Hi everyone, I need some ideas and or insight!
Details! (scroll to the bottom to see the base question needed)
So I work for a company that I’m dying to get out of. (it considers itself a tech company but really once you get into it, you realize it’s a start up that never grew up) I only started working there because things at my big tech company went crazy during the pandemic after six really successful years.
I have just started the process updating my LinkedIn. I had a friend who has been a manager at my current place who got reached out to by a recruiter. This friend has only had one management position, for one year. Long story short the recruiter actually connected her with a SaaS company at the corporate level with great pay-she’s been there for about five months now. Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy for her, but as I really know her, she’s actually not really that qualified for the job - yet. But I’m sure she will live up to the challenge! (and I actually have two other friends - men in their mid 30s that left the same company in the same scenario/résumé/experience - and also got low six figure salary’s that they may not be fully qualified for yet)
I reached out to the same recruiter, and they actually didn’t really even look at my information.
That being said. I actually have several different solid positions as a manager and leader. That would help me get the jobs. I would be looking for.
The thing is I’m actually 51 years old though. (I definitely don’t look like it which, unfortunately is something that’s helpful in the workplace for a woman.)
I know I’m just starting on this journey, and I know, of course, that my life and skills are not identical to anybody else’s whether that’s good or bad.
****>>> The base question is this: how do I go about including these other positions on resumes and LinkedIn as they are over 15 years ago? And are not in a linear order? All were for about four years each maybe more . And most importantly I don’t need to show or want to show the last 20+ years of my work but I’m going to be looking for a higher level jobs in the executive area.
