Last week, I didn’t make it past the phone screens for Chartis and ECG despite feeling like they both went really well. Did I mess up by not going through my resume from top to bottom and only speaking to my last year of experience??

Thanks! Going to keep at it.

It’s difficult to say without seeing your resume. But you have the right background for a position there. I think it’s largely how you present your elevator pitch up front. Honestly, being an early careerist means the differentiators between you and other candidates is going to be pretty minimal.

Very true. A Forbes article puts it well, “Match first, stand out later.” I think I was trying too hard to stand out when I should have painted a clearer picture about how the experience I have aligns with the job description. Would you be willing to share any feedback if I sent you my resume? TIA!

Honestly the recruiters for ECG aren’t the best IMO. ECG is also super biased towards UNC grads.

Yeah my recruiter didn’t seem too organized/professional 😂 but just wondering if the phone screen could’ve gone better or if it was my CV.

Absolutely! More than happy to connect!
