I got another question for you. Do employers even keep your resume or CV around after you are employed? I mean they probably do but I mean do they do random checks or have people take cracks at it after you’ve been hired?
Yes, they do. Trust. There are different reasons they keep this information with the employee personnel file. Encountered different situations where the HR dept, Hiring Manager, or Dept Manager did routine or random checks after an offer was extended and in some cases even after the employee was hired. Especially jobs or positions with at-will employment termination. Different types of false information could serve as a performance indicator. Most employers usually perform the background check, references, salary history prior to a job offer.

Also, later down the line, if there are any personality conflicts or you're not meeting performance expectations; the manager or supervisor could do more in-depth research into your background; if they find any discrepancies- that could serve as cause for justifying a negative performance appraisal or termination. People 'pad' their resumes but I'm talking other details that someone may be able to document.

This is confusing cause I got friends who are well established in their careers and they tell me one page resumes are outdated!

Especially if you have work experience
That's the difference between a resume and a curriculum vitae. People that have years of experience, over different types of jobs within their field, or promotions, extensive job history - will have multiple pages because their demonstrating their expertise, knowledge, skills, acquired levels of experience. They have an established career path. In that case, it's more about letting the resume and qualifications be the 'face' of the interview rather than an interview in support of the resume. People with multiple degrees/ advanced degrees or certifications that are applying for positions with upper level management, supervisory, positions also can have multi-page resumes (curriculum vitaes).

What types of careers do your friends have?

Your whole history needs to be better summarized or it can't all be relevant to your current search. People should have different resumes tailored to different professions/positions. There is no way something you did 10 years ago is going to be relevant to what your applying for today. In most cases...

I do the opposite to what I highlighted.... I have a master resume.. 4-5 pages, all work described, etc.. based on the job I'm answering I delete stuff but I keep mine to 3 pages max when I'm done.. two for work and 1 for education, awards, certs, registrations and etc.


I'm a engineer and every job is relevant in some way .... two pages of work is optimal

And you get more than enough call backs?

What is the max amount of bulletins for each experience that you recommend?

What to do if a person lied about having a degree, got a job, but now need proof? :lupe:

For a friend...

photoshop .... but if they ask for a transcript.. nevermind.... best thing to do is confess instead of getting caught... in some instances the job can hit you with larceny depending on the title and credential you lied about. I've seen the job prosecute... I work for the city and they take that stuff seriously...

edit: example.. a guy let his NYS engineer license expire for 10 years.. our new boss was a dikk and verified everybody's registration (mine included) the job found out.. the salary difference is 15K/year... he got hit with the retire or else we prosecute for 15k* 5 years

If I apply... I get a call back...

I have a minimum of three bullets per job but the job that has the most similar work I have 7-8 depending. As long as I stay on 2 pages of work.

That's not going to end well. A lot of these unaccredited schools or companies that offer fabricated diplomas have been under government scrutiny. They're also imposing regulations on the for-profit institutions which is why you see a lot of name changes taking place. That's why most companies or hiring agencies are requesting "official" transcripts or diplomas and checking to make sure the schools issuing them are Regionally accredited (by the US Dept of Education) as opposed to having national accreditation.

Also official copies of transcripts/diplomas will have an embossed seal, some employers request that official version directly from the issuing school/agency.

I’m going to get my diploma once I pay the school the $3,000 I owe them. I can still say I obtained my MPA right cause I’m going to pay the school no later than the end of September!

Pretty much how it's done when applying for spots on USAJobs.gov except you just copy paste the job description into the resume builder and keep it moving. No need for a PDF when going through the feds.:mjgrin:

facts. that's a prosecutable offense (worst case scenario). this is the internet age - everything can be verified with a click or program that enables information tracking from various types of databases.

As long as you actually completed the graduate program and was issued a diploma, and the transcript on file states that you completed all your units/credits, then yes. If the only reason they restricted or put a "hold" on your account is due to outstanding payments owed to the univ. or school, then you still graduated. And congrats on that MPA!

That's a method for the university to guarantee they receive their payment because they know you will need verification in order for them to release files to you; that's their way of 'debt collection'.
