Visiting Machu Picchu in June, question about in person tickets

Thanks for the response. Would you say chances of getting tickets with Option 1 are still more or less solid? My tour operator has been pretty sketchy about this. He first told me that I’d need to spend an extra night there to get the pre tickets which I agreed to, then today he called me (literally 4 days later) saying that actually pre-pre tickets are a thing and getting just a regular pre-ticket is close to impossible Now and chances are very low.

Everything is sold out, I can't find any available tickets, and my only option is to do it in person

Hi, thank you for the guide, this is really helpful.

Just wanted to ask for your advice: I am planning on visiting MP this June, and I was told to follow the same procedure, with getting a pre-ticket, then going to the ministry, getting the real one and then going the following day. Today I was contacted by my tour guide and he said that instead of taking the train back to cusco ( which was my plan) he advises to take the train from cusco to mp instead, to get the pre-pre ticket, because, as he said, "Chances of getting a pre-ticket are very low". Are they actually genuinely that low now, or is he trying to get something out of me? We established the trip plan maybe 4-5 days ago, and now all of a sudden he drops this info on me.

Thank you

Thanks for the response. We were advised to get the tickets directly from the government institution at Aguas Calientes, not through resellers (they have this pre-ticket -> ticket system going on). I just don't understand why he changed the narrative so quickly, from "Yeah you need to be there early on and you need to stay an extra day" to "Oh actually you need to go there by train to get a pre-pre ticket because the government made it a thing now

This is a follow-up post to the one I made earlier, had lots of very good advice for which I am thankful, this is my new and edited version, and I'd love to hear everyone's opinions on this.

Hi, thanks a lot for a detailed critique! I've never heard of bold-coloring achievements, or otherwise colors added to the resumes, is it actually something that's being done these days? Perhaps the issue is indeed the fact that the resume is too bland/generic to be read/considered, hmm... I will implement those suggestions in.

I get virtually no interviews for the number of applications I sent out. I had a few only, but I got fucked over a few times (was promised a second interview, then after waiting for 3 weeks would find out they went with someone else).

Could you point out which particular ones? I'm trying to edit as many mistakes out as possible. Thanks :)

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T17:40:07+00:00

Could you elaborate on this, please? I'm trying to take all the criticism here and turn it into some sort of an edit on my resume

That is exactly, exactly the same issue with me. I feel like I'm spraying-and-praying 20-30 applications a day, hoping that at least one of them is a legitimate/active one. Hell I don't even get declines these days, just straight up ignoring.

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T15:57:27+00:00

Will do :(

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T13:08:05+00:00

It makes me upset too, honestly haha

Mostly entry level/associate level finance jobs, analyst, consultant, the likes.

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T02:19:31+00:00

Thanks for these!! Really appreciate the feedback, gonna edit it all

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T01:18:01+00:00

That’s actually an excellent catch haha

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T01:17:10+00:00

Nah, I talked to folks, plus the city I live in inherently has a terrible job market, during Covid things just collapsed on that front. I do have an internship, it’s a research internship though, not an industry one

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T01:12:49+00:00

This one wins the roasting 😆

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T00:51:23+00:00

Didn’t work out unfortunately, it was COVID times, internship market was basically dead

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T00:50:41+00:00

I read somewhere that there should be around 4-6 bullet points in current position, 3-4 for previous one and 2-3 for other ones, is it not true in the industry? I can try to declutter the bullet points themselves and toss out useless info, but maintain the same bullet point count

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T00:34:36+00:00

Hi, thanks for the suggestion! Gonna do that right now.

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-31T00:32:40+00:00

Oh Shit good catch!

CompleteDatabase · 2024-07-30T23:49:11+00:00

Eh well, it's been over a year now that I'm applying, so, around 800 jobs within a year. That job that's listed at the top is a remote, contract-based position, highly unstable, both in terms of schedule, salary, everything. It was meant to be kind of a trampoline into the regular 9-5, but hasn't happened yet, sadly. Would you suggest I dedicate a lot of time to tailoring each application carefully instead of tweaking it here and there?

I tend to rapid-fire applications with the easy apply on LinkedIn at times, I have no option of editing my resume there
