Hi Sap,
This free resume evaluation is intended to give you an honest, straightforward assessment withsome suggestions to help in your job search. I personally review hundreds of resumes each monthso I'm able to provide insight into how you compare to other job seekers.
Visual Presentation and OrganizationWe’ve all been told that looks don’t matter as much as substance, but in the case of your resume thisjust isn’t true. I found your design to be visually uneven. The appearance is not polished, and itdoesn’t say "high potential" as your experience suggests. Remember that your resume is yourmarketing tool. It’s the first impression a potential employer has of you.
I liked your use of bullets to emphasize, but you probably want to consider limiting them in someareas to increase the impact to the employer. If they see too many bullets, they might find it difficultto zero in on the most important information. Size and type of bullets are also a consideration.Although seemingly minor, visual impact of a resume is the key to ensuring that an employer reads itthoroughly.
Make sure that the additional pages of your resume have contact information on them. If a hiringmanager prints your resume and the pages are accidentally separated, the manager is still able toidentify the additional pages. They will not spend time trying to place a page that has been separatedand will move on to the next resume.
Resume WritingYou have both an objective statement and a career summary. Objective statements are often usedby recent graduates, so you may give the impression that you are not an experienced professional.Having both dilutes your career summary which is a critical element of your resume designed tocompel the hiring manager to keep reading. The purpose of this section is to define you as aprofessional and cover those areas most relevant to your career level and job target.
From the way the resume is worded, you come across as a "doer," not an "achiever." Too many ofyour job descriptions are task-based and not results-based. This means that they tell what you did,instead of what you achieved. This is a common mistake for non-professional resume writers. To beeffective and create excitement, a great resume helps the hiring executive picture you deliveringsimilar achievements at his or her company. Here are some examples of task-based sentences inyour resume:
"Understanding of Technical Specifications from Functional Specifications""Maintained Report to display the Customer name, Customer number"
Employers want to know about your previous contributions and specifically how you’ve made adifference. More importantly, they want to know how you are going to make a significant differenceat their company.
It may not seem obvious, but a regular review of every word and sentence in your resume is a goodidea. Hiring managers are looking for an excuse to eliminate you as a candidate. You may not beable to see awkward phrases and grammatical errors if you've already spent a lot of time with yourown resume.

Digital ReadinessYour resume is 122kb in size. About 61% of resumes are smaller than yours. This puts you rightaround average for files parsed by applicant tracking systems, which is great for your eligibility.
RESUME FILE SIZE COMPARED TO OTHERS
Your resume is saved in an older version of Microsoft Word. Good news: a majority of resumes looklike yours and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) like this format. But, if you have a version ofMicrosoft Word that's 2007 or newer, you might want to consider saving as .DOCX. This modern andslightly-smaller file format is even more digital-friendly.
RESUME FILE TYPE COMPARED TO OTHERS
Resume Scanning Software Litmus Test...93% of all Hiring Managers use a resume scanning software to filter candidates from theapplication pool. To illustrate how you stand up to the automation, I passed your resume through thevery same software that Hiring Managers use to filter the real talent from the hundreds, sometimesthousands, of candidates that apply for a single open position.
