Have any of you ever taken 'professional' help for resume building? I know there is ton of free content. Was wondering if these paid services were any good.

I am trying to move out of EY.

Haven't yet reached out to my network. Want to try something on own and see how I stack up. I could easily switch through my network, but just wanna give a shot

It's amazing how tough it is to just get a call. Was wondering if my resume is culprit.

My intention is not to waste anybody's time. I just want to give the good old job hunting a shot. I want to go someplace new where I know nobody. Just for the heck of it.

I plan to leverage both EY’s “Career Center” (alumni placements) and the external service they provide for my non-voluntary transition. I’ll let you know how it goes...

I think if ur just starting out it might be worth it. But after a few years under ur belt, not so much

Find a friend who works in HR who looks at resumes all the time. I do HR M&A and help my friends after they’ve paid a ton of $$$ to people to “re-do” their resumes. Not worth it generally for an external. Just buy your friend a drink.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

Maybe just cover one and they can do the other if they want? Don’t want to be rude if it’s expected but also don’t want to blow our budget… any perspective on the “norm” appreciated!
