Looking into making a switch from sales to marketing. My resume is currently very sales focused. Are there any tweaks I should make to the wording on my resume to be more marketing focused? Or are my sales skills transferable enough that it doesn’t matter too much?

Yes, tweak. My suggestion is to tailor your resume to the specific job opening specifications (which can help you frame sales v marketing question).

One way to do this tweaking is to the compare job description to your resume line by line.

I suggest my clients to create an xls and make two columns to compare the description with your cv.

In one column you put all of the job requirements and in a second column you place your existing resume items that match. Then you can start seeing the holes in your cv and where you need to tailor the language (based on your experience of course).

Hi Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
