How many skills do you list on your resume? Trying to cut the 20+ ones I have now down to 3, but not sure if this is enough.

Personally I think having an entire section of your resume dedicated to skills is a little superfluous. Your skills should be evident based on the roles you’ve had and the way you’ve described those roles.

I have 9 listed, but I find myself agreeing with VP 1. My only issue is I don’t know what to replace that section with.

I do try and include small skills I’ve learned on jobs that I don’t use every day such as blog writing, apparel design, and illustration.

Just don’t bore the reader with the obvious. I think your hiring manager has worked with enough project managers to know your skills may include strategic planning, problem solving, and customer service. With your title and experience, it should be a given.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him.

I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
