I’m currently employed and have a good solid work history, but I’m looking for a new job.

Maybe it’s just the times we’re living in, but I’ve always had a pretty easy time getting interviews and jobs in the past and this time around I’m not even getting interviews. It’s starting to freak me out because I’m convinced there’s an invisible (to me) typo in there or something.

If anyone who has experience with hiring or reads a lot of resumes in their position would be willing to take a look at mine I would appreciate it. I’m not sure what happens to formatting in a PM, maybe email would be better if you’re willing.

Thanks.
