Does Your Resume Engage Your Readers?

Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83224648471
We will examine alternatives to designing the first third of your resume page including ways to (1) Announce your position of interest, (2) Become more relevant to requirements of the job posing, (3) Feature the strongest claims related to your effectiveness, (4) Explicitly share skills that qualify you based on the job postings, (5) Avoid sabotaging your chances by using a narrative paragraph near the beginning of your resume. And saving the best for last! You will learn to customize your resume to each job application by swapping the key words and phrases in and out to support your strengths for multiple job postings. We will demonstrate your options and show variations specific to industries, job roles, and seniority levels from entry-to-advanced. Bring questions, observations, and tips for other workshop participants, as well as topics you need help with to move ahead in your job search.
Let's inspire and strengthen each other with our insights. The themes that drive resume effectiveness include showing your strengths, emphasizing problems you can solve, and highlighting your potential to add value. You will learn to include challenges you have met and accomplishments that have achieved goals. Attendees typically raise questions about handling work gaps and transitioning to a new industry, new level, new job function, new degree/certification, and more.
