I apologize if I did post this before in this bowl:

Hey so quick question. 👋🏻

I'm feeling like I'm aiming high for positions like manager when I don't even have one job in retail unless we count my own business Pisces Artists.

Is that the case? Should I switch to cashier and see if I get better resultss in job interviews because of this? What do you guys think? 🤔

What story are you trying to tell? Is it compelling? Does it speak to the manager role? Your experience is as good as you sell it.

But first, are there manager jobs in your area? If so, are you getting interviews now? If there are jobs and you aren’t getting interviews,your resume is the problem. If you are getting interviews and not getting the job, you likely aren’t promoting yourself enough. If the jobs aren’t there, that’s a whole different issue.

You're right. I should fix my resume. I did put self employed but I know a big rule of thumb is to not have restrictions for your job - just do what you can to get the job (i.e. I put down that I cannot clean due to my disability but I can certainly take stuff like that out.)

So I do have jobs in the area. I just have to like you said: promote myself.

And I can definitely fix my resume that's for sure.

To me you need to break your business down into tasks that are relatable and fit into the manager profile. Does that make sense😬?

When I think of my husbands business, which is his …I can think of things that would fit into mgr profile like… managing a team; organization; interfacing with public and clients; etc etc.

Maybe start write it all down and go from there. Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but…

Good luck!

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.
