Episode 77 of The Resume Room tackles a sensitive but common scenario: applying for a new job after leaving your previous one under a cloud — a firing, a resignation under pressure, or a mutual breakup that wasn't really mutual. Lucas and Luna walk through how to frame that departure on your resume and in interviews without lying or inviting red flags. They use the specific case of a marketing manager who was let go after a disagreement with a CMO about campaign strategy, and show how to reframe the narrative around accomplishments rather than conflict. The episode covers when to use a functional instead of chronological format, how to handle references when your former boss won't vouch for you, and the exact wording to use in a cover letter to address the gap without groveling. They also discuss the one thing you should never put in the 'reason for leaving' field on an application. #ResumeWriting #JobSearch #CareerAdvice #BadTerms #Fired #Resignation #CoverLetter #InterviewTips #EmploymentGap #FunctionalResume #ReferenceCheck #CareerPivot #JobApplication #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #JobSearchStrategy #ExitStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
