Ask HN: Professional Resume Critique?

2 pointsby owenshen24over 5 years ago
Hello HN,<p>I&#x27;ve been wondering what process you all use to get your resume looked at. Is it worth paying for some sort of professional service, if friends&#x2F;colleagues have already looked over it?<p>I&#x27;ve also heard that a lot of hiring these days uses automated services to screen resumes. Can anyone who works in recruiting share anything about that? Is it all about keywords + gaming the system now?<p>I feel like I haven&#x27;t given this as much thought as I should, and given that resumes are the bulk of what I submit to job apps, I figure it&#x27;d be good to get some more perspective on this.

Ask HN: Professional Resume Critique?<p>If this was a proper question you may have gotten more response. It&#x27;s not at all clear from that what you are actually asking, which, now I&#x27;m here, are some very good questions. I assumed you just wanted people to read your résumé. No idea why I clicked on it. :-)
