Career Care Package #108 Cut through or CUT out – How to make a resume stand out

A wise woman once said – everything you write on a resume needs to earn it’s place there.

So we’re talking on #CareerCarePackage on how to make a resume stand out.

I totally agree with that wise woman.

Repeat after me.

A stand out resume has……

No fluff.

No exaggerated claims.

No weasel waffle.

That’s why today in an extra bonus session of #CareerCarePackage we’re welcoming Matt Warzel from MJW Careers.

Matt’s been writing resumes and providing job search coaching since 2003.

Matt comes to us all the way from North Carolina at the very special time of 10pm, Melbourne time which is 8am in Wilmington where Matt’s located.

We’re talking on how to make a great resume.

Now US resumes tend to be snappier and more to the point than Aussie resumes – and that’s exactly why we’re talking to Matt.

Because we figure in today’s world where recruiters will be inundated with the sheer volume of what’s coming in, you getting to the important point faster has to be a big bonus.

Here’s a taste of what we’re asking Matt:

• What are some of the most common resume mistakes he sees at this time?
• Different resume writers use different processes, and many people underestimate the work that is involved in creating a great resume, how does he go about developing a great resume?
• What does it really take to stand out with your resume?
• Keyword optimisation to beat applicant tracking systems is something people struggle with – what does this mean? How do you beat the bots?
• Do you need to tailor the resume to each role?
• What are Matt’s ideas on tapping into the hidden job market?
• Should we use a different resume to apply for a role, compared to a resume as a networking resume?

Here’s how you can join us.
