Just read a great article from PeopleSoft Career: “Crafting the Perfect PeopleSoft Resume: Best Practices to Stand Out” A few key takeaways that resonated with me: ✅ Focus on accomplishments, not just responsibilities. ✅ Quantify results whenever possible. ✅ Highlight the specific PeopleSoft modules, tools, and versions you’ve worked with. ✅ Tailor your resume to the role instead of using a generic version for every opportunity. ✅ Make it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to quickly understand your value. In today’s market, a strong PeopleSoft resume isn’t just a career history—it’s a marketing document that should clearly communicate why you’re the right person for the role. Thanks to Derek Tomei and PeopleSoft Career for continuing to share practical career advice for the PeopleSoft community. lnkd.in/dB98bcEX :::

Derek has built something the PeopleSoft community has needed for a long time. A platform where PeopleSoft practitioners meet and talk about all things PeopleSoft. It's the place where experienced PeopleSoft professionals connect, share market intelligence, and prepare for what's next. It's also the place that only advertises PeopleSoft jobs. Derek is the driving force behind all of it. I've been involved as a beta tester for the website and the AI tools, and what stands out is how practical everything is. The AI prompts and resources are built for real PeopleSoft work, not generic AI advice repackaged for our industry. As a senior FSCM consultant, I've been able to use the AI tools to evaluate how AI can assist functional consultants in improving data quality and streamlining processes I've been doing manually for 20+ years. Derek takes feedback seriously. He listens, acts on it, and the platform gets better every week. His weekly PeopleSoft Insider newsletter consistently delivers market intelligence and career guidance we can't find anywhere else in the PeopleSoft ecosystem. Derek genuinely cares about the professionals in this community and it shows in everything he builds. I'm glad to be part of it.

I really appreciate the great information that PeopleSoftCareer provides.

I've found tremendous value in the PeopleSoft AI Hub. Unlike generic AI tools and prompts, the resources Derek has built are tailored specifically for PeopleSoft professionals. I've used them to accelerate the analysis of complex PeopleCode, Application Engine, SQR, SQL, and customization reviews while still relying on the expertise developed over two decades in the platform.

Thank you for creating and posting this - great resource!

I've worked with PeopleSoft for more than 20 years across multiple countries, industries, and large-scale implementations. What I learned recently is that deep expertise alone isn't enough if the market can't easily see and understand the value you bring. Derek helped me bridge that gap. Through his Career OS tools, newsletters, and community, I completely reworked how I positioned myself on LinkedIn. Instead of describing only my past experience, I learned how to connect that experience with where the PeopleSoft ecosystem is heading: AI-Code Assist, MCP Server, Natural Language Search, Customization Insights, and the broader PeopleTools roadmap. The results were noticeable. Recruiter outreach became significantly more consistent, and I was recently among the final candidates for a role that I likely would not have been considered for six months earlier. I've also found tremendous value in the PeopleSoft AI Hub. Unlike generic AI tools and prompts, the resources Derek has built are tailored specifically for PeopleSoft professionals. I've used them to accelerate the analysis of complex PeopleCode, Application Engine, SQR, SQL, and customization reviews while still relying on the expertise developed over two decades in the platform. What makes Derek different is that he understands both sides of the equation: the PeopleSoft technology itself and the realities of today's job market. He isn't repackaging generic career advice. He's building practical tools, content, and strategies specifically for the PeopleSoft community. If you're a PeopleSoft professional looking to stay relevant, improve your market visibility, and better understand where the platform is heading, I highly recommend following Derek and engaging with what he's building.

Your awesome content keeps a focus on the industry that I have literally dedicated my entire career on.    Thank you, Derek it's very much appreciated!

I have had the pleasure of both working side-by-side and reported directly to Derek for more than the past 12 years (not consecutively). We have worked together at both small and large fortune 500 hundred companies such as Tropical Shipping and Phillips Electronics (PACE). I consider Derek to be both a mentor and also a good friend. My first experience reporting to Derek was in 1997 at Philips PACE. At the time Derek was on the I/S team, but duties and expertise expanded beyond as he proved to be a leader in the HRIS and benefits field. Derek is an extremely knowledgeable I/S professional who’s dedication, sense of humor and compassion for people is something to be admired. Derek is extremely diverse not only in the PeopleSoft arena but also as an I/S professional. - Craig

Derek is a true innovator in the careers field. His websites are the best resource for professionals seeking PeopleSoft, SAP, and ERP positions, as well as employers seeking candidates. We began our business relationship approximately five years ago and he has always been a pleasure to work with (I have recommended his websites to several of my clients), as have his candidates seeking positions for whom I have written resumes. I highly recommend Derek as the "go to" person for these specialized fields.
