how the gently caress do you write a resume these days? like, what even do you put on it? I don't even know what people are looking for in the way of bonus experience etc I just read my manager's assessment of me ahead of my year end review and despite feeling real fuckin good about myself right up until 15 minutes ago I'm now thinking it's time to look elsewhere but I haven't put together a resume since college

so, almost a decade into my career I've realized something: I have no idea how to write a cover letter there's a couple positions I'm looking at applying for just to see what happens (they'd both be massive salary bumps, though one would involve moving to europe and doing esports backend poo poo) but they both want cover letters. I don't even know what you put on one, I've never needed to. wtf does a cover letter for a tech job (network engineering) even look like?

it sounds like enough money to spend a couple years there and then retire to the sticks and get someone to run fibre to your cabin, which if your primary concern is comfort for the next ten years or however long you believe humanity has left, should be enough for you

Not a Children posted:one page rule is less hard and fast now that most resumes are reviewed on the computer. definitely write your resume as if someone is only seeing the first page. I have mine set up that all my experience and certs are on page 1 and all the skills/education are page 2. works a charm. if I saw a 7 page resume my first thought would be that the person in question bounces between jobs every four to six months wtf

rotor posted:its been said many times, but it bears repeating: dont make your first interiew in years be for a job you really want. For your first interviews, you should be applying to jobs you have no intention of taking. Of course, this only works in a job-rich environment like the bayarrhea or east cost or seattle or whatever so if you're not there, idk, do your best idk that or have four leaf clovers coming out your rear end and get a job offer thirty minutes after the interview I think I burned one of my extra lives on that one

the actual interview I had for my new job was super relaxed, though I was stress-vomiting concerned at home beforehand. which is pretty silly in retrospect because I had barely gotten home and parked after the interview before the manager called me to offer me the job sometimes you just nail these things I guess

"we regret to inform you that the position you applied for has been closed due to unforeseen circumstances" was one of the ones I got when job hunting a couple months back that made me think, wow, gently caress you too. it's not like suddenly there was downsizing, because it was a drat municipal government job in an extremely fast growing city
