Resume Writing · Creating A 21st Century Resume

When faced with the challenge of writing a resume (or updating your current resume) sometimes you encounter a struggle.

It is not an easy task to write a 1-2 page synopsis of your combined skill set, education and other talents.

The purpose of your resume is to very quickly capture the attention and interest of the hiring manager, or other human resource personal; with the goal of passing the initial screening and securing the first round interview.

This course is not a course on cutting and pasting your attributes into a templated resume.

This course is designed to stimulate your thinking.

This course is designed to assist you in viewing your skill set, education and other talents, in an entirely new way.

The world has changed.

And continues to do so...

You must be creative with your ability to communicate who you are, in a limited amount of space with just the right words, that will produce that first, second and third glance.

The goal is to keep your resume at the top of the pile; thus, earning your place on the short list for a potential telephone or face-to-face interview.

Preparation is key.

Putting it all together in a compelling format is essential.

You are not a template.

Thus, your resume should not be a template.

Your resume should be an original; with all of the unqiue elements that only you can bring to the position and the organization.

In this course we'll cover the basics.

Then we will pivot to adjust your mindset a bit, as you begin to layer the components of your new or established career, on paper.

The goal never ceases to be; to present a resume that outshines your competitors.

Your resume is your "elevator pitch" so to speak; it is your introduction at-first-glance.

Your talents, your education, your technical and non-technical skills, your creative side, your uniqueness...

This course will help you identify those elements and present them in a compelling and  creative presentation.
