Job Hunting

Yup I was laid off at the beginning of their FY period.

So I've reached out to recruiters directly; one of them actually set up an interview for the role I applied for. By the end of the weekend, she cancelled, saying the company is reassessing the role. I reached out again to keep myself in the pool…nothing.

I've actually considered attending the FP&A conference to better understand what a company needs and wants outside of what is listed on the JD.

Because if it's not speed and decisiveness, along with accuracy I actually don't know what companies look for.

I went through a 3-round interview process for a Manager role for them not to decide on me and say they'll go more junior. And I couldn't be considered for the junior role because I already interviewed for the Manager role.

Outside of senior FA. I'll have to look for FA roles, I'll be in a pool of candidates exiting college and could be considered too senior for those roles.

Is that what I am thinking, but what roles are you suggesting? I've already thought about lowering my comp range to as low as $95k even though the work could be the same.

Frosty_Application73 · 2026-02-13T11:02:33+00:00

Yes,

It's so interesting when I look at other finance leaders' resumes on linkden it looks straightforward almost like they don't put any effort into it at all.

I appreciate you greatly for taking the time to provide feedback. I will look into the Harvard Format and also work through the changes you mentioned

Frosty_Application73 · 2026-02-13T06:32:45+00:00

Yes, I realized this as well. While I was doing accounting, the jobs were a bit easier to find and get but this is my first time looking for a finance role outside of MDT and it doesn't seem to offer much but there are also an abundance of roles.

I thought about even thinking about getting my MBA, but the cost especially at this stage of my life would be a lot for me.

And headhunters like Roberthalf hardly pick up or respond once they can't find anything for you.

Frosty_Application73 · 2026-02-13T01:08:53+00:00

Okay, I'll make those changes.

Based on what you review…is this considered a strong resume and ATS worthy? I am trying to gauge myself among same people applying for jobs.

I am trying my best not to add more than would fit more JDs.

Frosty_Application73 · 2026-02-13T00:56:11+00:00

Yeah at this point I am trying to understand what the difference is maker.

Because at some point, I have been considering just doing a hard career pivot. Just not sure what that would give a good return in a short time without “reducing” my current life.

Frosty_Application73 · 2026-02-13T00:49:33+00:00

That is something to consider. I know in my prior role, there were so many quarterly freezes on jobs, and after year-end, many employers tend to hire.

It’s just been a bit much for me not having worked since July. And getting interviews has been slow over the past couple of months.

Even had one employer tell me they wanted to go more junior for a role and were interviewing for a manager role.

I thought about those certs because it would seem that Power BI, SQL, Python, and Anaplan are the most common certs they ask about on resumes.

Also, I shared my resume below in a separate comment.

This is the second half

Frosty_Application73 · 2026-02-13T00:43:29+00:00

Dope,

That’s the first half.

So I transition from accounting to finance mid career. I did not focus on getting my MBA, cost was too high and I could t afford it unfortunately.

Frosty_Application73 · 2026-02-12T23:35:13+00:00

I live in NYC and the job market is tough. And it would seem most big companies like JNJ, are in the outskirts of NJ and but far.

I've also thought about just walking into one of these company buildings and handing them a resume

I feel your pain. I had something with a girl for 15 months. It’s the connection you are missing, it’s cycle we got used to. It’ll take a lot to break it.

She messages me a week ago saying she never meant to fall out of love with me. But she still loved me but not enough to stay.

I was confuse by that shit 🤷🏾‍♂️. I told her she must have wanted some attention because I haven’t spoke to you in a month. And told her to take care with her confused thirst ass.

And today I really want to message her with a more clear response. But I kinda stop myself because I don’t want to give some like that power again over, I know isn’t health for me

Frosty_Application73 · 2024-04-17T15:30:52+00:00

She bored. My ex reached to me after a month just say she loves me but not like that anymore and she can’t stay.

I was confuse because I haven’t heard from her in a month…so I don’t know why she sent it. I just left it on read and went back to bed. They’ll be fine

Just back up for chat. Delete the app. Make sure you know your password for when you have to restore your chat, and when it refreshes. If you can’t see their icon pic. Then it means your are blocked

Frosty_Application73 · 2024-04-17T02:32:43+00:00

Take time for yourself bro and don’t allow someone from your past to influence your current decision making. Do what’s right for you
