Everyone has technical skills, but not everyone articulates their value on their resume, especially their impact on REVENUE and CUSTOMERS/CLIENTS. When composing your resume, make sure it's focused on MONEY—how you're helping the company make or save money.

Just ChatGPT some examples

Yes this is an excellent example that is straight forward and actually helps you get noticed. If you can’t point out technical work you’ve done, no amount of resume beautification gonna work.

Depending on the role and market most people are listing nearly the same technical or functional work they done. The market is too flooded with competent applicants for that to get anyone “noticed”.
Aligning technical or functional work back to $ is usually what gets people noticed. Company quarterly or annual meetings usually centers around $ - since that’s what’s important…the resume should reflect that.

Also considering the audience reading the resumes at the screening stage. Usually a recruiter who might not be familiar with all the technical requirements for the role + fatigue reading the same technical requirements from all the candidates.

Been in Cybersecurity for 6 years and being laid off tomorrow. It will be the second time within a year. Applied for 60+ jobs this month, had 7 recruiters reach out, no interviews yet. Never experienced anything like this :francis:

Keep fighting man, I'm in the same boat. Got my WARN notice 2 months ago and my separation date is next week. Have applied to 75+ jobs locally in that time...so far 4 companies have invited me for interviews but haven't landed anything yet. It's rough out here.

I just watched Bukola video today where she mentioned using ChatGPT to summarize her resume into bullet points for Linkedin
My linkedin just had dates and company names and honestly that was good enough, but like you said now is a different landscape so I just ChatGPT'd my resume and updated my details

I need to work on coming up with numbers, might just make some percentages up. I do have hard numbers for a Kafka statestore to AWS DynamoDB migration I'm doing right now

I'm not in tech myself but with my experience, education and formatting on linkedIn, I still recruiters hitting me up once a week.
From all over the place.
Some are tech companies, automobile companies, aerospace companies etc.

I was recently thinking about the Trump tax cuts and how it was spun as a way to spur innovation and hiring and the covid hiring spree for a second had it looking like it was working. But the moment the Fed raised rates they starting laying off hundreds of thousands. Now this. Intel getting $8.5B in tax payer money but laying off 15K because of a 1% drop in YoY revenue :dead: . The corporate socialism in this country is wild

Yup. Just pisses me off that due to the stock market, now just being profitable isn't enough. You have to be more profitable than previous years and keep hitting benchmarks so you have highly successful companies freaking out for not making enough profits.

Right I vaguely remember that the government just bailed the semiconductor industry out too.


I checked their financials and they’re not going broke. They still had quite a bit more in assets than liabilities.

Trump's dumbass got finessed by Corporations after giving them all those tax cuts.

And what does Biden do but double-down and give them Billions in tax cuts and loans. Only for companies to do the same exact thing. The only thing Biden did correctly was change the FTC leadership. And stop rubber stamping all these Corporate mergers.

I think I talked about on here how at our company we were told that our cost of living raises were going to be cut in half. Meanwhile the guy who was delivering the message got a 30% bump and a bunch of other execs between 10-30%. Their reasoning being that they had to keep up with market rates for those positions.
