Hector - you have a solid resume with an excellent format - your objective statement is clear and concise. My critiques are centered around your work experience: For the Graduate Assistant - the first bullet simply restates the work experience - provide more substance in your descriptions - why is ...

Ambar, You have some quality items on your resume but the format needs some adjustments. Change Profile Summary to Objective - also, the description you have tells the employer about your characteristics but not what you are looking for. Reword this and be more precise - what are you looking to ...

Patricia, Looking at your education listings, it became obvious to me that you changed professions. For employers to better understand you and what you are looking for, you need to include an Objective statement at the top of this resumes. Your change in career, your breadth of experience all points ...

Edmund, Since you have been in the workforce for over 11 years, I agree with your format of experience first, education towards the bottom as most employers will care more about your work history vs. your education because you are considered "established" in the engineering field. I think your objective ...

Mohammed, First question I am left with after reviewing your resume is "When do you graduate?" - put a forecasted graduation date. In your Objective, I think the first two (2) sentences are unnecessary because the rest of your resume does an excellent job in describing you. Expand your objective ...

Andres - I like the format of your resume - it reads well; however, your statement at the top is more of a description of you than an objective statement. After your PhD in Structural Engineering, what are you looking to do - work in academia? Public sector? Private sector? I think that needs to be reflected ...

Anum - overall, very impressive resume with great experience; however, for your most recent experience in 2023, I feel that the descriptions are very vague and generic - unlike your other experiences where you describe exactly the scope of your work in those internships. I would re-write those first ...

Bilal - I think your resume is too cluttered - most recruiters, especially hiring engineers, do not have time to read a resume like yours with the vast amount of information provided. You need to re-organize, highlighting your experience first (re-write your most recent experience, it is too generic ...

Daniel, To add to David's comments, I agreed with your listed edits and I would recommend moving your work experience higher up to be directly under education. Your Honor/Awards and Technical Skills are secondary items to hiring managers and they want to see your experience, especially since you ...

Anum, You have some good entry level experience but you did not expand on it enough for me to know what area of Environmental Engineering interests you the most. I am not a fan of Related Coursework - I believe you should delete it and expand on your work experience, especially your last 2 internships. ...

Glenn - excellent resume with a great deal of experience. I liked the overall format and thought your resume was innovative with the paragraphs in the left column. I have to be honest - your work experience in paragraph form (small font) gets very wordy and takes awhile to get through. Most hiring engineers ...

Shivesh, Your resume's format is interesting and appealing. My suggestions are as follows: Remove any "percentages" from the descriptions - I do not think these are necessary and might be interpreted differently by employers. Add more writing to your interships as they will attract ...

Rich, I think your resume needs some re-shuffling. With your years of experience, I believe Education should go towards the end of the resume, not the beginning. For the positions you will be applying for, your potential employers are more interested in your experience than your education. I would ...

Julia, Great resume with some good engineering work experience. Since Environmental is a fairly vast field, I think your resume good benefit from a Objective statement at the top (maybe in place of relative coursework - most engineers reviewing the resumes understand the basic curriculum that you ...

Tugsdelger, Your experience and education are very diverse, covering a wide spectrum of topics so I think the top of your resume would benefit from an opening "Objective" statement - letting the reviewers know "what type of career and discipline are you looking for a career in?" In addition, as you ...

Chiyan, I think your resume suffers from too much information - I do not think all of the test scores or the section from Saint Too Sear Rogers is necessary. Without an internship, you should consolidate this to 1 page and include a statement at the top of your resume "looking for my first internship ...

Soe, Excellent resume with a plethora of experience. How can you make yourself stand out from other applicants? Add an Objective statement - what type of career are you looking for? Are you looking for a summer internship or a full-time position? I think adding an Objective statement will assist your ...

Shivaji, Overall, a very solid resume but I have a few comments to assist you. In the "Summary" section, which many times I see named "Objective", you are very wordy. I would limit this to 2 sentences - let your resume describe your experience. Leave the sentence in there about being a Masters student ...

It is a highly competitive market out there and I can understand your frustration but keep trying and submitting for positions. ...
