Restart my IT career

Business Associate

Hi Grapeviners, I have ten years of work ex in performance marketing and CRM. I started job search actively from Feb 15 this year and landed first interview today. 

How bad is the market out there. I usually get hired with in 30 job applications, also I apply to the role only if 70% and above role match with my previous experience also use referrals when available.

Also please roast my resume https://stonedmind.tiiny.site/ have redacted wherever necessary to stay anonymous as possible. For the first time in my career I have a doubt that my resume might not be upto the mark

Please let me know your views in the comments. Any help is appreciated.

To land 1 interview it took 60 job applications

Being a tier 3 college grad, It took me 700 applications to get 25 shortlists, and only 7 interview calls. Converted all of them. 
  
 Sometimes you’re just not allowed to participate in the race 🙂

I have been aggressively applying for jobs in the last 2 months however I have not even received 1 interview call. I have spoken to others and they have told me that it should be my resume. 

I am bad at writing or self promotion which is essential in making first impression. After not getting any calls I am comprehending wether to get resume writes in LinkedIn to help me, I feel job hunting should be a complete self job rather than outsourcing part of it, maybe I am out of touch as my last job hunt happened 6 years ago.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Not able to get interview call for 8+

Hi guys, can anyone please roast my resume in a positive way, so that I can improve it further. Thanks in advance.

Roast my resume

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

My resume isn't exactly the most honest document out there - I'd say about 60-70% of it is made up of lies or exaggerations. I added a couple of years of experience to get a better salary when I started out, and it worked! Now I'm getting paid like I've got 4.5 years of experience when I'm actually only a 2-year.

I'm doing fine in my current job and my skills are up to par, but I can't help but wonder if I'm setting myself up for trouble down the line. I'm thinking about looking for a job in Europe or the US eventually. I doubt they'll do a background check since I'm from a certain country, but I'm still concerned.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I have submitted a resume of previous employment after completing my education till now ( total of 6 years, In these for the first 3 years I don't have documents) which I have worked for HR before taking a technical interview and client round interview. 
I got selected for that role. But HR is asking now to submit the documents including the updated resume. 
So, while submitting with an updated resume to HR can I remove the first 3 years which I don't have documents from the resume now.
And provide only the remaining documents to them.
Can someone please suggest to me this how to proceed. Thanks!

Hey folks. I was unemployed from Jan 2020 till Apr 2021 when my MBA began.

Got laid off from IT co in Jan as most all our clients were abroad where pandemic had started and their businesses were totally stopped. 

Prepared for CAT (98 percentile) meanwhile along with some online courses and basic social work. 

Should I mention the gap year in my resume or skip it completely? 

Before the gap I had around 18 months of workex

Gap in resume

Hi, I’ve been in sales for last 5+ yrs working across top companies in media, SaaS, and now recently MarTech. I’ve mostly dealt with new age companies as my clientele which is good because I don’t want to deal with tough personas or rather too traditional ones. 

Tbh the last 5 yrs have just passed by where I didn’t take a moment to reflect what my actual skill set is and spent most of my career trying to fake it till I make it. I cannot go on like this forever and I think I should switch to another role before its too late. 

People who have switched from sales to another role, I would love to hear your journey, what steps you took, how did you identify your next switch, how do you feel about your decision now?

Hey Folks I got recently impacted by layoff.I have experience in Analytics in ML. Need some guidance on how to leverage online platform more effectively for job search. My current actions are follows:-
1. Naukri : Should I kept it as service notice period or shall I put that I am current available to join in 15 days?
2. Linkedin : I am reaching out to post openings less than 24 hours using hashtags like #openings #analytics #immediate joiners 
My Profile : 8 YOE( relevant to ML 5 YOE)
Will appreciate all your valuable suggestions/feedback/alternate strategy/hacks to overcome this phase of my life.

Analyst

Applying SDE role lots of time but get rejected even I have skills to work.. because of this I am getting doubts on my ability.. Now all time I think I am useless

I'm new to the job market so I wanted to understand how frequently should I switch companies when I get a better offer.

I've heard that sometimes your employer themselves will match a competing offer.

But how frequently should I do this? Every 2 years? 3?

Doing this too frequently can make me an objectively worse candidate so if anyone can tell me what's the ideal duration, that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey folks,

Having 3.3 YOE. In one of my past stints I left a company in 2 months due to toxic work culture and joined a better company. 

I am a junior product manager. Will this short stint create problems for further opportunities?

Need suggestions.

Is my career ruined? 😰

Looking for genuine and non diplomatic answers since it will be anonymous. It is upto you to reveal the name of the company you resigned from.

Lets discuss!!! I will go first -

I quit my last organisation (a famous UPI company) in 2020 because, they still are in old technology. No cloud computing, no kubernates, no terraform. Their entire baremetal infra are in 2 DCs (Mumbai and Bangalore). Leadership ideas are outdated. I was very much bored and looking for a change.

Why did you resign?

Amount of effort i put and the salary i got was not proportional. 14 hrs to get 30k salary as a fresher. I had understood that I deserve better - thus i moved to get better pay and better wlb (which I got in swiggy)

I will be graduating in a month, I don't have a job as of now, I am scared of the resume gap, should I be that much scared as a fresher, please tell me from your experience guys. I know that it's a red flag of you have gap in your resume, but does that matter? Or should I not worry and keep upskilling my skills.

Scared of Resume Gap

So, I'm a contact employee working in Amazon and back in December or so, our higher, Higher Manager assured us that our team's contract would extend for another year. 

Now our contract will be ending by March and there has been no news regarding any extension mails or so. I'm scared. A year just flew by like a blink of an eye consumed in work. 

I was hoping that I could work for another year and then maybe join into an MBA, but things hit the fan. I really don't know what to do. Currently am just updating my CV and speed running through LinkedIn. It's just exhausting. 

Idk what to do.

What to do? I'm very, very lost
