I’m working on a government project. Can I name the org. on my resume?

I would caution against it. Just be general. All of my work is confidential so I just describe the company.

I think even for non-confidential clients you can't disclose certain items. Just so you don't have to remember what you can and can't disclose just don't name the client which gives you a lot more wiggle room.

Think about the overarching skill / project you want to highlight for a bullet and lead with that as the summary, then explain. Ex:
- Growth Strategy: identified and recommended growth opportunities for leading technology company in 43 countries.

A few others to get you going could be: project management, program management, process improvement, process/ gap analysis, data and visualization, innovation, strategic planning, business strategy, analytics and assessment, operating model design, cost reduction, etc. framing from this perspective helped me better communicate why I was adding the line item and also helped me see my skills more holistically rather than just summaries of my projects.

This could help to a certain degree with the different roles on projects. If you were promoted you’ve usually been working in the role to some degree so just add the exp where you feel you’ve performed at a higher level to the promoted role and the exp on par with expectations to the original role. No one will press to hard into specific dates

Been wondering this too. It’s a bit difficult because I have my Senior Consultant title, then specific roles on various projects I’ve worked on. Oh and a promotion in the midst of that.

like

Company A
Project X
- bullet points
Project Y
- bullet points
Company B...

You get the gist

Second this.

In drafting the bullet points, focus on your accomplishments - not just your responsibilities.

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

Hey there Fishbowl community,

I’m planning on moving to Canada, Any advice anyone can offer? Also any suggestions on Job hunt? Can I find jobs out of Canada or I have to be in the country for better chances ??

Got the invite for final rounds for SFA. Please help!

1) How do I ACE this? Rinse and repeat on PS1/PS2 prep or do more?
2) What can I expect - It’s on Chime and not in person.
3) They’re asking for salary expectations & I found out via research that the recruiter quoted median TC but I’d like top TC (200). Do I need to explain why my expectations changed?
4) Is there value in attending the Pre Recruiter Call/ Candid Calls?
5) How do they expect ppl to take a full day off for “maybe”?

TIA!

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
