Thanks to everyone who checked out my new Instagram account that I launched last week!
I'm getting great feedback and appreciate all the comments and DMs. More than a few of you have expressed thanks for moving to a platform where they can like/comment on my content without their company seeing it ??
I’m using it to share all job search memes and bad job postings that everyone always sends me. If you find a job posting with a ridiculous requirement or a meme that makes you laugh/cry, send it along for me to post!

SHAMELESS PLUG
If your job search needs a little more help, Karpiak Consulting offers resume and LinkedIn services, as well as job search strategy coaching.
Who knows…maybe you’ll actually look forward to working on your resume, like this person???♂?
This person has AMAZING experience…but a broad background. They didn’t know to focus on the successes that matter. Their resume was based on their overall experience, not the roles they wanted to target.
Sure, you can apply for any job. But by focusing the resume on the aspects you enjoy doing, it’s easier for the company to see your relevance to the jobs you actually want.
You want to speak to the job posting, not your overall experience. Recruiters are looking for specialists that match job descriptions, not generalists that can do the job.
Not sure how to match up your experience to the jobs you’re targeting? We can show you how your resume is being evaluated for the roles you want :)
