    Want to turn those job applications into job interviews? The ASCE Resume Workshop can help!

    The workshop has two threads. This one is for general resumes, the other focuses specifically on public sector resumes, with experts to answer your specific public sector questions. Submit your resume here, in the public sector resumes thread, or both.

    All submitted resumes will be reviewed by coaches and receive a response by November 15 in the thread it was posted in.

    We are accepting resumes only - please do not post a CV. We also ask that you only submit in a PDF format.

    Please note all resumes submitted will be reviewed before they are published on the thread.

    *** You must be an ASCE Member for your resume to be reviewed.

    Shahbaj,

    Your resume has all the information to make it really stand out.
    A little organization and formatting and you'll be all set!

    Unfortunately, most people don't read resumes in depth. Try organizing and formatting it so that it's easy to read by scanning it.

    Gian,

    Your resume clearly shows you're a great student with a bright future.
    Almost all my critique was regarding organization and formatting!
    Keep in mind that unfortunately, most people don't read resumes in depth. Try organizing and formatting it so that it's easy to read by scanning it.

    Keep in mind you want the most important information and your selling points (like education and skills) to be towards the top where people will see right away.

    Good morning, thank for running these workshops! It's so valuable for me to get feedback from industry professionals on my resume.

    See attached resume - I am a civil engineer, but I am drawn to project/program management roles in the infrastructure sector, so I have framed my resume around that.

    Cheers,
    Derryn

    Hi Derryn! Thanks for submitting your resume and I apologize for how long it took for someone to get back to you. 

    Your resume looks really good. It is clean, each line is clear and brief, and it is well organized and directed towards the roles you mentioned you are interested in. 

    I would consider using space at the top of your resume to clearly state your "goal" when applying to each specific role or opportunity that you choose to go after.  In the same way that you stated in your post here that you're drawn to PM roles and related, I think it would be helpful to essentially say "I am a civil engineer with a strong interest in project management." Then, you can let the rest of your excellent resume show your qualifications. 

    For places where a resume may need to be 1 page, (if that rule even still exists anywhere), I think your organizational skills have already shown that all the most relevant information is captured in your first page. So, you can consider leaving off the second page in those (hopefully nonexistent) cases. 

    Great work. Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Sharan, 

    Your resume is off to a good start.
    A few pointers:
    1. Try to think of your resume objectively, if you were looking to hire a research assistant what would you want to see on the resume.
    2. For someone so early in their career, you should keep your resume under one page.
    3. Your resume should focus on you and your contributions. This resume is all about how amazing you are at _____. 
    4. Keep your resume concise and easy to ready. Unfortunately, most people don't sit down and read every resume in depth. Therefore you should be especially conscious to organize your resume by
      • keeping the text in bullet points
      • starting the bullet points with action words complementing your skills.
      • putting what you want to be read on the top where it will be noticed first
    I think this is a strong start and with a few corrections will be great!

    Hi Daniel,

    Thanks for submitting your resume. 

    You did a good job on sections. There are some minor comments on your resume. 
    Please see the attached file. Also, keep in mind the typical margin for the resume is 1-inch. You chose the smaller number. 
    It is also a good idea of having an objective section to talk about yourself and your goal.

    Please let me know if you have any questions about my comments or would like me to take a second look once you've revised your resume.

    Hi Alamirew, 

    Thanks for submitting your resume for review. Very impressed with the amount of publications you have! 

    After reviewing your resume, here is my feedback for you:
    • Add month which you started your PhD in 2018
    • Suggest showing only one email address, whichever is your primary email or the one that you check the most often (having two separate email addresses can be confusing if someone needs to contact you) 
    • Revise your bullet points so that each one starts with an action verb (supervising, coordinating, etc) and make sure it's in the past tense if it's a previous role and not current
    • Don't be afraid to get into the specifics and details of your tasks
      • What type of research did you conduct?
      • How many graduate students did you supervise?
      • As Highway Stream Coordinator of the Civil Engineering Department, what did you do/accomplish?
      • What other projects did you work on as a highway engineer? 
      • How many civil engineering courses did you teach and what type of courses? 
    I think this will help make your resume even stronger and stand out more. 

    Please let me know if you have any questions about my comments or would like me to take a second look once you have revised your resume.

    Thanks, 
    Joyce

    I really enjoyed reviewing your resume. clearly for someone at your level, a reviewer will spend more than 10 seconds; however, you want to list experience, accomplishments, etc in such a way that the reviewer doesnt think you are just another name for the pile.
    Remove or condense all standard job operations or duty descriptions. Highlight the specifics. Showcase your uniqueness and special projects.
    For someone at this level, how will your experience guide a new team and company? how will your experience raise revenues, improve company culture, increase efficiency and productivity, etc.
    Good luck!

    James,
    Good luck on the move! You did a good job clarifying that you are relocating. Its an important part for sure.
    Overall your resume is good. My main comments are - go a little deeper into the result or benefit from your experience. And watch the language you use i.e. one job you were there for 2 years but you said "became familiar with...". I would hope that someone who worked for two years was a lot stronger than "familiar".

    Zaneta,
    overall I dont have a lot of comments. I like how your non-engineering work experience helps you showcase the crucial soft skills. I think you can highlight your uniqueness and strengths a little more in your descriptions. I dont love a bragger but I do love it when someone knows exactly what they can bring to a team and how they can contribute. Good luck!

    Michael,
    Overall there is a lot of good info but at the same time I think thats your biggest weakness here. I would encourage you to condense the work experience and really hit hard on the specifics like budget, savings, schedule, reliability, leadership, etc. For someone like you, you dont need to list the standard job description duties but an employer will want to read about how many millions of dollars you managed, how large were the teams you managed and how did you effectively lead them.
    Good luck!

    Suggestions:
    -If you are planning to apply to small or mid-sized firms I think the layout is fine, but if you are planning to apply to large companies, consider a simpler layout. From what I've heard, layouts like this can be difficult for software to read. At big firms it is common that the resumes are read by software first and only the higher-scoring resumes from the software review are looked at by a person.
    -On your purpose statement (where you have written "Final Year Student at NUST...") be sure to edit this line for each position you apply for. If you are taking the resumes to a career fair or uploading to a website, make it as specific as you can. For example, you could say, "Seeking entry-level full-time employment working with BIM"
    -In your Education section, instead of the dates attended for your current program, I would recommend writing your expected graduation date. For example, "Expected Graduation: May 2022"
    -try to come up with at least one more thing you achieved or did as part of your internship
    -under the first project description I would change "money" to "funds" or "budget"

    Comments:
    -Great GPA! Good work
    -I like that you included your LinkedIn link
    -I think your decision to take additional BIM courses will help you out in your job search. Best of luck!

    Suggestions:
    -Instead of a Professional Summary, I would put a Purpose Statement (or Objective) that briefly describes what kind of position you are seeking. For example, "Seeking a full-time position as an entry-level civil engineer in structural design."
    -For someone at your career level, the resume should be limited to one page. Reduce unnecessary white spaces and condense the information to just what is relevant. The font size could go down to Arial 10 point if needed. The resume is like a preview of who you are as a professional. Additional information can be given during an interview as needed. Treat the resume like your professional highlight reel instead of a detailed document.
    -Change "Qualification" to "Education"
    -Do not list out courses in the education section. Just include the university, program and degree, and graduation date or expected graduation date. Only include GPA if it is reasonably high.
    -Since you have several jobs related to engineering, remove the Warehouse Associate position to save space.
    -Reduce down the descriptions under each job to save space. For example, you could say "Reviewed and analyzed project documents for errors in Excel and Word" for the second point under the first job. Some of the descriptions that are very similar can be eliminated or combined.
    -Once you get it down to one page, delete the page number from the footer of the document.
    -Under the technical skills and courses section, eliminate those pertaining to Excel, Word, etc since those are covered in your work experience and common skills in today's workforce. Also eliminate the "preparing for" items
    -General suggestion: read your resume from the perspective of a potential employer -- what information would you look for? If you had 25 resumes to read in a row, how would this one compare? Is the important information easily found?

    Best of luck in your job search! It looks like you have some experience that will help give you a good foundation for your career.

    Suggestions:
    -Under where you have your contact information, consider adding an objective line. That way a recruiter can tell at a glance what position(s) you are interested in. For example, "Objective: Seeking a full-time position as civil engineer in project management." This objective statement can be adjusted when you are applying for specific positions at a specific company. (Delete the space above your contact info and the Objective can be added without making your resume longer)
    -If your Masters has a specific area of focus, add that on the same line
    -Instead of a date range on your Masters, put your graduation date (or expected graduation date)
    -On your certifications, add the certifying institution (where applicable) and the date
    -In the future when you have another job to add, combine the 2 internships into one and put "Summers 2018 & 2019" to add space. It is fine this way for now.
    -I would move the "Skills" section to beneath your "Certifications" section, and eliminate the items from the "Skills" section that are covered in your "Certifications"
    -You can leave the relevant courses part on the second page, but in general the resume should be kept to just one page. The courses would be covered by your transcript which would typically be requested as part of the application/interview process.

    General comments:
    -Great job starting each bullet point on your internships with action verbs
    -I like the overall format of your resume for readability

    Best of luck on your job search!

    Xiao:

    I was asked by one of my colleagues to look at your resume.  Impressive Stuff!!  However, there is a little sharpening to do on your behalf --->> WORK EXPERIENCE -- What are your contributions as a lab manager?  Nothing mentioned.  Research is understood as R&D and Publication (anything to add beyond traditional research such as a Patent?).  EDUCATION -- Talk about your internships if any.  CERTIFICATIONS -- PE?  ISO 9000?  REFERENCES -- Please list at least three professional references.  Are you familiar with the Material Research Society (MRS) Conference??  Are you familiar with EERI (Earthquake Engineering Reduction Institute)??  Thanks for reaching out to us!! 

    All the best,

    As a quick follow up to David's input:

    My advice would be to think about how someone without a PhD would look at this resume if you applied for a job (recruiter, HR manager, etc.)

    When I look at candidate resumes, I look at the following:
    -the objective statement: do they make it clear with a brief statement near the top what they are seeking? This statement can/should be modified for specific applications when possible (seeking full-time position as a ______, seeking summer internship in ____, etc)
    -action verbs associated with their work experience. For example: "Lead students in lab activities" "Taught the theory corresponding to the weekly labs" "Compiled flow data gathered from the field"
    -participation outside of academia (could be professional societies, volunteering, mentoring, etc)

    Alan,

    I think you have great experience! I recommend adding a sentence at the top to let recruiters know what you're interested in - especially if you're giving this to them at a career fair or similar where you would not have a specific role you're applying for.

    Ramón,

    You clearly have a lot to put on your resume so the main critique was organization.
    Keep your resume concise and easy to ready. Unfortunately, most people don't sit down and read every resume in depth. Therefore you should be especially conscious to organize your resume by:
    • Keep your experience description in bullet points
    • starting the bullet points with action words complementing your skills.
    • putting what you want to be read on the top where it will be noticed first (you have software skills on the bottom of the second page)
    I would add some portions of your resume were a bit wordy and you were giving too much information. I think this is a case where less is more. 

    Good luck with your application and please feel free to send back an edited version which I'd be happy to look at again!

      Ramon,

      Great improvement! Your resume is more concise and easier on the eyes. I made a few more suggestions that I think can elevate your resume a bit more. 
      My biggest comment was on your job descriptions. Your resume should tell a little story about you. If the descriptions of your job are the same (or similar) in each of your job descriptions, what can I learn from you? Similarly, if you don't have descriptive details in your description of your jobs, then what are you describing? Lastly, try to describe the different skills and assets you developed, honed, or learned from each job? Use those as leading words in each of your bullet points.

      Try to reduce the bullets points to a handful (depends on the scope of each job) and make each bullet point a unique selling point about you!

      Good luck and reach out to me on LinkedIn if you'd like to chat some more! (No need to have the entire ASCE following)

      Emily,

      Congratulations on your internship! Be sure to add it to your resume as soon as you can.

      Your resume has a lot of good information but some of the information looks like you weren't sure what to put. Think of how your previous experience can help showcase your abilities.  You did a great job showing this on second work experience. If you still need to take up space, try thinking of leadership roles you have (can be summer camp) and add them for now. Once you get an internship you should add and you can remove the "other stuff".
      If you still need to take up space you can expand on your volunteering experience or add an interests section (this will help personify you a bit).

      U
      nfortunately, most people don't read resumes in depth. Try organizing and formatting it so that it's easy to read by scanning it. 
      Keep in mind you want the most important information and your selling points (like education and skills) to be towards the top where people will see right away.

      Good luck with your internship!

      Muniba,

      Overall a very strong resume.
      Regarding the layout, I suggest you move the skills to right after your education as that's what you would want an employer to look at first. 

      Additionally, your work experience looks very good but I'd recommend being a bit more specific about what you worked on. For some of your descriptions, they seemed a bit generic. If you add some specific's it'll stand out and get the interview to want to ask questions and furthermore shows you understand the projects you worked on.

      Other than that I was very critical because your resume was already in pretty good shape.

      Alec,
      I have reviewed your resume and overall I like it. It is well organized and easy to follow. However, I think you can elaborate more on your civil engineering work experience to show the skills you learned there. I also suggest re-organizing a few of your sections to put the most important sections first. See attached.

      If you have any questions on my comments, let me know.

      Thanks.

      Hi Amir, 

      I reviewed your resume. With a few minor fixes, you will have a stronger resume. 

      These are the following of comments: 
      - Each section of your resume has a different font format, line spacing, and font size. Make all the same.
      - Add an objective section to talk about what you are looking for. It shouldn't be long. 
      - Separate paid and unpaid experience. 
      - Have your professional experience first and then academic ones. 
      - Move the skills to the end of the resume
      - Try to keep your resume on one page. 
      Please let me know if you have any questions. 

      Thanks
      Siamak Koochak

      Thanks, Joyce for your detailed review of my resume.
      • I will change LinkedIn QR to link. Previously, I attended offline interview, so the QR made more sense back then.
      • I added Sigma bullets to show my love towards mathematics. After you mentioned, I too feel it makes reading difficult.
      • I mentioned office tools so that it covers both Google Office and MS Office. But, yeah, MS Office would be simpler to understand.
      • My major conflict is with the gold medal icon. I received gold medal during bachelor for my overall academic, curricular and cocurricular activities. I thought to put up it up on top beside my name, showing how proud I am to receive it. Is it bad to keep such icons on resume?

      Hi Yun, 

      Thanks for submitting your resume for review. You have a really strong resume so great job!

      My main comment for you is adding spaces to break up your sections/experiences and also indenting your bullet points so not everything is aligned to the right of your resume. This would make your resume much easier to read. 

      Please see attached for some more comments/feedback on your resume. Please let me know if you have any questions about my comments or would like me to take a second look after you've revised your resume.

      Thanks,

      Hi Mosaddek, 

      Thanks for submitting your resume for review - overall you have a very strong resume!

      Please see below for my feedback on your resume:
      • I would update your objective statement to be more specific, it's a bit vague since it can be applied to any position. It would be better if you stated what type of position you're interested in (intern or entry-level) and what discipline of civil engineering (structural, transportation, geotechnical, water resources/environmental, land development, construction)
      • Make sure to start your bullet points with an action verb in the past tense
        • "Co-founded" Shadhin Shop....
      • I would format your Organizations and Achievements section with bullet points instead of in sentences/short paragraphs
        • This would help make your resume cleaner and easier to read 
        • You can provide more specific details 
      • Great use of quantifying your results/actions! 
      • Very well organized 
      • Under Education, I would add "Expected Graduation: date" under CUET so employers will know when you're graduating 
      Please let me know if you have any questions about my comments or would like me to take a second look if you've revised your resume.

      Thanks,
      Joyce

      Hello,
      My name is Kristiana, and I am a non-traditional student going into my junior year this spring, with over a decade of work history. Most advice I've found for new engineers and engineering students looking for internships is geared towards people with little to no work experience, and I would like some advice on how to improve a career change resume. I appreciate your help!

      Hello, 

      My name is Jacob Rogers and am currently a senior looking at graduation in the spring. Attached is my resume, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. The biggest issue I have is that I recently passed my FE (about two weeks ago) but cannot complete the licensing to be an E.I.T. until graduation, so properly showing that is a bit difficult. Thank you for the input and suggestions!

      Best, 
      Jacob

      Hello Everyone,

      My name is Annabelle, and I recently graduated. I am looking for advice on how to transition from my school resume to a professional resume. I would also appreciate any advice on how to tailor my resume to more design oriented roles. I have passed the FE and will update my resume to show that once my EI application has processed, and I have classroom design experience, but minimal professional experience.

      Thank you for your help!

      Hi MD.Abdullah,

      Please see the attachment with my comments. I am not as familiar with CVs as I am with resumes, and since this is a resume workshop, I commented on your CV with suggestions on how to adapt it to make it a resume.

      For more info on the difference between a resume and CV, please see this blog post: https://collaborate.asce.org/careerbydesign/blogs/doug-cantrell1/2021/03/08/resume-or-cv-whats-the-difference-which-to-use

      Let me know if you have any questions, and best of luck!

      Ramesh,
      You have a lot of good info and experience in your resume but the main problem is there is too much. I found your resume to be overwhelming when I first opened it. Reviewers spend 10 seconds on a resume so you want to format in such a way that it is easy to read and they can easily see all the highlights.
      Two main tips for you
      - people only care about what's in it for them. Make sure you write your resume in a way that a future employer can see the benefit of hiring you with your unique skills. 
      - sometimes less is better. you can remove half your resume and still look strong. the formatting goes a long way so work on that too.

      Jyothi,
      Overall not bad! I added a couple suggestions on the attached review pdf. I suggested adding an objective statement. This should show what position you want and what skills you can bring to it all in 1-2 lines. Also think about how, if at all, your research and projects benefit the future employer. If there is no direct benefit for THEM, then dont list. You have plenty of highlights here for an employer to be interested.

      main comments are formatting. Your experience is great but can be cleaned up. There are areas you can remove to condense the info. I like the way you highlighted your major projects. Good luck!

      Posted 11-13-2021 04:03 PM
      Suggestions:
      -you don't need to include your birth date
      -include an Objective Statement at the top (under the contact information and before the Academics section). This should be a one sentence description of what you are looking for. For example, "Objective: Seeking a summer internship with a focus on structural engineering"
      -in the Academics section under "year" consider listing your expected graduation date (for example "Expected Graduation: 2023")
      -I would not include "Perfectionist Approach" under skills. Though it may be true, this can come across poorly. Something like "Detail Oriented" may convey a similar skill without the potential for a negative connotation 
      -Under the Positions of Responsibility section, would the people reviewing the resume know what the abbreviations stand for? (ACM, IETE). If not, spell them out
      -Remove the "Interests/Hobbies" section. If they are interested in knowing what they are, they will be better discussed at an interview than listed on a resume


      General Comments:
      -I like that you have your LinkedIn listed, but consider showing the URL and/or making it a clickable link (showing the URL can be a good idea in case the resume is printed and passed along instead of being reviewed digitally)
      -Nice job keeping it to just one page. This is the ideal length

      Best of luck!

      Dear All,

      This is Marzieh Mirmobini, I recently graduated in Civil & Environmental Engineering from UC Berkeley and my emphasis is in Structural Engineering. I am currently applying for a Master of Structural Engineering for the Fall semester; meanwhile, I would like to join a structural engineering firm to gain some knowledge and experience. I attached my resume and portfolio to this email. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions.

      https://www.linkedin.com/in/marzieh-mirmobini/

      Before getting into the comments, I'd recommend considering Architecture or Architectural Engineering instead of just Structural Engineering since you seem to have an interest in the artistic side as well. Some AE programs include more architectural components than others, so that's something to look into.

      Portfolio Comments:
      -The word "Portfolio" is a little difficult to read in the current layout
      -on the contents page, remove the comma between "historical architecture" and "that bring"
      -on the first "Resist" page, add an apostrophe s to the word "Afghanistan"
      -I don't know of any structural jobs that look for a portfolio. I would not submit this unless requested if looking for a structural position. The ability to design the structures to support an architect's vision will be more important to most of those hiring for structural positions than your ability to design from scratch

      Resume:
      -Add an Objective Statement above the Education section. A recruiter should be able to tell at a glance what kind of position you are seeking (internships, full-time, etc). This can/should be tailored to each position you apply for
      -Instead of a date range for your degree I would put the graduation date

      General Comments:
      -I like the layout you've chosen for your resume. It looks clean.
      -Great use of action verbs on your experience sections
      -Nice job keeping it to one page; this is the ideal length
      -If you haven't already, I recommend taking the FE exam as soon as possible. If you have taken it, add that to your resume

      Best of luck!

      Posted 11-13-2021 04:01 PM
      Suggestions:
      -A recent graduate's resume should be limited to one page. Think of your resume as your highlight real instead of a detailed explanation of your skills/experience. What is on the resume should be enough to catch the attention of a recruiter or HR representative, but the more detailed information can be saved for the interview process.
      -I would take out the core competencies section. Cover the items in your experience section. 
      -Where the Core Competencies section is, change the heading to Objective Statement. In this section, write a one sentence explanation of what you are looking for. For example, "Seeking an entry-level position in the construction industry as a civil engineer"
      -Instead of date ranges on your education, consider putting your graduation dates (month and year). If you had a good GPA, you can also include that in this section.
      -Reduce your experience bullet points to the highlights. Don't be too wordy -- remember that a recruiter is more likely to skim a resume than to really read the whole thing when they make their initial judgement.
      -Since it looks like you have some good career experience, I'm not sure you need the academic experience section.
      -If you need to save more space after the other edits, take out the Microsoft Suite skill list -- that is considered a basic/assumed skill for recent graduates now


      General comments:
      -I like the overall format you've used, just trim it down to fit to one page
      -Great work with your certifications. This combined with your career experience will help you out in your job search

      Best of luck!

      It appears that this has been centered around a project instead of a job search.

      Here are my suggestions for how to change the content when you are looking to apply for a job:
      -Have an objective statement at the top under your name and contact information. Someone should be able to glance at your resume and know within 15 seconds what the resume is for. For example: "Seeking a full-time research position in a geotechnical laboratory"
      -don't labels the sections with "(a)" "(b)" etc. Just have the same of each section
      -change "Professional Preparation" to "Education"
      -Take out the "if applicable" under the DEGREE heading -- it is applicable to all the degrees you have listed
      -Change "Appointments" to "Work Experience"
      -Under each of your previous positions, add a few bullet points with action verbs describing what you did. For example, "Taught students the theory related to each laboratory activity" or "Conducted soil density tests for field samples"
      -Take out the "Products" sections from the resume and add a line that says something like "List of published research work available upon request"
      -Change "synergistic activities" to "Activities and Awards"

      Hello,

      I am currently a part-time post-baccalaureate student who is preparing to transition to full-time enrollment in Spring.  I am 32, so I have prior work experience but my objective is to develop a resume that I can use to apply for internships so I can begin building practical experience as I work toward completion of my second degree (and replace the non-engineering work experience that is currently reflected on my resume!).  I appreciate any feedback regarding how I can tailor this resume for that purpose.

      Thank you,
      Tucker

      Tucker,

      Your resume is very clean and has well-balanced white space.  I made a few recommendations.

      Jack,

      Please see comments attached.  If you're applying for an internship online, make sure you include a cover letter.  I like the overall look of your resume - clean and not cluttered.

      Danna,
      I have reviewed your resume. It is professional and easy to follow. I really like that you have an Objective section on your resume. Good job on that! I have attached my comments on how your resume can be even better.

      Let me know if you have any questions.

      Thanks.

      Yoganathan,
      I have looked over your submission, and it is a Curriculum Vitae (CV) and not a resume. Unfortunately, for this workshop, we are only reviewing resumes.

      To understand the difference between a CV and a resume, and when to use each, I created a Member Voice on the subject. It can be found here:
      https://collaborate.asce.org/careerbydesign/blogs/doug-cantrell1/2021/03/08/resume-or-cv-whats-the-difference-which-to-use

      Hope that helps you.

      Thanks.
