Hey
While someone on the forum suggested that I get my resume critiqued due to the lack of opportunities that I was getting.
Let me explain my situation though.
I have some IT experience with a very large financial organization and have moved from India to New Zealand. Here I am getting a lot of Graduate Opportunities and not experienced positions thus the pay is lesser. I come from a different job market thus I am not being recognized as a experienced hire. I dont have job rights here and this also could be one of the factors that I am being paid less.
I am about to take up a Graduate DevOps role and would like to see my options and correct my resume and try my luck before I take up the position.
Thank you Essendon for the suggestion !
Cheers

Yep, the resume could be a problem here.
- No need of an objective. Doesnt everyone try to do what you've said in those 2 lines?
- Your Summary does not articulate your experience in anyway I reckon. It's supposed to be a 30,000 ft view of who you are. Apart from Security, Network/IT Project Execution - no other words in there tell me about your IT experience. The second sentence is grammatically incorrect, is too long, uses too many cliches and doesnt even need to be there.
- Hastily done? Did you put this together in any haste? You have underlined and emboldened your first 5 "topics" and the other arent.
- The experience starts all of a sudden and is very lean. Put more meat on the bones. Club together some of the bullets. 2 sentences/bullet is my recommendation, though some may disagree.
- No need of a training section. Keep this for the cover letter.
- RedHat Certified Engineer? Doesnt tell me whether you are RHCSA/VA/CE..
- Put months in your experience to. December 2011 - January 2013, for instance
- Fix the tense in your past roles. Change to past tense, that is.
- Configuring NFS, DNSm SFTP, Exchange blah blah - doesnt tell me anything of what you actually did to them. Admin/engineer/support/monitoring??
- Apart from your most recent job, the others lack much substance. Expand on them like I've said above. Again, these bits seemed to have been clubbed together over a cup of coffee in the morning.
Look at the following thread > http://www.techexams.net/forums/jobs-degrees/100847-updated-my-resume.html . Specifically, look at ptilsen's (another TE member) resume that I have linked to in this thread.
Hope this helps mate. I hope I havent come across as too harsh, just trying to help ya!
