So I’m a top performer as program manager in Deloitte and I can’t even get an interview in many of the positions I submitted. Is there something wrong with my resume?

Like picking up some more technical skills? I feel like even tho my resume is an exact match to the job description, I still cannot get an interview. My SM told me that maybe it’s because we are junior? Because with 20 + YOE, he gets interviews everyday he can get a job in a week

like

You’ll need to provide additional detail. What are the roles you’re applying to? Are you tailoring the resume to the job description and using some of their same language?

How many YOE? Are you getting phone screens? Have you been referred? If you’re not getting a phone screen and you haven’t been referred then it probably is your resume since the first step is vetting via Workday or a Taleo-like software.

Hard to tell without looking at your resume no?

Also this time is tough. Maybe they slowed hiring

In the email response, they said they are still hiring tho

Did you network with any of the companies?

I have the same problem :( in most cases I feel like I’m a 100% match for the role.. might be because I’m too junior? Idk

OP, I'm a Manager out of EY's PM practice and have been receiving PgM interviews. I'm happy to help over DM or resume review.

No interviews. I’m gonna go with yes, there is something wrong.

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues. However, I'm really interested in technical program management or project management and I'm looking for any advice on how to get there bc I've been applying, but can't even seem to get a call back.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
