And it's not as hard as you think!!! When recruiters and hiring managers are narrowing down hundreds of candidates they do not have time to read every word of your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, etc. The current job market is too competitive to put off updating your resume. You need to be ready to apply as soon as you see your ideal job. Standing out in your job search starts with strategically writing and designing your resume so recruiters and hiring managers instantly see why they should interview you ... even if they're only skimming and scanning your materials. Whether you're currently job searching or happily employed, you need an up-to-date resume that articulates your skills and experience. I get it, you hate updating your resume ... so let's do it together. Now, I can't literally make you do it, and I won't do it for you! But if you stick with me, at the end of 1-weeks, you'll finally have a resume that articulates your skills and value so you can stand out ...ultimately leading to more job interviews and job offers.&nbsp;
