Anyone can review my resume? (1 Viewer)

[greenchip]

I am looking to find a better paying sales job in South OC, so I am looking for someone who can look at my resume at small cost.

Please let me know by PM if anyone is able to help me. I appreciate feedback about my resume.

With my current level of pay, I have to live with someone who I do not like. I cannot afford $5k rent for a small room.

Ask ChatGPT for what to put on your resume based on the current job you have, tailored for the job you want, it has a lot of goos ideas. You can then personalize it with your specific metrics/achievements.

@greenchip I am head of HR for a mid sized professional services company. Have hired for sales roles in my history. Happy to take a look.

I’m the North American training manager for a massive company. I interview dozens of candidates every year. I never actually read a resume…until after the interview.

Sales takes personality, charisma, and the ability to communicate effectively…with all types of personas.

You must also be able to handle adversity and
rejection.

You can do all the creative writing on a resume that you want, but they all end up looking the same to me…

One-liners and zingers…that’s what I’m looking for in a sales professional.

Once you've reached the interview stage, it's mostly (or entirely) about fit and personality as you note. But you have to clear the application/resume hurdle before the interview can happen. Generally speaking, candidates are judged on the quality of their resume and you'd be shocked how bad some resumes can be, even for high-level professional individuals and positions. Putting in the effort, while often times consuming and perhaps sometimes unnecessary, puts your best foot forward and does make you more attractive as a candidate to get to the next stage in the process (e.g., screening call, virtual interview, in-person interview, etc.).

Also, with it being so easy to apply broadly online, it's a lot harder to stand out, especially given the sheer number of applications the HR team is wading through. Not to mention an organization might (foolishly, in my opinion) use keywords in its application tracking software to reject/screen candidates before the resume ever has a chance to be seen by a human. Putting in the work can help you stand out and avoid the auto-rejection.

Yah…I’m basically the last line of defense.

“Which one do you like?”…thats what I do.

What surprises me is after 120 people get whittled down to 2-3…the resumes still suck.

The amount of useless words is amazing…same goes for PCF, I guess.
