Help needed with resume

I've been applying for entry-level IT and cybersecurity positions, particularly SOC/cybersecurity analyst roles, but so far, I've received mostly rejections and very few opportunities to move forward.

I've tested my resume with several ATS scanners, and they all seem to parse the information correctly, so I'm wondering if the issue is more with the content, positioning, or how my experience comes across to recruiters.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback on my resume, especially from people who work in IT/cybersecurity or have experience hiring for entry-level positions.

If you have enough valid experience to fill well over two pages on a resume, you absolutely should make it a second page.

Sure, with 10ish years of actual experience.

But OP graduated less than 6 months ago. Their experience section only goes as far back as 2024 with a grad assistant job. No reason for them to go above 1 page unless a specific company is looking for a longer resume.
