Wording is really important as well. How you market yourself is going to determine the type of positions you can go for. Right now, at best I could get a senior developer job. I want to be more management and strategic initiatives.

Yeah for my market im reaching the salary ceiling so anything asking for less than 10 yrs experience for me would be a lateral move or pay cut

Yes, I recommend it actually. I do believe it played a huge factor as to why I got the job I was just offered.

How much was the consultation fee? I may actually think about doing this to be honest.....:jbhmm:

How much work experience do you have? I just clocked 2 years of working so I'm not sure it'd be of that much value to me

Hmmmm...interesting. I may look into it, however, like @Obreh Winfrey mentioned, if you sit down for a few hours I guess you could hash things out. I used to review resumes as a college job for 3 years. I might still need to look into this though.


That person is most likely a copywriter. Unless you work in direct response environments then you won't simply hash it over a few hours
because you won't have the swipe files, research and experience to craft a tried-and-tested resume that converts.

I get that. But with my resumes I send them over to hiring managers within the fields I'm interested in and the responses have been all good. Might still look into it.

Ive been employed since I was about 16. So about 20 years :skip:
Ive been in pharmacy for 16 of those years.
No consultation fee. I chose someone on fiverr.com

Where did you find the person

I chose someone on fiverr.com after looking at a few. Each have different offers, skills, areas of expertise. I just chose one that seemed to closely fit my needs and what I was trying to accomplish as a Healthcare professional.

Looking back at my expenses for April:francis:. Those HHs and nights out in the city were a little out of control


I should have gone harder in the winter with stacking. Summer only means more HHs and more social events, meaning more spending :francis:

Might have to go light on Summer 2019

Something just ain't clicking right now with these my job apps. Might need to up my skills at the moment.

Granted, I have been very picky about where I want to go to. I need a place with a strong name for exit opportunities. Also, a company with operations in Nigeria or the West African region is a plus as as well. I'm looking to make that pivot in 18-24 months so I don't want to hop just for the sake of hopping.
