Bullet points on resumes, keep them to one line? Or is it okay for them to be longer like on LinkedIn?

With certain projects it's hard to describe specific responsibility and impact in one line.

I think two is okay so long as they take the whole line.

Feel like you kill a lot of space but sometimes to have a solid bullet is better. Really think it’s more about if you feel like you are getting the best point across

Definitely ok for them to be longer. I've never heard the 1-line rule. Is that a thing?!

The career people at my school did, but I also went to a liberal arts school with high unemployment

I have a resume question!

I have 10 plus years of sales experience and 7 in an AE senior AE role however, when applying to positions that I know I am more than qualified for my resume is getting bot rejected before it even gets viewed. I am not sure why other than I do not have my b.a as I decided to pursue sales full time while in college and did not finish. This has not stopped me from getting interviews before , any ideas on how to get around the bots?

Hello, I’m a UX/UI designer with 6 years of experience based in Italy and willing to move to London. I’ve been sending CV on LinkedIn for months but clearly I’m doing something wrong. I’ve been doing interviews with big companies around Europe but never from UK, don’t know if it’s because of the Visa or something else. I’m attending a UX course in a London-based school to have a more valuable certification for the UK market. Anyone in the field that could share any tips? Thank you very much

Hey Fishies, I'm wondering if anyone could make a recommendation- I'm looking for software that does the following:

I can pre-set a list of x5 questions into this software
I can send recipient a link to the software
Recipient is recorded answering each question in succession (with the option to re-record)
I can access the recordings as a single file to post (with permission of course)

It's similar to video interview software but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to land my first product design role and I can’t seem to get my foot in the door.

Any advice?
