#resumes

So every 3 months I redo my resume. I've been doing it for close to 15 years (I have copies of my resumes from *high school*).

And, well...

I just realized my resume hadn't landed me a single job.

Ever.

Papa John's? Paper form. Working for politicians? Referral. Non-profits? Referral. Current gig? I was recruited!

Do... do resumes work? Like, I've been giving advice to folks on careers (once in a while), but, well, do resumes actually get folks jobs? #Careers #Resumes

I don't know who needs to hear this but DO NOT submit the standard USAJOBS form resume. No hiring manager wants to be forced to glean nuggets out of that 5-10 pages of wall-of-text trash. Make a clean, neat, targeted, edited, BRIEF 2-page resume and upload that to your job applications. Get help if you need help. Ensure target keywords are in it. Don't include paragraph-long discussions of jobs that have no applicability.
