People did this, I used to do jiu-jitsu with a ups guy that would stop and join the class mid day, then go back on his route.

I Had a manager that would go and drink beers in his car durring breaks.

I had Coworkers that would leave the office to pick up their kids pre covid.

Lots of people are messing around

Are the worker bees really cross polinating? I don't even get to choose what to work on, my manager and tech lead tells me what to do and all of that is approved by the director. The everything becomes an okr and it's a huge deal to pivot half way through the half. I'm told this is pretty typical.

Ideally by the time your at code review this is not a question. It sucks for everyone for it to come up.

In a large organization their more efficient to run on VMS. You can colocate services that fit together on one machine.

And in reality no one sizes their machines correctly. They always do some handwavey thing like we need 4 cores, but maybe well burst and maybe there will be an outage so lets double it. Now all that utilization can be watched and you can take advantage of over subscription.

> Before you said you wanted it shorter, now you want it longer with more detail. Please pick one.

Shorter by taking the extra info and pictures out. Clearer by taking away pictures. These can be one line with a single bullet point.

I mean like people to actually even interview. We would sometimes have an opening and no people to even interview.

You can take the feedback or not. I have gotten interviews in the last few months, give a lot interviews and look at a lot of resumes. My point was, the job market is bad, but its not no interviews bad. It is competitive, there are fewer listing, pay is stagnating or even going down. The interview process it self is fucked up. But there are jobs out there.

Your trying to get a job as a linux admin or coder? Not a skydiver?

> and parses fine.

I tried to go to your github and copy and paste kept picking up weird characters until i gave up. You have images all over where there should be text. Three of your companies are images. You have links embedded.

> I could remove all personality, but would that really help?

IMO yes, because i think its hurting you. Your not even getting call backs. Resumes need to be efficient to look at and judge for a 25 year old recruiter that doesn't know CS.

Your competing with people who can put "Meta 2021-2025" in big bold letters up front. You have a giant image, then another 1/3 page of icons.

This isn't 5 years ago where hiring pipelines didn't have people in them and hiring managers were actively recruiting and trying to find people. I had one recruiter tell me they had to pull the job listing down after a day or 2 because there were to many applicants. No one has time for your personality and quirks.

Go to google docs, pick a resume template, write your accomplishments in detail, have some llm shorten it for you using business language. Put your personality on your blog

I did a couple months ago. i did like 4 of them. you want me to screenshot my interview schedules or something? I'm not one of these "use your network people", im to introverted for that. I cold apply through companies sites.

I never had anyone reach out on these who's hiring things though. Also HN whos hiring has been a dead end for me on my job searches.

Is that resume the one your uploading onto websites and job portals? Unsolicited feedback OK or am i going to get hammered with downvotes? lol

Get rid of the cute formatting. Pictures, icons, "fun" section. Recruiters get 1000s of applications per job. It needs to be easily parseable by software and easy at a glance to see who you are. The top third is a sky diver. keep it to only 1 page. Your also not using a professional tone on your resume.
