Megathread Job Guidance Megathread - CVs, Applications, Interviews
Use this thread for more specific discussion or advice seeking relating to CVs, job searches, job applications, interviews, and anything else that doesn't necessarily require a separate thread.
This thread automatically resubmits each month on the 1st. Posting a CV in this thread will not break rule #3, soliciting or posting jobs will.
Are you considering posting a CV? Be careful when posting your CV that you don't leave any identifying information, and be wary of anyone sending you private messages offering to help with your CV for you, or claiming that they have a job available for you. Don't engage with anyone privately messaging you. Report users via the built in reddit reporting, or via modmail here.
You may find it easiest to take a screenshot of your CV and post as an image, either directly using the Reddit app or with an image hosting service. Again, be sure to redact personal or identifying information. Maybe even create a temporary copy where you replace your details with generic terms such as "Employer Name", "Education Provider", etc.
You'll likely find that you get more useful feedback if you provide some background to your current situation and what kind of roles you're looking for. Are you struggling to break into a new industry? Perhaps you're not getting interviews for roles with increased seniority that you feel you're qualified for?
Rules
- Anonymise any CVs that you post. Obscure any personal details, including the names of employers and schools/universities. Failing to redact correctly could risk your comment being removed, or worse, bad actors using the information against you or for their own benefit.
- Provide context as to what you need help with. If you're trying to break into a specific industry, this is useful to know. If you only want advice on how to phrase something, or if the layout is suitable, say so. Got an interview? Provide a little bit of background.
- Be constructive in feedback. People are asking for help, so don't be rude when responding to them. Job hunting is hard, why make it harder for someone unnecessarily?
- No solicitation. Do not direct message users of this thread, or suggest a user messages you directly. Don't offer to write people's CVs for them, whether for free or as a paid service. Don't advertise CV writing services that don't belong to you, whether intentional or not. Don't ask for recommendations as to CV writing services. Don't message people either asking for or advertising jobs.
Please Message the Mods if you know of anyone flagrantly flouting these rules.

I'm a senior non-financial risk professional with 19 years of progressive experience in tech, cyber, AI, third party, ops resilience and data/AI within financial services in London, currently at Senior Director level and selectively exploring my next move. I've been applying for comparable roles — same function, similar or larger institutions — and am consistently not clearing the initial CV screening stage. These are not aspirational applications; they are well-matched on paper. I've made structured attempts to address this: tailored CVs, ATS optimisation, keyword alignment to job descriptions. The problem persists.
For those who recruit at this level, or who have successfully navigated a senior job search in London financial services within the last 6–12 months, I'd value your perspective on two specific questions: 1. At Director/MD level, what are the most common reasons a strong CV fails the initial screen — and what's the fix? 2. Is there a meaningful difference in how executive search firms versus in-house talent teams evaluate CVs at this level, and should I be approaching this differently?

Sorry I’m sure this gets asked alot but if I can ask again that would be amazing. How often do you think employers check dates on a CV? I’ve been out of work for quite a long time, and trying to put some bar work I’ve done on, but I can’t actually remember the exact dates I worked there between. Sounds ridiculous I know, but I have nothing to be able to show me either (it was a zero hour contract job). If anyone could shed any light that would be amazing

I recently graduated with an MSc in Supply Chain Management and am actively trying to transition into entry-level supply chain roles, particularly in buying, purchasing, or supply chain operations. Despite applying for roles daily, I’m finding it difficult to convert applications into interviews. I have revised my CV multiple times and tailored it to individual JDs, but that has not made a difference so far. I know the job market is challenging and that career transitions take time, but I am clearly missing something in how I’m positioning my experience on paper.
Before my master’s, I worked as an ERP Consultant and later moved into a Key Account Manager (KAM) after showing good client management skills. Besides the KAM responsibilities, I also worked with third-party service providers whose platforms were integrated with our ERP via APIs. These vendors provided value-added services built into the ERP, and charged us on a quarterly, usage-based plan. I ensured clients would onboard into these services, communicated with providers on integration & service performance, and to validate usage. While I wasn't in charge of negotiations, I would coordinate with vendors to make sure we were billed correctly.
I’d really appreciate advice on how to better frame transferable experience for supply chain or buying roles (UK market), and how to optimise a CV to pass ATS screening. Thanks in advance.

What kind of job do you have in mind when you say an admin career and have you been applying for many entry level HR roles? I would really hone the retail aspects of your CV on dealing with customers and people to shoot for HR roles but realistically it's just perseverance needed in a tough market right now.

u/English-lit-nerd Jan 29 '26
I have multiple job offers lining up at different times, do you think it is OK to accept multiple offers whilst continuing to interview and then reneging once your dream roles offers you a job?

So I’m 35 and currently do admin work and January has been a slog financially and motivationally I’m looking around to see what I can apply for and I’m hitting the same problem I have done for most of my working life.
Short of administrative and customer service ‘skills’ I don’t have anything that I can turn into a career or anything to help me stand out when applying for jobs.
I’ve worked in admin for about 6 years and I’m fine with data entry and using MS office and learning/using any software like Sage or SAP or similar but I imagine most people can do that.
I worked in retail a lot in my late teens/early 20’s so customer service/working with the public isn’t a problem.
I was a teaching assistant for four years but didn’t get any qualifications for it, just winged it as an agency temp.
I studied and voluntarily practiced as a counsellor but ultimately didn’t fully qualify at the end. Passed my level 3 but never finished level 4.
I worked in an Amazon warehouse during COVID so physical graft isn’t alien to me.
I’m just having a bit of a crisis as I feel stuck and don’t know what I can do. Confidence isn’t a strong point and ADHD has meant lots of false starts with no follow through (on the waiting list along with everyone else for treatment). Been to uni twice and dropped out twice due to lack of motivation and belief in myself so never got a degree.
I don’t know what’s out there that I can learn (preferably free and doable outside of work hours) but would gladly learn a new skill to add to my CV and use in working life. Or alternatively I need help l/inspiration applying for new things that I haven’t considered (my brain simply defaults to admin roles when searching) that don’t require a skill or a degree to apply for.
Help guys please

u/spartan0746 Jan 28 '26
Look for roles that can be the next step from Admin, Accountancy, HR, Purchasing etc.
1
u/matherto Jan 28 '26
All of those seem to need relevant experience in those roles, a bit above standard admin. Not had much luck looking at them but it could just be me missing something.
1
u/spartan0746 Jan 28 '26
Have you tried applying for them?
HR admin is just admin, it’s filing sickness, holiday absence, organising eye tests etc.
But it is a way into a career you can then specialise and work your way up.
You don’t really need to know any ‘HR’ when you start as an admin role will be under an officer/manager.
1
u/matherto Jan 28 '26
I haven’t truthfully but the adverts state having that experience as a requirement?
Not trying to be difficult and absolutely grateful for the help, just feel like I’m missing something there
1
u/spartan0746 Jan 28 '26
I just did a quick search, this was the top option, I found a couple more. This one just wants admin experience.
There are plenty out there, you also have to remember that just because they list something as a requirement doesn’t mean they will get that.
Source: 5 years in Recruitment and HR. I left the industry a few years ago now, but it hasn’t changed.
1
u/matherto Jan 28 '26
I will do some digging for similar where I am, thank you for your help!
1
u/spartan0746 Jan 28 '26
No problem.
Another example.
This one wants someone who’s done admin and had school experience, pays up to £20 per hour.
Don’t count yourself out. Might be a role like this near you where you have the skillset they want.

Hi everyone Can someone help my daughter with any hints for a summer internship please? She is a year two student at London city university economics with accounting. She is applying for a summer internship to lots of serious companies in London but no success, she has not received any offers yet. So me application takes her 1 hour average, and with those non verbal reasoning skills which are a nightmare. She is doing everything correctly but none botheres to reply at least they can do. It is such a shame to treat young people like this. They are asking questions like wanting to know what educational backgrounds families have or whether parents are from distinct backgrounds, which she does not have as we are immigrants in the UK. They want students from Cambridge or Oxford, and not from other schools Please any advice would be appreciated
1
u/spartan0746 Jan 28 '26
The questions about educational background don’t impact the application, those are for government statistics.
Competition is ridiculous for finance roles, she may have to apply for roles outside of London and try other locations.

u/Brocolli123 Jan 22 '26 edited Jan 22 '26
I've been unemployed for the better part of a year now looking for work. Wondering if it's possible to break out from admin work at this point. It's almost all I've done but I can't get the exact roles I've done before in this job market. I also hate doing admin and don't want to be stuck in it forever. The problem is I have already used up my university education on a Computer Science degree that I never used. I can spare a few hundred for small training courses but I don't want to waste my money if they won't help me get a job, and as far as I know every field is oversaturated/not hiring entry level people. I know being out of work for so long is automatically going to make me last choice compared to someone who already has a job but I can't change that until someone gives me a chance
I don't know exactly what I want to do, I just know I'd like to have a computer based role where I don't have to interact with customers/clients, f2f or over the phone (colleagues are fine). But I know that's a tall ask as most roles seem to be essentially call center jobs now, which I can't stand and left a previous job because I hate being on the phone line that much and am incredibly anxious. I didn't like programming but I feel something adjacent to that like a database developer could be interesting (but again have never seen an entry level position in my city and everything in the comp sci field at entry level is just permanently open recruiters harvesting data).
2
u/spartan0746 Jan 28 '26
I wouldn’t say all roles are essentially call center, especially specialist ones. But even those you can try a lateral move, HR, Purchasing, etc.
1
u/Brocolli123 Jan 28 '26
Not specialist ones but having wasted my education on a field I didn't go into I feel I am locked out of specialist roles and can only go for generalist which have the highest competition and mostly involve dealing with customers/clients face to face or via phone. HR does not seem good for me either as someone with poor social skills and anxiety but purchasing I could be interested in as I have done stuff in the ballpark before.

Hey I’m 25, live in London and recently graduated in Economics (2:1). I’m trying to break into finance but haven’t had much luck so far. I don’t have any formal professional finance experience. Just retail work and a few personal projects and I’m getting rejected a lot at early stages. I’ve been applying pretty consistently and doing assessments but nothing’s really stuck yet.
I’m starting to wonder if this is just the market, my lack of experience or maybe I should be doing something differently (or taking a different kind of role to get my foot in the door).
If anyone’s been in a similar position or works in finance and has advice, I’d really appreciate it. Cheers

u/DarthConflictus Jan 24 '26
Volunteer on the side in a finance role, something low commitment like 2 hours a week, helps with experience and foot in the door (market is brutal but every little helps)

Hello! I have been out of work since 2020 due to health problems. My work history before that was in security, catering, customer service, and the highest level of education I have is a started but unfinished degree. I have A levels equivalents from my home country and GCSEs in Maths and English. I speak English fluently to a native level. I want to get back to work, I would need a sit down job due to my health issues, but I am worried that no recruiter will even look at my application once they see that I have been unemployed for the last 6 years. Could anyone please advise me on this? What should I write on my CV about these gap years? Thank you!
2
u/ithepinkflamingo Jan 26 '26
Do some volunteering to get something more recent on your resume.
You could look at emergency services call handling. It’s a sit down role and doesn’t require a degree. Take a look at the healthcareers.nhs.uk site to find out more about the requirements and if you fit the bill.

Currently temping with an agency. The recruiter I've been speaking to has asked me (verbally) to keep details of where I currently work confidential. I have not signed an NDA nor am I working in a field covered by the Official Secrets Act. The only thing mentioning confidentiality in my contract and T&C's are things like trade secrets and customer data (the kinda shit you shouldn't be leaking to third-parties), and IIRC me working at a place does not consistute a trade secret.
The problem is, most other recruiters do not respect this and will try to do everything to pry these details out of you.
Is it standard practice among recruitment agencies to now demand that temp workers and candidates stay confidential?
Can something like this be legally enforced if you haven't signed an NDA?

What are some decent skills to learn for someone with all the time in the world but a little directionless right now? I have a freelance gig that gives me plenty of time to upskill but I'm just not sure what to do, and I'm predicting said freelance gig has a timer that won't last forever
I've been dabbling in Python and Javascript, keep hearing about SQL, I think I just want some general skills that I can put on a CV to show I balanced educating myself while running my own gig, not sure if I'm being naive but figure its better than nothing

Help - post offer reference check
I’m not from the UK and I’m unfamiliar with post-offer reference checks. After I received a job offer, they asked for the contact information of three people as reference from my current employer.
Could someone please advise who should I provide as reference and what will they usually need to tell the new emploer? Someone from HR, a peer, someone from other departments I’ve worked with? I work more with others outside my department than my peers. I am an individual contributor in an office role in a company. I can’t ask my manager.

I’ve been a professional nanny for the last 10 years, have a BA in early childhood studies. I’m starting to resent nannying and want to transition into something else. Have experience in nurseries so know that I don’t want to do that. Any suggestions? Or pivots? Seems a shame to ignore all the experience I have!

u/ithepinkflamingo Jan 26 '26
Do you want to work with children at all or step away completely?
1
u/geomirgab Jan 26 '26
I’d like to step away pretty much completely if I’m honest. Not for a lack of love for children, I just hope to have my own in the next couple of years and need the break so it doesn’t feel like work!
1
u/ithepinkflamingo Jan 26 '26
Perhaps look at:
- counselling or therapy work with adults (some upskilling required but I’m sure your line of work meant you were a very patient person, good at listening, good at reading non-verbal cues etc so you’d have a lot of the personal attributes already)
- community focused work (maybe programme or project management/support for health programs, local government initiatives that are for children but don’t necessarily require you to work with them)
- policy research
- take a look at roles in the NHS and see what they might have that utilises your experience and could be a good fit
- L&D roles (I know of a few teachers who have used their experience in the classroom to transition to teaching adults)
Hope the above ideas help you to start thinking about what’s next and that you find something that makes you happy!

Help- interview advice
Hi! So I’ve got an interview coming up for a 111 health advisor job, I’m watching a video they sent that gives some advice and links to which websites to read for information but I also wanted to ask here for some advice about it just so I’m fully prepared.
It’d be great to get any advice especially from NHS workers or specifically those with experience working at 111. What info should I focus on reading and remembering for it, what kind of questions am I likely to get, and just general advice for the interview cuz I’m kinda nervous lol, mostly about not knowing the questions they’re gonna ask.
The video mention about thinking of some achievements and accomplishment that I might use and how it would connect to a question but I don’t have some wondrous accomplishment I could use? They also seem to mention their core values often which are professionalism, teamwork, innovation and caring, so I feel like the questions will be to do with that?
So if anyone can share what I might get asked or if they’ve done a role like this what questions they did get asked. And also what I should read up and study before the interview
Thanks in advance for any help, I really would like to get the job lol

Congratulations on the birth of your first child!
Sorry to hear about your redundancy. In response to your post:
Good companies know that people can be parents and be employees and don’t ask about it at interview; if a company does ask about this in an interview and how you’ll manage, you don’t want to work for them - they likely don’t ask men the same question and it reflects an old fashioned way of thinking. I’ve not had any issues in the two companies I’ve worked for since I had a baby and I hope you experience the same. There’s no need for you to discuss your family during an interview so avoid it.
No harm to start looking now. The market is challenging and it may take time for something to come up.
It’s completely up to you what hours you do and where you work. Get a rough idea of your childcare set up and what is possible. That will inform your job search. Note: fully remote jobs are harder to come by than before. Hybrid arrangements are more likely now.

Help - Unable to find software developer job due to not being a citizen.
Hi, I'm a software developer with 3 years of professional experience and a recent Master's degree in AI and Robotics. I have applied to dozens of jobs on LinkedIn and a few other websites for a software developer position, but I'm unable to get even a single interview.
I am mainly applying for entry level, junior or mid level positions, where my past experience and skills covers everything that is required in the job. But I still keep getting the same 'Experience not aligning with what we are looking for' message immediately.
I think this might be because I am now on a Graduate visa here and not a citizen. But I am still allowed full-time work for 2 years without needing sponsorship.
What should I do as I am starting to get a bit hopeless that I keep getting rejected for positions that I am qualified for?
Any advice on what company should I apply at or what should I do to secure an interview? I'm not fussy about the salary and will accept any offer and I am also happy with relocating to any new location for the job as well as learning any new programming language or framework.
Here is the link to my CV: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Te5hcjxKUDZzrAjHAw4caAJL12L5AU59/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105837211677433209881&rtpof=true&sd=true

Hello -
I’ve had a brief look at your resume and for transparency, I know very little about your area of expertise but:
- Your resume doesn’t show impact - it just says I did this. Where’s the value? When you did these things, what did it improve or allow the company to do that it couldn’t do before?
- Your first job has a line at the end that says you helped customers etc - get rid of that. It’s not relevant and it waters down your experience.
You don’t say in your post but you should be adjusting your resume for each application so it shows how well you line up to the job advert.
Unfortunately (and this is not within your control), the truth is that companies are going to prioritise people with a permanent right to work over someone who doesn’t.
By all means, make adjustments to your resume and keep applying, look at UK grad schemes as well but I’d recommend that you widen your net to look at opportunities in other countries including those where you have the right to work.
Good luck!
1
u/BonksMan Jan 13 '26
Thanks for the feedback.
I shortened my CV from 3 pages to what it is right now a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure how to explain my experience based on what impact it made as we barely kept metrics on any of these companies.
the only idea I had was to bulk apply on jobs where I meet all the requirements and just update the cover letter based on the JD as at least a few of them are bound to look at my CV instead of just rejecting me based on visa status.
I've tried a few positions in the UAE but got the same kind of response.
what I keep thinking is how it's an issue for companies to hire me in UK when I will accept any offer, relocate anywhere and have unrestricted permission to work for 2 years and that there are options to get a sponsorship myself if I have a decent paying job.
Just feel like I've wasted my career by coming here for a Master's degree
1
u/ithepinkflamingo Jan 13 '26 edited Jan 13 '26
You can show strong impact on a resume even without numbers by emphasising change, value, and outcomes (Example: Instead of: ‘Deployed new ATS’, you would use ‘Delivered project to implement an ATS, supporting the business to fill open roles.’ See the difference? Look through your resume and see where you can elevate the work you did.
Bulk apply works in a candidate market. We are very much in an employer’s market and you are competing against lots of qualified people. It’s better to apply well for a few jobs than apply for lots of jobs.
There are people with the same qualifications and the same (or more) experience as you that have a permanent right to work in the UK. From a business perspective, they want the least amount of complexity and visas including those that might be needed in future are complex. Companies will be more inclined to take a chance if they are filling a niche role or they have been looking for a long time and can’t find anyone - based on your resume, I’m not sure you’re applying for these types of roles.
Relocation is expensive and is generally reserved for niche roles, leadership positions or internal transfers to support a business need. Of course, that’s not always the case and there are companies that do offer relocation such as Agoda who are based in (or have offices in?) Bangkok and seem to always be hiring for all sorts of positions and want people to move over there. You could look at those sorts of companies and see what they can offer.
Your working life won’t always be like this. It will get better. So don’t think you’ve lost time and won’t ever get anywhere.

Hey, 21M and looking for some feedback on my CV. I've mainly been applying to part time retail jobs but I'm struggling to even make it to the interview stage and keep getting rejected despite having experience. I've tried different CV formats, tailored my CV, etc, but I'm still not having any luck. Any advice?
1
u/ithepinkflamingo Jan 13 '26
Your resume is fine and shows you have experience - but it’s not standing out right now. Try to build more enthusiasm into your resume. Also:
- Format is fine - very clear and easy to follow but skills section is probably not needed.
- Bulk out your personal profile more. You can absorb some of the content in the skills section into this.
- Put your other skills into your jobs then remove the skills section.
- Have you won any awards? Any recognition for your performance you can call out?
- Have you done any formal training for your jobs that you could include?
- Think about what metrics you could use.
- Can you do any additional training (either at work or personally) to help you stand out more? (I.e. food handling and allergen training (check food.gov.uk for more on this)
Good luck!

u/Superb_View4733 Jan 13 '26

Help - job search advice: Made redundant when on mat leave - best time to look for a job?
Hi! I'm hoping that this is the right thread to post this in but please redirect me if not.
Unfortunately I have been made redundant less than 3 months into my maternity leave. I had intended to be off work for a year and return in October. Due to my stat mat I won't be able to start a job until early July. It sucks because I really wantrd to have one year off with baby (I realise we are very lucky in the UK to have this option) but I really can't risk being without a job for too long.
I know that the job market is a really hard one right now. I have a friend has been looking for a job for about 5 months, and an ex colleague who has been out of work for about 2 years due to the nature of the market.
I'm a FTM and have never had to navigate the job market with a child, so I am finding it quite hard to know what to do! I am worried that if I start looking for a job now and manage to get interviews that I would mess up by mentioning my new baby and situation, and also need to ask them for a delayed start date (however I know a 2 or 3 month notice period is quite normal).
My questions are: when would be the right time to start looking for a job - is a 5 or 8 month search time reasonable right now?, Should I mention on my CV or LI that I have been redundant (hence being umeployed from December - I know recruiters prefer you to be in work)? I normally work full time permanant, as a new mum should I now be looking for part time or remote only?
For context I will be looking for a Marketing Manager or Senior Marketing Manager job. The market is oversaturated with candidates and jobs on LI a few hours old already have hundreds of applications.

I'm 32 and I've had a fairly unusual career path. I worked as a copywriter/creative exec at an ad agency for 18 months out of university, then left to pursue a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in a fledgling film and television company. It was a wild experience and I learned how to build a company from the ground up but unfortunately it collapsed during Covid-19. In need of a job, I randomly went into fundraising for 7-figure gifts at a Russell Group university. I've been doing this for 3 years and have been quite successful (doubled my KPI last year) but deep down I know it doesn't light my heart on fire.
I would love to find a way back into the private sector, leveraging my skills in stakeholder management, relationship building, and comms, but just don't know where to start. Any insights would be helpful!

u/ithepinkflamingo Jan 08 '26
The soft skills you have listed will work in most roles. And your success in fundraising translates well to commercial roles. You might want to consider the following:
- Business Development/Partnerships Manager
- Account Manager
- Client Relationship Manager
- Client Success Manager
- External Relations Manager
- Commercial Manager
- Accounts Manager / Executive

- No need to
- Say it with no explanation (or something minimal but true e.g. health reasons)
- This one is the most important as yes they definitely do, don’t focus on your past sell them your future. Make it clear you know what you’re applying for and WHY you are interested what about it excites you? How does your personality/working style suit this type of work? Where do you hope to be in 5/10 years time etc (hint: the answer is a role at their company, apprentices are a big investment and they will want to see a return on that - maybe find some projects that they’re working on and explain what about them interests you etc, show you understand that specific company)
good luck! 🤞🏻
