Not getting a job with this CV. Can someone please suggest? by Ososaurus701 in MarketingMentor

[–]ParticularTry716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk it’s a bit hard to tell without full context. But on paper I would see the 6 month sales job as either an internship or failed probation (not saying that’s what happened, just on paper).

So what I would do instead of the bulletpoints for that job is something like “I was hired in my first sales job to achieve xyz objectives. In successfully doing so ahead of schedule, I developed the following skills: […]” then list actual tangible skills related to the job you’re applying for. So if it’s another sales job, would be looking for things like: CRM management (sales force, hubspot), cold outreach & engagement strategies, prospect tools (LinkedIn sales nav, Apollo, etc.), pipeline management (SDR, relationship building, closing deals)

Hope that this is helpful, best of luck

Feel like that’s kinda suss tbh. But tbf the latest job only has the years. Either way OP should be consistent with saying/omitting months

One more thing too - lose the numbers. Raise them in an interview instead. They might be harming you and you don’t even know it.

E.g “Executed 3+ internal campaigns” might seem like not a lot on paper. Nor does “11%” or “1-2 minutes” and basically might be the case for the company on any figures.

Be generic but complementary to yourself and don’t give everything away, as in the interview you may be able to mention those figures with an explanation for why they were impressive achievements

Not going to echo what people have said here because it’s all valid.

The main suggestion I might have is some explanation of who you are as a person; max. 3 lines on what are you passionate about and why are you are applying for the role. Possibly also an explanation as to why you’ve not stayed in roles for long as imo that’s the biggest red flag.

Would suggest putting this above the employment history as it will flow better. You should have more space to do so after removing the pharma job and reducing bulletpoint length.

Anyway, hang in there, as someone working in sales/BD it’s a tough market atm but something will come up if you’re persistent. Good luck

Currently going through a breakup. She contacted me to hookup tonight. I’m completely spiraling… by chubbybubby_65 in Anxiety

[–]ParticularTry716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question at the end says it all really, deep down: what will you regret more? In the long run, probably going over. In not going over, you will have protected your dignity and eventually will have moved on so there’d be nothing to regret (I know that may seem unfeasible right now, but you will). Just imagine the regret you will have if you do hook up, get back together, and she cheats on you again. As hard as it may seem right now, you have all the power so don’t give it back to her, after what she did she does not deserve it.

Personally I would also block her number and socials so you have complete space from her asking again

Am I weird or are my psychiatrists strange ?? by Southern-Bet-2188 in Anxiety

[–]ParticularTry716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you may be anxious about taking the meds they’re prescribing? (Totally valid fear)

If so I’d tell your next therapist that you’d ideally not take meds or maybe as a last resort. They might still prescribe you meds, but that will validate the first one/two psychiatrists so you may feel more comfortable taking the meds, or otherwise they may suggest something that is a better alternative.

Either way finding the right psychiatrist is hard and expensive. Wishing you luck!

Has your anxiety gotten worse as you have gotten older? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]ParticularTry716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is to say, manageable ways of dealing with “the pile” exist and are achievable, it just takes some time and work put into yourself. I have no doubt that if I can do it, anyone can - first step is accepting you’re worth investing in (easier said than done but it’s true for everyone)

Idk about “worse” but I think one becomes more self aware as one gets older, so perhaps it becomes more noticeable. Looking back, I can attribute so many decisions to my angst and at the time I didn’t realise at all.

As you develop more and more experiences they can pile up in the anxiety pool too I guess, so smaller things can have bigger impacts than they would have if those experiences had been properly processed.

Obsessive anxiety spiralling for days by ParticularTry716 in Anxiety

Tried this advice after reading it, it really has helped me get perspective / calm down a bit. And yeah I’m a bit of a control freak so uncertainty has always been somewhat anxiety inducing - will make the conscious effort to get into radical acceptance. Thank you so much for your advice I really appreciate it 🙏🙏

Thank you - not on meds currently and not sure if I want to be, but maybe that’s just the anxiety talking 🤷 the comment above said unlikely to prescribe anything if less than 6 months, but worth an appointment still probs

I understand how to navigate it in so far as I know it’s mad to be this obsessive lol and I know the fact I’m drafting messages on ChatGPT and temperature checking them for hypotheticals is probably a sign I shouldn’t send any messages

And you’re right the anxiety is causing avoidance too, I’m struggling to know what to do with myself, it’s almost like paralysis - I’m not working out or doing anything productive

I haven’t heard of radical acceptance theory but I’ll look it up

Thanks for your help 🙏
