One of the biggest resume mistakes I see is focusing solely on job duties. Yes, you should include relevant responsibilities, but you should frame them in a way that highlights your skills. And include achievements wherever possible. Quantify them if you can. A good way to frame them is "Achieved X by doing Y."

What according to your experience during interviews has been one thing that you said or did made you get the job over 1000s of other applicants for a job, according to you? What is that one thing that made a difference and set you apart?

How many times has an interviewer no-showed and the recruiter profusely apologizing on their behalf?
Happened to me with Mindtree recruiter, for an IoT leadership position where the interviewing VP chose to no show twice… after which I thanked the recruiter that I was impressed by their book of busi-ness and that it was intimidating to be thinking about the prospect of working for Mindtree… as I’m too incapable for those performance standards… 😂😂

What would be a competitive earning for a Director of Sales at a SaaS company in Israel?

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks

So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

What is best way to find upcoming/ongoing nft projects and what to check to find their future value? Any tips?

Today's tip: Your resume (and cover letter) should target the specific position. The easiest way to do this is to edit your professional summary and key skills sections (which should comprise the top third of your resume) to reflect the qualifications required or desired in the job posting. Be honest – only reference those skills you have!

Resume length: one page or two?

It depends! If you're a recent grad or junior in your career, stick to one. Once you're a few years or jobs out, 1.5-2 pages is fine. Even if you're very senior, try to stick to two. Many hiring managers will not read beyond that, and your resume should be a highlight reel anyway. Note: these general rules apply to US-based professional positions. Other countries and industries (like acadamia) may follow different norms.

My husband is a Pre-Sales System engineer. He is looking for help rewriting his resume so he can leave his current company. Anyone have any recommendations for a resume writer specializing in IT engineering?

Let's talk about keywords. Virtually all big companies use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to manage their job search process. Systems vary but many use keyword scanning to identify the most relevant resumes submitted based on the extent to which they reference keywords from the job posting. This means you should consider targeting your resume to each posting and definitely do so for top choice jobs. Keywords will tend to be hard skills found in the qualifications sections.

Welcome to the bowl! I created it to ask for and share resume tips. I'm a certified professional resume writer, and I specialize in writing resumes and cover letters for US-based professionals. Feel free to DM me about my services or ask a question in the bowl for my quick tips and thoughts on your current resume.

Starting us off with an important tip: Your resume is a marketing document, not an autobiography. It should include relevant jobs, responsibilities, and perhaps most importantly, achievements. Where you can quantify an accomplishment or just talk up a major project you led at work or in an internship, do so. The point is to make the hiring manager think, “Wow, I need to talk to this person! They seem like a good fit!”
