Episode 01 - Top 4 FAQs About Résumé Writing
In the very first episode of The Branding in Five Podcast, I dive in and answer some frequently asked questions about résumés and résumé writing. There’s a world of difference between an average résumé and a résumé for executive leadership positions that command a six-figure salary. If your résumé doesn’t sell who you are, your impact, and your industry expertise, your chances of an interview in this climate is slim to none.
Listen in as I discuss how to write a résumé, whether you should tailor your résumé to the job, how long the ideal résumé is and why you should be on LinkedIn. At the end of the episode, I also cover the CAR method, which helps you to build your résumé so that it explains your track record of career achievements to a hiring manager.
