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

I presume you’re applying for the same, or at least similar, types of roles. You should craft your resume so that your experience supports your target role. No need for a tailored resume for every job post. That’s what bootleg “career coaches” tell everyone to do. But you should adjust your cover letter for each job post if only to change the employer’s name and address and the job title and job req ID. The main content should largely go unchanged. You do keep an electronic file of every resume and cover letter you send, right? LastName.Resume.Date.Employer.doc

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Looking for guidance. I’ve been in people manager roles (in director/senior leader capacity) for the last 5 years now, and prior to that I was a “rockstar” Project Manager. I’ve worked really hard to get to the position I’m in today, but I’ve been recently asked to move from my current role to a senior IC role to take on a highly visible Program for the company, with some very senior stakeholders. I feel conflicted as it does feel like I would be backtracking in many ways. Thoughts?
