Hi everyone, how can I frame the reason for leaving my current employer in interviews, considering I was advised to resign due to a PIP?

They don’t need to know about the pip. You’re leaving because you want to.

Don't ever tell them you are on a PIP. I'm in a similar position and one of the interviewers asked if I was being forced to leave my current employer because they used to work there and know first hand how toxic that place is. I was like nope, not badmouthing anyone

Most companies won't give your reason for leaving. Just say you were laid off. Once you say you were on a pip you are no longer in consideration. You are not the first person to be in this situation and you won't be the last. You got this!

Agreed. Say you left to pursue a better/different opportunity.

If you get them to lay you off, will there be severance pay for you? If so try to get that if you are almost out the door anyway.

when they put you on PIP , its a sign of 4 stage cancer which non treatable , i would say just spend time as much as you can and start finding another opportunity , and there is no need to mention anything on the CV, if interviewer ask you can tell them it was a project based job.

Interviewed for a sr. PM last Thursday. Was scheduled for 30min but we went to an hour and had a really good conversation. The questions I got asked I was told the answers were perfect by the hiring manager. I felt really good coming out of it but then followed up with an email thanking them for the time the next day and I never received a response or next steps. Am I thinking too much into it or is it not a good sign?

Has anyone here use a resume writer before to help them rewrite their resume? I feel like trying to write about myself and be objective isn't the easiest thing.

If so, anyone you would recommend? Anything to look out for or suggest?
