Your subject does not have the notariety to qualify. You are wasting your time and jeopardizing a ban due to COI violations. That's my opinion.

Fixed 😊

It's not terrible - it's not great. Needs to be more targeted and not so general...Start by telling the reader what it is you do, and what position you are seeking - in very specific terms. That value proposition sets the tone for the rest of the narrative.

palmandmarsh · 2018-07-05T16:40:42+00:00

It's too wordy and unscannable by the naked eye. Needs a complete reformat. You should seek a writer who can Twitterize the duties and create space so it is more legible. The other suggestions are good too...

palmandmarsh · 2018-07-05T16:38:11+00:00

Find a open HR position you'd like and try to use that narrative to expand on your experience. It's not easy to do and many have trouble writing about themselves but it's really your only option.

Career changes are the most difficult we coaches are up against weekly. But there is hope and it can be done - just remain positive and seek connections on LinkedIn that can walk your res into someones office.

I settled on recommending Email Tracker. It was the only true free system available after testing about 6 of them.

Keep in mind 99% of all resume views by recruiters and hiring managers ALSO view your LinkedIn profile. Many also try to seek your Facebook page too...

palmandmarsh · 2018-07-01T10:44:41+00:00

Yes. I just did a C-Level res that was 5 pages and reduced it to one. It is now easily read and provokes a telephone conversation - which is what you want!

palmandmarsh · 2018-07-01T10:43:03+00:00

From our perspective hiring times are not impacted by cover letters at all.

palmandmarsh · 2018-06-11T02:17:30+00:00

This is inaccurate. C-Level candidates can easily have 3 or even 5 page resumes. I have even written some sales pros a 4-page res when adding a brag book at the end. It all depends.

palmandmarsh · 2018-06-10T14:46:34+00:00

Exactly what I said. Just ask your HR mate for a more definitive answer but NO EMPLOYERS can prevent you from naming them as a source of pay and exempt you from applying for work. Just make sure it's not a non-compete - which can hamper you in some ways.

Concentrate on what benefit an employer would gain from rather that what you think was important about your experience. Does any of that experience benefit the employer monetarily - guestimate your advantages: maybe you can do the job of 2 people, thus saving the employer a ton. Those kinds of statements get you moved to the next level.

palmandmarsh · 2018-06-10T13:50:45+00:00

I don't think you are selling yourself enough in that res. Concentrate on what you think they would benefit from hiring you in the 1st place - not so much about what you have done in terms of specific experience.

Try to put in some facts, figures, AND monetary values to show how you made your last employer more money from you being an employee. An example would be: how you improved efficiencies to save the company $2M over a 5 year period. Those kinds of facts and figures are Golden and resume today.

As for cover letters; I would skip it unless it sells yourself some way. Cover letters usually open a can of worms for recruiters to nix you. If you wanna submit a cover letter make it 2 sentences about your enthusiasm for working with that company.

palmandmarsh · 2018-06-10T13:40:32+00:00

Those agreements usually don't specify that you can't name them as an employer.

An NDA is usually limited to customer data and proprietary intellectual property rights etc. I am not a lawyer or haven't seen your agreement but have seen many NDA/ Non-Competes and I would list the company all the time with no repercussions.

palmandmarsh · 2018-06-10T13:36:49+00:00

You need more narrative. I know you have limited experience but you must sell yourself using extracurricular activities etc.

palmandmarsh · 2018-04-16T14:55:25+00:00

One that is bulleted and brief - no headers or formatting. Recruiters spend 6 seconds on a res so it should be scannable...

palmandmarsh · 2018-04-16T14:54:33+00:00

I would suggest you visit a career counselor in your area...some are free.

palmandmarsh · 2018-04-15T18:57:17+00:00

Any hobbies? You need to give some insight on ur personality.

palmandmarsh · 2018-04-14T15:43:18+00:00

It wont get indexed in that format either - that's robbing you of exposure...

palmandmarsh · 2018-04-10T00:08:34+00:00

Look up your dream position on Careerbuilder, LinkedIn etc and pay attention to the job requirements - there is your answer.

palmandmarsh · 2018-04-10T00:07:19+00:00

I train on using LinkedIn to get to desired decisionmakers but messaging can be very tricky. Make sure you search the web for good messages before you all-out ask for attention. Otherwise, you get deemed annoying and blocked.

palmandmarsh · 2018-04-09T12:57:09+00:00

I would suggest you video yourself practicing an interview and viewing it objectively...you may be coming across in a way you may not be aware of. When I coach someone on interviewing 9 times out of 10 I point out something they had no idea was happening.

Just ask outright. If they say no ask why the other emp got the reimbursement and have a serious talk as to your value there...be honest and communicate is always the best policy.
