Resume roast

I read your resume in six seconds. Here is what I saw.

27 years placing engineers, and 15 years writing firmware before that. Send yours in and I will tell you why it is not getting calls.

Why it matters

The same mistakes cost good engineers the interview.

Duties instead of results. Skills with no proof. The best work buried on page two. I read hundreds of engineering resumes a year and most candidates have no idea they are making these mistakes.

I cannot sit down with every engineer one on one, so I do it in public instead. It is direct, and it is the same thing I would tell you across a desk.

Two ways forward

Choose public feedback or a private rewrite.

Get your resume roasted

Send it in and I may read it on camera, anonymised, and tell you what I saw in the first six seconds. Free, public, direct.

Roast my resume

Have it fixed properly

From $349 USD

Skip the audience. I rewrite it privately for the roles you're targeting, built on what hiring managers in embedded, firmware, FPGA and robotics respond to.

FAQ

What to know before I open the file.

Will people know it is my resume?
No. Before anything goes on screen, I remove your name, contact details, employer names and anything else that could identify you.
What if I don't want to be roasted in public?
Then choose the private fix. Nobody sees your resume except me.
Who is this for?
Engineers in embedded, firmware, hardware, FPGA, DSP and robotics. That's the world I've recruited in for 27 years.
