1. Location - I've never heard of El Rehab City, but just the word "rehab" has negative connotations about one's past in the English language. If you were in the US your chances would go up, but it's really a tough process for companies to hire non-citizens.
2. GPA - It looks like there's a discrepancy on your GPA: 0.86 > 0.7.
3. Specialize - Tailor your resume for a specific job title. You may know every programming language, but that might be just extra fluff to read if the position is for a front-end developer. Keep the other info off to the side if you have to but keep it brief.
4. Layout - a recruiter from Apple once told me to put your skills right after your contact info. Education, experience, etc after that. Your resume could also use some improvements in formatting.
- jklein11 11y agoDo you honestly think the name of this person's city is the reason why recruiters aren't biting?
- sbussard 11y agoIs it worthwhile to point out that humans have biases? When someone is looking at two similar candidates? Is it fair? Why didn't the Chevy Nova sell well in South America? No logical reason. Besides confusing things that have nothing to do with each other because of the name. But living thousands of miles away from where you want to work says to a recruiter "too hard, pick another candidate from the pool of 400,000 applicants"
- jklein11 11y agoI 100% agree that the recruiter would have an adverse reaction to a city name that they have a difficult time pronouncing. I disagree that a recruiter is going to look at a city named "Rehab" and think "hmm... might be a drug addict" even subliminally.
