If sales job, focus on revenue generated
If tech job, focus on technologies used and what you achieved with them
If anything else, focus on the measurable value you brought to the team/project/firm/client

Emphasis on measurable

For example, as consultants we do A LOT given the number of clients and projects we work with/on. Is best practice to put-
“Help clients with X Y Z” or “Helped a manufacturing client with the development of XYZ”?

Should I start hiding my graduation year on my resume?

I saw advice that having my grad year may be working against my favor due to perceived lack of experience. I am 6years post undergrad and have jumped jobs after each year. With each jump, I always immediately move into a higher position so much that I’m always significantly younger than the next person in the same role on my team.

I’m interviewing again for fun and the vague feedback I get is “lack of experience /deep expertise”.

Hey guys I got an interview call for salesforce developer at pwc. How’s pwc for Salesforce @ / ncino also how much can I expect for a 2.5 years of experience currently at 9.4 ctc.

In need of urgent help: I submitted my background check a month ago and it’s still processing. I realized, however, that I did NOT put my short stint internship and most recent job. My recent job is on my application profile though. It’s a short stint and I was so focused on all the other work experience. What should I do? Should I call and tell HR? Tell the background check people? Is this grounds for revoking an offer. If asked, I can provide all info. I left on good terms. McKinsey & Company
