I've been transitioning from my role at the United Nations to the private sector in the US, specifically in New York, and I'm currently applying for positions in project management, digital transformation, and strategy. I'm seeking feedback on my CV from those with experience in US hiring practices. My main experience comes from working at the UN across over 10 countries on diverse projects, including developing public sector strategies and collaborating with grassroots stakeholders on technology implementations. I've kept my resume concise and tailored it for different roles by including relevant internships and part-time work, depending on the position. I'm targeting junior to mid-level roles with salaries ranging from $90K to $130K. I did have a supervisory role at one point, but I lost that title due to a policy change within the organization. I'm particularly interested in feedback on the credibility of my impact statements—do they come off as genuine or typical UN jargon? Also, does having a single-employer background raise concerns for US hiring managers? Should I consider including my internships on the second page to mitigate any perceived gaps in my experience? I’d appreciate insights on whether my profile paragraph is engaging enough to encourage further reading, and if there are any specific reasons that might lead someone to overlook my application. I'm eager for US-based perspectives, as I know transitioning from the UN to the private sector can be challenging, and I want to ensure my resume effectively communicates my qualifications.
