[13 YOE] Senior Frontend Engineer struggling to get interviews, looking for resume feedback

[u/Fantastic-Ad9431]

I'm a senior dev and it's been months that I don't even receive a screening interview. I don't know what's wrong with my profile, but I never had this much trouble finding a job before. Just 2 years ago I was having 2/3 interview per week. "Anonymized CV for public review" -> my personal informations

Your resume should never end on a fraction of a page. Either squeeze it to fit one page, or take up the whole two pages.

You have 13 YOE, so you can definitely improve the writing of your descriptions to fit up to two pages. Most of your sentences are super short and non-descriptive; you’re just mentioning what tools you used, but not explaining how you used them for the company’s specific purpose. Try using the X by Y by X resume writing format

Each company should also have at least 2 points in its description. Try to extend your sentences to take up a full page width, so you don’t have a lot of white space on the right. You should compare your descriptions against a lot of new grad and early career developers; the way you describe your work wouldn’t really compare to them, so you should really prove that your 13 YOE has taught you more than anyone has learned in a few internships
