Today we did our epic resume lesson. What you should have taken away from it was this:
- Competition is in everything
- Your resume goes up against 100's if not thousands of others
- Each point on your resume that relates to the job is like a weapon you bring to the table
- It is like a Battle Royale between you and everyone else. Do not bring a knife to a gun fight.
- Pokemon! Collect all those job related experiences!
- If you don't have experience, go get some. Volunteer. Network. Do not bring a fist to the fight!
- HR interviewing you is different than an owner of a company
- Make a custom resume for EACH job you apply to
- You can rearrange your resume order to bring your strongest points first!
- You can still get a job based on weird factors
Please read this epic comic series that puts the entire job hunt process in an amazing perspective:
