I applied for two job pool postings back in September 2023. One was for a mid-career level role and the other was for a senior level role. The senior level role's salary range started in the 6 figures. The company wanted to have a pool of candidates who were qualified for the roles so that when they are ready to hire, they have the talent to choose from. The process also included passing an exam (typing, MS Excel) and writing questionnaire. With my resume looking very sparse, I first skipped over these job postings because I didn't think that I would even get a chance. I have the experience and the knowledge just not the longevity with an employer, which is probably the number one reason why I have yet to be hired. But something in me said "apply anyway, don't downplay yourself!", so I applied. A month later, I get an email saying that my applications were screened and I was eligible to proceed to the next round which was the exam. In order to make it to the next round, I would have to get a cumulative score of 70% or higher on each section of the test. I took both exams and waited. I sometimes do okay on these types of tests but being out of work for so long makes my nerves bad so I end up not doing so well. But I was confident that I did my best. Another month passes and I'm informed that I have passed both exams! Phew, what a relief! But the thing I dreaded the most, writing, was up next. There were 4 questions that I had to answer in 500 words or less and both positions had their own set of questions. I had about a week and a half to complete it. Now, I could have just said "fck it" and quit. I've done it before because my anxiety with writing literally gives me panic attacks. Especially in a test or application setting. Even writing on LinkedIn or Substack is hard for me! But I did it (and I'm doing it, still!). Everything was riding on this. I got an email at the beginning of February informing me that I made it to the candidate pool for BOTH roles. Which means that I could be considered for an interview whenever they have a position open. I cried so hard that day. I know it isn't a job offer, but knowing that I am in a candidate pool for a SENIOR LEVEL POSITION WITH A SIX-FIGURE STARTING SALARY was the best news ever! A girl who has holes the size of Texas in her resume can be considered for a six-figure STARTING salary. Me! I think about this every time I get discouraged or try to apply to roles that are lower than my capabilities. As long as I believe in myself, anything is possible! ****************************** I am accepting REPARATIONS payments as a BENEFICIARY of the 2024 hashtag #BuyBLACKJuneteenth Reparations Race Campaign taking place between June 19-30.

Fundraisers: do you have a good structure for presenting a proposal / idea / request for support? Asking b/c I sometimes receive surprisingly unstructured proposals. A good one might be STAR: as people are told to use in job interviews: Situation: where we are now (x is trialled and 'works');   Target: where you want to get to (eg., universal delivery of x)   Action: what you're going to do - and how much it'll cost etc.  Results: what effect you're expecting that to have in terms of outcomes, no. communities, patients; incidences; costs (cost per case...) I'm interested in other good structures. #fundraising

Your CV has the power to either open doors or slam them shut during the job search. So how can you make sure it leaves the right impression? Throughout my own career journey, I've experimented with various CV formulas out there. But one strategy that helped the most in making my CV stand out was numbers. Quantifying your achievements can significantly strengthen your profile. Things like: "Increased sales by 55% in first year" "Raised over $25K for local charity through fundraising event" "Boosted campaign engagement by 75% from previous year" But why is this necessary, and how does it help? We will delve into why numbers matter in my next post! #dataanalytics #cvwriting #jobsearchtips #standoutresumes
