This is a fair question & we hear it a lot; there are many reasons we omit our clients’ information as well as each roles’ target salary. We work to protect our client’s privacy while also protecting the exclusivity we have with them for each role. In regards to why we omit salary information, the quickest answer is: it varies. Sometimes clients rely on us to consult with them on the target salary for the specific talent they are looking to add to their team and other times companies have a strict budget but are more negotiable on other factors in the job description. And in many cases, it is depending on experience which of course varies greatly from candidate to candidate.

There is no cost to our candidates for using our services.

We always recommend catering your resume to each role you are interested in applying for. In a way your resume shows how you marketed yourself. For more junior candidates, we recommend bringing your education to one of the first things the hiring manager’s eye will see. We recommend a skills section of the resume early on in the resume, instead of one of the last sections or at the bottom of the page & highly recommend bullet points for each platform/software you have experience with that is relative to the your professional title/role you are applying for. For more senior candidates, we highly recommend editing your resume to only include the most focused and most relevant experience. Overall, we recommend making your resume easy for a busy potential hiring manager to scan and decide if you are strong candidate for the role they are looking to hire for.

You can register and submit your resume here: http://www.the80twenty.com/submit-your-resume

Or you can simply apply for a job and you will be prompted to create an account automatically through that process.

The secret to switching industry is to master the art of describing transferable skills. Prepare to make a lot of custom resumes and cover letters where you can tailor the content of your experience to areas that are pertinent of the new role / industry. Include a cover letter that also provides context of why you want to change industries and how your background will provide a strong foundation of skills to handle the position you are applying for.
