I get it. Talking about yourself is HARD! 

Articulating your experience and career aspirations on one piece of paper is both an art and a science. It can be challenging when you’re in your own head all.the.time. 

It’s especially tricky with a career change.   

Throughout my 15+ years as an HR leader, I can tell you first-hand that these stats are accurate; 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, you’ve done a great job at building relationships at your target companies (which I highly recommend) - then your resume will likely become an afterthought. 

But none the less, at some point, you will need your resume, 

So, today, I’m going to walk you through: 

• The goal of your resume 
• When it’s time to update your resume 
• Talk about the two main components I think about when helping others with their resumes: Design and Content 
• I’ll break down the major sections of your resume

Time to dive in!
