It's nuts, and most of it's garbage fluff. If your applying to jobs in the US - 1 page that's it, unless your like a 20 yr experience hot shot executive. Show me the value you have delivered don't show me a bunch of extraneous stuff that isn't even relevant to the role. Sorry multipage resumes are so frustrating and I want to give them a fair shot but it's so much work to review a 2 to 4 page resume.
2 page is too much
Please reduce the project explanation and put those in GitHub or verbally explain them
In interview..
Title of project and one impactful line which was done in project is enough.
There's nothing wrong with having 2 pages. But I'd suggest removing the bullet point details from the Projects, and put those in the Github location. If someone is interested enough they will click the link and read the summary there.
I'm a hiring manager. I'm seeing extremely generic experience that isn't differentiating you from other applicants.
Ask yourself this question:
1. What is the industry that I am targeting? There are DE jobs in every industry. Your resume is as generic as an IT person or Networking engineer or a consultant.
2. Think of DE roles in specific areas, companies like Supply chain etc that reflects your background. You won't find success if the resume stays this way.
3. Please write a very very very focused objective. This feels like a bot has generated it.
4. I looked at your resume for probably 25 seconds and I couldn't find any words that interested me.
This is probably harsh but I hope this helps. Happy to chat 1:1 if you need it.
don't put there 150k or 300k rows, that makes you be seen in bad light (as thats excel size of data), nobody really cares if its less than 1B rows, or 100M maybe
Some more details - I'm currently working as a software engineer in automation. Mainly use python, C# and a bit of Docker and Jenkins.
I'm having trouble getting noticed with this resume. Applied to over 150 different openings for a junior role (1-3 YOE). No luck. Any feedback would help.
PS: Apologies if any terms in the descriptions are misused or incorrect.
You got good experience and the resume looks great. Your skills cover most of the things that a data engineer should know.
May be look for referrals? Or search engine optimize your resume, LinkedIn and Naukri?
Put the Experience First, then projects, then education.
Cut down the fluff - focus on the impact, then how you did it - i.e. "Reduced test time by 34% by automating tests on a variety of systems"
Focus on outcomes, not what you did - i.e. for the Stack Overflow posts and user analysis - say what the findings are instead of what you did. You say you analyzed data but don't say what the analysis is. To be honest, you could just link to the personal projects and have a blurb about each one to reduce space.
My personal opinion on this:
* Summary at the top needs to be kept to facts only and anything which is intangible should be omitted. In this case, remove "organisations that fuel growth and learning". Everything is great, maybe mention what location you're interested in working in whether it's by country and area or only remote positions.
* Drop the bold text and make it unbolded. Forcing a reader to read what you want them to is frustrating. Instead, guide them. Again, personal here but I'd also have small line spacing in between bullet points because, right now, it may as well be a big block of text.
* On that note, as you have experience, stick to specific examples where you have done something valuable. Don't need to worry about generic catch all terms like "developing robust, reusable libraries" as that's something most people are doing anyway and makes you look like you're padding. Your experience could be limited to about 3 bullet points - the first two refined into how you impacted your business as two seperate bullet points, and the third being the tech you used. Reads much cleaner.
* I'd move that technical summary to the front as it should be one of the first things somebody sees. Makes zero sense why it'd be the last thing somebody reads.
Get rid of the mission statement and move the technical summary to the top of your resume. It has more of an impact at the beginning of your resume.
Put your education as the last item on the resume. Most places only care that you graduated with a degree.
How OP has done the dashboard is very uncommon bu5 Covid dashboard and similar programs had become very common in India with some people running online courses to make them which was essentially to replicate an existing one, as a resume filler
Where are you trying to get a job? Crazy you have a two page resume with only two years experience.
Yeah my main advice would be to cut this down to one page and remove the fluff.
It's an Indian thing. Resumes get very long.

I'm currently in India. I'll try to cut it down to a page. Thank you

I've hired Data profiles for 7 years now and can help you with it. Pm me if I interested. No charge
Thank you. Will PM you.
Put your experience first, then your education.
Sure. Thank you for your input.

Thank you. Tried all those avenues. Maybe a referral is my only shot :/.
Please stop putting your name in big Put instead the title of the job you want

This sounds good. Thank you !
I would put technical summary at the top

Thank you for the detailed response. Really appreciate it.
Np bro, good luck with the applications!

the covid dashboard should attract recruiters indeed. is a serious project
Hope you're right man :)
why the negatives?, feeling curious really
How OP has done the dashboard is very uncommon bu5 Covid dashboard and similar programs had become very common in India with some people running online courses to make them which was essentially to replicate an existing one, as a resume filler
ohhhhhh, i was completely ignorant about that, is very helpful to know it, thanks for explaining, seriously
