Resumes. Many of us groan and give a little eye roll when we hear the word. Hard skills, soft skills, skill set, one page, too many pages, too wordy, not enough detail…it is enough to make the sane go mad. We hate writing them, but we love them in helping us to get our foot in the door.
In this episode, Donna and Jay bring in guest host Alisha Brown, a Career Development Consultant, to get into the weeds and breakdown resumes. Alisha touches on various types of resumes, their importance and how to adjust resumes to suit the job. She also dives into hard skills versus soft skills and why it is important to understand your soft skills to open up more career opportunities.
