Hi I’ve been out of undergrad 3 years, working in corporate for 2.5 years. Currently revamping my resume. Should I take all relevant projects and work from college off my resume? I’ve only been at one company since graduation. My resume isn’t super descriptive without it.

Remove it, and try to see how you can separate different tasks you’ve done for your current job into different bullet points or sections to “fill up the space”. Even if you just say you shadowed different projects, joined employee groups or networked internally with other consultants, those can be counted since different skillsets are involved in those.

Hello! I’d say if your resume needs revamping invest in a career coach to review your resume because it all depends on the position you’re applying for. Your resume is not a “one and done”. It should always be updated, changed and formatted to include, skills, certificates, volunteer work that is related to the position you are wanting to interview for. Don’t be discouraged if there isn’t much just put your best skills forward.

Not necessarily. Shorten the college project list and bullet point the ones you keep with a one sentence summary.

I generally would. Keeping it could signify limited responsibilities at your corporate job, especially after 2.5 years.

Unless it was a significant project like a thesis or something, I would leave it off at this point

How long should you go with keeping it on the resume? I am 5 months out and have been working but like the space filler for the time being until I find more.

I’ve been applying for jobs and internships in my field (looking for jobs in media production, social media, music, entertainment) for months with no luck. They say it’s about connections, but my connections are limited especially in these fields. I am constantly ghosted by recruiters and managers on LinkedIn. I have film PA experience, but other than that my background is in retail. Any advice going forward?

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.
