Don't Give Your Job Search a Holiday
Memorial Day weekend is here.
And yes — job seekers deserve rest.
But I want to encourage you not to completely disconnect from your future for three straight days.
You do not need to spend the whole weekend applying to jobs.
But one intentional move this weekend could create momentum for June.
That’s why I’m encouraging job seekers to watch my free on-demand workshop:
Master Your Job Search
It covers: • Résumé strategy • LinkedIn visibility • Interview preparation • Targeted job search planning
Watch it this weekend on your own schedule.

Rest. Recharge. Reset.
But don’t give your job search a holiday.

"Resume Tip" Is your Resume Impactful?
An effective resume shows – not tells – how you add value. Yes, you need to list your responsibilities, but you also need to show what happened because you were there. In other words, call out your impact. For example, if you are responsible for recruiting and hiring and you would say it is one of your key strengths, include how many people you hired, how quickly you made those hires, and how many of your hires have outlasted the average tenure of your firm or your industry. Just saying! #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips

"Resume Tip" Are you Exaggerating your skills on your Resume?
I wouldn't do that if I were you!
For example! Describing yourself as the "best salesperson in America" or something similar is never a good addition to your resume. These sort of statements not only make you seem rather arrogant or lack integrity, they're also just a bit embarrassing and a sure way to convince recruiters or the hiring manager to add you to the 'no' pile. Instead, use real examples, that can be backed up, to impress your potential employer.
It is never a good idea! #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips

"Resume Tip"
Are you making your Resume too technical?
Bear in mind that the person who gives your resume its initial read through may not necessarily have knowledge in your specific job area, or be familiar with complicated industry terms. Therefore, you should try to make sure that you avoid using too much technical jargon. When listing your previous work experience it may also be helpful to explain who each company is. They may be well known to your contemporaries, but a recruiter might not know why working for them is impressive. #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips

"Resume Tip"
Not tailoring for each position
If you're applying for several jobs it might be tempting to just fire off the same resume to all of them. However, it'll give you a much better chance of securing an interview if you customize it each time.
Indeed, 63% of recruiters said this is something they definitely want from job candidates in a recent survey. Today, many companies perform an initial electronic resume review, so it's important to go through the job description and ensure you've included any keywords mentioned.

"Resume Tip"
When listing your previous work experience make sure to Include Relevant Job Titles. Use synonymous job titles if you can. What does that mean?
Match the job title as closely as possible to what’s in the posting.
Example: If the job you are applying for has the title “Administrative Assistant” and your previous job title was “Office Coordinator”, these titles are essentially same in many cases so customize your resume to the job description and put your previous job title as "Administrative Assistant". Never lie! Simply, you are swapping synonymous titles. #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips
