I’ve worked for the same agency for a little over 15 years and I have no idea where to start with my resume. Any tips for writing a resume for someone who has been at the same company a longer than normal amount of time?

List out your titles by year and the clients, roles and accomplishments you did for each title. I assume you went from mid level to CD there. Sometimes it’s refreshing to see internal promotions than someone who jumps ever 6 months.

Not a creative but also worked for a long time at one agency before moving on. I didn’t break out my titles by year, I just kind of summarized (role name —> next role —> next role) and focused on my achievements in the final years instead of giving real estate on the page to things I did a decade ago.

Anyone here who knows or went through the Veterans CDP, when did you receive your official start date in writing or get contacted by HR? I got a verbal starting date from my recruiter, but it's not on my contract so I'm wondering if this could get pushed back. Not something I'd like to have when planning to relocate across the country.

Thanks in advance!

Perspective requested.
10 mths ago i was talking to an acquaintance (lives in IN, same age late 20s) and they were having a baby. I expressed my congratulations and during the convo said something like, ‘…here i can’t bring myself to adopt a pup and you’re prepared for such a big responsibility’. Everything’s cool.
Present: (randomly) they remind me of this and say they understood my intent but want to teach me that I was culturally inappropriate.
Thoughts?

General question about LinkedIn, but I figured recruiters may have a better perspective.

For example, I went outside of our account for a stretch role and had walked through the logic of that decision (the role is on a high visibility project that could lead to more work, it’s a role meant for someone two career levels above mine
