#59 - Crafting Relevant Resumes
Adam Karpiak
My resumes and job search strategies get people hired. Go to KarpiakConsulting.com for my services! Looking for a job sucks. I make it suck less.
This week I'm talking about how to craft a resume specific to your situation, including:
Also for Premium Subscribers, I'm talking about:
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!
And if you find any value at all in the information I put out, I'd really appreciate it if you show this issue's sponsor, 1440, some love, and click their ad! If you're a free subscriber, a click costs $0 and it only takes a second of your time to support the newsletter's time, cost, and effort. Thanks!
Jobseekers, have a great rest of your week, and good luck with those applications!
-Adam
PS!! If you're enjoying the newsletter, let people know! Forward it, post it on social, tag me, whatever...the bigger the discussion, the better! The idea is to help as many people as possible!
