Posts in Resume Writing
a very useful exercise

“This is really helpful for me. I haven’t thought about the work I’ve done this perspective, with the specific purpose of thinking who my potential employers are and what I want to convey to them. And also what a job interview might look like, and how I can use the résumé to lead the interview where I want. This is a very useful exercise.”

This is spectacular.

“You’ve done a beautiful job.​ My reaction was that it was really great. To be honest, I was daunted with the idea of doing a résumé because I haven’t done one in so long. I’ve been practicing law for more than 25 years in lots of different jobs and I struggled with even how to organize it. This is a really smart way to organize my work. I like it. I like the structure and the language. It’s not overwrought, like some one trying to use a thesaurus. This is spectacular. I really do mean it.”

I found my forever job

Two year update: “Fully employed and more importantly fully happy with my position and career. I am now the Assistant Chief Counsel for [healthcare group] at the [state health and human services agency].

damn, that's me

“I feel like all these years, I’ve been apologetic for nothing. I was so self-conscious about my experience because I was so focused on all the things I haven’t done, but now I realize I actually *have* done a lot. This has been an amazing process. Before, I wouldn’t have hired me. Now, the world and my work became alive again in my head. As I saw the new résumé, I was like “damn, that's me.’”

perspective

“I lose perspective. It’s not until we had this discussion that I’ve realized what my résumé’s missing​. It’s been so beneficial to hear your questions and see how you’re connecting my answers into my résumé. It all makes a lot of sense.​ Just watching do this makes me wonder what the heck I was thinking before.”
