This is a quick compendium of my resume guide based on my approach to resumes – that they tell stories.
In crafting a good resume, you are telling a tale of your past. This tale tells of your ups and downs, triumphs, and ultimately your direction. Done right, it makes the job you’re seeking be the appropriate “next chapter” in your tale.
Humans work via stories, so being able to tell a good one is important any time – and on a job search, it’s what can land you the job.
- Part 1: How your resume tells a story.
- Part 2: Tell Your Story. How different kinds of resumes can be used to tell your story.
- Part 3: The Parts Of Your Story. How your resume comes together to tell your career story.
- Part 4: Tell Your Tale. Tell your story – in resume form – by breaking down your achievements.
- Part 5: Tie-ins. Tie your resume into your other job search tools.
