Any advice on resumes when applying for a bunch of jobs? I know it’s best to tailor your resume for the specific role, but that doesn’t seem realistic when you are mass-applying for different roles

Just make sure that in your cover letter or email you get a bit more specific. Hiring managers can tell when it’s spray and pray.

Always

At least have versions for the broad categories of jobs you are going for.

I’d save any customization for the cover letter field. Most resumes go through a parser these days anyway so it’s more important to have the right keywords in your resume than a customized one. This is why my most recruiters ask you to send a copy of your resume (again) it was uploaded into a database to be parsed and they can’t retrieve it.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
