Have you ever felt frustrated because you have not received responses to the résumés you have recently submitted? It is normal to feel this way - but it’s also normal for job seekers to, 1. respond to postings that are not congruent with their current career history or skills set, 2. to implement only one or two résumé marketing strategies, or 3. to expect results on a minimum number of résumé submissions. In order to find the best opportunities for the next step in your career journey, it’s important to think outside-the-box a little more than your closest competitor, to dig-in and develop thoughtful applications to the job postings you are most excited about and confident you could excel in - and to cast your net much wider than you might think is necessary! 📖 💪 #jobsearch #jobsearchhelp #careertransition #careerhelp #careercoach #careerchange #careermoves #careergrowth #careerbook #nonfictionbooks #canadianauthor #TheEmpoweredJobSeeker

🚅 Crafting Your Dream Career Story✨ As I sit down with clients to craft their resumes, I'm reminded that this isn't just about listing jobs - it's about telling their professional story. Your resume is a narrative of growth, perseverance, and triumph. It's the story of how you've evolved, what you've achieved, and where you're headed. 🚅 So, what makes a compelling story? ✨ A clear protagonist (you!): Define your unique value proposition. ✨ A plot of progression: Showcase your skills and experiences. ✨ Key accomplishments: Quantify your successes. ✨ A vision for the future: Tailor your story to your dream role. 🚅 When crafting your resume, remember: ✨ Every word counts: Use clear, concise language. ✨ Numbers tell tales: Quantify your achievements. ✨ Transferable skills shine: Highlight what makes you versatile. Your resume is more than paper or pixels - it's your ticket to unlocking new opportunities. #ResumeWriting #CareerStory #ProfessionalDevelopment #JobSearch #CareerGrowth #ResumeTips How's this? I aimed for a more narrative and conversational tone!

One valuable piece of career advice I'd offer my younger self is to regularly update your resume at least once a year. It's not about job applications. This exercise becomes a powerful self-reflection tool. Why? It's More Than Annual Reviews: · Annual reviews are valuable, but they often focus on a manager's perspective within the company structure. · Updating your resume forces YOU to consider your accomplishments and impact from YOUR role's and industry's lens. · It compels you to condense achievements into impactful statements, like a professional tweet, for readers unfamiliar with your work. What is the Benefit you ask? Taking the time to update your resume forces you to think bigger. You'll consider your role, industry trends, and the impact you've made. It's like summarizing your achievements in a concise, impactful way – a skill crucial for any professional. Here's the bonus: you might be surprised by the positive impact you've forgotten about! And on the flip side, you'll also identify areas where your efforts might not be driving growth. If you not done it yet, take some time next week to have your resume updated to reflect your journey till Dec'23 and revisit this post in Jan'25 😀 #CareerAdvice #ReflectAndGrow #CareerTips #ResumeUpdate #CareerReflection #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalJourney #CareerProgression #SelfReflection #CareerSuccess #CareerStrategy #CareerManagement #CareerPlanning

Your resume is more than just a list of jobs—it's a snapshot of your career journey. 🛤️ A good resume doesn't just highlight your skills and experience; it tells a story of who you are as a professional. Every role, project, and accomplishment contributes to the bigger picture. So, take a step back and ask yourself: What’s the throughline that connects the dots between roles? What types of projects am I consistently asked to take on? What problems do I consistently solve? What am I most proud of? What's the legacy I want to have? What have I learned, and how have I grown along the way? A resume should be a reflection of you—not just a laundry list of tasks. It's your personal brand in one document. Make it count. #ResumeTips #PersonalBranding #CareerGrowth #TheJobGirl
