Hello all, I’m wondering if anyone has tips on creating a resume for director level positions. I have a few questions that I would really appreciate some advice on. 1) How far back should I take my professional experience? Right to the beginning, about 5 - 6 jobs in 20 years, or just some recent ones? 2) Does it help to add skills in there too? 3) Should I mentions any awards I received that are actually from a different industry than what I’m applying to? Thank you in advance.

Hey, I had a job interview yesterday where they asked my salary expectations. I answered, then they said “the position pays X and this is on the higher side”. It was about 7K less than what I wanted. But it sounded like they were very firm with what they offered. I can’t tell if they meant it when they said “this is already on the higher side”. Also, I’m losing my bonus so I asked if they give sign on bonuses. They only give to execs apparently. How do I rebuttal without losing the opportunity?
