Senior managers & up, how long are your resumes? I’ve heard if you’ve been working 10+ years, you can make it 2 pages, but does anyone care about details of what you did out of undergrad?

I just reviewed 25 resumes today and invited 5 people to interviews. Trust me 1 page is plenty. In fact, I didn’t read all the details in the resumes. If you are clear and concise the reviewer will know if you are a good candidate

Opposite - more senior is less. One page maximum period. See marissa Meyer resume as an example - google it.

Anything more than one page indicates to me your resume is filled with fluff. Make your point & make it relevant - you can do that in 1 page.

smart

18 years out of undergrad. One page. I’ve gotten compliments for it being concise and effective.

Longer is not better in most cases, especially when a hiring manager has a big pile to sift through - which is something I also appreciate when I hire folks. I suppose if you had a lot of relevant published research or articles and public appearances you could list those on a second page as an appendix, but that won’t apply to most in consulting.

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch.

However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?

Helo everyone, I had an interview scheduled with Cognizant on last week of Jan 2022 but due to technical error in Verification code I couldn't join interview lobby. I reported the same to the HR and I was told the interview will be rescheduled. Now there's no update from the HR. Could you please guide me how can I proceed or any email address to which I can inform to take the rescheduling process further.

Thanks in advance

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Hey guys. I recently graduated with a bach in business, a graphic design bach, and an MBA this past May.

Should I take my MBA off my resume?? What am I missing??

Hi Fishes

I gave google silicon interview all 4 rounds 3+ months back, from then they are saying they want to hire me but headcount approval is not yet received.
Last week they said, lets go for one more round and finalize immediately. That interview also went very good.
Post that they didn't call back itself, they have stopped responding also.

Has anybody faced this issue? This I feel completely unprofessional and not really expected from Google.

Thanks
