Starting Out?
Everyone starts somewhere. Even CEOs begin with a first resume, a nerve-wracking interview, and a first job.
And while there might be a million things more exciting than staring at that intimidating blank page (like finally scheduling that appointment you've been putting off), unfortunately, your resume won't write itself.
Creating your first resume (or a resume for a career transition) is the stepping stone to unlocking new opportunities. Learn how easy it can be to start and make an unforgettable first impression below.

1yCreating your first resume is HARD. I definitely recommend tapping into your college/university's career services center if that's an option. (Shoutout to Kelly Cleary for her help way back when!) So glad platforms like Teal exist now! ✨

1yMy first resume was... BAD. I wish there had been tools and resources like Teal to help craft and organize. Just with the ability to re-order sections easily and quickly add or remove bullet points makes tailoring resumes so much easier.
