Hi HNers

Please provide your resume in word format. If you want please delete your name or personal information.

I am not getting calls with my current resume. I just want to compare with others or want to know how others present their-self. Please share your resume if possible it might help others.

Thanks

It would be less intrusive if you simply put a link to your current resume. There are quite a few people on HN who are hiring managers or at least take part in their company's hiring efforts, and can give you relevant feedback.

PS: maybe an insistence on Word is the problem - PDF (or web) has been the better format for resumes for 10 years now.

The issues with most resumes isn't the template. It's the mediocre content full of fluff and buzzwords rather than anything tangible.
