What's wrong with my profile?

Hi Marco,

Sorry to hear about the rejections. In terms of your question:

Q: Could you please help me understand what's wrong with my profile/resume and how to fix it (if it is possible)?

Many coaches offer a CV review as part of their coaching. You can check if there is an option for that on their profiles here. 

Alternatively, you can post an anonymized version in the Q&A for feedback.

The process I personally recommend during sessions is the following:

1. You send your CV before the class
2. We review it together during the class. I recommend the changes to do step by step
3. You work on the recommended improvements after the class and adapt the document accordingly
4. You send back the CV. I review it and provide suggestions on anything that needs improvements (no additional bookings needed)
5. You review and make changes accordingly
6. If needed, you can send it back as many times as needed (no follow-up limits)

All the steps are included in the initial booking, including the unlimited follow-ups.

Marco, 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your background. You have experience in consulting, a track record around management and business and overall great credentials. 

However, the way your CV is written and presented at the moment is a solid 7. And in a competitive market, 7 is not great at all. 

I'd suggest you get a professional review from an expert on it, and if that's not an option for you, then try to get feedback from friends in consulting (though aim to get the feedback from those who are senior consultants and have experience in recruiting, not just anyone). 

On top of that, you need to work on referrals and writing a great cover letter. If you handle these things well I'd be absolutely shocked to hear you still got only rejections. 

Best,
Cristian

Hi there,

Please please hire a coach!

We need to do a hollistic review of your profile to figure out what needs to happen to gert you across the line.

You might need to get more related experience to boost your resume, your resume itself might be poorly done, you might not be networking effectively, or all the done!

If you're getting rejected, something is wrong. A Q&A won't fix it all.

Invest in yourself and get a coach to get you across the line!
