The thread title said it all, literally been studying for certs and working at my job remotely for most of the year changing my resume around but noticing I wasn't getting any offers or interviews that were talking about any real money. Looked up jobs that pay decently that don't require an advanced degree, spent hours on LinkedIn and Reddit reading books looking at Dei, talent outsourcing, and recruiting resumes, and mirrored mine to look the same. Changed my LinkedIn and I was actually getting hit up daily from jobs. Never done sourcing before ever so I was winging it and learning the interview lingo. After about 16 interviews and 2 being on the verge of offering but not enough money in my opinion, I finally got the hang of ats system's, the questions they would ask in the interview, how to source candidates and how to research candidates.
Had a screening with sed company via phone call, then zoom then spoke with someone else on zoom then an in office interview.
They offered me the job, I negotiated more and I just passed the background check, only negative is its 4 days in the office and one remote and I have to dress business casual which I haven't in 2 years and I lost mad weight (any ideas for best places to cop some beside Uniqlo? that's not too crazy on the bank) and I'm not only the only male, I was the only black man I saw on the floor (the head boss in my dept is a black women)
Before I start, Im obviously gonna do mad research and read books about the industry to prepare myself and I'm not trying to be here for life (maybe it'll give me the push to go to law school) or something but yea I'm gonna try my best and see where this goes. My fallback plan would be tech or something in education but God willing this works so I can at least pah off some debt and save some bread
