it's the 12th of the month, and you are on your 16th job...??
that's more than one job a day...
might i inquire, what is the nature of your 'job' ?

**bmacavanza** · March 12th, 2022 05:53 PM

put only the jobs for the last 10 years
max 4 bullet points per job
only put the keywords, what is written is the advertise role
put a linkedin link to your resume
max two pages
remove photo
remove school names etc
create a career summary
btw, are you after a CV or resume?

i knew there was a logical explanation!
heh heh.

but might i pry,
isn't 16 jobs in one career, "a bit too many" ?

whoa that's a lot, so you never stayed more than 3 yrs in one job? I don't want to create a linkedin account because I will be googleable. I hope I don't reach that point where I have to

max 4 bullet points per job -If it's my job for the last 10 years, that's just one company

only put the keywords, what is written is the advertise role - yes I tailored my CV

put a linkedin link to your resume I really don't want to create a linked in but I just made a monster account. It's less invasive than linkedin

max two pages - I couldn't compress to 2, I was able to reduce from 6 to 3 pages.

remove photo - no photo on my CV

remove school names etc -I don't think I can remove the school names. I assume you work abroad? Here kasi when you apply directly at the company page, the school is asked (there is even a dropdown to choose)

create a career summary - yes I have

btw, are you after a CV or resume - CV

Bakit puro BPO na lang ang employers ngayon? Maybe 70%? Deal breaker na kasi sakin yung PEZA (they are requiring RTO when there is still a pandemic!) Nothing against BPOs, I know they pay well and have good opportunities but I prefer a company with regular working hours, retirement plan, benefits and low turnover rate where staff usually stay until retirement. The previous companies I worked for have BPOs (call center and service center) and the benefits are different.

Anyway, I uploaded my CV to monster 3 days ago and I was contacted by a company yesterday kaya lang when I checked the website it's a BPO so that means need to work sa office. I am thinking of responding, practice sa interview?

I'd still try. Some aren't as strict with the RTO rules and it will allow you to set a salary benchmark

Private firms actually prefer wfh
