ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
If you have not updated your resume in several years, the first step is not adding your latest position to the document you already have. Before changing anything, you need to know what the resume is supposed to help you do next.
In this solo episode, Julia Toothacre explains what has changed about resumes and hiring, what has remained largely the same, and how experienced professionals should approach their resume differently depending on whether they want a lateral move, advancement, a career change, or a step back from leadership.
Julia also addresses common questions about applicant tracking systems, resume length, how far back your experience should go, tailoring resumes, LinkedIn, accomplishments, and using AI without producing generic content. The central principle throughout the episode is that a resume is a marketing document. It should reflect where you are going, not preserve every detail of where you have been.
