If you're anything like me, you know tomorrow is #budget day in #Canada. A few of the details Dan shares in his post about his "behind-the-scenes" look at what goes into Budget day, can be applied to your resume and I could not let the opportunity go by without pointing out some of the similarities of having your resume screened by employers. --- "Much to the writers’ dismay, the [reporters] usually flip right past the beautifully written and carefully crafted narrative in the introduction, and dive right into the tables at the back." --- Recruiters and hiring managers know what they want to see. And while you may have spent hours coming up with perfectly crafted words, your audience is looking for quantifiable data that proves you can do what you say. --- "Of course, the real story of the budget is never obvious on Budget Day. It is buried in the pages everyone flipped through to get to the tables in the annex. --- No one gets to "know" someone from a quick viewing or reading of their resume. At best you have an inkling of the person, but until you meet them in person (often via interview) you don't get their real story and you certainly aren't seeing the whole picture. --- "Budgets are more than just financial documents; they are narratives that define governments’ priorities and ideologies. Whether dubbed as the first ‘feminist’ budget or championing other causes, budgets reflect the values and aspirations of the country. Crafted with precision, every word is a piece of a puzzle, contributing to the overarching narrative of governance." --- Like Dan believes budgets are more than just financial documents - I believe resumes are more than the history of your career. They tell your story, demonstrate your values and interests and express to others your alignment and shared interests with the organizations where you most want to work. Finally, Dan writes "The budget...is the culmination of the public service’s [efforts...It] is inherently complicated, messy, and beautiful." --- So well written - and accurate about your career messaging as well. Your resume is the culmination of all your hard work at school, work, at home, in the community, as a human being having a human experience. Happy Budget Day, Canada

Earlier this year the City of Brighton Budget & Performance Team brainstormed goals for the 2025-2026 budget process. Top in that discussion was a desire to better educate and engage residents to demistify the process and how their tax dollars are used. I am proud to say that today we launched a new video about how the City's budget works, on Saturday we will be engaging residents at Brighton Summerfest, and next week we will be launching a resident survey. These are first of what we hope to be many steps toward building public trust through our budget process. #localgovernment #localgov #publicengagement #publictrust https://lnkd.in/gubh8Z6m
