Welcome to my first podcast mini-series!

Since the Elevate Your 8 Philosophy covers your work day, 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.

In this quick course, I'm going to give you the tools you need to re-boot your resume.  So just give me a week, and your job search will be better for it!

In Lesson #2, you will be preparing to organize and synthesize all of these tasks into various themed groups that will lead into your skills and competencies.  

If you google "soft skills" or "job skills" you are going to find a wealth of sites giving you dozens and dozens of category options.  Zety.com has a really good one. So, using the example from the previous episode, that Administrative Assistant might categorize her tasks into things like Event Planning, Administrative Support, and Customer Service.  My resume includes categories like Management, Supervision, Fiscal Management/Budgeting, Events, Conferences, Marketing and Communications, and Teaching/Presenting.
