Is it acceptable to have the same word begin multiple bullets on a resume? That is, there be a bullet that says "designed xYZ" and then a bullet several lines later that's "Designed ABC"?

I wasn't sure if that sort of thing is an issue on a resume or if it's alright to have some duplication given that there are only so many words that can be a verb starting a resume bullet?

Is this resume format good or hurting my chances as was advised this by my employment counselor?

So I use this format when applying: https://imgur.com/a/FzIJJSH

and was wondering is this good to pass the ATS for modern resumes or is it dated?

Need honest review

  • Looking for general administrative or development roles but preferably in art/design.
  • Should I be listing more accomplishments/stats?
  • Do I need the first paragragh?

I wish I had more hard skills or projects to refer to, but please help bridge the gaps. Anything helps

[3 YoE, UK, AI/Software Engineering, Seeking Feedback] 3 years AI/Software engineering, MSc Commendation, not getting interviews CV review request

Hey everyone,

Been applying for AI Engineer and LLM Engineer roles in London for a few months with almost no responses. Wanted some outside eyes before I keep sending it out.

Quick context: 3 years production AI experience, RAG pipelines, agentic systems, LangGraph, AWS. MSc in AI from a UK university, 2025, Commendation. Currently listed as independent/self-directed since Jan 2026 which I suspect might look like unemployment to some recruiters.

One thing worth flagging: there is a 3 month role on my CV which was a short contract I took while relocating to the UK, as the visa process took longer than expected. Not sure if that raises red flags or not.

Main things I am unsure about: does the independent work hurt me, does the short role look bad, am I missing ATS keywords, anything that would make you immediately pass on this?

Brutal honest feedback welcome. CV below.

Hi all, I'm using the attached resume to apply for remote application security engineer jobs and I would appreciate some feedback on it. I am looking to move into a more advanced senior AppSec role. I am wondering is it too long? perhaps I can shorten/refine the projects section?

I am happy to hear any and all feedback, thanks in advance.

[3 YoE, Corporate Accountant, Financial Analyst, United States] feeling severely underqualified

Maybe its obvious from my resume but I'm trying to transition into the finance industry (anything really, it all interests me). I've been looking in LA and New York mostly. My main issue is that I don't actually have professional experience. Is it even possible? I feel like every entry level position requires multiple years of working experience in finance

Should I Put Part Time Child Care Provider for Niece on Resume?

Some backstory - I quit my job as as merchandise director for a jewelry company about 5 years ago with the intention of taking some time of and then looking for a similar job, but maybe in a different field.

Then, my brother's wife had a baby and I ended up watching her 2-3 days a week for the past 4 and half years (which they did pay me for). During this time my dad went through some really rough health stuff and eventually passed away so I was somewhat of a caretaker for him also.

Since my niece will be going to school full time in the fall, it will be time for me to get a job. I'm not really looking to get back into what I was doing before. Ideally I would like a part time office job.

My question is: Do I add my babysitting time like I would any other job? Or reference it in some other way?

Are font based icons safe to use in resume? (image in description)

Are those icons safe to use? I added them with MesloLGL Nerd font. It look like "󰏲" when I copy paste it.

Just found out I graduated with a 3.48 final GPA. Do you think I can get away with rounding it to a 3.5 on my resume?

I currently just graduated and I found out that my final GPA is a 3.48. After speaking with campus recruiters, I learned that some of them like to filter by GPA for new graduates. A 3.5 can be a major cutoff that could potentially make or break a recruiter glancing at my resume versus throwing it out completely.

Is it unethical to round up? I’m currently at a “you gotta do what you gotta do” standpoint. After I get my first big girl job, it won’t even matter :’)

fonts - TNR out of style??

Was having a friend looking at my resume and she said times new roman looked “old.” 😭😭 I forgot her reasoning but she probably saw it off of a tiktok lmfao

I’m a high schooler so I’m not in any field but I’m leaning towards data science / biotech fields and applying to some internships now for the fall. Does font vary across fields? Which font should I use?

  • I want to target Industrial Design roles like Design Strategist, Foresight Specialist, Systems Designer, and Service Designer.
  • Healthcare, Planning of any sort, Education, Water, Energy
  • Bangalore, India. Willing to Relocate(But I prefer Bangalore)
  • Just graduated from my master's degree in Industrial Design. I'm more of a big picture kind of guy and like to work in facilitating a project through different research methods like speculative and systems thinking than designing a physical product. The major problem is that I do not have any experience working in this field.
  • I would like feedback on the entire resume
  • Visa/citizenship status is not affecting my search

Can I list newspaper articles on my resume?

I used to own two last-mile delivery services like Doordash. The first company I owned was one where I owned plurality. The second was an owner/consulting role. Both were sold to a then leading public company which later went bankrupt. With that said, can I list newspaper articles proving my success? The articles indicate massive growth and how much the public supported my company. My name is in all the articles. Thanks in advance!

How to list work for family business on resume?

I worked for a few years as a kind of secretary for a family member’s small self-owned practice. I was never paid and just did it to help out, but I’d like to list the job and skills in my resume. Could I do this? Would it look suspicious to employers since it won’t show up on a background check or employment verification?

[2 Yoe, Unemployed, Platform/Infrastructure Engineer, ID]

It's been about 1-2 months since I've applied applications here and there. Exactly 405 applications, 6 interviews. I passed most of the interviews, however after a few weeks i got a phone call/email from 4 of the interviews that i didn't pass the resume screening process?

I'm not sure where went wrong? Is there any advice that you could give me, what i could improve on?

I'd also like to ask regarding my description, is it too lengthy in which it looks like a brick of text? Perhaps not informative enough?

I'm currently looking for platform/infrastructure engineering roles. But I'm open to flexibility as long as the work aligns with what I'm capable to do and improve on.

Currently looking for jobs within Singapore, Australia, Canada, Europe and I would require a visa sponsorship. However, I've been applying to local jobs too (although there aren't as much roles open currently in the country I'm residing at.) I'm flexible with working remotely too.

I do know one of the biggest bottleneck is my visa, and i have accepted that with little, very little hopes of possibly getting one.
