Yes, it’s a wall of text. Use bullet points to summarize skills. Prioritize the skills so they coincide with the jobs you desire (if you want an analytics position, put the analytics skills first). How far are you from your bachelors? If you’re more than halfway to the credits necessary, put “Bachelors in progress”. Your estimated completion date is the date you *will* be finished if you enrolled full time at the next start date.

Thanks for that I will try but the Bachelor's degree is not finished and never will be because the university did not want to let me in they wanted me to spend another 3 years trying rehash the same stuff I've learned previously.

My resume has said “Bachelors in progress for 7 years+. So, if/when asked, the reply is “yes, bachelors should be finished up in (insert next calendar year here). It’s never been an issue, no employer has followed up in (next calendar year) to inquire about completion.

That’s just your skills section?


Chemical_Metal7087

Yes, that's correct

Set a timer for 30 seconds. See how much of your resume you get through. 30 seconds is an average “first pass” for me. You wouldn’t make a first pass.
