Met a guy at a bus stop who changed how I look for jobs
Was complaining about my resume getting zero hits. He said to put skills right under my name, not buried at the bottom. Got a call back the next week. Anyone else try a simple formatting switch that actually worked?

Switched to bullet points for my skills and got three interviews, it's crazy how much that helps.

Absolutely do this. I switched to a skills section right at the top and it made a huge difference. Recruiters spend seconds on a resume, so you need to hit them with what you can do immediately. I also started using clear, bold headers for each part of my work history. It sounds basic, but a clean, easy to scan format gets you past the first look.
