Great article - thanks much for sharing! Two questions - 1. What do you suggest to put as a job title in a resume in cases where the official title does not match the actual responsibilities (e.g. Analyst vs Program Manager)? 2. With regards to changing geo-location - do you suggest changing location in both LinkedIn and resume, or just in LinkedIn alone?
Hey Alexander - great questions. For 1 - is there enough real estate to add in a little strapline under your title, company, and years spent there (e.g., first line = 'Analyst @ Amazon, 2020-present); second line = 'Program manager for all US Amazon Prime growth initiatives')? If not, I'd err on the side of explaining what your responsibilities are with your formal job title in parentheses. For 2 - I'd say that's a personal decision that depends on how much you want to move or how flexible you want to appear, but if you put it on your resume people will assume you already live there so I'd recommend just LinkedIn for now. Thanks for reading and sharing!
