back in business!!

Hi Friends.
I got the pink slip 3 weeks back with one month severance. So my target was to secure the job in one month to avoid loss of pay. Finally secured the job with 3 offers from 3 top companies.
Some tips if it may be helpful to others , that I recently expereinced

1. Read your resume thoroughly and see if there are anything that you can improve and make the resume with the core skills, do not make the resume of mix of different profiles, like dba, architect, project manager, make them all seperate.
2. Try to make the submission to the direct employer or recruiter on top of the chain. You can do that finding contacts on linked in.
3. Do not compromise a lot, this makes these recruiters to think that you are vulnerable for any exploitation, (happened with me, I kicked there butt after getting selected and telling them on why did I do that)

All the best to everyone.

Good stuff buddy.

Immigration forum can always make an exception for job opportunities/sharing. I remember seeing a thread dedicated to it as well. Best thing to do, help each other.

Did you have to take a pay cut or did you get a hike? How are salaries for new employees in this market? You can PM me if you dont want to answer on this forum. Just curious...

Just sent you a PM.

Whats your discipline and industry?

I am not sure I understand your point 1. "and make the resume with the core skills, do not make the resume of mix of different profiles, like dba, architect, project manager, make them all seperate".

Your point 3 too... "I kicked there butt after getting selected and telling them on why did I do that". What do you mean?
