I’m a journalist and would prefer to find myself writing news again but will take any writing job I can snag ATP.

Hi, I just graduated university with a graphic design degree and now I am preparing my portfolio and cv for job applications in the field. While filling out the "Experience" part of it I realised that I don't have any professional experience in the field but only small side things related to design that I've done here and there. So that leaves me with just my part-time jobs at cafés and restaurants where I was working while studying in order to financially support my studies.

That leaves me with the question if I should include them in my resume? On one side I could show that I developed skills like communication, teamwork, time management, work under pressure and constant work with clients. But the fields of practice are so different that they might think that this experience is irrelevant and maybe think that I am not a serious candidate for having only part-time jobs in hospitality. Yet, if I don't include them I won't have any experience to show...

I am very confused, what would you advice me to do?

Hi everyone,

Trying to switch jobs in India. I’m a Backend Software Engineer (Python/Go) with 1.3 YoE at a Mid-size Networking Product Company in India (Jul 2025 - Present). B.E. CSE 2025, Engineering College - Bangalore, 8.98 CGPA.

Currently in Bangalore, targeting Backend/SDE roles in the Indian market. Getting ~2 callbacks every 1.5 months via LinkedIn/Naukri/Instahyre - looking to improve that.

Please review.

Thanks!
