[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]im a senior director at a fortune 500, nonHSPY undergrad and mba. I guess Im just wondering why I can get to HR levels but not make it through. I havent gotten feedback about virtual presence but it might be something for me to look into. [/quote]

Why can’t you move go VP at your own company?

Have you only been at your current company a short time?  
Does your resume read “job hopper” 
What are your actual accomplishments?

There’s a lot of back door references too.  What would people actually say about you?  How do you treat people?  Do you go above and beyond?  Do you leave out at 5 PM on the dot?  How do people talk about you when you aren’t in the room?

If I’m hiring especially for executive or senior level roles I want someone who is going to stay and not try and jump ship to a higher level role. I’m looking at resumes where people stay a minimum of 3 years but most likely want candidates a minimum of 4-5 years so I need to see that on their resume.

I see a lot of job hopping for entry and middle manager roles but if I see that frequently or especially with senior roles I won’t interview you.  I don’t expect you to stay for life but I want actual accomplishments on the role and that doesn’t happen unless you stay years. 
It isn’t worth my time to hire someone otherwise.

I would either stay where you are and try to move up there or stay for another year and then apply for VP.  Otherwise 
make a lateral move.  Most VP roles they hire internally or want someone with that experience.

Our VPs are internal or through a merger.[/quote]
