Ridiculously Awesome Resume Kit
Ridiculously Awesome Resume Kit
Is your resume ridiculously awesome? Does it make it easy for your target employer to quickly connect the dots between their “Here’s what we need” and your “Here’s what YOU can walk through our doors and deliver”?
Guys, here’s the thing: No one is going to deduce how or why you make sense for the job you want next. They won’t do this for a lot of reasons, but here’s the most important one:
It’s not the person on the receiving end of your resume’s job to make you make sense for any given role.
It’s yours.
You’ve got to make it “smack-in-the-forehead” obvious how and why you’re a great fit for the types of roles you’re pursuing.
You’ve also got to satisfy every reviewer of your resume – the resume scanning software (that has the power to rule you right out of the race if it doesn’t understand your background), the HR person (who’s going to breeze through that resume to see if you’re qualified enough to move forward in the process, and your future boss.
Don’t panic. Get the Ridiculously Awesome Resume Kit.
We’ll walk you through the same proven process our team has used to develop hundreds and hundreds of resumes on behalf of our clients. We’ll also answer the resume questions we hear most often, and share sample resumes and templates.
And best of all? We’ll do it in a way that isn’t just completely survivable (it is, promise), but mayyybe even a little bit enjoyable. That’s right: enjoyable.
