Part of this might be beyond the scope of this forum but it's worth a try. I'm currently looking for a new job after having spent the last decade working as a sales engineer and other roles at a small ESP.
My experience is all over the map from sales, to technical, to some marketing hence my membership here. I'm a generalist knows enough Linux and how to code enough to talk to developers about anything at their level but I'm not at the level where I could code fast enough to work full time as a developer. I'd say the same thing about Linux System admin and Devops. I know Linux at a system admin level yet I don't do it enough to be efficient.
I'm a competent salesperson and I know a some marketing from interacting with a lot of marketing managers through my work at the ESP and through MP.
So finally to the question. I'd welcome critiques of things like my my Linkedin profile and possibly resume? Don't pull any punches as honest, constructive criticism would really help. I've applied for sales engineering jobs but also I've applied for developer, content marketing, technical writing, customer support, and so on. This is clearly a sign of a someone who's a bit confused. I do get that.
So far I've had one interview and they gave me a technical project to do that I successfully completed, and they liked me well enough to make me a finalist for the job.
I was proud of that and I'll go to their offices for a second interview but I'd like to get some more prospects in the pipeline.
Here's my LinkedIn Profile. I do have a resume that I will post somewhere visible. I would appreciate any sort of feedback at all as even an incremental improvement could make all the difference.

Resume. Here's a PDF of it. Please let me know if another format or medium would be better.

Also, I kind of like these endorsements. I'm thinking I could use these as like a marketer uses testimonials and success stories. What do you think?
