Show HN: Need some help on my resume
Hey guys, I recently graduated and am having trouble getting callbacks for a phone interview. In the last two months I have been on only two technical interviews (one coding and one design), and while I technically passed (according to the interviewers), I have a feeling they went with someone with more experience.
I really need your help. If you have the time, I would like some advice on how to edit my resume. Thanks!

- bryanrasmussen 8y agoSuggestion: Move the work experience up so first, education comes after work experience. Don't call it volunteer work, you did work for an organization that I suppose has someone who will recommend you. List skills in a skills section so that recruiter can focus quickly. If you built a content management system I suppose that means skills used on that project include HTML5, CSS, maybe some client side scripting?
- jtd00123 8y agoThanks! I'll definitely readjust my resume according to those recommendations. Really appreciate it.
- verdverm 8y agoObjective, the "reputable" part rubs me the wrong way. Maybe say something like entry / first position where can learn / be mentored / grow skills
- vfulco2 8y agoRemove objective. The employer doesn't care what you want. They have problems in search of problem solvers. Write a short paragraph detailing your strengths, achievements, hard skills and soft skills. Use the job descriptions and openings you apply to as the form of your career objective. This is considered a US-centric best practice. My background: I run a professional career coaching service for global career seekers in Shanghai, China. All the best.
