1) find job description that looks like something you want to do and a good fit for you

2) tailor you’re resume to include key words and language of job description (don’t lie about your experience just update language)

3a) run resume with description through an ATS service like JobScan to compare fit

3b) throw out BS terms that the ATS is incorrectly picking up that aren’t related to the job

3c) continue to tweak until 65+% match

4) apply to job

It’s a lot of work but the resume tailoring increases your chance of getting an interview dramatically if you aren’t working with a recruiter. ATS really serve as a pre screening to ween out resumes that don’t fit and they aren’t perfect. This process moves you through the ATS with ease and into a persons hand.

3d) leverage your network (or ask kind folks on here) to chat about you and their backgrounds, and possibly refer :)

We have had a lot of PwC consultants switch and start working at Fannie Mae. PM if you see something you like. I made the switch from Deloitte and have really liked it

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

As an operations manager I manage budgets/billing process for a portfolio of clients within my agency.

I’m trying to quantify/apply value to the work I do in plain dollars and cents.

I had my second technical interview two weeks ago and I had emailed the recruiter to check for any progress on my application. I just received an email saying they want to talk to me over call.

Is this positive or negative ?
