You took the words right out of my mouth.
I think the descriptions of positions are really well written but resume as a whole seems unfocused.
The second I go to your resume I should know what your greatest skills/achievements are.
When I see that you say your "areas of expertise" include strategic planning, machine learning, recruiting, and angular I instantly get the feeling that you are aren't actually an expert in any of these areas.
I might suggest trying to limit your areas of expertise to two or three that are related to the type of job you're seeing and give examples of work you've done in those areas. Then just move the rest down to skills.
Put a link to your stack overflow (just to give more legitimacy).
It would also be nice if this was printer friendly (though I assume you're submitting a pdf to most apps).
You might also want to swap the instructor and Ria Financial positions since the latter is newer.
- hbcondo714 10y agoThank you all for taking the time to review and write feedback. I thought the 'Technology Executive | Chief Technology Officer | IT Strategy Executive' title would make it clear the kinds of roles I am looking for but maybe not since multiple commenters here weren't sure. Yes, there is a PDF version[1] that I submit to job postings / recruiters (which I should have probably linked to instead) that I just updated based on the feedback. It now includes a re-written Area of Expertise section to be more on the management side but moving actual technologies I am hands-on with to a new Skills section on the second page. I haven't updated the /resume web page yet but may retain my k-12 education since I get asked a lot if I'm authorized to work in the US or if I need sponsorship. Maybe I should just write US Citizen :) [1] https://www.amarkota.com/resume/pdf https://www.amarkota.com/resume/pdf
