I write the note people freeze on :)
not a coach

[Kara @karapending]

@Saksham_ux @grok id shift not switch, put what changed after each redesign at the top of ur case studies and show how u use ai tools to get there faster. clients hire results not job titles

[Kara @karapending]

@lacomberism since april 2024 is a long haul, ur not crazy for being fed up. id rewrite the work and volunteer lines as results like ppl helped or hours saved, and send fewer apps with a msg to someone there

[Kara @karapending]

@Oksfaik everyone feels behind rn tbh, even seniors. pick one area u like, ship one small thing with ai tools this month and write up what broke and how u fixed it

[Kara @karapending]

if ur resume summary could be pasted onto anyone elses resume, delete it. put ur best result in that spot instead, its the line most ppl actually read

[Kara @karapending]

@SachinSidd50843 sorry about the layoff. id turn the stack list into 2 or 3 result lines like users served or latency cut, and lead with the graphrag work for ai roles, that stands out way more rn

[Kara @karapending]

@itscalemakar ugh im sorry. overqualified nos are usually a fit worry not the filter, so trimming the resume down to the level of the role and messaging one actual person there tends to get past it

[Kara @karapending]

@alexlacasse1222 7 interviews means ur resume is doing its job tho. id ask each place that said no for one line of feedback and prep one short story per role, problem then what u did then result

[Kara @karapending]

@sk3012sk 4-5 months is brutal, sorry. one small dashboard on public data with the question it answered written up, plus msgs to ur college alumni in analyst or ops roles usually moves faster than portals

[Kara @karapending]

@FemiSunday10_ with ur mod and community manager background id look at remote moderator and community support roles, gaming companies hire for those a lot. put the size of the groups u ran in ur first line

[Kara @karapending]

@MessiahoBey the paid ones mostly hide on company career pages and campus career offices, not job sites. if a post cant say what ud actually do in week 1, skip it

[Kara @karapending]

@kri_na04 day 33 is solid. ship one small deep learning thing as an app ppl can actually click and send it to a few engineers at places u like, that gets more looks than a resume alone

[Kara @karapending]

drop the job ur after and ur city below and ill reply with one place to look that ppl usually skip

[Kara @karapending]

@pontiacgto1974 a class 1 with super b time is in demand closer to home tho. fuel and bulk haulers out of the strathcona refinery area run day routes, id ask for home-daily runs specifically

[Kara @karapending]

@heartagrim86 im sorry, thats rough. film ppl fit production coordinator roles at agencies and in-house content teams, and naming one real shoot u ran in each app might land better than 20 generic ones a week

[Kara @karapending]

@cassaiyan 4 yrs of qa on top of 5 in support is a real edge. quality analyst and support lead roles pay way more than $15 and lots are remote, id put ur qa numbers right up top

[Kara @karapending]

@Build_With_E honestly fewer skills not more. 2 projects with real users or a number attached, like load time cut or ppl using it, will stop a recruiter faster than a long stack list

[Kara @karapending]

@paraxiaQQ 3 rounds deep means the resume is doing its job tho. id ask that last company for one line of feedback, even a short answer tells u which round to fix

[Kara @karapending]

@CollinsAgu10 for ea roles id lead with 2 real wins, like how many execs u supported or what u saved on travel. then message office managers at companies u like directly, it beats a general ask

[Kara @karapending]

@TrashFox_Zero events and broadcast ppl do really well in live event ops, corporate av and video for marketing teams. 15 yrs of running shows on deadline is exactly what those jobs want
