Crafting Relevant Resumes

#59 Bonus Weekend Edition

Welcome to the Bonus Weekend Edition!

Every weekend, we offer a Bonus Edition of the current week's newsletter, pulling an additional subscriber question from the Premium archives and adding it to the current issue of the newsletter!

This week's bonus question discusses what to do if your job title doesn't accurately reflect what you do, and you feel the disconnect is hurting your job search.

The bonus editions are only available on the weekends and will be archived on Mondays, so take advantage of the additional information and check it out now :) https://www.jobseekingishard.com/p/59-bonus-weekend-edition

Want more Premium content, including top career tips emailed directly to your inbox, as well as access to all 58 previous issues? Consider signing up for the Premium subscription!


The new Jobseeking is Hard is out now!

Check out issue #59 here - https://www.jobseekingishard.com/p/59-crafting-relevant-resumes

This week I'm talking about how to craft a resume specific to your situation, including:

  • How to frame your resume when your experience is a mix of consulting and FT work. (Premium Subscribers! I’ll give you a few tips on framing your consulting work so the reader focuses on your experience and value, not the number or duration of your assignments!)
  • How to focus your resume when pursuing remote work. (For Premium Subscribers, I’ll give you a tip to help be considered for remote roles.)

Also for Premium Subscribers, I'm talking about:

  • How to create a resume that speaks to a job posting with specific requests.

Don't forget about the Stupid Interview Questions (let's discuss the ethics of murder, shall we?), and a jobseeking horror story about a hiring manager who may or may not be omniscient.

Maybe it'll help you land your next job like this person!

I wanted to share my thanks and appreciation for your newsletter. I started a new job with a 10k yearly salary increase, full benefits and fully remote. This would not have happened without your knowledge. Thanks again and all the best for 2024!

Jobseekers, have a great rest of your week, and good luck with those applications!

-Adam

Re. the question from the contractor: for short tenures on my CV, especially when there's a gap after, I always note the reason in brackets after the dates of employment. eg. [title, employer, dates] (laid off - contract terminated early), (contract), (laid off), etc. Don't give recruiters the chance to make assumptions that you're a job hopper or were fired.

Great insights! Since we know the job search in this market can be demoralizing, especially around the holidays. It is very important for job searching to have a useful tool! F1 Hire—this tool is a lifesaver for international students seeking H1B jobs, providing current H1B history, salary data, E-verify history, and sponsorship availability analysis and the AI resume matching. Highly recommended. Adam Karpiak
