The year was 2017. I had been a few years out of college, and I had just over a year ago decided to take the leap to travel the world and then go full force on the very business that my brother and I started. I had decided to commit to my dream and where my gifts lied.

The purpose of this episode is to inspire you and let you know that change is possible even if it involves a transition job. Today’s purpose is to help you come out on top -- and even enjoy yourself while doing it.

Today, I’m going to tell you what my actual resume writing process was back when I used to write resumes for my company. You’d probably love to listen to this if you’re a resume writer, recruiter, or even a hard working DIY job seeker who wants an awesome resume to land more interviews. 

Back when our company was much smaller, I used to write a good amount of the resumes that we sold. We have since then grown, but I’m going to flashback an share my process.
