If you’ve been sending out resumes and hearing nothing back - this episode is for you.
I’m joined by Morgan Sanner, former recruiter and resume expert educating 400k+ people online, to break down exactly how to build a resume that actually gets you hired - even in one of the toughest job markets we’ve seen in years.
We talk about what recruiters really look for, the biggest resume mistakes people keep making, and how to layoff-proof your career before you actually need to.
Whether you’re actively job hunting or just want to stay ready in case things change - this episode is a must-listen.
