Thank you! This is very helpful. The style is different from what I'm used to but I think I like it better.

[EarthwormRN]

Oh and what exactly do you mean "Likely get slammed for this"?

One of the bigger rearrangements I did, almost to rewriting. Sprinkled buzzwords from the ad around in it so it's more likely pass an ATS 'bot. It would be nice if there's a web open source ATS simulator that one can see if buzzwords from the ad are being picked up in the resume.
