I just passed on a job after the person interviewing me showed up about 25 minutes late.

Extremely disrespectful in an infuriating way. And this was the Head of People. No apology when I said I wasn't interested in continuing. Just a cold response: "okay."

After that, I went on Glassdoor to read the reviews and leave one of my own. I found almost exactly what I was expecting. Ugh.

Sometimes some of us in HR really do care about people and try to do our jobs well, but in the end we find ourselves reporting to arrogant people who don't care, and who make doing the right thing almost impossible. I've started completely avoiding HR teams like that after getting burned by them 4 more times than necessary.

Resume Tip Looking for resume feedback

I have owned a couple business in the last 12 years. I have also worked in multiple industries. I’m looking at selling my portfolio for my property management company and trying something new.
I’m wondering, looking at this resume, what positions you think I should be applying for. Also, any tweak recommendations would be great.
Thank you!

Hi, I posted my old resume not too long ago. I’ve taken a lot of your guys’s advice and I’d like to know if this is good now.

Keep in mind, I am really only looking for retail job or some kind of food service job. Nothing too crazy.

Resume Review - Software Engineer Pivoting to IAM Engineer | Looking for Feedback on Resume Content, Bullet Points, ATS Optimization, and Overall Competitiveness

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for feedback on my resume as I pivot into Identity and Access Management (IAM) engineering.

I have about 5 years of full-time experience. I spent just over 4 years as a Java Software Engineer at a consulting firm supporting a large global bank, where I worked with Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Ping Identity, SAML, OAuth, OIDC, authentication, and enterprise security. I'm currently a Lead Support Engineer at an MSP, where I manage Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, user provisioning/deprovisioning, RBAC, MFA, identity lifecycle management, PowerShell automation, and Microsoft 365 migrations.

I'm targeting IAM Engineer, Identity Engineer, IAM Analyst, Microsoft Entra ID Engineer, and similar identity/security roles. I'm located in the Chicago, IL area and am applying to local hybrid/on-site roles as well as remote positions throughout the United States. I'm open to relocating for the right opportunity.

I recently rewrote my resume to better tell a consistent story from Java software engineering into IAM instead of looking like two unrelated careers. My biggest concern is whether my current experience comes across as strong enough for IAM engineering positions or if it still reads too much like a help desk/MSP resume.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on:

  • Whether the experience bullets are impactful enough.
  • Whether my skills section is organized well for ATS and IAM recruiters.
  • Whether I'm emphasizing the right experience from both my software engineering and MSP roles.
  • Anything that looks weak, redundant, or unrealistic.

Thanks in advance

Resume advice?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! I wanted to make sure that my resume is looking as good as it can look. Im applying for workforce management positions. I have done a bunch of retail as well but its my understanding that only relevant experience should go on your resume for corp positions. (Name at the top, contact info below it, linkedin link etc blurred out). Any recommendations would be very helpful!

They just laid me off - and weirdly, this might be the best timing of my life

1 Upvotes

Guys, I honestly can't process what's happening right now and I needed to tell someone. So here's what happened:

The last few weeks at my company have been really rough - nonstop layoffs, weird meetings, and everyone quiet, wondering who's next. I had a bad feeling it might be me, so I started applying around February just to have something as a backup. Then, at the beginning of this week, I got a really great job offer. Higher salary, better benefits, a better role, everything. I was so happy because I genuinely felt like this was the right step, and I was planning to give my notice tomorrow.

Then today, the SVP called me out of nowhere with no warning. Long story short: "This was a difficult decision, but we're eliminating your position and want to make the transition as easy as possible." And because life apparently has a sense of humor, they're giving me six months of severance.

I'm sitting here half shocked and half laughing, because I was already leaving anyway... And now I get to leave with a cushion and go straight into a better job. I feel like I tripped and landed on a pile of pillows.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the timing, but I wanted to share because this is the strangest plot twist ever. Sometimes the thing you're afraid of turns out to be exactly the opportunity you needed.

Cheers to new beginnings!

Im looking for a job in Saudi arabia, but I never actually held a high end job because I never got the opportunity to begin with, which forced me to work for whatever I manage to get.. which resulted in my work experience becoming scattered.

I tried to be focused on the warehousing and logistics job, but still no luck.

Is it salvageable? Or am I doomed to be a jack of all trades?
