Hey Blind,
I’m getting absolutely obliterated and rejections from every single job application without even making it to an interview. I’ve tried tips from ZipJob (free tips for resume structure), and Resume Worded to take my resume from a 50% on screening to 86%, but the rejections just keep coming. I’ve done skill assessments on LinkedIn to show I know my skills (even did python and SQL assessments which isn’t always a guarantee in a finance hire).
Does anyone have any tips or resources I can leverage to get some progress in the right direction? At this point I honestly just think getting in front of someone is my biggest challenge. As a last ditch effort I’ve even reached out to recruiters at these companies but they typically just ghost you. #corpfinance #finance #fpa
Looking to move from a startup executive role to a company like Google, Dropbox, Box, Meta, Twilio, Gitlab, Salesforce, etc basically tech company but in corp finance as strategy or FP&A.

What has helped more recently: NeTwOrKiNg , although it’s cliche it’s true . I have sometimes messaged recruiters at companies 2-3 times and I’ve found my chances of getting a response go up tremendously. Just think about that recruiter who has been annoying you with some job you don’t want but I guarantee a name pops up in your head and it’s the person who has messaged you multiple times.
I have stopped going down the path of corp fin and have pivoted to get my masters in comp sci but I wish you the best of luck.
