I'm a CS grad at a T50 CS University. I graduate at the end of this semester (May 2026). I am trying to understand if there is anything missing in my resume and if there's anything I can start doing to improve myself as an applicant. I have been applying ML and Data roles mostly, SWE roles from time to time.

PLEASE DON'T HOLD BACK!

Not sure if this is ok for this group.

I’m not sure what else I can do to make it pop. I don’t have many GCSEs as I was homeschooled and had to pay for them. I am gaining more experience by doing some IT design/website making (freelance work). I want it to look appealing to companies so I can gain a degree apprenticeship in IT. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Seeking: corporate customer service/experience role or SDR/BDR (SaaS)

Please evaluate in terms of formatting. Ik the second one is probably too long and my education isn't always relevant. But if I'm going to use a resume, which format is better? I cannot remember who told me to start doing this but I've always used bullet points in the summary. Am I doing the wrong thing?

As the title states, I’m transitioning out of the military after nearly 13 years and looking to move into the defense tech industry. I’m targeting roles such as Mission Operations, Product Operations, Program Operations, Field Operations, and Deployment Lead positions.

I’d really appreciate any feedback or critiques on my resume. Thanks in advance!

Hello all if you would be so kind as to look over my resume and let me know what I am doing wrong? I would classify my experience as reliability engineer but my 2 most recent roles have been hybrids Support Engineer /SRE /Incident Management /Problem Management. After a recent Lay off I wanted to pivot to more infrastructure related roles and built projects gotten certificates and reached out to recruiters. I have at this point put in over 300 applications since November with only 3 interviews. I have changed my resume many times. I tailor my resume admittedly lightly to fit the job description. I have applied for Cloud operations roles, SRE distributed systems roles, Cloud support roles, I even went back and started applying to regular incident Management roles again. I even started cold emailing and messaging recruiters to have them just REVIEW my resume(none did). I would like to end up in cloud infrastructure but at this point I would just like to start getting interviews again at all. Thank you for reading any help is MUCH appreciated.
