I was promoted a few months ago but anticipate getting laid off soon. How do I represent my short tenure in this new role on LinkedIn/resume? Combine roles into one line item, or separate the two?

I’m sorry OP. Leave the 2 separate - it’s good for people to see your progression and everyone in this industry understands layoffs. Good luck!

From my understanding layoffs are a LOT easier to explain then getting fired. Definitely two lines! But I’ve also seen resumes that show promotion kinda like this:

Junior Strategist - Assistant Strategist - Digital
Strategist

Kind of laddering the promotions which is pretty effective also. Best of luck on your search! And make sure to start adding local recruiters to your linked in! They all know when a layoff’s coming and then start scouting right away! You’ll find something!

If you do ladder them like pm1 said, definitely do it the other way around (most junior position should never be first).

But I recommend separating them anyway.

Oh good correction!! Thank you for that!

Keep to separate, and explain leaving as a financial thing for them or a growth thing for you. Unless you’re fired for gross incompetence the truth prob won’t hold you back.

As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.

Hi Fishes

I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

How long do y’all like resume bullets to be? I know to keep them to 1-2 lines and to keep the resume to 1 page but I’m conflicted about how to balance details vs white space.

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense?

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?
