Moral of the story is apply up!!!!
Edit: and do therapy

Well done! Did you apply to roles where you didn’t meet the requirements?
Copious-GTea t1_j8ehxwk wrote
23 interviews is a pretty brutal rub. Congratulations on taking a big step up.
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8ejo5h wrote
Thanks!! Yeah I am essentially broken right now lmao
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8ejznz wrote
Sort of. I’m in horticulture and the job descriptions vary a lot, requirements are often flexible, depends on if it’s government, private, nonprofit and I applied to all three. One thing I’m missing is a horticulture degree and some professional development. However I have a ton of work experience in it and a biology degree. So basically what I’ve had to do in resume and interviews is really explicitly detail the techniques and coursework I have under my belt to fill out the lack of hort degree.

Did you laugh when you saw an offer for 35k?
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8enz1s wrote
Oh that’s my current job lmao
guymn999 t1_j8eoxru wrote
Oh well you're laughing either way then
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8epnho wrote
Laughing all the way out the door

Congrats, mate! Few people have that level of employability.
I'm curious though, what made you reject the 75k offer?
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8eqdnw wrote
Thanks! Well I’m not just looking for money. I forgot to mention that a few of the jobs were in other states (I standardized all the salaries for my cost of living here). Anyway that one was kind of a dream job but I thought I would lose my mind if I moved to where it was
StartMaze t1_j8ety7z wrote
Well done! Super achievement

How on Earth did you get 23 interviews on 27 applications? And then 20 offers from 23 interviews??? Even if I'm applying to like McDonalds a few of the postings are old or they don't see my application or something
Teach me the way, sensei
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8f9uof wrote
Thank you my friend 🤘🤘
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8fa716 wrote
I have no fucking idea. I really don’t. My resume is bangin though (I think) and I tailor each to each app?? I also think that somehow the job market in horticulture is really good right now. Don’t know why that would be or if it’s true, but kind of seems like it from my experience
Edit: My intel from 80% of these jobs is that they haven’t gotten a lot of quality applicants. For whatever reason.

How is this type of chart called?
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8fc9q2 wrote
It took me forever to figure it out lol it’s called a Sankey chart
MariachiBandMonday t1_j8fgm8s wrote
Must be nice to get 20 job offers…
But seriously, I’m very happy for you! You must be a fantastic applicant.
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8fj48q wrote
This is my first time ever applying for jobs in the right way and it’s paid off! I am grateful and surprised.

Therapy is your profession? That is crazy return on application (just made up that metric).
talkhead420 t1_j8fxm4k wrote
Any chance you could create a template/example resume based off of the one you use? I would love to build mine similarly

Dumb question....what kind of graph is this?
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8g52en wrote
I honestly would but the next couple weeks are going to be fucked getting ready and I don’t think I’ll have time. I use a simple word format with one small left column for contact, skills, and qualifications, and the bigger right column for work experience and education. I don’t use any of those weird rating widgets because I hate them but I know they’re popular now. I honestly think employers in my industry would find them irritating
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8g56hp wrote
Haha no I mean do personal therapy and you’ll get better at self validating and reaching for things you didn’t think you could do 😅
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8g58z6 wrote
I had to look it up it’s called a Sankey chart!

What’s the job/field u applied for?
vespoon8 t1_j8g7no5 wrote
Congrats! What field are you in?
rhen_var t1_j8g9hdf wrote
In 2019-2020 I put out 2 applications, got 2 interviews, and got 2 offers. I’ve probably put out like 10 applications ever.
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8gbjba wrote
That was me before this year. Just put a couple out and go with it lol

Horticulture positions! I cast a pretty wide net from fine garden companies to ag nonprofits to private estates

TheDiano t1_j8igpsf wrote
You used 27 different resumes ?
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8ik3lp wrote
Pretty much …
lotus-o-deltoid t1_j8iqm37 wrote
This is pretty standard once you have unique skill sets. You highlight your relevant experience depending on how their job posting was phrased and the company culture.
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8iuxax wrote
Exactly this. I have super broad experience so it just doesn’t make sense to use the same resume. Also yeah they just wanna see that you’re a good fit for that specific role
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8iv9ak wrote
Some are management/supervisory, some are specialist or coordinator and some are just crew member. I have one completed bachelors and another almost completed but I’m missing the second semester of physics lol
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8iviod wrote
I would recommend looking up resume templates/guides, getting professional friends to help you practice interviews and look up common interview questions! I looked on Indeed, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, and local industry-specific job boards
Edit: Also I feel for you. I’ve been living off cheese bread and credit cards

Same. Maybe look into balance transfers as a short term solution

That would have been my guess, although it’s a bit mean IMO, but according to my grandfather it’s “tink". I’m not sure it really translates now that classy people don’t use silly euphemisms so much.

Hell you should start your own resume writing business according to these stats fuck the job!

How long did you normally have to respond to a job offer before declining?
And how do you know whether to go with a job or decline and hope you get a better offer later?
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8uylvv wrote
You ask me like I know the answers to these questions 😅. A lot of them were small businesses so I didn’t have as long to decide as some larger companies give you. I had about a week on average. And I did decide to roll the dice a few times, the $75k job was actually the first one I got offered but I decided to keep looking - I think it’s just a matter of what your goals are and how big a risk you’re willing to take
dulwichman2 t1_j8vno0p wrote
Thanks, appreciate the response
a_man_of_music t1_j8y8ycf wrote
You declined a 75k for a 70k? Why, if it's okay to ask?
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8ydwko wrote
Bc I value other things besides money?
Edit: Didn’t mean to sound rude but to me $5k isn’t as important as how I’m going to be spending 40-50 hours of my life every week
a_man_of_music t1_j8ye1jk wrote
Well, that's why I asked why, as in what are these reasons.
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8ye4h4 wrote
Sorry you beat me to it. Just had a super long day didn’t mean to be rude.
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8ye6yu wrote
The $70k had more opportunities for personal growth in the position!
a_man_of_music t1_j8yegdo wrote
Oh, no worries. I'm actually having a shitty day myself, so I can relate.
a_man_of_music t1_j8yellq wrote
A pretty good reason, actually. All the best in your future!

I hope ur day gets better!! And thanks for understanding. Best of luck to you too

Nothing against you op, but I hat the visuals of these charts

Oh interesting mine or the charts in general? Bc I know the visuals on mine are awful 😂

No just these charts in general. It seems they’ve taken over this sub. Idk Nothing about urs makes it awful I just dislike the way these charts present data.
Menacingamaranth OP t1_j8eafyp wrote
My job search in a major city with COL 10% higher than national average. Highlighted cell is my current position salary. I over-applied because I didn't realize the extent of my qualifications. I used SankeyMATIC to generate and excel/word to add cells (sorry don’t know how to do otherwise)
