Hey everyone 👋 I’m updating my cybersecurity resume and not getting interviews. 2 years SOC experience + Security+. What am I doing wrong?

First question: is your cybersecurity resume focused on tools or impact?
Recruiters don’t just want “monitored alerts.”
They want:
“Investigated 150+ security incidents monthly, reducing false positives by 22%.”
Metrics = interviews.

Agree. Also, make sure your cybersecurity resume includes keywords like:
SIEM (Splunk, Sentinel)
Incident response
Vulnerability assessment
Penetration testing
NIST / ISO 27001
Threat intelligence
ATS systems scan for these.

Structure matters too. Clean formatting only:
• No graphics
• No fancy columns
• Simple bullet points
• Standard section titles
ATS hates creative resumes in tech fields.
