Resume Service

Can anyone here recommend (based on personal experience) a worthwhile service for revamping and updating my resume? Been at Citrix for so long I feel like I'm a bit out of the loop on current resume trends, tips and tricks. Thank you, friends.

It's not the end of the world. Get up and stop crying

I'm going to be very frank with everyone who lost their job; be an adult and move on. I don't work for Citrix, but I have been laid off before. Get on UC immediately, start writing that resume, and blast it to recruiters. I guarantee (unless you're... — read more

Still standing. Still my dream job.

I love Citrix. Always have. Been here over 10 years. I'm very sorry some of you lost your jobs. You'll land in your feet if you have drive and ambition - and you'll look back on this as a learning experience. Good luck to all of you.

Senior level people

From the people I know that were let go many were senior level and also many were long lived employees, many with extremely important internal roles. Some teams were only partially affect but losing those senior people will be a huge blow.

Why wonder when you can ask?

Because you don’t get a straight answer, that’s why! At least the share price hasn’t gone up and to the right so far.

If you are laid off you will be okay.

Get up and dust the Citrix ashes and move on. Study, get on the jobs boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, Dice. Not a lot of them because you will be burdened with multiple calls for the same job. If your spouse has medical insurance and you get cobra be... — read more

Impacted, but not disappointed

Citrix provided great work flexibility and compensation...but, way too much turnover in the leadership team, very ineffective HR (that's not unusual), and not a healthy environment for most... Beyond the above positives, it is telling when the best... — read more
