32 min - The Death of the Resume Template
Welcome back! Full-time career coach and host Erin Ahart explains why using resume templates can negatively impact your job search, and how to build a stand-out resume instead. Resume templates are dead, so here's why you should NEVER use them! (Unless they're ATS-friendly of course.)
We discuss:
- Common mistakes found in templates (Hint: most "pretty" online resume templates are created by graphic designers, not career coaches!)
- What makes a good resume
- My tips for creating a resume that ATSs (Applicant Tracking Systems) LOVE!
- Resources for finding sample resumes to reference online
