Course overview
Hiring managers look at 100's of candidates each day. Yes, you CAN stand out ...
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.
For job seekers and proactive professionals from any industry or career stage, who are:
01
Tired of applying to hundreds of jobs
You're playing the numbers game, but not getting interviews or offers. You want to stop this cycle!
02
Recovering Perfectionists
You're sick of constantly re-doing your resume & LinkedIn profile, but not getting the results you want.
03
Ready for unexpected opportunities
You want your materials ready to go in case a dream job came your way so you can apply the same day.
Be seen as a high-value candidate by:
Writing & designing a winning resume that doesn't end up in a black hole
Take the guesswork out of creating your resume and learn how to write about your skills and experience so you can:
- Get through the ATS, and not get stuck in a black hole
- Make it past the initial screening by a junior HR person
- Stand out to hiring managers before your interviews
Confidently articulating your skills so you're more successful in job interviews
Instead of dreading interviews, you'll be able to clearly talk with interviewers about your past skills and experience. By writing a solid resume, you'll have the content needed to help you answer questions about details of your past roles, contributions, and successes.
Increase the odds of more interviews without applying to hundreds of jobs
Many candidates believe they aren't qualified enough or they need more experience. The truth is that most candidates undersell themselves. With a top-shelf resume, you will be perceived as a high-value hire and get more interviews and offers faster.
