Resumes: Options to engage your reader

We will examine alternatives to designing the first third of your resume page including ways to (1) Announce your position of interest, (2) Become more relevant to requirements of the job posing, (3) Feature the strongest claims related to your effectiveness, (4) Explicitly share skills that qualify you based on the job postings, (5) Avoid sabotaging your chances by using a narrative paragraph near the beginning of your resume. And saving the best for last! You will learn to customize your resume to each job application by swapping the key words and phrases in and out to support your strengths for multiple job postings. We will demonstrate your options and show variations specific to industries, job roles, and seniority levels from entry-to-advanced. Bring questions, observations, and tips for other workshop participants, as well as topics you need help with to move ahead in your job search.
