I interviewed at Micron Technology and HR said they were willing to go ahead with the job offer but the position is on hold. She said she will inform me in 2-3 weeks if it opens this year or next and then they would proceed directly with the offer and the on boarding process. I am applying at other companies too but haven't been in luck. Would it be wise to hope that this offer will eventually come through?
So worth it. My resume, cover letter and Linked-In profile were good to start, but the outside help saved me a lot of time and gave my documents more of a marketing feel. Best $500 investment I ever made. Turn around and got a $40K salary increase with the job offer.
I used TopResume. My initial reaction to the service was a little shocking. The first draft had typos and wasn’t entirely the direction I wanted it to go, but then I realized the service was an expediter not completely hands off. After speaking to a coworker who did the same thing with a different service, I believed they must all require a little guidance. I ultimately ended up using the final version as inspiration and a template for modifying to different postings.
I personally don’t believe in outsourcing this part of the job search process.
I wrote my own and got great feedback from multiple HC interviewers. I visited their career sites on resume writing tips and created mine. No more than 1 page for every 10 years experience. Use STAR statements for accomplishments. The process helped me create a work portfolio that ultimately prepared me for the interviews.
Has been an amazing investment for me. There's a lot of trickery to optimize for the ATS bots that scan your resume which a pro resume writer understands.
While I can sell the hell out of someone else or their product, selling myself ties me in knots. Having someone construct the narrative and format from a lengthy intake form was still hard, but much less frustrating than doing it myself.
