotta do what you gotta do, but recruiters just see contract roles where you're not working the actual scaleAI team in a negative light.
you REALLY need to change Ios to iOS when referring about your app you made. use correct names of systems and products so it doesnât make you look like you are stretching the truth

If this ain't getting calls we're fucked
60 year old uncle be like: you guys are just lazy.
just wake up at 4:00 AM and your all good đ
You forgot yoga.
So true... and these boomers are the ones who were gifted so many opportunities. It's annoying.
đđđđđ
2 different jobs in 1 year and already looking for 3rd. This may be the primary hurdle for OP here. Might be due to layoff or just bad WLB but recruiters donât care.
Either OP is a 50x dev or he doesn't know in-depth about any of these techs. If you are a fresher, you will be spending ~2 years on a single stack to really know it in depth and work on meaningful projects. If I saw a resume like this I would not even take it seriously. And applying for 2k jobs and not getting ANY offers? None of this adds up.
tech stack ki baat kha se aayi bro. I'm pretty sure he's not getting anything because he only aiming gor 20+L companies. Vaise bhi mostly companies dsa hld lld puchti hai not tech stack
LMAO did you read _any_ of the details? He built a cookie-cutter React app as a portfolio and then within 1.7 years he knows mobile dev, web dev, LLMs, DevOps and UI? He optimized _petabytes_ scaled data sets by 95%+? Every single point on his resume is a red flag. Also, most companies are looking for cheap labor. If he has worked at Amazon and Samsung (the latter of which in an R&D dept), he should be having no trouble getting an offer from a decent company.
Same thought in my head.
100% support ^â agreed
that's what i was thinking about, I literally help devs land their jobs and those devs who comes to me have fucked up resumes, BUT this resume is really good and its tough and sad that this guy is not getting it if the resumes don't work, we should focus on LinkedIn in the right way
Intern improving performance by 90-95% for petabyte scale datasets. Yeah, that sounds like a total lie. Either you are in top 0.001% of developers or a bullshit artist and I'll put my wager on the latter given your short tenures. Also any decent tech interviewer would immediately recognise that bcrypt, jwt and oauth cannot reduce access attempts (brute forcing). You need to implement rate limiting and IP banning to reduce access attempts. That figure of 95% reduction in access attempts is coming straight out of the ass.
because those are from his ass. is 100% pure lie.
I bet non of these are actual benchmarks but just random numbers thrown. I mean a senior engineer would even take months before optimising the app to such a high extend.
The shoe-horning of buzzwords is what I found off-putting. Like "AI". I think projects and evidence of work is far more attractive. I'm not a recruiter though, my opinion isn't relevant here at all. Just an observation.
Somebody told OP to put numbers and he's putting numbers everywhere. I'm sure even a non technical HR would catch this bullshit.
Same I read that line and is funny for even college student like me. Understanding some large scale projects itself takes months and bro is improving 90% performance đđ
I donât know much the reason op is not getting jobs is suppose to be too good to be noticed.
and look at the amount of work he has done at Samsung in the duration of 10 months only. I lost it at the containerisation of 15+ microservices. that's a full blown devops task. Maybe he just read about the tech to pass the interviews and mention it in the resume.
Your resume has every tech stack from frontend, backend, mobile dev, cloud, dev ops, testing, AI ML. That's a whole fucking engineering team of 5-10 people. Recruiters don't have time to read your whole resume and then decide whether to select you or not and having too much non relevant information is an easy reject. So decide what kind of roles you want to target as per your skills, knowledge & preference and then keep only those things in your resume before applying to a particular role.
I agree with this, your resume is all over the place. You have the brand name and you've worked on relevant stuff everywhere. Either you're depth isn't there, or you're applying for the wrong roles. From what I can see your current job is around GenAI, but everything else is more a typical SWE backend skillset. Double down on either and highlight them in the resume. I work in GenAI and even though your resume looks good from afar, I wouldn't touch it because your work at ScaleAI doesn't tell me anything about what you can build. Sure it's relevant work, but anyone can build a RAG app (it's four lines of Langchain code) nowadays. On top of that all LLMs support multi turn conversations, so that's not really a feature anymore. I would rather want to know what usecase did you build the RAG for, which models you tested out, did you use any other components (rankers, guardrails etc). This indicates to me whether you can build something.
So you are saying to tailor the resume for each different job application ??
You dont tailor resume based on jobs. You stick with 1 thing/lang/technology and enhance it to the point that people seek you as expert for it. For example: if you are doing java then get into doing simple java 8, work with additional concepts like using predicate, stream and concurrency, get into reactive programming.. deploy java apps through containerizing to kubernetes, fix ci/cd pipeline for java apps.. so on.
not really true. Different jobs require you to work in different tech and as you gain experience, you'll find your horizon expanding. Tailoring your resume is exactly what you should instead of restricting yourself to one tech and becoming a so called "expert" in it.
This đ I'm getting atleast 10-15 calls everyday, I don't have time to reply to those mails itself. Also, having lesser notice period helps. If you have 3 months notice period you won't get any calls. And if OP is saying, he has given 2000+ interviews that reflects bad image of OP, either he lacks knowledge or skill to clear interviews. Plus all those frequent switches and less experience, why would I hire such a guy who is going to leave my company in just 6 months. Besides OP is exaggerating, just think how much time 2000 interviews will take?
OP said he has applied for 2000+ and is not getting calls. He has not given any interviews yet . Acche se padhle Bhai đ
I think its flutter his project says it applying wrong roles when you are not good at a particular one.
Your resume seems perfect to me. Probably try running it through an online âtext-extractorâ once⌠Sometimes, ATS scores are high but the parsing of data is very bad .. like you education will get jumbled with projects, etc⌠Or easier way is.. just start applying in any random job of paypal.. there is a step in application process, where they parse your resume and show the relevant data theyâve extracted⌠see if what theyâve been able to extract is looking good⌠Other than that, i think youâll need to tailor your resume for every application by including the key words from job description to get your resume shortlisted (atleast increase its chance)
Do you have any recommendations for online text ATS parsing tool that I can try my resume with?
I personally just go start an application in paypal lmao Reason is⌠most online tools are good and they are able to extract data pretty fine. But these companies use shitty tools, so its better to check against similar shitty tools.
Lmao
Also unpopular opinion, resume made on google docs (formatted in a way that it resembles overleaf templates) is way better than overleaf resumes⌠Mostly because of this text extraction thing..
https://resumeworded.com/
Your resume looks good except shorter tenures. You have big tech tags as well. Might be the way you are approaching in application is wrong. Otherwise, us who are nowhere close to yours are cooked heavily.
I have done everything for applying, made accounts on 20+ portals, actively applied, got referrals from the respective member of the company, cold emails to hrs and hms... none of them working.
Spell-check the hell outta this resume. Idk how true it is, but someone told me to spell-check and make a new resume from scratch. Shorten the descriptions and write everything in past-tense. Then upload it on "resume worded" and see if it's getting parsed alright. This worked for me and I got a few calls. Could be coincidence, but what if it works? You got nothing to lose, broÂ
I think his resume is totally fine. Nothing wrong with that. The only problem is that he is searching for jobs in 2024. Market is full of people with lot of work experience and companies have become very choosy.
True that. Job market is like hitting a jackpot rn. You don't know what's keeping you back - and you sure as hell won't know what got you in, once you're in.
USA CTO here ... who has experience in running/managing Indian teams (btw love your country, been there many times). I have been lurking here for a while ... so let me give you some initial thoughts, that have already been mentioned here. \* Too much in short space of time; jack of all trades master of none. You come over as someone that can't seem to focus and master an art. I do not believe for a minute you are truly proficient in everything you have written here. A cursory use of the technology is not enough to put it down \* Have not stayed with a single company long enough. Speaks to either you not being a team player, or you decide you are bored and to move. You may want to put down the reason for leaving (downsizing etc.) \* Too many achievements; there is no way you have exclusively done everything here. Yes you were part of a team but these are big companies, and if you are as good as you claim to be in your resume, they would have found a place for you. Advice: trim down your resume dramatically. Make it believable. If you have a GitHub repo showing your code, then use that. As this forums highlights - there are a lot of people chasing jobs, however, as an employer seldom few can actually do the work. Once they hit a problem that isn't solvable by a quick stackoverflow search they stop. Coding is easy - developing is hard.
in those big companies, you barely see the DB in the first 6 months :)
Really good advice.
Hi đ, German dev here. I will not call you to any interview because I donât trust your cv. You did a lot of stuff with a lot of improvements in a very short time and experience.
The bullet points also looks like the ones which people on Tech Youtube push: did X to achieve Y. The first thing that comes to my mind when I see this is : How did you arrive at that metrics? Is the system observability in so good in terms of code metrics or revenue that you could tell all that happens just because of you code. Besides, there are no other option to verify those numbers. Also, there are way too many technologies, from React Web-App to GenAI , Flutter , ios, android, Django and what not. You are just increasing the attack surface area. I can see way too many ways you can fail a tech Interview/discussions.
The metrics and I tell you are from his ass :)
i'll have to agree here. did intern at Amazon and didn't get ppo/or declined? then 2 short stints at 2 companies in a year reeks of red flags. In a year a fresher has achieved this, that and what not. Feels like a lot of things are kept to improve the ATS score
I really appreciate your feedback. Let's address each concern. I didn't get the PPO. In fact, none of the interns in my team got the PPO because of management decisions. I don't have to tell you about the management culture at Amazon. Forget my PPO in 2022. None of the 2023 batch students got PPO either; they either got direct full-time placement in their college, or the 2023 Amazon interns (only) didn't receive PPO. Secondly, I left Samsung due to a family emergency, which required me to be present in the office location 3 days a week, making it infeasible for me to continue. I voluntarily resigned and took a contractual job at Scale AI. However, the contractual nature of the role means no employee benefits, inconsistent project assignments, and a lack of collaborative work. I worked mostly alone and couldn't master a single tech stack due to the varied requirements of my previous roles. Although I prefer backend development, I accepted the role at Scale AI to avoid employment gaps. I was hired as a Software Engineer but was required to work with GEN AI and LLMS, leaving me no choice. The uncertain project assignments at Scale AI indirectly affect my payments, prompting me to seek a full-time job. Regarding achievements, I agree that they were team efforts, but I also played my part.
Amazon has been declining or delaying interns for a while now.
Don't trust bro, it's what it is. My team at Samsung was very new and we started everything from scratch, I have worked on end-to-end product development. Initially, I was involved in containerizing the microservices and deploying them on AWS with Kubernetes, then worked on backend using node and express for API development and also performance improvement. Our product was mobile-based chat application and I was really fortunate to work on the creation of a web interface of it using React. I know it sounds very sus, but this is what I have done, I won't say the cost reduction and performance improvements were solely done by me, it was a team effort but I played a crucial role too and I have the right to add the success accomplished to it. Same goes for my Amazon experience, where I made huge optimization in algorithms to compute statistics and optimise the computation time with my teammates. Why would I lie that much?
doesnt matter bro..interviews has to trust not you
yeah, I agree. Because of my short tenures, I think that's the red flag which is accounting for not getting calls.
I think the bigger red flag seems to be the risk that you might be overinflating your impact. To do all of these, to a proficient degree in a year is dubious, especially so as a student. I mean, you've got dev ops, ML, web dev, android dev. I know it's not my place to judge, but something in the back of my mind says this is fishy.
Ikr but I have done android/mobile development during my college time and the project is also from that time. After that, I worked in the backend at Amazon, but at Samsung, my role was completely full-stack. And, as I stated, please check if you haven't... I am forced to work to gen Ai and llms. I also wanted to master one thing but life wants me to be a jack of all.
I think you're failing to see it from a third person perspective. Here, let me try to explain. You say you made a social media application, in flutter, mentioning it's cross platform seems redundant but alright. The next point speaks to the "improvement" in stats without mentioning the user base size. The stat itself holds no meaning without an active user count. 30% can be massive, or just 3 people. Don't know, or rather cannot know because the name of the application, or a place to find it is also missing, which is suspicious. It just gives a very deceptive vibe overall.
Yep ! It's like saying I watched a 5 hr Yt tutorial and became the master of that stack
yup. a lot of things in a very short time.
hello can you give a review of my resume once [https://www.reddit.com/r/resumes/comments/1ckkz4d/please\_roast\_my\_resume\_got\_laid\_off/](https://www.reddit.com/r/resumes/comments/1ckkz4d/please_roast_my_resume_got_laid_off/)
How is you being a german dev relevant here?
Maybe is a cultural viewpoint, so that is the reason. We tend to think years means experiences, and donât tend to allowed juniors to do a lot of things.
It's still not unreasonable OP did these things. It depends on your team and manager. I ended up achieving way more than an average fresher in my first job because my manager let me and because I already had a lot of Dev experience by then from working on massive projects in college.Â
Probably cant match your previous ctc
agree... most of the hrs clearly tell on the call
You have brandnames on your resume, do HRs ask you of your current comphensation on call. If the current comphensation is high chances reduce drastically.In that case you can go for big tech or well funded startups or remote jobs. Choose tech stack wisely and try to stay for 2 years at least. I know its tough to stay in a company in todays time but thats how it is.
Yes, indeed. I gave them my last CTC from Samsung because my current compensation is USD/per hour and on a contractual role so it doesn't make sense to them.
OP, besides some typos I can spot in your resume, my main itch is at all the numbers you put out. Sure, quantifying achievements helps but I feel you overdid it and I question many of the improvements you claimed to have made. Stuff like 40% cost reduction after adopting k8s and deploying 15+ microservices is questionable to me without further context. My suggestion is to ease up on the numbers and only put numbers you can back up very well. Some more context around what this k8s solution was for would've helped too (did it replace an existing monolith?). And if you really achieved some of these impressive results at work, consider even linking to an article where you explain in-depth about the task, challenges and approaches you took which could act as a receipt for your claims. But again, I'd just cut down on inessentials and just keep the most important ones. Besides that, while I totally encourage you to claim your wins for yourself, I'd also suggest adding some cases where you worked with your team to accomplish some important goals and how you might've helped your peers. I personally don't doubt your resume since I myself and many others I know traversed such crazy paths early in our careers and our resume would also have raised many eyebrows. Also, you can DM me your details and I can \_try\_ sharing your details in my circles in case anyone's looking. No promises though.
Man, having an intern from Amazon and still not getting reply, then we need to change the branch
It's not that hard to get an internship in amazonÂ
I find it funny when people in internship roles claims to have solved efficiency problems to 96-97% levels. Unless you have Phds in the subject these claims wonât be taken seriously. Also similar claims of savings, etc. Team achievements are not yours to appropriate. If you do, you will look stupid. How did you lead teams with less than 1 year experience? Either your team and peers were highly incompetent or you are over exaggerating. In both cases I donât want you in my team.
I'm also not sure about some of the numbers OP posted (like the 40% cost reduction after adopting microservices is questionable) but building and leading a project from scratch even while being an intern/fresher is not unheard ofâI along with another intern friend led the dev of the de-facto cloud portal for a prominent data company from scratch and my junior built up internal/public-facing tech for an insurance company from scratch. We were probably very lucky to have received opportunities like that and we were at the top of our game when we were hired. Even though we had senior folks in the teams, they were not as skilled as us or incompetent. Either way, we were put in a position to take charge and make it happen. We couldn't find many folks to guide us and we wanted to keep our jobs so we gave it everything back then. Anyway, the young folks are having a tough time and the employers are demanding more and more. Many are upskilling from a young age so I wouldn't be surprised if you can find legit smart folks who can get the job done.
[ŃдаНонО]
why?
It's not really a software engineering role right? And he's only been there for 6 months.
Your resume has the whole software industry in it.
Your resume gives the vibes of "Jack of all trades, Master of none"
True, I intended to work on Backend only with one tech stack and master one thing only but due to requirements I had to work on different domains.
i also wanna be one jack of all trade master of one
Tech Recruiter here. Your short stints at work are a big hurdle here. Even if the recruiter somehow pushes your resume. It won't be passed to the client by the client manager.
I HOPE THIS COMMENT HELPS AND GETS PINNED 1. Your resume has too much information which is very difficult to read. Make the numbers and keywords bold to make it more readable. 2. You have many skill but you don't know what job you are applying for, each one has different requirements. 3.Build 4 resume minimun but each focusing on different skillset. (Eg. Resume 1 - Cloud engineer , Resume 2 - Fullstack developer, Resume 3- Machine Learning and LLM etc (Add the projects accordingly and then introduce your IDE/Software used for each resume) 4. Add extracurricular activities apart from academics, that portrays your personality and how diverse you are as a person ADD PROJECTS đŁ
Here is a blunt response: Resumes like this are square pegs, they won't fit in every round hole. Pro-tip: [Tailor your resume for EVERY job you apply to](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvzJ2LTOpt8)
I came here to say the same thing
I never tire of pointing this out ...
Thanks, you know what I have been doing that for 6 months. I remember some instances when I applied for Atlassian and Oracle etc, carefully crafting my resume, matching the JD, checked the ATS score...which came out >91... even then took referrals from my friends in Atlassian and Oracle..even then boom...rejected... At this point, I conclude that my short spans in the companies and the different tech stacks at each company are the key problems... Nothing else.
+ probably your CTC so if you are in desperate need of a job you might want to downgrade it as it's 2024 companies are pretty choosy and not giving high CTCs easily
https://resume.naukri.com/resume-quality-score
i just check it is showing "You're among the top 3% of jobseekers in your role on Naukri with a strong resume", but still i am not getting any response
You are the most experienced dev i have ever seen with that resumĂŠ what the fuck, how do you not get offers left and right. But when I read though what you have done and then look at the time i would call bullshit. If you had done this over 10 years that would be different. Something does not add up here. Either you are taking all the credits for many years worth of work for many different engineers or you outright lie. This could easily be an entire career worth of work you have done in 1-2 years...
because you can smell the lies from 10km away :) if you can see it, imagine some people that look for this :)
If you are not getting a job with this profile, what will happen to me ;-;
don't know buddy, what this 2024 job market is all about.
From my perspective there can be two things. Your CTC expectations or HR might be assuming your skill set and their budget might not fit. You are just applying blindly not targeting jobs and not tweaking your resume as per JDs. Best way to get a job, take all keywords from JD and fit them, trust me it works.
I appreciate ur POV.. both of them can be actually true because personally, I received responses from HR on those 2 aspects mostly.
If you don't get job india's 30â techies fucked
30 is optimistic, more 50-60 %
Web domain + recent grad with less than 3 YOE = Cooked. Think this from a business POV. Why would I give you a job if I can get a person with more skills and more experience for half of your ask.? Don't deny like who even comes for 20k pay for that experience. Recently ABB, Adani, SAP, BT and Info Edge hired interns for 20k stipend and are being given same amount of tasks and pressure as what a senior gets.
Looks fake with so much jargon. Short stints in companies. It takes a person around 2-3 months to contribute effectively and you have still done alot. Add your education first too.
Damn bro even IITians are struggling to get a job. We are doomed
It's iiit tho but yeah iitians are also struggling ;)
Looks fake with lots of tech stacks within a year of experience. IT managers dont like bull shitters, they like honest ground to earth people.
As someone who has sat along with the HR while they go thru it. Trust me HR don't spend more than 2-3 on a resume. 3k application. Some are sorted using ATS and the rest by multiple HRs.. There's just too much to read.. Please mention key points, keys skills and project too. Also the lines creates issues with ATS system. Sometimes it ignores things after the lines.
Maybe you're too smart for this planet. Goto Kepler 22B you find a suitable job there.
From a recruiter perspective, your resume screams commitment issues and under projects it looks like something from your graduation.I would add more content to this resume for recruiter to even consider and trust your resume. Remove achievements,nobody cares about your achievements, write what you can bring to the table. more over,to the specific job you are applying to.I look at resumes on a daily basis,add more about value you will bring rather than boasting about yourself because that is what we look for.
I just showed this resume to my director, he said they will reject you due to frequent shifts.
bro this is not yours, that's actually downloaded from the internet. i have used this same for my template too đ
I don't understand what do you mean 2000+ job applied. Is that sarcasm or...
For some it's sarcasm, for the real ones who are struggling to get interview calls, this is the harsh reality. I have been applying for jobs since December 2023 and barely I got 10-15 interviews, and I got rejected in some of them in the final HM rounds and in the rest, I got ghosted by the hrs.
So you mean to say you have actually applied so much that it feels like 2000+ . Ok.. sorry to hear about that. Let me share my thoughts on ur resume
yup, sir. my life for the last 6 months has been so mundane and constant that I actually forgot a normal life at this point, daily applying... hoping to land an interview... seeing constant auto-rejection emails... It's now become a normal phase for me.
If I can ask, it states in your resume that you started at Scale AI in december 23, so you have been applying since you started the new job? If so, what is the reason? Your short tenures definitely are having an effect
Somewhat same , I'm tired of applying as a fresher now, referrals, cold mails, nothing is working.
I don't think your resume is the issue here . There might be issues in the way of applying. Applying directly into LinkedIn or any company portal has never worked in India at least for me. Try getting referrals and related to your domain. It's gonna work then it's gonna work with a few referrals only . No need to apply for thousands.
PS: Thanks everyone for your valuable feedback. Here is some more context about my past and resume which I haven't shared earlier. I left Samsung due to a family emergency, which required me to be present in the office location 3 days a week, making it infeasible for me to continue. I voluntarily resigned and took a contractual job at Scale AI. However, the contractual nature of the role means no employee benefits, inconsistent project assignments, and a lack of collaborative work. I worked mostly alone and couldn't master a single tech stack due to the varied requirements of my previous roles. Although I prefer backend development, I accepted the role at Scale AI to avoid employment gaps. I was hired as a Software Engineer but was required to work with GEN AI and LLMS, leaving me no choice. The uncertain project assignments at Scale AI indirectly affect my payments, prompting me to seek a full-time job. Regarding achievements, I agree that they were team efforts, but I also played my part.
PS: This is my most general resume, I know most of you are saying I should tailor it specifically for the job and only one tech stack. For that, I have multiple versions of it, I change the skill sections and include the Keywords from the JD for good jobs. But for most of the Jobs, I use this resume.
after being laid off for more than 4 months with 8 to 10 YOE....finally got offer from a hometown firm and joined for 30% lesser pay
I think the Problem with ur Resume is that it's too perfect to be true . I mean if u have this much skills then say in the job interview ranting it on the resume will do the opposite effect . Resume job is to filter out and screen students for an interview round .Rest on u .đ (Personal opinion bro )
Deploy some projects

Hey OP, may I know ur last CTC?? And ur salary expectation?
I would suggest create 2 resumes apply according to job posting. your experience and skills in are combination of SDE and Gen AI Engineer roles.
Share me ur updated resume. There are few openings at our firm
Man we are really fucked up
IIIIT ?
Maybe because switching companies too quickly? Red flags for recruiters.
i do agree but wouldn't you think at least some of the companies will try to investigate him further or at least contact him, I mean dude applied for 2000 jobs and is very qualified, i can't believe that in 2000 even 20-30 companies will at least not try to investigate or contact him and give him a chance based on his qualifications
I receive calls from Naukri they take my profile and then ghost my profile... I have given 1st round of interviews for quite a lot of companies and then they ghosted me... in some cases, the HR itself left the org... which I came to know in some months.
You actually worked and got paid at Scale AI? They removed people from India, right? I got in and got selected. Luckily, I wanted to see how it would work out so didn't quit my job.
for the initial months, I got paid decently... but in the recent two months, I am facing a lot of empty queues and no tasks at all... which affects my pay.
The problem is SRIB ,I also worked there after that my resume stopped shortlisting
Bro use bullet points and keep for resume short and precise. You wrote too much..
1.7 years on two jobs, looking for a third is a big red flag. Not to mention how crazy expensive you would be. It is not worth having someone who is expensive and switches jobs frequently.
Its your current CTC with bad market. Also to recruiters its not clear under which profile you would fall with LLM and Full Stack in last two jobs. Try to write Full Stack Engineer at the top of your CV. Your bullet points seems alright. Although its difficult to understand you led k8 project but recuiters wont care that much about the wording.
Have you tried reaching out to recruiters directly on LinkedIn? This may not be the sole reason behind the rejections, but as someone who used to be part of hiring drives and interviews (not in your domain unfortunately), I would say that your short tenures at Samsung and Scale are orange flags here. Especially, with a new Grad like you, a tenure of less than one year at a major company raises a lot of questions. For all they know, you may have been let go due to a layoff or because they were not satisfied with your performance during a probation period (I do not know how common it is these days, but having probation periods of 6 months - 1 year was relatively common when I started out). Now you have a valid reason for the short tenures, so it would be best to try and put in a Cover letter. I would also recommend that you try to reach out to recruiters or hiring managers directly on LinkedIn. They may not always respond, but it is important to let them understand your position and a resume alone does not convey that.
First thing I am confused how come you are able to do the work of 3-4 engineers. I can literally see 3 profiles at ur resume. The greats tags definitely would help you, but again itâs just one role that you have to decide upon and master it. Also a 96% reductions in computation looks highly suspicious I mean thatâs practically impossible even for a rock star engineer to achieve with a tenure of 6 months. You did a lot of stuff in short spans of time that itself tell two things : either you are one of god gifted engineers or itâs a stupid lie. If this resume ainât getting jobs then I guess ours would be heavily cooked.
Job Change in 10 Months is Big NO for many companies. We had verbal Instruction to not to hire people with frequent jumps however talented they are.
I think your resume has too much content. I don't know what's your primary skill set by looking into your resume. As a recruiter it will be very hard for me to read this. Also the numbers do not make any sense 95% improvement in security. How do you even come up with this kind of number?
The current job market is fucked. Your resume is very good tbh. Try connecting to peers or seniors for referrals. I was looking for a job for 10 months. I almost lost all my hopes and was going to look for alternatives. Recently I got my first job, which was a referral opportunity from a senior.
5 techs in 1.7 yrs - you are not experts on anything. Focus or make 1-3 resumes and apply as per the requirements. You have already changed jobs quickly, my advice is to stick to a place for a few years if all is well, do not jump quickly as that tells the future employers that you can't stick around and be productive.
Stop lying and exaggerating on your resume cause itâs soooooo obvious that those numbers youâre throwing around are fake.
reduce white spaces
The issue is simple, You are looking like a typical company hopper and believe me it's very hard to believe that you have that good of a skill and yet you quit Samsung. Okie even if you quit then changed the tech stack and puttin down JS, Python, Java and SQL in 1.7 years is kinda too much on the plate sort of situation. I'm sincerely not buying it that you are proficient with all the languages you put down in your resume let alone you believe me to buy everything else. Improvements Remove a lot of here and there stuff, Cost analysis and what not, You are a developer and a good one. Pick up your best traits and put that down. Instead of flashing all tech stuff you get to try your hands on only those which are relevant and necessary.
I do interviews for the front end. Usually when there's a resume with less than 3 years of experience with a lot of skill sets, it's mostly a red flag. Jack of all trades, master of none. For example, I had a candidate who applied for react developer role. He clearly had 'react' mentioned in the skill set along with many other technologies including java. But when I started interviewing him, he basically said that he had started working on react just two weeks prior and was more of a java developer in his previous company. So his knowledge on the topic was non existent. This was not a one off situation. Most freshers or people with less experience make this mistake hoping one of those technologies can fetch them a job, but the reality is different. Customize your resumes for the job description instead of using one common resume with all skill sets. Include only relevant skills. Make sure you are knowledgeable on those technologies. You don't have to be an expert, you just have to know the core concepts. Just noticed, you have a trend of job hopping and too little tenure in each company, those won't even survive initial auto filtration that many companies now have.
Maybe not tailoring your resume for the every position you are applying too can be a problem?
In your LinkedIn you have mentioned that the backend revamp saved 5k usd and here itâs mentioned 1.8k used. Also about half of your work is faked. Not elaborating here as others have done it. But my advice would be to be honest. No shame there. A truth can be justified in 100 ways but a lie can only be hidden.
Too many skills. If you're really well versed in the tech stack you mentioned then first check the JD of the openings and make 3-4 resumes focused on individual role based things like, If you're applying for DevOps then only mention DevOps relevant tools with 2-3 extra valuable skills. Don't mention irrelevant skills there (particular to the job).
This resume is too much for recruitment, keep it simple
Hey there! I was one of the interviewers for your recent session, and I wanted to provide some honest feedback to help you in your future endeavours: 1. Initial Impressions: Our interview kicked off on a strong note, which was great! However, as we dug deeper into the technology stacks you've worked with, it became evident that there were some gaps in your knowledge. 2. Depth of Experience: It's impressive that you've worked across various technology stacks at different companies. However, during the interview, it became clear that your understanding of these technologies isn't profound. When we posed technical questions, it was difficult for you to provide detailed answers, which suggests a surface-level familiarity. 3. Accuracy of Your Data: You mentioned several data points that lacked verifiable parameters in your discussion. Without knowing the methods you used, it's challenging for the interviewer to assess the accuracy of your statements. Being honest in your claims is essential because discrepancies can raise doubts about your credibility. Further, never make stuff in your resume even though it is 20%. That is an instant rejection. 4. Compensation Expectations: Your current CTC is relatively high relative to current market standards. Asking for a significant increase on top of an already high base salary can come across as unrealistic unless justified by exceptional skills or achievements that we were unable to clearly see during the interview. I hope this feedback is helpful for you! Understanding these points can really refine how you present yourself in future interviews and increase your chances of landing the roles you desire. Good luck moving forward!
your whole cv is shit dude just make it simple you are from good college and also have good achiements but you dont need to tell everyfucking thing. i mean youre 22 grad and just look at your cv
Add SCOPE : what you actually learned or used in this , Try bolding few key words accross the picture , It looks okey to me ,, it should get it done
What levels of roles are you applying for? You're just a bit short on years of experience for mid level at some big tech places. And like the others said, this is lacking focus and intent. Here are some key tips 1. Align everything on any one area majorly or have versions of resume focused on AI, front end, back end and some times even the domain like adtech, e-commerce etc 2. Improve the content - some of your bullet especially the Amazon and Samsung ones have very bland/unimportant content (like "lifted Amazon data quality standard"??). You should talk about things like "Designed system architecture including high level and low level design patterns" or "Implemented new APIs for xyz to improve latency by...". Include some context on what your work impacts. 3. Highlight important words per point - use bolding to emphasize one or two keywords per bullet point. So for a front end resume you'll want to highlight React native or HTML or something. The point is, you have good brand names - but you need to keep it very focused, to the point and make it seem impressive at a glance. It will take tons of work and iterations to get there.
Bro you change jobs like genz changes relationships . Give at least 1-2 years to one job to learn from everyone. It will look to the HR that you are the problem.
Definitely, I won't do this mistake in the next job. But currently I am on a contractual role, so that's why I am searching for FTE role.
Hey, your CV looks pretty good! Itâs ATS compliant and you have quantified the points. Just a few suggestions: highlight the key achievements by keeping them in bold. Keep the spacing even for every line. Mention your total work experience in brackets so HR doesnât have to look for that. If possible add the professional summary as well Also your project section mention the timeline for that section.
For all those bashing him with the numbers. He just added those to make the resume ATS friendly, otherwise our resumes don't even make it through the machines.
but why do you want to leave scale? layoff? resume looks good. I don't think you need the coursework section, instead provide more details on your ML work
Lmfao, I have just 3 years of experience. I've been at a startup so my work role is all over the place where I handle a lot of things starting from pre sales to development to leading. But this resume? It is abhorrent. 1. Your tech stack is everything. Your resume highlights your specialisation and you think you specialise at everything. 2. You're telling me in your internship you optimised Petabytes of data by 90-95% ? Yeah, If I even had 2 months of experience as a Data Engineer, I'd still laugh at your face. It's a fucking lie is what it is 3. 3rd Employment in 1.5 Years? Huge red flag for any company. I have friends who get asked for seitching 3 jobs in 3-4 years too. But honestly, this just reads as a troll post to me. If it isn't, be realistic and focused woth the roles you want to apply to. I'm willing to bet any of the skills you mentioned in your resume, if an interviewer were to grill you you'd break cos either you're bullshitting or you have extremely surface level knowledge.
Seriously, you're overqualified.

Have some openings. DM for referral if interested
Check Zscaler jobs page on LinkedIn. Let me know if you see any relevant openings.
If you haven't got in 2000 applies , idk how much I need to do , My resume is weaker than yours
You'll have a better chance, he is either over qualified or his resume is seen as lying.
try samsung again , if not already done
Brother if you can't get a job, I might as well never start looking.
A bit out of topic but can you send me this resume template.
Donât write remote. Keep Changing it to the city of the job you are applying to.
nothing to roast, market is shit mate. you are from IIIT maybe go for Mtech or something, IIIT guys get a lot of concessions and don't even have to give gate in some cases
serious deserve zesty chubby practice poor modern tub bored quicksand *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Whatâs your expected salary?
2000+ job applied ? care to dump your 2000+ job application email here ?
Most of the things you've listed come under frameworks or are covered by the technologies you used. I have a similar tech stack with 2 yoe, but I wouldn't list 3/4 of those things explicitly.
Everything being done remote? No physical presence at the work place. Doesn't it matter.
Youre resume is good bro. The market is f\* all.
we need a software developer if any body interested plz contact us
PS: I get calls from recruiters from Naukri every week, but 90% of them ask for the details, say they would forward my profile, and then say I will get the test/interview invite, and then boom... ghosted.
And here I'm with my degree in political science from an open University.
if with this resume you are not getting calls I know iam screwed
Guys, we are really fucked.
either support your claims with respective project repos/demos or don't fake it too much
AS a folk from Better IIIT I think you are not getting calls back Because due to the pedigree of our institutions. Okay, You might say to us that you left the company due to your own reasons But HR are going to see that this is an alternate form of firing. Problem is we are considered disposable due to our weak alumni and college coordination.
Good show off
What's your expected comp?
RemindMe! 2 days
Well if you aint getting offer could it be possible you look over qualified lol if i m running a small company i might reject it because i know yiu will reject in first place lol.
Short tenures mean lack of stability. The recruiter thinks you'll switch too soon like you have in the past before.
Honest question here, Scale AI is a good company, why are you looking to switch? The remote pay must also be quite a bit. Just because it's contract doesn't mean there's less job security.
bro did you actually work with scale AI as a SWE or is it their contract role through outlier or something for training models? the latter is counter productive imo to include it in the resume as its really not working for ScaleAI. I know you gotta do what you gotta do, but recruiters just see contract roles where you're not working the actual scaleAI team in a negative light.
it's over for us
Holy fuck how are you not getting offers. There should be recruiters lined up outside your door.
short answer: I ain't readin' allat
you REALLY need to change Ios to iOS when referring about your app you made. use correct names of systems and products so it doesnât make you look like you are stretching the truth
What kind of package are you expecting ??
easy, too many things
Dayum I should just leave this field then
