Dear Ms. Manciagli -- 

I recently watched the webinars that you conducted for JVS in Los Angeles and I'm nearly finished with your book. I'm a new resident to the West Coast and am using JVS and your advice to bump up my job search in LA. 

I've tried to connect with you on Linked In to ask you three questions based on the content you shared in the webinars.

My questions are:

Question 1. If your Linked In resume (or your offline resume) only go back 15 years max, can you still talk in interviews about work experience you've done prior to that if it seems especially applicable? Additionally, do 
skills and experiences that aren't on your resume belong on the job description matching sheet? I don't want to throw any surprises at anyone during an interview, but some of those earlier experiences made me who I am today.


Question 2. You recommended we have one recommendation per job on Linked In. In the company I worked for just before moving to LA, 
I had three different roles there over the course of 12 years thanks to promotions I earned. Would you suggest I garner recommendations for every job I had? Or should I stay focused only on recommendations for the highest level and most recent role I had there?


Question 3. I've been in the workplace for 25 years, but I don't want to date myself on Linked In. I'm open to only listing the most recent 10-15 years of my experiences, but for a job I performed 1996-2001, I have a really nice recommendation from my boss there. If I delete that job from my Linked In profile, the nice recommendation is also deleted, right? Is there any middle ground on keeping the nice things people say about you without tying them to a specific job?

I look forward to reading your insights about these questions. If I don't hear back from you by Mon., Nov. 2, I'll reach out to you again.



Thank you,

Kelly Olson
