Description

Your resume should tell the story of your impact—not just list your responsibilities. In this episode, I break down how to make your resume stand out by focusing on what you’ve actually achieved. I introduce a simple yet powerful framework—activities, outcomes, and impact—to help you articulate your contributions in a way that gets noticed.

I also dive into why it’s so important to align your resume with where you want to go in your career. Plus, I share real-life examples and why leadership and community involvement deserve a spot on your resume.

Tune in to hear: 

  • What most people get wrong about resumes

  • Why thinking about your desired next step is crucial before you start updating your resume

  • What questions you can ask yourself to best showcase the impact you’ve had on your teams
