speaking to the pain & not apologizing w/jean leggett who is an amazing coach/speaker/resume writer
guest: jean leggett, career coach, speaker, and resume writer
- build your resume around the hiring manager's pain points by pulling language straight from the job posting
- group your resume into clear pillars like validation, impact, and people skills instead of a plain chronological list
- use a cover letter to personalize your pitch since it probably won't win the job but can win you an interview
- prep for interviews by reading each resume bullet aloud and making sure you can explain the story behind it
- stop apologizing for your achievements on a resume, this is the one place you're supposed to brag
