Engaged Pursuit: Your Story. Your Career.

If you're like most professionals, the first thing you think about when making a potential shift w/ your career is "How am I going to update my resume??"  Well, if you're like most professionals, you THINK about this, but don't actually DO much to change your resume's current content.

Am I right??

Well, that's a big no-no!  Updating your resume to tell your Professional Story in a different way is crucial if you are looking to make a big professional change. Recruiters and Hiring Managers don't know where you want to go (or why), so the resume is one way to TELL them what you're looking to accomplish in this new world and why you'd make a great fit for their organization.  

This is tough work. It's a ton of art and a little science too.

In this latest edition of The Engaged Pursuit Podcast, founder Tom Perry highlights his Top 5 tricks for updating your resume (and Linked In) if you're looking for a big professional pivot in 2021. From foundational structure to best practices around what (and where) to update, he's got you covered!

Next week Tom talks about how to talk about yourself in a new, more compelling way if you're searching for a new gig in 2021.  Our focus on how to manage individual change in 2021 continues!

It's a fact: 2021 is all about CHANGE.  

Change in how we work. Change in how we interact with others. Change in priorities. Change in what you're doing??

Many professionals are asking themselves a simple question - Is it time for me to make a big change professionally?  

For those who answer yes, the usual path is typical for a "Type-A" person: Get your resume updated, tweak Linked In, and apply apply apply apply apply apply.  Shaking your head in agreement?  Thought so...

There's a better way to ensure success if you know change is needed for your professional experience - start with the foundational elements (way upstream) to help define where you're going downstream.  But this is often times easier said-than-done (and it's a lot of introspective work).

In this latest edition of the Engaged Pursuit Podcast, Founder Tom Perry highlights his 5 best practices to make sure you're focusing on the right foundational elements even before you start to hit apply (or update or resume or tweak Linked In).  Stay tuned throughout the month of February for additional tips/tricks to make sure you're navigating your change experience successfully!
