Welcome to my first Workshop Week!

Since the Elevate Your 8 Philosophy covers your workday, then I think it’s time we started talking about the main tool you need to get the job that aligns with your values and talents.

The Resume.

Many people know how to create one, but very few people actually know how to format a resume so it elevates your skills, talents, and career highlights.

I’ve been in the workforce for more than 30 years; and since switching to the resume format that I’m going to teach you in this series, I have NEVER had a failed job search.  And I’ve ALWAYS been invited to interview.  

The key to a solid, functional resume is completely understanding where you’ve been and how to represent what you can do.  Potential employers want to know how you can contribute to their organization - they DON’T want to look at a laundry list of your job titles.

Lesson Four - Rank, Post, Format

So let’s recap:  you reflected on all your previous positions and wrote down the tasks and day to day duties of each one.  That was exhausting, I know.  Next, you took those tasks and grouped them into themes, then turning those themes into various skill sets.  And then you listed the most relevant tasks under the skill sets.  

With today’s lesson, you are going to rank your skill sets accordingly so the most important ones are listed towards the top and format your document so it fits the position for which you’re applying.

That’s right - you may very well be tweaking this document from time to time in order to best fit the representative duties for that position. 

So carve out some time this week to explore the entire workshop, and feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any questions about the workshop!
