​​​​​​​​
Recruiters and hiring leaders will skim your resume for 6-ish seconds. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If it doesn’t make an impression, you will get passed over. Unless, of course, strategic relationship building is the focus of your job search (which I highly recommend) 😉

So, how do you make a lasting impression?

Today, I’m going to walk you through: 

+The goal of your resume 
+When it’s time to update your resume 
+The two main components I focus on when helping others with their resumes
+The major sections of your resume
+And then, we will wrap up with a handful of resources to help you stand out!

Key Takeaways From Today’s Episode

• The goal of your resume is to make it as easy as possible for the reader to know who you are, what you do, and what you’re looking for 
• The best time to update your resume is after you’re crystal clear on what you want to do next: the role, industry, and you’re top companies
