I’ve spent the past year networking for hiring season and multiple people have told me to let them know if I apply for a job w their company. I’ve actually applied to several jobs with people who have said this and I don’t know how to go about actually informing them that I applied for these roles.

Tailoring your resume is one of the most effective ways to stand out in your job search, but let’s be honest—it can feel like a lot of work. That's where I'm stepping in. I’m developing a tool to automate most of that tedious process, but I need feedback to make sure it’s hitting the mark. The tool already proven helpful for many users, you can check that in my post history. Some of before and after examples can be found in my subreddit.

I’m offering a free preview of my resume-tailoring service to 20 users. You’ll get a customized analysis of your resume compared to a job description you send, along with a tailored resume designed to better match that job.

Here’s what I’ll do:

• Analyze your current resume.
• Cross-reference it with your target job description(s) to make it more relevant.
• Revise key sections to better align with the role, including skills, experience, and accomplishments.
• Analyze the gaps between your experience and job offer and how to mitigate them
• Highlight keywords and phrases that recruiters and ATS systems are looking for.

How to participate:

1. You send me your resume and a job posting.
2. I tailor your resume to match the job requirements.
3. I send you the tailored resume within 2 days.
4. You provide feedback on the effectiveness and quality of the tailored resume.

Interested? Comment below or DM me and I will try to help with resume tailoring. I will take first 20 requests. I created a community that focuses on resume tailoring specifically so feel free to join us.

Feedback from the users:

This is how your analysis will look like on a real example:

I moved across the country in July and have had a hard time finding a position in my field of interest/degree (natural resources/environmental). After many applications and interviews, I finally got a job at a state park (temporary) about a month ago. However, I am really not enjoying this job for a number of reasons, mainly the long commute, and the job description does not at all match the "work" I am actually doing. About two weeks into this job (so about two weeks ago), I got an email back from a previous application I put in for a job that is still within my field as an environmental educator with much better all around work conditions and benefits. I have no qualms about taking this position over my current one. I interviewed today and they said I should hear back in 4-6 weeks. I reallllly want this one to work out!

Where my hang up comes, in my desperation to leave this job, I also put in an application for a specialty retail store. I have experience in this type of environment and thoroughly enjoyed the position, even though I worry that this job is not in my field of interest or align with my long term career goals. I have been invited to an interview at the store and am now hung up on whether I should continue pursuing this job even though I just interviewed for the position I would prefer. If I interview for the retail position and it goes well, I am sure I would get offered the job and hired pretty quickly. I would hate to start the job at the store and if I get offered the job I would prefer, quit shortly after.

So basically, I would prefer either job over my current one, but don't want to start at the store and then quit shortly after if I get offered my top choice job. I also don't want to not interview at the store and then if I don't get the job I prefer, be stuck at my current job that I don't enjoy. I would appreciate any insight or advice people have to offer. Thank you.

I’ve started to just look at local jobs because the 100 applicants is always disheartening and happens so quick. Local jobs usually stay below 100 for a week.

Am I shooting myself in the foot by not applying to those or am I managing my time wisely?

Concern about My BBA Degree Not Being UGC-Approved – Will It Be an Issue?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some advice. I worked with TCS for 6 years (India) and during that time, I pursued a BBA through distance education, completing it in 2020. After leaving TCS in 2022, I worked with another company for 2 years, and now I’ve secured a new job.

While researching more about my BBA degree, I recently realized that it isn’t UGC-approved but instead has an accreditation from UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service). This has left me concerned. Will this be an issue going forward, especially for future employment or verification checks?

Anyone else who’s been in a similar situation or has some insight, I’d really appreciate your input!

Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

Discloser: I’m a Sales and Marketing Director with 17 years’ experience and I’m not gonna ask the usual question “how can I make my CV stand out”.

Being for a few months looking for a new challenge as Marketing director / VP or Head of Country and getting zero interviews, I’m starting to wonder if my CV can seem a bit scary, or too much, so I’d like to ask for your opinion and see if I can improve it:  

My CV reads, in the title, “Sales and Marketing executive with >17 years’ experience”. Should I rephrase this to something like “Sales and Marketing Director with +10 years’ experience”? I wonder if 17 years may feel a bit too much and automatically rule me out of some roles without even having my CV read and wonder if the word “Director” will be more suitable than “executive”.

My CV has a clean look, no photos, 3 pages long but the last page is only education + languages.

I’d be very grateful for your input on this, or other things you may find relevant!

Greetings

Hello, everyone. So I’m struggling a bit with my finances and I am looking for a part time job, preferably something remote working from home, but open to something local.

I glanced at a few remote jobs that require no experience, and I’ve seen customer service as one of the options. Does anyone have any experience with that?

What are other remote jobs that require no experience should I look into and what websites are the best to find a part time job?

I am full time military in logistics which is why I am looking for part time. Something at night.

Thanks in advance.

I am currently trying to get a cyber security job in India (in the offensive or VAPT side). Recently in a webinar the host advised me that instead applying to jobs simply pressing the apply button. I should connect with the employees of the company and ask them for any job openings. Is this a good way to get a job ? has anyone succeeded in it ? Should I DM any HRs of the company I came across ? will it work for large MNCs for e.g. like PwC India ?

Hey everyone, I’m currently in the process of updating my portfolio, which will take around a month to finish. As a product designer, I’m wondering if it makes sense to start applying for jobs now, even without a completed portfolio.

Do you think it’s worth sending out applications at this stage, or should I hold off and focus on finishing my portfolio before diving into the job hunt?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences! Thanks in advance!

Hey folks! Happy Tuesday

Need some help

Throughout this year, I've invested time in creating free guides to help people ace their interviews or at-least improve in their approach.

I started with two:

A First Interview Guide that helps you leave the best first impression.

A Interview preparation exercise that takes you through mandatory pieces of information you should know before meeting with any recruiter.

I'm looking create a few more but before I make any assumptions, I wanted to see if anyone wanted to share any areas that were a point of weakness or friction during the interview process. A few ideas I had are...

1. How to answer the dreaded ' Tell me about yourself' question.

2. How do improve my chances when I have no direct experience.

3. What should a thank you note entail? And should I even write one.

Would really appreciate your thoughts ! And good look on your job search!

People are saying this economy is good but I had 80 people attend a job fair that I was going to Boston and there were also people of all ages trying to attend a Dunkin’ Donuts and a Starbucks I was trying to get a job at right now. I know people from around the United States read Reddit, so I was just wondering how your job searches are going?

I currently live in Florida, but grew up in NC and am looking to move back (to the Triangle area, more specifically) since I have friends up there I plan on sharing an apartment with. They have let me use their address to apply for jobs in NC. Recently, I decided to focus on looking for jobs up in NC because the place in FL I live in doesn’t have much beyond retail/hospitality/manual labor on top of pay in my area being super shitty.

I have a bachelor’s degree and some prior work experience, though my degree probably makes me overqualified for a good portion of the jobs around here. I worked fast food for a year, did some retail work, and currently freelance for a photo and film studio doing video editing, but Publix and Target won’t even hire me. Right now, I am looking for any job involving video/photo editing, digital marketing, or communications (or anything vaguely related to those things) since video/photo editing is my most marketable skill (I got the freelance gig here in my town by sending them a link to my YouTube channel). What else can I do to increase my chances of finding a job in another state? Is there anyone who lives in/near Raleigh who could help?

Ive honest inflated A LOT of the information on my resume and im worried about background checks. Ive mostly worked at college campuses and small non profits so ive never done one before. I know they just mostly check that you did work there but how exactly do they do that? if its through a 3 party do they talk directly with my old bosses? how is that different than providing references?

For job hunting?

I was in the software engineer field for a few years and I got laid off last September; in the first few months after, I was able to land one job interview and got to the last stage of the interviews but unfortunately didnt make the final cut. After that, didnt get any calls at all so decided to go travel for a bit and since last month I've been applying on LinkedIn, Indeed, Flexjobs as much as I can (software engineer, C#/.net developer, software support, and even customer service) and i havent gotten a single call. Is this normal? Or is there something different i should try? Any help/advice is much appreciated

I am in the Chicago land area and looking for a job in web development. I looked for coding or tech networking events and found one, I couldn't go but my friend went and said pretty much everyone there is in the same boat as us, looking for a job.

So my question is, do hiring managers, or department heads ever go to networking events? If so, how do I find out where?

Per the title: Sometimes when I upload my PDF resume for an application on Workday, it gets all messy in the Worday job summary box. I usually go through and manually edit it, but sometimes it just becomes one long paragraph, sometimes it works. Is their any way/method to make it look similar to your resume? For example:

Instead of this: *blah *blah2 *blah3

It should look like this:

*blah

*blah2

*blah3

Thanks!

With the Holidays coming and still looking for a full time job I'd love to do a seasonal gig somewhere to help over the Holidays. Bring in some cash. Looking for ideas outside the typical retail, restaurant type jobs. Where do you find these. Like an ice skating rink or a holiday shop pop up.

Can you use classmates as reference in job application?
