The Shift is Real
In one of our most recent online sessions, we discussed the troubling trends in the tech job market, especially in the technology leadership category (e.g., CTO, fCTO, Head of IT, etc.). In some instances, it can take up to 18 months to land the executive role.

So we put together a neat guide for you. And in that guide, we walk through the essential elements of every CV and explain the capital rule of job applications, regardless of the role’s seniority or even the type of job, industry, niche, or organization. We also use the most recent CTO job ad from Glassdoor to better explain the optimal resume strategy.
