You Cannot Write a Resume About a Stranger

Send us Fan MailSeason 8 starts today, and I want to start it with a confession.I have spent almost twelve years deciding whether other people's resumes were worth ten more seconds. And there was a stretch of my own career where, if you had asked me what I actually did all day, I would have read you my job description. Out loud. Like that was an answer.It was not an answer. It was a costume.This season is about the stuff nobody covers, because everybody is busy teaching execution. How to format. How to answer. How to negotiate. All of that is fine. All of that assumes you already know your own facts.You do not. Almost nobody does. That is not an insult, it is a hiring manager telling you what she sees.Episode one is the pre-work before the resume.In this episode:- The reason a resume rewrite does not fix a resume problem- THE INTAKE: the four things you gather before you open the document, and why writing without them is why it took you nine drafts- THE DUTY / DEED SPLIT: how to tell what you were assigned from what you actually did, and which one gets you hired- The candidate with a fifteen year career whose resume was a job posting I wrote in 2021- Whether eleven years at one company really means you "have nothing to put on there" (it does not, and I will prove it)- The Receipts Doc, and the twenty minutes a month that make every future job search shorterThe whole month in one sentence: you cannot write a resume about a stranger, and right now, you are the stranger.Free consult, no pitch, no pressure: https://www.careerbloomsolutions.com/free-consultationsMonthly coaching plans: https://www.careerbloomsolutions.com/monthlyplanCome hang out:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lonestarflowerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lonestarflower_careerbestie/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lonestarflower/reelsYour business, your career, in full bloom.
