Haha maybe… I wish. I know it has issues, particularly when I get lazy and use the full one. Instead of tailorimg it for a specific role. But hey, sometimes after the 467th application ya just don’t feel like it.
I did have 3-4 versions at one point, for various job roles but about 2 days ago I reworded my resume for the thousandth time and haven’t gotten around to making separate versions yet.
Good tips, I think that I tend towards a mix of what I was responsible for and the accomplishments I made. But I might be too much one way than the other.
Something I struggle with is keeping it brief enough to not end up with a 4 page resume, while also getting in those keywords and tools and such that ATS systems are looking for.
First, tech, everything from hardware to software, switchs, Meraki, Unifi, WatchGuard, RMM software, Veeam, backup disaster recovery setup/maintenance, failure redundancy, domain admin, server (Windows and Linux) admin, web hosting. Azure, M365, traditional office, HTML/CSS/Javascript/PHP/Python/Powershell/BASH, etc etc
Second, moving industry. I can’t physically do the moving anymore, but I was a driver and crew lead for over a year. Afterwards I was the sales/estimation office assistant manager. I still did my own estimates, but also reviewed all outgoing estimates and handled any customer issues with our estimates. I also handled the commercial contracts.
Third, I worked for a Steelcase dealer and did vendor pricing, discounting, freight rates, POs, etc.
Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. I’m fine with sharing my resume with whoever would like to look (no email needed, it’s hosted on my website). I have applied at the lowest of low tech jobs and completely unrelated jobs but yes, as someone below pointed out my resume is probably too experienced for them to hire me for it.

To all who previously replied thank you - your encouragement and letting me know I’m not alone meant a lot....
I've lost it all and I don't know how to handle it
Let me start. I previously resided in a north eastern US state, I had a good job, a good partner, a nice place to live. I thought I’d made it....
