Is there such a thing a putting too many keywords in your resume? I know everyone says to pull keywords out of a job posting and put them in your resume, but how can you tell if you're overdoing it?

When it starts sounding like a robot wrote it, you've probably got too many. There's nothing wrong with putting keywords in, but be careful it still reads like a human wrote it.

The purpose of keywords is so that you are digitally searchable by recruiters. This is most important on LinkedIn. Your résumé should be download it to her LinkedIn, so that you can be found. General rule of thumb, 40 keywords.

Hey there! First post here 😊

I've done a lot of self-work this year re: where I've been most successful and fulfilled over my last ten years.. I'm 32 and have been in sales, sales leadership, and business leadership (I've been a ceo and am currently head of sales at a start up).

All that said, I'm looking for some words of wisdom on how to pivot to sales ops, Rev ops, or GTM strategy. The latter probably being my preference.

References, wisdom, and general advice appreciated!!

In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos. I’d like to finally form a bridge between lawyer disciple and lawyer wellness and focus on prevention. When we think of lawyer discipline, we automatically think of outrageous behavior like stealing money. Those are extreme. The common cases are too stressed out and forgetting deadlines or death of a loved one and not having time to call clients back. Cont’d

How do you get leverage as an internal transfer? A buddy of mine with similar experience and location received an external offer for nearly $100k TC more than my internal offer for the same role.

Leaving would hurt both my previous org and new org.
