NO ! Companies will low ball you . If they ask during the interview then yes but other than that do your best to avoid putting it on there

I have filled out hundreds of job applications on glass door and never got a call. Any advice?

I’ve had better luck finding listings on Glassdoor and then going to the company site to apply, rather than directly on Glassdoor. I think taking the few extra clicks shows you’re more serious and they are more likely to get in touch

Nope.

I sure don’t put a date

Nope I’ve known people who successfully landed well paying jobs with just some college experience listed with no degree

I used to, but after a while, it isn't necessary anymore.

Does it really matter? If you're putting years next to your work experience, then the year of college graduation isn't necessary and can be guessed anyway.

Nope - it’ll create unwanted bias.

Resume is one thing, but how do you get around it when you apply online and dates are required?

So I have a felony. I interviewed with a recruiter today who was super cheerful and nice. Once I disclosed my felony, which she already knew about since a friend referred me to her, she immediately stopped the interview and said she couldn’t in good faith move forward on my application given the nature of my offense. I explained that I had done my time, paid my fines and restitution and had the experience to become a great asset to the organization. -she suggested I look into bartending.

P&T is ‘central to our FY23 strategy’ and yet we had to beg and plead to even get a handful of P&T Directors to represent at the Director CLeX happening this week in San Diego.

Not feeling the ‘one firm’ narrative we push - completely tone deaf and sends a horrible message for P&T Directors.

Major missed opportunity to start bridging the divide - particularly at a level where the real work gets done.
