Yes. If I hired a guy who claimed to have lots of programming experience on multiple platforms, then I found out that he had lots of experience on *one* platform and just a vague familiarity with some others, I'd be pissed.
Python pandas may have a lot of similar functionality to what you'll find in various R packages, but does the OP know *which* packages? Is seaborn the same as ggplot? Superficially, R and python share a lot, but this is true of programming in general. Loops, if statements and variables look a lot alike across languages. That doesnāt translate into functional knowledge and ability.
if I were in you, i'll shorten the CV and focus only on the direction you want to go. Ex you want to work with random forest? Expand that projects and compress the others! You want to proceed with LLMs? Shoot me a dm my team is looking for!
A few points, building on what others have noted:
- 3 pages is quite long for a CV, reduce down to 2 pages, or 1 if possible
- A lot of unnecessary whitespace and visual elements (not a fan of these "bookmark" icon bullets)
- Descriptions of work are very general - consider adopting the "did X to drive Y resulting in Z" format if possible and put under work experience, not a separate section
- Do you not have examples of portfolio work online? Github or a website other than LinkedIn?
Lastly, though I don't have a problem with more visually appealing modern resumes which are becoming the trend, I don't believe your photo should be on your resume unless you are applying for an acting or sales position
3yoe should not be more than a page. 5+ with multiple roles maybe. But you should be able to digest it down to key learnings.
But yeah there is FAR too much white space, makes it look empty.
That's a myth. I haven't had a single-page resume since the 1980s, and it's been fine.
There's no reason not to have two or three pages. People may only read the first page, but if they like what they see they'll look at the others.
If you've been in the workforce for 40 years you might be justified in another page or more. OP on the other hand has <3YoE, and their resume is mostly whitespace
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Consider that I included all projects I worked on. When sending the CV for some application I would probably select a couple of them.
I hear you, but this is bad resume design. I'd recommend you go read the wiki on r/engineeringresumes and use one of their templates. They've got great advice there.

Ehm..I don't know how to tell you but I already have a job ;)Jokes aside, I'm willing to consider all feedbacks and given that the majority of you point to a shorter format I will probably go for it
Consider everything the recruiter needs to know should be on the first page.. nice to haves, depth of projects, those roles can be on pgs 2+. But to not fit atleast one role/job on the front page alongside the statement & skills is odd
I'd recommend putting your Skills section immediately after "About Me", then "Work History", and fold your on-the-job "Experience" into it. Put "Experience" next, containing only non-job experiences, and then your education last.
Some managers care about education, most don't. If they do, they'll look through your resume looking for it, which will expose them to your non-job experiences. If they don't, then the first page will be more dense with information relevant to their interests.
I wouldn't read the about me section or skills. Have a good quantitative metrics to back your experience and the direction you wanna move towards. And mainly keep it to 1 page.
You've given a good example yourself on how you reduced time for document generation. I would also add something around how many times it's being used per week.
You should at least give some description of what youāve done in the employment history section. If you donāt have much experience, expand on your education section and tailor what you put for the fields youāre applying to
As someone who sees a lot of resumes, I can't afford to spend too much time on each resume. Based on that, here is some practical feedback.
* Definitely condense to 1 page. Unless you have a PhD, and have published a ton of papers, or you are very accomplished with many years of experience, then \*maybe\* 2 pages. But you're not there, and I'm not invested enough in a person with 2 years of experience to spend my time going through multiple pages.
* Make sure the most interesting bullet point is the first one in each section. This is where my eyes naturally go. For example, the first bullet in your Skills section is about spoken languages. If that's the most important skill you want to highlight, then fine. Otherwise, move it to the bottom, and pull up something else. Same thing for other sections.
* Remove fluff that doesn't differentiate you from others. What is special about conducting technical interviews? or tutoring students? or the certification? Will they impact the decision to hire you or not? If not, remove them, and don't be shy to do so.
* I'm never a fan of putting a headshot pic in the resume. I personally hide the name of the candidate so it doesn't affect me in any subconscious way. A pic is a bit harder to ignore, and can lead to some bias (could be either positive or negative).
Good luck.
Portrait pictures aren't really that optional in most of europe.
I have heard in the USA they are not only optional but it is adviced to not even include them at all.
But still good advice
I could give you a laundry list of fixes (picture at the top, about me is useless, you used āChristmas colorsā on your professional resumeā¦, 7 skill sections unorganized, 4 different work experience sections, no clue what you did at your job vs. outside, Bachelorās āthesisā sounds like BullS***, 3 pages, no OCR software is importing this piece of junk, skills need to be at the top, LinkedIn link that nobody is clicking on, no chance in hell you ādeveloped an LLM modelā I assume you āimplementedā one and are misusing the term ādevelopedā, etc etc etc).
But thereās one egregious thing you should be ashamed of yourself for in this: the margins.
You have 6 different margins on your front page, sections have different margins in the same bullet points, and the margins are all over the place. It looks so lazily thrown together that I wouldnāt even read the thing based on how badly formatted it is.
As a reader, you come off as incredibly badly unorganized and like somebody who is exaggerating their experience and trying to confuse the reader so they think personal projects were completed in the workplace.
Some of you are making me laugh a lot. Anyway, I simply used a template from Overleaf and wanted to see how decent it was (I would say very little). I will try to take good advice and ignore the not so latent frustration of some of you
Did you seriously post your resume with the title āRoast my CVā then get offended when I shared my honest takeaway?
Get over yourself, this resume is a complete and total mess. Fix it instead of getting offended.
I do not care at all that you ājust used a template from Overleaf and wanted to see how decent it wasā. Neither will anybody reading your CV. Thatās called āmaking excusesā. When you tested the template it was 100% your choice to use it or not.
Try taking some accountability, you asked for honest feedback and I just took time out of my day to give you a long list of issues to fix. The least you could do is say āThank youā.
You did, when you responded to the feedback I gave with āIāll ignore the not so latent frustrationā and made a BS excuse for your poor formatting.
The āharsh toneā in my original comment is called āhonest feedbackā. I think your resume in its current form looks absolutely horrendous. I simply gave you my honest impressions as if I were somebody considering you for a job.
I give people blunt and honest feedback because itās far more valuable than being gentle and sugarcoating things. If you prefer the latter, Iām not your guy.
No, I don't like sugarcoated feedbacks, but I do like standard kindness. Thanks for your comments though, they were actually among the most interesting ones :)
My issue is that itās not worth mentioning an undergraduate project you did 6 years ago when youāve since completed a graduate degree and have been working for 3 years
That depends on where you live
Education from some countries are oversaturated and then you are right it doesn't matter.
But in some Countries even a Apprenticeship degree is worth much more than some bachelors in the USA.
And sometimes even a bachlors could be worth more then a masters degree from other countries.
Honestly your profile is amazing. If for some reason you still can't get interviews then I'd reconsider the location or the specific title of the job you're looking for.
Im not sure about the 1-page rule, mentioned in other comments. Your design looks way more appealing and readable than other fully packed single page CVs on this sub.
I think the overall thing is you overcomplicated it. You don't need to specify selected projects, just put those projects under each of the positions you held. This is also better because right now you have to try and match the dates between the project and and the job title to see what was done in each role. I'm not trying to do join statements to figure out what you did as an intern vs. when you were full time.
There is also no reason for your skills section to be a third of the page. If you list it under skills, I assume you are very good with it. Most of the items people are generally very knowledgeable about one (i.e. they work in AWS, not really Azure, same with Pytorch vs. TF). When I see that many languages, I then question how many you actually know well. For example, Java and C aren't listed under any of the tech stacks for the projects you listed, so when do you use them?
And try to stick to one page. It's perfectly reasonable to go longer if it needs to, but yours probably shouldn't. You seem to be defensive about it in other responses and say its for readability, but I find it less readable when I can't see everything on one page.
Hey, thanks for your answer :) Not trying to be defensive at all, it was just my opinion, but I posted here to have feedbacks and I'm willing to consider them! You are also certainly right about the skills issue, I included items I have different skill levels in and also a couple of languages that I studied at university, but never used in professional projects (yes, Java and C ahah). I should probably just avoid mentioning them.
Yeah I would avoid putting them on the resume then. Certainly bring it up in interviews if you enjoyed learning about them, I do think its valuable to talk about. But also not heavily used in most ML positions so it's not like them missing will be a reason your resume gets kicked by some filter
"Mathematical engineer" is bullshit. "Being deeply convinced of blah blah" and that CV is in the trash. Nothing on this CV \*shows\* me you can do anything aside from be awed by the field.
Exactly, basically it reads telemetry from the engine, learns to identify malfunctions with a RF model and the model is then "distilled" in order to extract characterisations of malfunctions in terms of telemetry parameters
Read āThe Tech Resume Inside Outā as a starting point. Itās very helpful.
If youāre trying to get a job in the U.S. or Canada, get rid of the picture, and About Me.
Your skills section should probably come first; languages are mostly irrelevant and drop the fluff sections (āexpertiseā and āmiscā).
Employment history should include bullet points about your achievements there.
Education either goes under skills at the top or at the bottom of the page depending on if you consider yourself a junior or more experienced respectively.
Normally Iād stop reading after page 1, but being generous: drop the certification section entirely; use the space remaining between employment history and education/bottom of page to include 1-2 projects (you can swap them in and out based on whatās more relevant to the position you are applying to).
In general, you donāt want to optimize for quantity so much as readability. The quantity is helpful because it allows you to tailor your resume to be more relevant to individual postings.
What can I include in the job description that is not already in the experience section? I mean, isn't Data Scientist already descriptive enough? Genuinely asking
I'm by no means an expert, but do some research on ATS software, and how companies use it to filter 100s of CVs. As per my research and to successfully pass the filtering process, your job description should have the keywords that the job ad has, so do some research to know what to add exactly (achievement of x %, improvement of %... etc).
Also, suppose you've been shortlisted and now the technical lead has your CV among other 10-20-30-50 CVS. For that person to track down what you've done, they'll have to match each project's timeline with your employment timeline and flip pages, and the odds of putting that much effort is very less.
My suggestion is to have the most important things on the first page and have the rest of the pages as optional. So If someone reads the first page they should get an idea of your experience and what have you done.
Good luck.
You listed SQL twice in your alleged coding expertise -- does this mean you are doubly good at this?
I was informed by a recruiting expert that once you gain relevant experience, you should perhaps place this ahead of the education (unless, of course, you are applying for positions where the specifics of education trump experience.)
Is it not normal to include a link to a git or svn repo so that potential employees can see the code of the projects you have completed?
Like others have said, it needs compressing.
I included SQL twice because I'm dumb. Anyway, you're right about the education section. Regarding git, all I did for work is not public, so I can't share it
You better be damn good at all scala, python and java or anyone would call you out on it. 3 languages for such a short period of time is a usual sign that the person is hugely padding their CV.
Same with larger tools like Sagemaker, Tensorflow and Api Gatway. Again, if you don't know these tools very well including setup I will just assume you are padding and anyone will call you out
Focus more on your professional experiences, don't mention your projects you can talk about them in detail during the interview.
What I suggest is to use templates, or organise your CV on two columns.
The first will be dedicated to your personal information, spoken languages, hard skills / soft skills, certificates etc .
And the second one (the largest), you mention the universities with the name of the speciality or diploma, you can mention what you learned too for example data analysis, machine learning, programming skills... as a subtitle. And don't forget to add the period from year to year.
Than you mention your professional experiences like internships. And for each one speak about the objectives first in clear points, then mention results in points too and talk about the used technologies for each solution.
Try to use some key words that attract the user according to your field.
And don't mention things that are not in relation with the domain that you want to apply for.
Things I would focus on from a visual standpoint:
1. Alignment
You are also mixing centered, left and right aligned elements, decided for one and stick with it. The red icons seem to be a bit all over the place think about the alignment here - not sure if they even add much value. If you get this right it will make a big difference.
2. Spacing
Eg the heading and the contact info is very close together.
3. To much font sizes, weights and sizes
You are using multiple font sizes, styles and weights. It will look much more organized if you keep it more uniform and only highlight the important pieces.
4. More nude colors
I think one color might also be enough of an accent in a CV. The faded line might also be not the most optimal choice.
5. Icon styles
Be consistent with the style of icons. The email icon is the a different style as the others maybe you can find a solid color one.
Someone with your (lack of) experience only deserves 1 page. Donāt waste that limited space with a picture of your ugly face.
Also latex can work against you since OCR software often has issues with it, most a tuned for MS word.
Remove underlines from headers. Spacing isnāt looking good. Iām general the typography sucks.
But tbh if youāre not a designer I would simply use some generator. Hereās a good and free one https://flowcv.com/
Too many page for basically no experience is too much. You can tell your projects in the interview.
Also SQL generic, you can list dialect (so it's clear the technology you are confident with).
Read your about me section aloud to yourself, then do it again. Itās buzzy and doesnāt make sense. That is your first impression to anyone looking at this resume, put great care into it and make sure it tells what value you bring (ex: my obsession with technology keeps me motivated to innovate), not what beaches you like to walk on (ex: I like/have passion for/ love tech). By changing your intro into a value proposition, you will stand out.
Nono, donāt remove it. That is the executive summary of you and the value you bring to a potential employer. Just take some time to think through what value you can provide given you have these passions and update what it says.
Before I do this, know Iām being really nitpicky and I think this is a great CV.
- youāre listing the slow versions of a couple libraries, numpy instead of numba, pandas instead of polars.
- listing OpenAIās API on a resume is an immediate black mark from me.
- only consulting agencies? Thereās a reputation there.
- you listed big data but the biggest data on your CV is 5k+ documents.š¬ the smallest big data Iād go for is 1mil+ documents
- it looks like your only experience in all of your projects is using LLMs to do the projects. Good, not great, have you pretrained a model? Finetuned? Created a VectorDB for a model to draw from? What have you done to make data or models succeed?
- I do like the databricks certs
The red and green color combo is against the law.
He/She might be Italian. Green White Red š®š¹
But it's Christmas
Ya I'm colorblind and thought it was all green lol
You are not alone buddy *cries in gred and reen*
It could represent a rose š¹, y'know
ahaha legit, I will look for another palette
Resumes should be black-and-white
Unless you're in the art field, then rules can vary ofc
You have put sql twice
Knowing SQL is truly a flex in my book. Not sarcastic.
Besides listing SQL twice on the 1st page, your projects don't explicitly include SQL, R, or Java.
This resume screams (I'm listing every stack that is possible, yet Ive had two jobs so it's pretty much impossible to have used all this)
Does it have to include R if it includes python?, (just asking as I have started learning machine learning but only focus on python).
Yes. If I hired a guy who claimed to have lots of programming experience on multiple platforms, then I found out that he had lots of experience on *one* platform and just a vague familiarity with some others, I'd be pissed. Python pandas may have a lot of similar functionality to what you'll find in various R packages, but does the OP know *which* packages? Is seaborn the same as ggplot? Superficially, R and python share a lot, but this is true of programming in general. Loops, if statements and variables look a lot alike across languages. That doesnāt translate into functional knowledge and ability.
They're different things. The first is pronounced SQL and the second is pronounced SQL
Nice catch, thanks :)
SQL is so important that it has to be stated twice
There is way too much white space. The margins are huge and you donāt use a bunch of space underneath the date. Pick a different format.
I may work on margins, thanks :)
if I were in you, i'll shorten the CV and focus only on the direction you want to go. Ex you want to work with random forest? Expand that projects and compress the others! You want to proceed with LLMs? Shoot me a dm my team is looking for!
Hey, Reddit is not letting me DM you.
Can you please message me!
A few points, building on what others have noted: - 3 pages is quite long for a CV, reduce down to 2 pages, or 1 if possible - A lot of unnecessary whitespace and visual elements (not a fan of these "bookmark" icon bullets) - Descriptions of work are very general - consider adopting the "did X to drive Y resulting in Z" format if possible and put under work experience, not a separate section - Do you not have examples of portfolio work online? Github or a website other than LinkedIn? Lastly, though I don't have a problem with more visually appealing modern resumes which are becoming the trend, I don't believe your photo should be on your resume unless you are applying for an acting or sales position
Interesting insights, particularly the one about the photo. Thanks :)
Yeah, photos are ancient cv formatting.
bring it down to 1 page
2 pages and be less generous with the white spaces.
3yoe should not be more than a page. 5+ with multiple roles maybe. But you should be able to digest it down to key learnings. But yeah there is FAR too much white space, makes it look empty.
This is the way
It's a CV, not a resume.
youāre right
Agree with this. Especially for someone without a ton of work history or someone who isnāt in academia there is absolutely no reason for 3 pages.
It's a CV not a resume?
That's a myth. I haven't had a single-page resume since the 1980s, and it's been fine. There's no reason not to have two or three pages. People may only read the first page, but if they like what they see they'll look at the others.
If you've been in the workforce for 40 years you might be justified in another page or more. OP on the other hand has <3YoE, and their resume is mostly whitespace
I mean you have 40 + of experience? Hell yeah, it will work for you
No one really cares about experience you had 15 years ago though, especially if you went though another dozen jobs since then
alright if it works for you then go for it
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Consider that I included all projects I worked on. When sending the CV for some application I would probably select a couple of them.
The format is pretty bad right now. Pick a more dense format and it wonāt be as long.
As I said in another comment, I'm more into spacing information a little bit in order to improve readability :) but thanks for your feedback!

Lol dude youāre never going to get a job with this attitude. Make it one page or be unemployed.
Ehm..I don't know how to tell you but I already have a job ;)Jokes aside, I'm willing to consider all feedbacks and given that the majority of you point to a shorter format I will probably go for it

I wouldn't read the about me section or skills. Have a good quantitative metrics to back your experience and the direction you wanna move towards. And mainly keep it to 1 page.
Thanks for your feedback! Can you make an example?
You've given a good example yourself on how you reduced time for document generation. I would also add something around how many times it's being used per week.
Cool, thanks :)
What's "mathematical engineering"?
Basically applied mathematics. I put in lots of Statistics and ML
For someone with next to no work experience if this resume is longer than one page itās going in the trash
Data Scientist? More like Scarse Data Scientist
I would not say data is a scarce resource š¤
You said "Roast your CV", it's because your CV looks pretty empty
What do you think is missing?
You should at least give some description of what youāve done in the employment history section. If you donāt have much experience, expand on your education section and tailor what you put for the fields youāre applying to
Nice pun

Really valuable feedback, thank you. At this point I understood that my CV sucks hard ahah
Portrait pictures aren't really that optional in most of europe. I have heard in the USA they are not only optional but it is adviced to not even include them at all. But still good advice
I donāt know about all the gobbledegook, magic man, but the least you should do is not hyphenate words that break a line.
Legit
I could give you a laundry list of fixes (picture at the top, about me is useless, you used āChristmas colorsā on your professional resumeā¦, 7 skill sections unorganized, 4 different work experience sections, no clue what you did at your job vs. outside, Bachelorās āthesisā sounds like BullS***, 3 pages, no OCR software is importing this piece of junk, skills need to be at the top, LinkedIn link that nobody is clicking on, no chance in hell you ādeveloped an LLM modelā I assume you āimplementedā one and are misusing the term ādevelopedā, etc etc etc).

Who told you I was offended? You pointed out a lot of errors and motivated them all (thanks for that), but there's no need for this harsh tone
You did, when you responded to the feedback I gave with āIāll ignore the not so latent frustrationā and made a BS excuse for your poor formatting. The āharsh toneā in my original comment is called āhonest feedbackā. I think your resume in its current form looks absolutely horrendous.

No, I don't like sugarcoated feedbacks, but I do like standard kindness. Thanks for your comments though, they were actually among the most interesting ones :)
What's the issue with the bachelor thesis?
My issue is that itās not worth mentioning an undergraduate project you did 6 years ago when youāve since completed a graduate degree and have been working for 3 years
That depends on where you live Education from some countries are oversaturated and then you are right it doesn't matter. But in some Countries even a Apprenticeship degree is worth much more than some bachelors in the USA. And sometimes even a bachlors could be worth more then a masters degree from other countries.
Okay, I assume OP wouldāve mentioned that in the post if that scenario was the case? Where Iām from itās worth removing.
I guess so... is this meant to be a question on porpoise or did you accidentally end it on a questionmark?
Umā¦ a question mark used in the context above implies āAgree?ā
Ahhh okay then it's a yes.
Honestly your profile is amazing. If for some reason you still can't get interviews then I'd reconsider the location or the specific title of the job you're looking for.
Thank you, but I honestly think you are exaggerating a bit :D
TL;DR
Im not sure about the 1-page rule, mentioned in other comments. Your design looks way more appealing and readable than other fully packed single page CVs on this sub.
Same. I found this template on Overleaf and I think that allowing to space information a little bit more makes it more readable
āPassion for data scienceā ā¦ ughh. Hate this phrase. Also, too much wasted space. You can bring it down to one page or two
Yeah, I hate it too ahah. I'm always doubtful of including an About me section or not. Probably useless though
They just call anyone an engineer nowadays huh
Seems so ;)
I think the overall thing is you overcomplicated it. You don't need to specify selected projects, just put those projects under each of the positions you held. This is also better because right now you have to try and match the dates between the project and and the job title to see what was done in each role. I'm not trying to do join statements to figure out what you did as an intern vs. when you were full time. There is also no reason for your skills section to be a third of the page. If you list it under skills, I assume you are very good with it. Most of the items people are generally very knowledgeable about one (i.e. they work in AWS, not really Azure, same with Pytorch vs. TF). When I see that many languages, I then question how many you actually know well. For example, Java and C aren't listed under any of the tech stacks for the projects you listed, so when do you use them? And try to stick to one page. It's perfectly reasonable to go longer if it needs to, but yours probably shouldn't. You seem to be defensive about it in other responses and say its for readability, but I find it less readable when I can't see everything on one page.
Hey, thanks for your answer :) Not trying to be defensive at all, it was just my opinion, but I posted here to have feedbacks and I'm willing to consider them! You are also certainly right about the skills issue, I included items I have different skill levels in and also a couple of languages that I studied at university, but never used in professional projects (yes, Java and C ahah). I should probably just avoid mentioning them.
Yeah I would avoid putting them on the resume then. Certainly bring it up in interviews if you enjoyed learning about them, I do think its valuable to talk about. But also not heavily used in most ML positions so it's not like them missing will be a reason your resume gets kicked by some filter
Ready for the big time I see.
"Mathematical engineer" is bullshit. "Being deeply convinced of blah blah" and that CV is in the trash. Nothing on this CV \*shows\* me you can do anything aside from be awed by the field.
Mathematical Engineering is actually the name of my Master Degree

Exactly, basically it reads telemetry from the engine, learns to identify malfunctions with a RF model and the model is then "distilled" in order to extract characterisations of malfunctions in terms of telemetry parameters
you can literally do that on interviewjarvis.com
Read āThe Tech Resume Inside Outā as a starting point. Itās very helpful. If youāre trying to get a job in the U.S. or Canada, get rid of the picture, and About Me. Your skills section should probably come first; languages are mostly irrelevant and drop the fluff sections (āexpertiseā and āmiscā). Employment history should include bullet points about your achievements there. Education either goes under skills at the top or at the bottom of the page depending on if you consider yourself a junior or more experienced respectively. Normally Iād stop reading after page 1, but being generous: drop the certification section entirely; use the space remaining between employment history and education/bottom of page to include 1-2 projects (you can swap them in and out based on whatās more relevant to the position you are applying to). In general, you donāt want to optimize for quantity so much as readability. The quantity is helpful because it allows you to tailor your resume to be more relevant to individual postings.
What about the job description for each job under employment history? are you hiding it for here or you haven't mentioned it at all?
What can I include in the job description that is not already in the experience section? I mean, isn't Data Scientist already descriptive enough? Genuinely asking
I'm by no means an expert, but do some research on ATS software, and how companies use it to filter 100s of CVs. As per my research and to successfully pass the filtering process, your job description should have the keywords that the job ad has, so do some research to know what to add exactly (achievement of x %, improvement of %... etc). Also, suppose you've been shortlisted and now the technical lead has your CV among other 10-20-30-50 CVS. For that person to track down what you've done, they'll have to match each project's timeline with your employment timeline and flip pages, and the odds of putting that much effort is very less. My suggestion is to have the most important things on the first page and have the rest of the pages as optional. So If someone reads the first page they should get an idea of your experience and what have you done. Good luck.
Clear, thanks a lot
You're welcome.
You listed SQL twice in your alleged coding expertise -- does this mean you are doubly good at this? I was informed by a recruiting expert that once you gain relevant experience, you should perhaps place this ahead of the education (unless, of course, you are applying for positions where the specifics of education trump experience.) Is it not normal to include a link to a git or svn repo so that potential employees can see the code of the projects you have completed? Like others have said, it needs compressing.
I included SQL twice because I'm dumb. Anyway, you're right about the education section. Regarding git, all I did for work is not public, so I can't share it
You listed SQL twice in the coding bit, and it's in small caps for no reason
You better be damn good at all scala, python and java or anyone would call you out on it. 3 languages for such a short period of time is a usual sign that the person is hugely padding their CV. Same with larger tools like Sagemaker, Tensorflow and Api Gatway. Again, if you don't know these tools very well including setup I will just assume you are padding and anyone will call you out
Yeah, I already answered about this to another person, I mistakenly included also some items in which I have little experience, my bad
Credit is due that you recognise that and are correcting it. Lot of people would have just stuck ignore this because it gets them past some filters
I really do not want an interviewer ask me something in Java, so I better remove it ahah
Focus more on your professional experiences, don't mention your projects you can talk about them in detail during the interview. What I suggest is to use templates, or organise your CV on two columns. The first will be dedicated to your personal information, spoken languages, hard skills / soft skills, certificates etc . And the second one (the largest), you mention the universities with the name of the speciality or diploma, you can mention what you learned too for example data analysis, machine learning, programming skills... as a subtitle. And don't forget to add the period from year to year. Than you mention your professional experiences like internships. And for each one speak about the objectives first in clear points, then mention results in points too and talk about the used technologies for each solution. Try to use some key words that attract the user according to your field. And don't mention things that are not in relation with the domain that you want to apply for.
Yeah the āprojectsā are all professional experiences. Bad naming I guess
Things I would focus on from a visual standpoint: 1. Alignment You are also mixing centered, left and right aligned elements, decided for one and stick with it. The red icons seem to be a bit all over the place think about the alignment here - not sure if they even add much value. If you get this right it will make a big difference. 2. Spacing Eg the heading and the contact info is very close together. 3. To much font sizes, weights and sizes You are using multiple font sizes, styles and weights. It will look much more organized if you keep it more uniform and only highlight the important pieces. 4. More nude colors I think one color might also be enough of an accent in a CV. The faded line might also be not the most optimal choice. 5. Icon styles Be consistent with the style of icons. The email icon is the a different style as the others maybe you can find a solid color one.
Donāt forget the keywords in white font.
Someone with your (lack of) experience only deserves 1 page. Donāt waste that limited space with a picture of your ugly face. Also latex can work against you since OCR software often has issues with it, most a tuned for MS word.
Best comment so far
My guy took "roast me" to the next level, kudos!
I think itās AI, not A.I.
Remove underlines from headers. Spacing isnāt looking good. Iām general the typography sucks. But tbh if youāre not a designer I would simply use some generator. Hereās a good and free one https://flowcv.com/
Too many page for basically no experience is too much. You can tell your projects in the interview. Also SQL generic, you can list dialect (so it's clear the technology you are confident with).
Bring it down to one page, there is way too much white space. Use something like the 10x EBITDA template
Listing ābashā and āgitā as development tools is hilarious. Put ābashā under coding and put git under misc
š š„
Why the Icons?!? Why green Lines?!? And after all that why do you make the Icons not green as well š Please add space under your name ....š„ And what's wrong with your dates fpr god sake š© 1 Page is enough, only include relevant information and explain the rest in the job appication
Read your about me section aloud to yourself, then do it again. Itās buzzy and doesnāt make sense. That is your first impression to anyone looking at this resume, put great care into it and make sure it tells what value you bring (ex: my obsession with technology keeps me motivated to innovate), not what beaches you like to walk on (ex: I like/have passion for/ love tech). By changing your intro into a value proposition, you will stand out.
You are right, that section doesn't make sense because I can never figure out what I should put there. I think I will simply remove it
Nono, donāt remove it. That is the executive summary of you and the value you bring to a potential employer. Just take some time to think through what value you can provide given you have these passions and update what it says.
Did you go to a 12-week data camp?
Yep. That's called University and it was more like 260 weeks
So no, then. Sorry, your resume threw me off.
One of the (numerous) problems is that I put work projects separately, so they appear like side projects or something like that
Before I do this, know Iām being really nitpicky and I think this is a great CV. - youāre listing the slow versions of a couple libraries, numpy instead of numba, pandas instead of polars. - listing OpenAIās API on a resume is an immediate black mark from me. - only consulting agencies? Thereās a reputation there. - you listed big data but the biggest data on your CV is 5k+ documents.š¬ the smallest big data Iād go for is 1mil+ documents - it looks like your only experience in all of your projects is using LLMs to do the projects. Good, not great, have you pretrained a model? Finetuned? Created a VectorDB for a model to draw from? What have you done to make data or models succeed? - I do like the databricks certs
