When you try to sell your experience in your?resume?and during interviews, it?slows?down your search, prevents you from advancing in the hiring process, and gets you rejected when you're qualified.
So why do most job seekers try to sell their experience? It's what has been ingrained into almost every job seeker's head, starting with their college placement office, it's what friends/mentors have were taught, it's how most career coaches/authors are trained to advise you, and finally outplacement firms and professional?resume?writers.
By now, this has become a habit, reinforced by continued advice from many sources.
Only problem is that employers don't care about your experience, because hiring managers only hire based on experience when they don't have other options.
Sure they ask about it in job requirements to weed out the unqualified, but those are just minimum requirements, and many candidates meet them. So when you try to sell your experience, you sell yourself as someone who just barely meets qualifications ... a bottom of the pack candidate, who appears average to employers.
What really interests hiring managers and sets you apart?
What sets you apart is what you can do with that experience, how can you use that experience to solve the hiring manager's problems and how you can improve the performance of their teams, departments and companies.

And since so few job seekers sell themselves based on how they can solve hiring manager problems with their experience in?resumes?and during interviews, it gives you a big advantage when you can do this well.
This massive change in how you present yourself can accelerate your job search if you're a CEO, executive, manager, or staff.
You'd probably already be doing this if someone taught you how to change your?resume?and interviews, so that you stop selling your experience. Since no one has, you keep on doing more of the things that don't work, wondering why you're not landing interviews when your're qualified or converting them into job offers.
But this is just one way to?accelerate?your job search ... why not let me show you many ways?
Let me teach you how you can change your resume and job search strategy so you can accelerate your job search. I'll show you how to gain a huge advantage over your competition, even if you're unemployed or age 40+, so you can find your next job fast.
I help people solve the most difficult job search problems, including job search acceleration, getting past ATSs, ageism, remote positions, product/job function/career/industry/ geographic change, unemployment, "bouncy" recent career path, job search turnaround, seeking raise/promotion, industry in decline/consolidation, long term gaps, family leave, or other of the most challenging job search issues.
