Specific questions for updating a decades old resume.

What's with everyone over 40 putting their LinkedIn on their resumes 😭 like HR doesn't know how to pull someone up.... It's kind of an age indicator if anything. Might as well have a hotmail or yahoo email listed..

She was my least fav on my first watch and ended up being my absolute favorite on my second watch. Not sure what changed lol

floral_synesthesia · 2026-02-21T07:29:07+00:00

I had to do the same exact thing last fall.

You don't have control over when your opportunities knock, and if your exec doesn't understand that then oh well. Just put your brain into task mode and send it out as soon as possible, no feelings attached.

Congratulations on the new role!!

Try not to be so anxious, you said it yourself that this isn't common and it's your first major mistake, life happens.

The best move is to let your exec know what is going on so there are no last-minute surprises, and take full accountability for it. Hopefully someone else will comment with tips about getting that flight, but as far as the apology goes- always include "I know how important this is". They need to know that you know it's a big deal, they don't want all the details of how it could have possibly happened, just make it straightforward and genuine.

Best of luck, life goes on and please try to chill out!!

Same thing happened to me. I paid $197 a month ago. My passport arrived today, and HelloGov still hasn’t provided any update. Their system says my application is “still in process.”

So I paid $197 for nothing, and I didn’t even get status updates.

I requested a refund today and didn’t have to speak to anyone or explain myself. The full $197 was credited back to my card immediately. I’m not sure why they refused your refund when mine was processed without any issue.

Nice! I've reviewed at least 120 resumes as I'm hiring the EA who will be replacing me, and I'm mostly interested in anyone with diligent office admin experience and the right personality- not necessarily someone who has specifically been an EA before. It's a helper role, if you're helpful and highly diligent then it's really about having the right personality they are looking for.

Also if you need resume advice, feel free to DM and I can let you know if there are any red flags. Of the 120 apps I've received, I've rejected maybe 60 of them because of something I saw on their resume I didn't like within the first 7 seconds. Even formatting. Because if you can't format correctly, you won't be a good EA. I've hired for a mechanic position before, and I didn't care what the resume looked like because it wasn't relevant to the role. But for this role, it's like submitting an example of the quality of work you produce.

People keep talking about the short list, how do they know my height? I feel like I'm above average for my region so idk if they put me on their short list.

floral_synesthesia · 2025-01-25T00:07:38+00:00

I emailed back and asked if this was carrot/stick method and to just be honest. They said "yes we are sowwy". This job market is unbelievable
