The Resume That Replenished The Hearts of All

My son plays minecraft. That means I do, too, as a dad.

And that means I know that the best healing item in minecrat is an apple surrounded by 8 blocks of gold. 

Now put that resume on a crafting table. What's the best it can become?

The best resume is the one one that wins hearts, not passes ATS screens. And those hearts are won in interview rooms and on zoom screens by how the experience is communcated. 

So we start witht the end goal in mind. We need the equivalent resume sounded by gold blocks. 

Starting with the end goal in mind

When we start with the goal of offers in mind. We immediately zoom in  on results, not skills. Experienced professionals and executives know this. New job seekers need to be told it's all about results and not about skills. 

This has a large impact on how we construct the resume. It means we need a resume built on results.

And when we've got a resume with every bullet point speaking to results, that means we've got the resume that replenishes every interviewer's ear. 

It's so refreshing to hear from a job hunter who is focused on results, and weaves in some details about their skills as part of that. 

I don't just have to hear about skills and wonder if they're going to be interested in getting me results. 

Feeling replenished! 

For the next resume, consider the purpose: Is it to get an interview or are you interested in getting an offer? 

If you said offer, then you are in luck! In the #StuartResumeTM we focus on the end goal in mind, and built the winning of offers into the fabric of the resume. 

Exactly How Do We Accomplish This? 

We'll first work on crafting bullet points using the "[result] by...[action taken]" format and I will work with you to ensure your bullet points are in amazing shape. 

Here in BLUE, I share prompts to turn really terrible bullet points into results-oriented ones. We even have a name for them. They're no longer "bullet points". They're "accomplishment statements". 

Then, with our bullet points transformed into accomplishment statements, I work with you to build out the stories you'll tell behind the accomplishment, using the STAR format of course. That's the format that works best: 

So, let me pose the question to you: are you ready to win hearts with your resume and get a great offer? Then grab this training before I take it offline (or mess up the url link!). 

Believe. Do. Become!
