What role did you apply for?

We really look for people that have led the project hands on. Think lead biz consultant vs project mgr.

My guess is that your resume was heavy on theory and numerical results but light on the details that show that you actually did the work and know how to apply the concepts.

Just my two cents...hard to speculate without more details.

Also....could just be bad luck.

How can we give advice on improving your resume without seeing your resume? I guess general principles apply - show your impact, don’t have it read like a job description. Show numbers, no typos… improved X by Y% by Z, etc etc

Hi all! I’m in the search of a remote HRBP role, looking for a company that is willing to pick me up as a new HRBP. I’ve been in the role 4 months, but this company is a disaster. The culture is so bad, I had an employee say they can’t even go to the bathroom without permission. I’m really not wanting to go back to a generalist role. Prior to this job, I had another offer of HRBP but I didn’t like the interview. Been in the field 6+ years. Let me know if anyone has anything!
