I’m updating my resume/CV and it’s about two pages long, Should I cut the experience I have to make everything fits on one page, does it really matter?

It's always best to keep it to one page. It's easier to read, easier for people to scan, and more likely to actually be read in its entirety. However, if you have really relevant experience that you can't fit on your resume unless you make it two pages, I think it's fine.

Probably. I've seen some pretty senior resumes cut down to just a page, so yours could look like too much to scan compared to those. Also the second page pretty much doesn't get looked at unless the first page lands you in the consideration pile, so keep that in mind if anything attention-worthy is on the second page.

Bain & Company Bain & Company Do you have any insights into what they are expecting in the second (last) round? I saw that there are two cases and a presentation.

Many thanks in advance

Hi fishes!

My interview is done at @Mercedes Benz RDI. Total they took 5 rounds of interviews including HR. Even my previous employment documents were also requested. But it has been 14 days since then. Still they have not released offer letter. What should I do? Is it worth the wait?

Is anyone else having the worst time switching jobs? I’ve been applying for a year and haven’t gotten any job offers even though I get interviews. If anyone knows of a headhunter I could reach out to though I’d be so appreciative! I’m so frustrated….

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾
