Hi there, I am looking out for a change after spending 15 years at the current company. It is like a new kid around the block. I got my resume worked out with a professional. How do I approach for jobs? I am looking for Director, VP roles in the customer success and services, Product management, Partner Delivery and enablement roles. 99% times my resume won’t be picked up for an initial discussion though I match most of the skills called out in the JD. Any suggestions?

For senior roles like that I would imagine networking is really your best bet. You should be reaching out to professionals in the areas you’re interested in and making connections. Maybe if you stayed in touch with former coworkers who already moved on you should reconnect with them and see how their new companies are. It’s important to have a strong resume but at that level of seniority connections are important too

When I left a job after 15 years I had a hard time getting interviews. I switched to a Project oriented resume where I listed everything I'd worked on first and it seemed help.

However, since you are looking at such a senior leadership roll, I would think your best course of action is to mine your contacts. If you know other senior people at other companies they can bypass the usual HR screening.

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
