Laser-focus your resume or CV on what recruiters want to see

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to resumes and CVs. Everyone’s career path is a little different, so naturally their resumes are different as well. The key to standing out today is understanding what elements of the modern resume are best used to leverage your particular work history, career path, and industry. Landing an interview in the face of fierce competition requires a resume that does a better job of showing potential employers you are the candidate they should spend their time interviewing than those you are competing against – something this course will teach you to do.

Each year the game changes, and your resume needs to change with it. This deep dive into your resume will leave no stone uncovered as it provides perspectives, tips, and examples of the most effective way to stand out from even the fiercest competition.

“The first lesson Clark taught me, and probably one of the most important, was how to put myself in the recruiter’s shoes.” – Martín Alexanco
