I'm looking to leverage my internship experience for junior/entry roles in IT support, administration, etc. The target role in the title is just an example as these roles have many names.
I'm in southern Ontario and applying nation-wide. I literally don't care where the job is as long as it's in Canada. I try to let recruiters know that I don't need relocation assistance but there's only so much you can say through a portal.
I've been actively applying for the past 4-6 weeks and am ~50 applications deep. I use this resume for IT roles and a different one for software engineering roles as I have many projects related to that field. Anyways, I HAVE GOTTEN ZERO CALLBACKS. I have a few questions.
-
Can someone gauge my overall resume formatting? Is the readability good? How about space efficiency? Are there better formats out there anyone can share?
-
My projects section has both networking and dev stuff. Do you recommend I start working on new projects more related to enterprise IT stuff instead? Are my current projects hurting me?
-
For 0-1 YoE, how are my certs looking? I've heard of the CompTIA trifecta but is it worth attaining all three even before my first full-time junior IT role? I've also heard of the recruiter stigma towards candidates with tons of certs and no experience, so surely there's a point where I should stop?
Overall, I've been getting no callbacks for both soft. eng and IT roles but I'm nonetheless wondering which I'll have a better chance of landing given my background. Also, I'm sure theres tons of issues on here that I'm overlooking so fire away! I appreciate any and all feedback, thanks in advance!!!
