At a very first glance your CV is very good and much better than many other posted in this sub.

Why isn't it working? I don't really know, but it's probably the general state of the economy, so, don't take it personally.

Edit: some additional tech worth mentioning: docker, experiment tracking systems such as mlflow or clearml, linux, "agentic" stuff like n8n, codex, claude code, openclaw etc.

Might be concise to single page

  • Limit to one page
  • Remove the first section
  • Merge subsections of technical skills and reduce clutter, save some space
  • Add links (GitHub/deployment) for your projects
  • Reduce white space
  • Try to keep bullet points to either one full line or 2 full lines. Multiple lines with content in 1.5 lines reduces density, and creates more white space.
  • Look up online for action words and use them in your bullet points. Makes it look more impactful Once you are able to optimise over white space, you will be able to fill in more content efficiently in one page.

Try one page. But it looks great!

I think it is impossible to use such many frameworks about ml when nowadays pytorch is dominant. May be they think you are lying.

Are you using AI to generate this? If so, which one? I ask because this looks extremely similar (the layout and wording) to a bunch of resumes that I rejected for the sole reason that they looked fake.

Claude AI... Where is the fakeness, the objectives?

u/sunflower___field 7d ago

It’s the entire layout. I can’t share the resumes that we rejected but they look exactly like yours. It starts with, ‘[job title with x years of experience]’ and then has the same type of bulleted layout with minor changes between the word layout.

I will say that the applicants resumes looked extremely good like yours but once I saw the 5th one we arbitrarily decided to exclude those resumes.

I’m not saying don’t use AI (since yours looks really good) but perhaps use your own layout or use Microsoft word’s resume templates to make yours look different and stand out.

The first half of your cv is effectively blank. Summary and skills sections don't count because recruiters are looking for qualifications and not keywords. I offer paid cv review and improvement if you're interested

Thank you not interested.

i would suggest limiting to 1 page until you have 10+ YOE. your project section is strong and i doubt recruiters even get to it.

Weak points / Problems 1. Overloaded lag raha hai Pehli nazar mein hi text bahut zyada hai. Recruiter usually 6–10 second scan karta hai. Yeh CV: dense crowded long paragraphs wala feel de raha hai. Improve: bullets shorter karo spacing badhao important keywords bold karo 2. Beginner ke liye unrealistic lag sakta hai Agar kisi ke paas sirf 2–3 years experience hai aur itne saare tools listed hain: TensorFlow PyTorch Spark AWS Docker NLP GIS Power BI DevOps toh kabhi kabhi recruiter sochta hai: "Sab thoda thoda aata hai ya genuinely strong hai?" Better: strongest skills top pe less-used tools hata do 3. ATS friendly hai but human-friendly thoda kam ATS pass ho jayega probably. But human readability: medium not excellent
