Trying to pivot from retail management to product. I went through a boot camp last year for product management . I've interviewed for program manager, product manager, analyst, and project manager roles at AWS, Farmer's Fridge, United Airlines, Virgin Voyages, and Starbucks. I think my Resume is making some traction but not enough since I have been on this hunt for a year now. Any chance

Skills to the top, take out year you graduated. List courses under one section instead of listing course, course, course. Also, list what is relevant to the position you're applying to. If some of these experiences, courses aren't relevant to the position, industry take them out. Change your first bullet point under the wag and other one. The first bullet point needs to be strong. And surveying people isn't as strong to me, it might be important but you have other bullets points that are stronger. Think of what will make you standout. Recruiters skim at a resume for 6 seconds; make their job easier by grabbing their attention right away.

Great feedback here

like

can you give “store manager” a different name so it seems more relevant to the position? Otherwise, i might consider taking it out or at least putting more product manager related things at top. For instance, if you can leave your resume as is but add an additional “Product Manager Experience Highlights” section to showcase your most impressive Product Manager accomplishments

Hi Fishes,

I recently got an offer for Cyber security advisory at

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
