I’m updating my resume & struggling to find accomplishments for my current job. I feel like all I do is put out fires & react to client “emergencies.” How do I make that sound like an accomplishment?

Same - from another agency before current job! I looked up people in the same position as me on LinkedIn who were doing well and based my resume off of what they put on their LinkedIn

So sorry to hear this... it sounds like you were busy reacting. Now you know, what is your gameplan?

One thing you could say is: you are the one they call when things get rough, at the 11th hour - and you perform your magic.

But careful... if this is your speciality, you could end up being in such positions moving forward.

There are plenty of such apps. Monday, airtable, and Hive.

But app is just an app without enforcement and a framework.

My framework is Kanban. Japanese just in time.

You could go for scrum too. Depends on your preference.

Some companies take the easy way out and hire a project manager. But that project manager will not be set up for success if they are an external hire. Dictating timelines needs creditability. It is a very political position... so why not do it together? Train people to be fking adults.

I have video links to tutorials to show you what this means... drop me a message, I'll connect with you on linked in and send you Lynda courses on this.

It is the thinking that has to be enforced team-wide. A framework that forces work to be systematic. Without compliance, it is just another fancy looking app.

Realizing why agencies are still struggling to find enough Business Affairs employees. And know several people who this has happened to. One is pay. Salaries have been going up the last year or two.

So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …
