I took a look at your resume to see if I would have relevant work for you but doesn't seem like it.

Maybe having vibecoding listed as a skill on your resume is a problem?

Alarm bells also go off when I see "Github (advanced)"

While you are powerless to change it I would also be concerned reviewing this resume as with the sole exception of your consultancy your longest tenure anywhere is just two years.

thanks. this is the fifth iteration of my resume in this last year's search. im clearly trying to push for ai-coding, as i think i was often overlooked for being too 'trad'. in reality im all-in on ai.

I am not sure if this will help you, but have an extended, deep conversation with ChatGPT about your resume. Tell it who you are, what you excel at, and list projects and technologies. Then, paste a couple of the job postings that did not work for you.

This might sound silly to you, but it absolutely works, because it will distill your experience better, ask you to re-arrange and generalize, and more importantly, it is far superior to us in finding unique key word combinations that work.

Look I don't want to be rude, but your resume screams "Dear AI Overlords I beg of you, please hire me! See? I did all the AI things to please you! Please don't abandon me, sniff"

It's downright comical.

My biggest problem with your resume is that it feels oddly vague and empty... "API development"? Come on.

20 years of full stack development experience? React is the de facto standard and as of today is 12 years old and it's absent. Absent! NodeJS? Absent!

Now think about what the key advantage of a highly experienced engineer is. Of course! It's the experience!

What you really should be doing is building a meta resume that contains all marketable job skills and experiences. Because you're experienced and know a lot of things, the resume will be too long, so what you need to do is tailor to the job posting and cut out all the irrelevant parts to stay under two pages.

Since you are so obsessed with AI, you could even let the AI cut your resume down (don't let it write new things) and then just send it off. What you 100% certainly shouldn't do is let it write the resume itself.
