I make between 70-77k for the role I currently occupy. I just started applying to jobs in the realm of Cloud Engineer or Systems Administrator type roles that pay between 90-110k+. How does my resume look, and do you have any recommendations? I tried to keep it to one page as best as I can. Not sure if there is a more optimal way I can format/etc. but I am open to anything! Any help or suggestions are absolutely welcomed! I redacted some info I prefer to keep private.

Hey,

I'm job hunting in Germany and would like some honest feedback on my resume. It's

anonymized (company names and the project are generalized), everything else is

accurate.

Quick background: German IT apprenticeship (system integration), then about 3 yearin IT ops, the last ~2 of those running AWS infrastructure at a large company (EC2, EKS/Fargate, servers roughly 80% Windows / 20% Linux, 2nd level, on-call). Did a full-time DevOps training this year, got ITIL and Scrum Master, AWS/Azure exams are still ahead of me. On the side I run the IT for a small agency. Looking for Cloud Engineer / DevOps roles, junior to mid level, remote or hybrid,mainly Germany/EU.

Single column, no photo on purpose (ATS), but feel free to criticize that too.

Things I'm unsure about:

- Is the summary too long?

- My servers were mostly Windows. Does that hurt for DevOps/Cloud roles, or is it fine as long as Linux is there?

- At the agency I use AI coding agents for most of the implementation, I do requirements, review and operations. Does that read as a plus or more like "can't code"?

- I built my own tool for the job search (application tracker + Discord bot, runs as a service on my server, backups etc., also built with AI agents). Would you list something like that as a project, or does it look weird because people might think the whole application is AI?

- Keep "exam in preparation" on there or leave it off until I pass?

- Terraform/IaC is my biggest gap. Would a small project on GitHub actually help?

This is my master resume, where I've listed all my duties and accomplishments at each company I've worked for. As for skills, I've included anything I've been exposed to and understand well enough to grasp the concepts behind it. Not gonna lie, I do have experience in system administration, but I haven't had much exposure to server backups other than creating AD accounts, permissions, etc. or to writing scripts and automation, other than Power Automate (if that counts, lol). Please be brutally honest and let me know what I can do to make my resume more appealing to employers.

I've moved from entry to mid to senior IC roles and have about a 5-10 year timeline to retirement but would like to transition to a management role. It seems like a catch-22 though - need experience to get it but can't get the experience without getting it.

Suggestions are welcome (I'm in the tech sector, but not in a programming or developer kinda role - more implementation, training and curriculum dev work). Would kill for a role as a training manager or something along those lines but even that seems out of reach.

Im a Junior IT Support Analyst with 2 years of experience. Im looking to move into a Mid level role. I've updated my CV recently following some advice on a previous post. Any advice is appreciated. For context i am UK based and work for a business not an MSP. Im looking for Mid-Level Support Analyst roles, not trying to specialise in a field like Cyber / Networking at the moment.

I’ve been working at the same company for 3+ years now in IT Service Desk. I’m doing both 1st- and 2nd-line support, but there aren’t really any opportunities to grow within the company.

I’m starting to feel stuck and I don’t want to stay on the Service Desk forever. I’m thinking about looking for something like a Junior System Administrator role in Amsterdam.

Would you guys recommend making the move now, or should I stay longer and gain more experience first?

What would you do in my situation?

I’ve been applying for months and have only gotten a handful of responses. What’s a problem you see with my resume?

So I’ve been in IT for 3 & half years (I know it’s still early in my career) but I’m looking at moving on from my current company. I’ve progressed quick & I’ve always been able to adapt quickly.
My current job is paying me way below average & im getting to a point where I can hardly afford to wipe my ass.
I’ve been applying to hundreds of jobs, even willing to relocate.
Here is my resume, anything that I should change about this?
I live in the DMV, so I thought it’d be a bit easier to score one of the defense jobs with my clearance, but most of them require TS/SCI before hire. I haven’t had any luck finding a company that would sponsor that post-hire.

Thankyou in advance for any & all recommendations.

Is a Bachelors in Business Tech Management from 2012 in any way useable today? I've been working as a website content photographer/editor, and doing a lot of e-comm stuff for a small business, and I want out. I'm sure transferable job skills are my best bet, but does that degree I have hold any weight at all now?

Hi I recently transitioned to a new field in IT and would like tips on what I should do to improve my resume.

I don't need to here for millionth time the breadth of your work doesn't match your years of experience. Well, that's just great it doesn't change the fact that I am responsible for all of this with the assistance of one Helpdesk technician (End user tickets and assists with more as able) and one IT Ops technician (Printers/Labels/Scan guns). The recruiters that I have spoken too keep telling me my "years of experience" not my skill is what is dragging me down as a candidate. On top of that I am actively merging 3 companies we purchased into the primary company while trying to keep everything just functioning.

Roast me. Fix me. Give me some direction? Idk.

Title pretty much sums it up. I’m currently 8 months into a level 1 help desk position. Due to some life events I have the next 4 months off from school and am looking to fill the gap with a potential certificate but I’m not sure where to start first.

Since I’m graduating with an associates in cybersecurity and network administration I was thinking of skipping the network+ and security+ and going straight into something higher level like CySa or CISSP, but would love some input. Am I putting too much value on associate degrees?
