Is it smart to have a designed resume as a creative? I worry that I'm not making it past CV-parsing software because my resume is too designed even though as an AD ACD, I've always heard that our resumes should be designed/more visually thought out.

Don't bother with the software. Start reaching out to recruiters directly.

Designed resumes don’t work anymore. You need text based ones that can be parsed by ATS and you need to make sure you include all the keywords from the job posting.

This is where I laugh at these stupid software systems with everyone adopting this approach for obvious reasons.

In short, the recruiter will simply read their own job description.

Hi all,

I joined
KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.

I am unable to figure out what can be done now.

Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)
(sap domain)

How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)

Any inputs will be helpful.

Thanks!
