Your resume is too long. Try to fit it to a single page. When I worked at a FAANG I was once sent a list of 80 resumes to review. I didn't spend more than 30-60s per resume (recruiters often spend way less) and yours would take at least 5 minutes to read completely. This is what your resume could look like if shortened: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lt9zJF119f2G-XDcyBKUOxj6o2X... Also reach out to every single connection you ever made, previous work colleagues, alumni, even the person you briefly talked to in line at the cafeteria. Reaching out to anyone you ever shared a connection with will lead to better response rates than throwing your resume in the abyss that is called an online job posting. |

Agreed that they have to be read in about 30s. It's important to have the major points clear - a summary of the person in 3 words, best jobs, and so on. Someone who worked at Apple 6 years ago, sure, put it up there on the first page even though it's not chronological. The purpose is to get the interview or at least past the first round of resume skimming. The facts can come on a second page.
