Shout-out to Katie for her enlightening presentation at the University at Buffalo! It's fascinating to see strong opinions among UB students regarding one-page versus two-page resumes, especially about work experience. Given this trend, I've decided to bring this discussion to my audience as well. Many in my circle may be grappling with the same question, so let’s explore it together! My Perspective: Hiring teams are incredibly overwhelmed, especially in this tough market, often reviewing each resume for just about 10 seconds or less due to the sheer volume of applications. This reality makes me favor one-page resumes. They're not just a convenience; they may also perform better with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), which are crucial in our initial screening processes. Question for My Network: As HR professionals, hiring managers, or students, do you find that a one-page resume aligns with your expectations? Considering the efficiency of ATS, is a one-page resume generally sufficient, or is there still a place for a detailed two-page resume? I’m eager to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic! #HRManagement #ApplicantTrackingSystem #ResumeTips #CareerAdvice #HiringTrends #JobSearchTips #LinkedInNetwork

Leaving the Police: Walk the Walk It's Week 3 of the current Mightify Career Change cohort, with our group of highly skilled police officers well into the process and making more connections and finding new opportunities every day. This week the focus moves onto the more technical and tangible aspects - interpreting job adverts, tailoring effective responses to them, honing CVs and applications and proactively translating skills and experience. Not to mention the continued motivation and peer support the group are giving each other daily, which helps accelerate and smooth out a transition that can be an emotional rollercoaster. Want to find a more structured and supported approach to leaving? We're still taking early expressions of interest for a Spring cohort - drop me a message or email if you're interested! #leavingthepolice #careerchange #peersupport

If you receive a faculty job offer from a community college, there's an important caveat you should be aware of: it's typically a take-it-or-leave-it proposition. But, there is a glimmer of hope.

Here are two fair options for interviewer. LMK which options sounds good to you. 1. Fire every existing team member who doesn’t know the answer to the question that you’re going to ask to the candidate. Pata chala the one who is doing the best work doesn’t even know the time complexity of traversing a tree. So first fire them first. Or 2. Make sure you ask questions which are relevant to the work the candidate is been hired for. And the existing team members for the same profile should be able to solve it without preparing. It’s simple yaar: Ask them to write code, debug code, ignore syntax and other things that you usually yourself google about.
