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 and LinkedIn profile. 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 and LinkedIn profile 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 and LinkedIn profile 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 2-weeks you'll finally have a resume and LinkedIn profile that articulates your skills and value so you can stand out ...ultimately leading to more job interviews and job offers. 


🎁 BONUS: Everyone who enrolls in this cohort will be invited to a Career Strategy Session where I'll guide you through how to create a Career Roadmap™ so you can have a personalized plan for the rest of what you might need in your job search (eg. portfolio, interview prep, networking, etc)

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 top-shelf 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
Creating a magnetic LinkedIn profile that brings ideal roles and people to you

Learn subtle, little-known, and quick changes you can make to your LinkedIn to improve the chances you:



  • Show up in search to recruiters and hiring managers
  • Outshine other candidates by having an optimized profile
  • Deflect the wrong types of jobs and recruiters from coming
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 and LinkedIn profile, you will be perceived as a high-value hire and get more interviews and offers faster.

This stuff just works ...

        I buckled down to work on my draft resume and improve my LinkedIn profile ... and within hours, I started to get LinkedIn messages from recruiters about my dream roles. I've seriously gotten 8 recruiter inquiries in the past 48 hours!

        Within literally 2 days of redesigning my LinkedIn, I got several connection requests from other freelancers and a message from a recruiter about a 6-month contract Sr. UX Research opportunity. Thanks to Sarah Doody for this amazingly helpful information and experience!

        There is nothing out there that comes close to the quality and caliber of this course. I have connected with other professionals and resources in the past to help me with my resume, but they are nothing compared to this.

        This is a life-changing workshop for anyone who is looking for a job. Implementing Sarah's feedback not only get's my resume noticed in a sea of applications but it's also giving me a set of impressive talking points when I land an interview.

        This course is thorough, super efficient, and highly productive. Well worth the investment. I feel ecstatic about the new version of my resume and see a massive improvement. My favorite part about this course was The System. It is well thought out and works.

        I need to say Sarah Doody knows what she is talking about. After updating my LinkedIn profile yesterday, my engagement was -68%, and today it is up to +45%. I have talked to 5 recruiters and two interviews set up. Thank you!!

Senior UX Researcher
        This course completely changed how I think about my résumé and LinkedIn profile.  I learned enough in just the first few days to understand why my résumé (which I had been pretty proud of before the course) was actually kind of bad and how I could fix it.  I not only have a LinkedIn profile I feel good about, but my profile views are up 280%!

        I'm not kidding but minor tweaks to my resume like adding actionable words and percentages & statistics was a game changer! I literally feel like I cheated the system because I made myself sound cooler than I actually am.

UX Research Intern at ChaiOne
        After changing my Linkedin profile according to Sarah's tips, I got reached out by much better recruiters who actually know about UX. The jobs also align way better with what I'm looking for. Before I was contacted for odd jobs that didn't match my skills and experience.

        Going into this course, I wasn't sure if it would provide me with more value than Sarah's free YouTube content, but I decided to give it a shot since the price was within my budget and I've been engaging with Sarah's content for over a year. Now that I've completed the sprint, I can say with confidence that it was worth every penny.

        This course was incredibly helpful! I struggled the most with my resume work experience before this but now I've gained a lot of clarity. I liked the structure and how it offered general tips but also allowed us to ask more specific questions depending on our individual experiences.
