Can someone review my resume and see what I'm doing wrong? I'm getting so many rejections, it's humorous at this point.

I'm shifting my career from a scientific role to a Sales one.

Scientific resumes typically push more than one page, so, make sure it's one page.
I also recommend reaching out to your university career services, Stanford is one of the world's greatest institutions, I'm sure they'll be able to hook it up

On June 21, I had an interview with two managers to become an HR Coordinator. Everything went smoothly, and I got good feedback, so I moved on to the management round of interviews. The recruiter initially stated that I would go through two rounds; however, between June 22-June 23, there were really five rounds, and I am still awaiting the scheduling of one more interview, even though it is now July. I'm becoming frustrated at this point. I’m still actively interviewing with other companies.

Hi recruiters! I am hoping a few people can share the salary range you’re seeing for a Director of Product Training position in a large software company.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

When interviewing - is there a way to respectfully decline a take home case study that doesn't automatically result in disqualification from the candidate pool?

Hi fishes,

Just need your idea/experience (if any) on the following query:
I already have an offer with CTS.
I am also getting offers from other MNCs, but for other locations.
If I wish to join CTS only, but want to negotiate with them, on the latest offer I have with an expectation that they atleast match the same amount (if not offering me more).
So just wanted to know, whether at all they would provide me a revised offer or would they be strict enough to let me go & not negotiating at all?
