Is there anyone in here who would be willing to review my resume and provide feedback? I hear from external recruiters that it's great, but I've applied to hundreds of roles in the past two months and can't even get screening calls. If you would, please DM me. I'm desperate at this point as I'm about to lose my house (yes, I've applied to lots of things just to get by and still, nothing).

Did you send the same resume to all the roles?
If so, that’s likely the problem. You’re not making it past the bots.

You should have a “master” resume template that you customize for each application. It’ll functionally be the same to any human reading it, but you’ll make a few changes to EXACTLY MATCH THE KEYWORDS in the posting. It’s silly, but you gotta do what you gotta do

If you can, play around with all of them. GPT, Claude, Gemini, Clawdbot. The past year the private sector has been pushing heavily on how to use “magic AI tools” to do more with less, and it’s starting to make its way to firms.

Seems every board and ownership group are all doing the same thing.

I have a partner that calls me multiple times a day to talk about updates on our cases. Sometimes just to ask “anything to update me on?” He’s known across all of the associates for doing this.

Any advice?

I am lead counsel on a case - we’re suing 3 businesses and my supervisor is a named incorporator of one of the businesses although he is not an officer. He is asking me to bring the file and meet with him about the progress of the case. I reminded him of the conflict and he stated that the conflict was resolved because he also has a claim against 1 of the companies that he recently filed separately. I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?
