Do you want to make your resume & LinkedIn profile better to get hired faster – but you are not sure how? Are you struggling with your resume & LinkedIn profile to make it the best representation of you, so you can stand out among the other candidates?
Quick stats:
- On average, most job openings attract 250 resumes. Of those resumes, 4 to 6 candidates will get called for an interview. Only 1 candidate will get the job.
- Recruiters take an average of 6 seconds to scan a resume.
- 87% of recruiters use LinkedIn to check candidates.
Resume, Cover Letter, & LinkedIn Profile – these are the 3 most commonly used job search tools. Join us as we carefully dissect every section of each job search tool resulting in you achieving maximum optimization.
For resumes, we will focus on what major sections to include on your resume (contact information, objective statement/profile/summary, work experience, skills) as well as additional sections (project experience, volunteer work), what to include in each section helping you to craft a resume that will significantly increase calls from recruiters, what not to include on your resume to repel recruiters, how to arrange each section to create a compelling professional story, and how to make your resume ATS compliant resulting in your resume being viewed by recruiters.
For cover letters, we will concentrate on the major sections (opening, body, and closing), what to include in each section to show recruiters that you are the best candidate to fill that open position. Our expert tips and tricks will assist you in composing an outstanding cover letter that will catch recruiters’ attention.
For LinkedIn profiles, we will direct our attention to the major sections (headliner, about, experience, recommendations, interests) and what to include in each section to create a top-notch professional profile that will spark recruiters’ interest along with encourage connection requests from others in your industry.
At the end of this class, you will have a thorough understanding of how your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile can showcase your skills as well as experience/expertise for your career level.
Sign up and bring your resume along with all of your questions!
