Preparing a résumé that successfully navigates the hurdles of applicant tracking systems, human resource representatives, and hiring managers is essential to an effective and intentional job search.

This workshop will bring all these components together in the larger framework of a job search, with a particular focus on an impactful résumé structure and how to craft meaningful descriptions of skill sets targeted to specific job postings.

You’ll leave the session understanding:

  • The broad overview of the preparation of job application materials for non-academic careers
  • How to successfully navigate applicant-tracking systems through careful preparation of résumés and additional documents
  • How to dissect a job description
  • A broad template structure of attention-getting résumés and resources for crafting impactful résumé bullets
