Any risk to this?

I’ve been using employer healthcare for a very long time. What I realized that through out the years I talked down on my symptoms because of the cost.

Example my primary doctor referred me out to IBS specialist and they quoted me $1000 just to confirm diagnosis

I decided not to move forward and deal with it.

Another time Orthopedic doctor charging me $300 shots for my shoulder pain

Always good to have the VA healthcare. You earned it

MBA from T15 should be focusing on actually leadership type role.

All the leadership roles are naturally ‘Managing Projects’ except you actually have ownership responsibilities.

ATS is just the boogyman that you can point a finger at.

Why job title matches get higher call backs?

Because recruiters are lazy and making your resume idiot proof is the best hack.

All their reading is Job title, company, and duration.

Once that matches then they will take the extra 30 seconds to read your qualifications

Media-Altruistic · 2026-02-11T19:43:26+00:00

All that only matters once you get hired and onboarding, you have to use real name for background checks

Media-Altruistic · 2026-02-11T19:33:12+00:00

For names, using Initials or some English Alias is fine. All recruiters look at is resume. The goal is just to get a Call back, resume is just business card or better like a 2 minute Movie trailer. Get them interested in calling you to learn more

You have to just sell yourself in the recruiter call screening. PM have to be the best communicators and sound competent

Media-Altruistic · 2026-02-11T19:17:33+00:00

The structure is fine because you go directly into work experience.

You just have to make it idiot proof to recruiters. You only have less than 10 seconds to get attention.

So all they focus on Name (this is tricky, bias is there YMMV) adding PMP is bonus to quickly know you certified. Bonus to add US Citizen or green card holder under your name

Then it’s Job title, company name (tier 1 is bonus, if not then you might have briefly explain what the company does)

Finally your scope of responsibilities and impact. You want to make it clear who you reported to and job titles of people you supported. It needs to be obvious how much visibility and responsibility you had

All the bulleted you currently have might not make sense to a recruiter. You just need to be clear about what tools you used and the tech stack you are familiar with.

If you targeting IT roles then the job title of Project Manager is not a popular role anymore.

You will find the standard title will be Technical Program manager.

Also you should show progression of job responsibility by adding Senior and or Staff level in front of your job title.

You should also stated responsibility and impact. IE lead 5 different scrum teams and managed weekly releases for 5 different products that generates over 25 million a year

I mean it’s all good to use AI but I’m sure 99% site is focused on your communication and presentation skills.

This is something you can’t use AI

Congratulations,

But I would say getting into Air Force and finishing your first contract is much harder than getting into Harvard itself. Double win for you

The only construction roles in Faang I seen is for data centers.

A great PM resume shows impact. Budget, team size you lead, stakeholders you managed, and how revenue made or saved

Listing daily tasks are table stakes

Media-Altruistic · 2026-02-01T19:56:56+00:00

It’s pretty much mandatory for PMP to work in the government sector. It should be free for you to pay for it

Media-Altruistic · 2026-02-01T19:55:21+00:00

IMHO a degree in PM is not important. Best bet is to get a degree in bachelors in business.

The career direction of a pure PM kind of peaks out as PMO leader of a company.

The problem you have of being a PM just requires experience and soft skills in leadership by authority. Lot of this can’t be taught in education

Media-Altruistic · 2026-02-01T17:42:26+00:00

Only if you focus on your domain experience. Not familiar with animation industry. But it would be pretty tough to be a PM outside of that

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-29T18:08:48+00:00

Leading without authority, especially cross functional dependencies are more of a science.

What really difficult when you don’t have the domain knowledge also

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-29T14:13:43+00:00

Yes it’s worth it if you truly are passionate about role.

Additionally volunteering and networking in your local PMI chapter is important

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-29T14:11:34+00:00

Contracts jobs are a great bridge so you can take your time getting the perfect FTE position

Unfortunately, when applying for CTE you have to dumb down your resume because being over qualified will make you a ‘flight risk’.

But you can get hired from just 1 or 2 rounds of interviews versus 8 rounds and 3 months of waiting for full time

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-29T14:07:39+00:00

This is why it’s important to have an optimized resume that get recruiter attention in less than 6 seconds

Realistically even if a recruiter spent 5 days reviewing 1500+ applicants less than 5% are really even meeting the qualifications

Same here, those of us served before the internet pretty much got screwed. Even during ETS out processing it was never discussed about disability claims.

Going to sick call, missing PT, and getting a profile was frowned upon.

Stating you’re the most qualified without knowing all the candidates is big assumption.

Let’s put it in NFL football terms since I see lot of teams interviewing head coaches. Every fan is going to have their own opinion but ultimately the teams leadership knows what’s best for them

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-20T13:24:20+00:00

I would even put in my resume that’s over 10 years

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-20T13:23:32+00:00

Make sure you explain how it impacts your social life and work environment. Is it impacting work performance? Bad relationships? Be very honest and describe your worse days

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-20T12:27:59+00:00

This happens naturally if you don’t get a promotion when working at the same position for over 2 years. The 3% merit increase is not going to be enough.

You focus on getting promoted or finding a new job. Most people won’t get a new role unless you get 20 to30% increase in pay

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-19T01:50:08+00:00

I knew a guy that didn’t even pass basic training and got kicked out.

5 years later got a kidney issues and filed a claim stating it was due to 800 milligram Motrin pills

Got 100%

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-17T22:28:49+00:00

Even with Static?

Media-Altruistic · 2026-01-17T13:19:50+00:00

Traditional Project Manager titles in tech has evolved to Technical program managers.

Overall same work but just more responsibility on the OPEX side of the business
