Seriously?!?! What are hiring managers looking for? Someone with zero experience? I am now at the mercy of anyone willing to take a chance on someone who has 28 years of work experience from Customer Service all the way to Project Management. From Local to Global. From no name to fortune 100 companies.

I have been unemployed for 18 months now. I have submitted over 3000 resumes. I have submitted to every single positional possible from under qualified, to qualified to over qualified.

Gonna say what we’re all thinking - ageism. Take the years of experience off the resume and any identifying age related info (ie, college graduation date or birthday) and see what happens.

NO recruiters... I need a direct manager who is hiring and in need of someone competent and willing to work.

If you’re in the NYC, Chicago, or LA areas, in the US, go to LI and look up Omnicom companies. TBWA, BBDO, DAS, OMG, OPMG, OP. Most are in a hiring freeze atm but will begin hiring soon, for Q1 ‘25. Hang in there!

It is indeed brutal out there

As a hiring manager for a large firm (15-20,000 people) I’m looking for very focused experience, because my span of control is narrow. Smaller firms will generally need people with broader experience. I want people who show they take initiative, can do the job I need filled without a lot of training, are flexible in when and how they work, and will fit with the team. And if you have 3 or more errors in your resume and cover letter I’m not interviewing you, because providing final written deliverables that meet exacting compliance requirements is a key part of my teams job.

That is refreshing! I cannot even read the news these days considering most titles have errors in them! It drives me crazy. With the technology we have these days, people feel they have no reason to edit content. It is one of my most frustrating pet peeves.

How much are you asking for? Is it possible that you are outside their pay range. I understand everybody needs to make more money because everything’s more expensive but understand this is true for businesses as well. Our cost of goods have gone up about 40%. It’s hard to stay afloat with those kind of changes.

I don’t ask for more than their “starting” rate

He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?

Hi! I’ve been in the ESG space for nearly 7 years and submitted an app for an ESG Consulting role at PwC. My app was unfortunately rejected. Now, my app is ‘under review’ in the system. Between the time of the rejection and reversal, I’ve made connections with people in the department and the role has been reopened/reposted. Should I reapply using a referral and revamped resume or just try my luck with the application that’s now ‘under review?’ I want to be sure my chances are better this time.
