Over the past year, I’ve shifted from a reactive career opportunities focus to a proactive one. But my resume, prospective employer outreach and social profiles didn’t make the shift appropriately and I found myself not getting “the looks” I knew I was qualified for. Through consultation with Career Amp, it became crystal clear that my resume was not structured appropriately or keyword optimized to navigate employers’ HR digital screening platforms. Networking and having contacts in prospect employers is still key, but absent having those relationships, as an “unknown” candidate and applying for roles through job boards, my resume wasn’t working for me.
After a few sessions with Career Amp, I had an outstanding new resume that better reflected my background, expertise and value to a prospective employer. And it’s paying off. I’m getting “the looks” now where I don’t have a current network of contacts. My social profiles are much better as well, with input and counsel from Career Amp. They have optimized my career search assets and, true to their brand, they’ve amplified my presence with prospective employers and recruiters. Partnering with Career Amp was one of the best things I’ve done to help accelerate my job search.
