Consulting friend: I travel for work so much that I have points to take care my holidays to Europe. Iove my job for that
UA friend: I love my job too. I don't have to travel to earn for one vacation's tickets. All my vacations are free. I work at United Airlines.

Awkward silence 😅

Would have been more awkward if your consulting friend said his father got beat up and dragged off a plane, so now he can fly anywhere for free

Any resume writer referrals? I’m trying to make the jump into project management. I have 13YOE managing cross-departmental projects and people, and I’d like to shed the general EA work of calendars/travel/expenses. But recruiters just see my most recent role is EA and that’s all they want to talk to me about. I’m hoping a better written resume will help target algorithms to get my resume viewed for other roles.
