Changes to CV:
> First up put an objective of what your objective in 1-2 lines. (eg: System/Web/Mobile developer looking for beginner level role - something in this line)
> Next pull your fluent skill levels from second page sidebar to first page on main-side. By this, reviewer will quickly be able to see your tech skills first up (right in viewing zone).
> Show some code in your github profile - as you can program - write some neat code for problems in codejam, topcoder, careercup etc. If you have already 've some code - push it to a github.
> Put your SAT scores and college education in viewing zone - 1st page.
> Divide your tech skills by [ system, web, mobile ]. Skill with highest proficiency cam come at beginning.
Cut down on what you want to do ahead (but let that burn within you till reach the goal) in resume as it will not help now. Also search for sample programmer CVs and see if anything helps you organise content in a better way in FIRST PAGE.
Then in second page - rest of the things can come.
Left hand section of cv - content looks dense with paragraphs of texts. See if you can put it in less words.
Apply through as many webportals as possible. Search career section of companies if you have any in mind.
Push hard and trudge on - do not stop.

- amagnasco 10y agoNew CV, thoughts? www.overleaf.com/read/zrwcqvgrftvj
- samblr 10y agoGood :). Can be better. Replace SysAdmin with System Admin. First 3 paras will be better like below - (each '>' is a bullet): > Programming languages: SQL, HTML, CSS, BASH, R, SPSS/PSPP, LaTeX space languages. > Version control : Git [insert link of your account]. > Editor: Vim, Vi, Emacs. > Tools and Applications: SalesForce, Raiser's Edge, Blackbaud CRM systems, Asana, Overleaf, Slack, MS office. > Operating systems : Arch Linux, Ubuntu, Red Hat, OSX, and Windows, Gnome, Unity, LXDE, XFDE, CISC and RISC systems. > Networking: DHCP, routers configuration. Activities: > Installing and setting up operating systems (windows & linux flavoured). > Installing and troubleshooting hardware and software. > Purchasing, and negotiating with vendors. > Excellent customer service, in person or remote. > Partitioning and disk recovery, both GUI and shell. IPtables, firewalls. Antiviral, rootkit, periferal, and social engineering safety measures, both preventative and corrective. When you see paragraphs of text in CV - think in bullets and subheadings. Golden rule - keep each point within a line or two. Hope all goes well for you. Good luck.
- amagnasco 10y agoThank you so much for all this advice! It still seemed a bit dreary so I put some of the more marketable items in bold, I guess I can change that on the fly to suit wherever I'm applying to. Thanks and likewise!
