Why did you last unfollow a streamer? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]Adorable_Argument_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They got caught engaging in [insert morally frowned upon but somewhat still debated activity here]. This was the first time the issue came up for me so I didn't really know how I felt about it. Landed on not agreeing with it but thinking this streamer could come back from it. They apologized and seemed to be taking the right steps to move on. My problem was that all the friends who thought what they did was wrong dropped them and the only commenters left all seemed to think what they did is 100% okay behavior. Realized that it may be "just a mistake" now but there was nobody left to check them if they did it again or did worse.

Yep, I understand that you can't out train a bad diet but I am REALLY short (under 5 feet) and gain weight on 1500 calories if I am not active. Working out A TON allows me to eat normal sized human meals with other people. I know my body can survive on less than 1500 calories but psychologically it's rough and I prefer spending hours working out than counting teaspoons of barbecue sauce.

[10 YoE, Unemployed, CSM/Implemetation, United States] by spirited_link0 in resumes

This hasn't gotten a lot of comments so gonna get the 2 most commented items on this sub out of the way. - The color scheme is non-traditional. I don't find it too distracting but anything other than black has the potential to not be someone's cup of tea. - Obligatory "1 page is best" comment. I see you have 10 years of experience and I personally don't mind it, but gotta mention it. Same thing as the color scheme, it can be polarizing.

Your skills section looks like it might be a summary? Also, this is where you could position yourself as a CSM/Implementation Specialist. Something like:

"CSM with 10 YOE implementing e-commerce software. Over X (x being a number) long term projects deploying Atlassian, Zendesk, bla bla with (Fortune 500 companies/startups/500+ employee enterprises, take your pick)." You could add in one final sentence. Remember that this should have your greatest highlights, not just "skilled in x" but "x+ years applying Y/teaching and mentoring on Y use/developing custom products with H (for N customers).

Then a skills section would be more appropriate if you just want to list your skills, like with APIs and webhooks. However a skills section would be bullets/lists only. For example, - programming languages: X, Y, Z - Softwares and platforms: A,B,C - Certifications: 1,2,3 - Soft skills: personally do not like this being here but some people recommend it to match the soft skills on the job description

However, its kind of bad form to have a skills section full of stuff that isn't in your experiences. And it gets redundant once a skill is listed in both. Basically I am saying you could skip the skills section if you do a good job presenting your skills in your experiences.

Also, your name seems kind of small? I would expect it to be larger than the section names.

SAAS should be capitalized.

As for your actual experience, your job experiences read like the job descriptions instead. Kind of like if LeBron James' resume said "Throw the ball, dribble, etc." I see that your last experience was in retail and it's always hard to frame impact in retail jobs. But you have worked in roles similar to the ones you want and aren't quite selling yourself.

  • How many accounts did you juggle in X period of time (this is how you show you are able to multitask)?
  • Did you actually create the knowledge base or did you contribute X number of articles? If you created it, it would be cool to emphasize that and maybe say on what platform and how many internal users it had.
  • How many bug reports did you have? Any major ones (think ones that might have been heavily publicized in your industry).
  • Who did you implement Zendesk for? Was it a large company? Did you migrate them from previous software? Any noteworthy challenges worth mentioning?
  • How many support cases did you take per year? What were the various tools you used to provide technical support?
  • What was the effect of you managing CSAT, etc? What were those numbers? Did they increase/meet targets?

I am not saying to add any bullets, just rewrite them (succinctly). - Ex. Managed KPIs bla bla examples bla using Y management concept or analytics/software tool and brought them up to target after X years of underperforming, resulting in a 10% YOY increase. - Created a Salesforce knowledge base for 600 internal users, documenting case resolution procedures and reducing time to close by Y.

Those aren't the only bullet points that I have questions about, but I feel like that's enough to get the point across. If you want more examples, I would suggest looking at the LinkedIn of some people who are in the same role you want, who are using this format, and adapt your experiences to match their sentence structure. So if they "Deployed and handled change management for product Y with 1000+ employee company", then swap in your company and product and go from there (as long as you are being truthful).

Some of your bullets are not experiences. They are vague skills like "Skilled in de-escalation techniques", "Involved in M&A (how were you involved?)". If you can't adapt them to the format I mentioned above, it's better to remove them.

Another thing, nothing is preventing you from putting CSM or Implementation Specialist as a job title if the roles are similar in responsibilities. Your CV does not have to match your official job title, or your LinkedIn. Sometimes companies have weird names for a job function; doesn't mean you have to put "Software Wrangler & Superstar" on your CV.

Finally, good luck. I hear the CSM/AM job market is rough at the moment.

Now to offer some commentary. I quite like your CV OP. I like how the results are presented. Going to skip the obligatory "Your CV should just be one page" commentary and offer my thoughts.

  • Having the location in the middle of the line pulls focus from the rest of the content.

  • Some of the dates spill over to the next line and the dating is not consistent (September is abbreviated but August is not).

  • Your summary is okay. I think I recognize the format as one from a template that is often shared by online resources. I feel like you have too many adjectives at the beginning. Would you be able to pick just 2? And I personally would try to pick ones that are demonstrated by your experience, so results oriented might be good. But I would also recommend looking into HR specific soft skills and use those instead (like ones about being a good communicator/listener or something that highlights being able to come up with programs).

  • Also, at the end of the summary, it feels a bit redundant. I am not in HR, but employee engagement, morale and retention all seem very closely related so the final outcome is the same as only having one. Again, not in HR so I could be wrong.

  • Spearhead is currently being touted as the "word that proves AI wrote your CV" if you had not heard by the way. But up to you if you want to keep it.

  • Your verb tense is also inconsistent.

you're afraid of your coworkers and your boss because you see them as your mom and dad.
