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.
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 🙂
Tier doesn't matter ,skill does
Definitely, but in job. In Resume shortlisting, its far more easier for tier 1 college grads, specially in non-tech domain.
Hey what app are you using for those kanban boards?
Novoresume.com
I use this as my resume repository for past 8 years. Job tracker as kanban board is a recent feature.
Okay thanks! Not a pro at resume. Would just ask to cut down some points and focus on important one's
Check if this is ATS friendly if you are applying for positions that will be screened by AI
Is it premium version?
I am using premium version (takes subscription of 3-6 months every time I hunt for a job)
So is premium helpful?
I don't think it's a reflection of the market. I think we're just coming back from a crazy employee-favoured market.
We're living in times of fake job reqs during hiring freezes, companies claiming that they "never fire" while putting 10-15% of their workforce on PIP and layoffs in highly profitable companies.
We're in the age of the great big VC fuck up.
The problem is that hiring is being linked with public perception, and as a result there is a lot of secrecy around things that were very transparent.
It's very likely that 20-30% of your job reqs are just out there to show the market that this company "can" hire in these times.
@Battlestar Makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
