🌟THREAD—Here are all the things that you should be changing/tweaking on your resume every time you apply to a new job.

(meaning if you apply to 17 positions, you should have 17 variations of the master copy of your resume):

1. The title of the position

If you are applying to a job where the title on the job description is “Media Assistant” you need to put the title “Media Assistant” on your resume.

Then, if you see a role for a Media Specialist that you also like… Change the title again!

The title is also going to be reiterated in the Professional Profile Statement so you must change it in two places.

Once in the actual title at the top of the page and again for the second time in the Professional Profile Statement.

Example below:

2. The years of experience

You’re going to say directly in your Professional Profile Statement that you have the exact years of experience that the job post is calling for.

They are describing who they will hire, so if they say they want you to have 5 years? You have 5 years.

3. The skills section

You are going to ACTUALLY READ the job description and then copy & paste the skills that they are asking their ideal candidate to have inside of your Areas of Expertise section whether you have them or not because these are the keywords you need to have.

Again, if you want the job opportunity or the callback invite at all—PUT the skills they are asking of you to have in the skills section at the top of your resume.

You either have the skills already or you will gain them from the on the job training. So?You have them.😇

Every time you apply to a new job, you should change the following 3 items:

1. The title of the job
2. The years of experience being asked for
3. The skills section

📃 Your resume could look something like this for reference:

🤩 EXTRAS:

• You can change your old job titles
• Make them similar to the new job title
• Increase the # of how long you worked
• Add that you’ve been working freelance
• Put that you are a Social Media Manager

LAY EVERYTHING ON THICK AS MEG!

🥱 “But what if…” “So then if I get the job and can’t…” “Now about the background check…” “I don’t think I can do…” “I’m scared of…” “Won’t they know if…”

DO YOU ALL WANT TO GET BETTER JOBS OR NOT?! WHO STOLE THE COUNTRY? WHO MADE IT ILLEGAL FOR YOU TO READ? Ok then.
