Congrats OP. How long was your timeline from resume to first screen or interview ?

Congrats! I also failed during college but want to try again as an experienced hire. How much effort was split between networking to get an interview vs practicing casing? Heard its super hard to get an interview once you miss the on campus recruitment. Do you have any advice to networking?

Hi! My husband had a pituitary tumor apoplexy less than a year ago that took 90% of his sight rendering him unable to work. I am looking for a flexible data entry job that I could do “on the side” to help ends meet. I have been in Product Management for over 20 years and am very good with data and details. My life revolves around computers! Any suggestions would be appreciated! (Bonus points to anyone that also knows of a job a mostly blind person could do from home!!!)

Have any of you felt your careers aren’t progressing as fast as your yt contemporaries? I just went down a LinkedIn rabbit hole looking through the profiles of some women (non-black) who I worked alongside 12-15 years ago at internships and entry level roles. Almost all of them are director level. I’m still struggling to get to manager level. All of us started in media roles then transitioned to tech in the last 5 years or so. Has anyone else noticed this?

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
