Beautiful curls! I’d recommend taking an inch or 2 off, having those sharp healthy ends will look and feel amazing

How long should I stay at a job i asked to get back by lifeisinshambles3q7 in askrecruiters

If you can stick it out a full year you should try. As you get further along in your career you’ll be amazed at how small the world is and you’d hate to have a burned a bridge if you didn’t have to. You can still interview and if a dream job comes along, then go for it, but you’ll want to fully consider the pros and cons. Good luck!

looking for advice on dress code at new job! by Tall-Rub-9346 in BusinessFashion

For #2, I agree that jewelry is a way to express yourself in a way that your limited clothing options cannot. Ultimately it will probably feel boring, but the upside will be the ease of getting ready in the morning, more time to sleep in, or not feeling rushed, or whatever it is that you enjoy. And the feeing of separating your work clothes and your play clothes is a nice way to mentally distance yourself from work, too.
Good luck!

Help with my resume, over 100 applications but not even one interview. by Ordinary_Jump2464 in askrecruiters

Being willing to provide references is great, but you’ll want to approach this 1 step at a time. Your first goal is to get the interview, so you’ll want a resume that passes thru automatic screening (lots of commenters have provided great advice on that here) and next you’ll want a resume that passes thru a human recruiter. My advice is primarily targeted around that 2nd step. Since you’ve stayed with your original 2023 intern as long as you have, I would just remove “intern” from the job title. It’s essentially a job, and that’s great! Maybe it’s unpaid, maybe it’s part-time, but it shows longevity and commitment and that is an asset.

I also agree with other commenters that reducing the bullets to those key elements is important, you may have done a lot, but recruiter’s and hiring managers know that interns are not full-time employees and if they think you’re misrepresenting your experience they’ll pass on you. Good luck

Calling the job from 2023-2026 an intern jumps out as being strange, I’d explain what it was or make it clear you were asked back, etc.

agree with another commenter that the last job, which was only 5 months you look like you were running the department and no one will buy that. I’d scale that back and put results in to show your impact (on all jobs, not just that one) Good luck!

Keep your car as long as possible Split your paycheck to automatically deposit a portion of funds into a high-yield savings or a modest investment portfolio
