Editor's Notes
- ----- Meeting Notes (3/16/15 11:03) ----- spending time to brainstorm your personal brand/#1 thing that you want recruiters to know about you will help you to construct your profile summary and it highlight themes in your resume.
- #1) Research the audience you are submitting your application for. Yes, this is an obvious first step – but it’s often overlooked. Who are they? What do they care about? What’s their culture? Language they utilize?
- Message Map = Visual display of who you are on one page. Powerful tool that should be part of your resume arsenal. Building a message map can help you communicate your value proposition in as little as 15 seconds. ----- Meeting Notes (3/16/15 11:03) ----- Crafted my message map with my target audience in mind (higher education)
- Twitter post - no more than 140 characters. If you cannot explain who you are in 140 characters, go back to the drawing board. Developing your tagline/Message Map will also help you to craft your “Professional Summary” and theme of your resume.
- Outline three ninja skills or accomplishments that amplify your value proposition. If I am applying to a university, I know they will understand key terms/university functions like student affairs, career development. twitter headline = 37 characters ----- Meeting Notes (3/16/15 11:03) ----- Knowing that my target audience are colleges and universities, my supporting elements are programs/functions within a school.

- In a traditional resume, you would itemize your job description, detailing what was expected of you in each role. This approach tells an employer nothing about you s an individual. An accomplishment-based resume, on the other hand, gives an employer more accurate information by describing the impact you made in your role. One of the most effective ways to communicate your value proposition is by using a brief narrative structure (STAR), which includes a targeted beginning, a short middle and ending that illustrates what you can bring to the table.
- Pull out current resume Recraft a few job descriptions to STAR accomplishment statements. 10 minutes Work in pairs and we’ll regroup in 10 minutes
- The chronological resume seems to be the most popular format used. They are straightforward and easy to scan. It contains a chronological listing (from most recent to the past) of all your employment along with related accomplishments. Education information is included along with certification and special skills. Real-Life Scenarios That Call For The Chronological Check your professional status. If you fit into one of the following groups, then your resume will generally be best served by a chronological format. 1. Your work history shows progressively responsible experience within the same professional discipline, if that discipline remains your objective. 2. You’ve worked for impressive employers (i.e. nationally recognized "Blue Chip" companies). 3. You’re a candidate for a senior management or executive position. 4. You anticipate an international job search. 5. You’re reentering the work force after an absence.. but remaining in your previous discipline. 6. You're a new graduate... and you have experience in your chosen field. Disadvantages: May be hard to communicate your skills and general strengths/qualities Emphasizes gaps in employment Dramatizes short-term employment Most dependent upon past experience
- Functional resumes highlight your abilities rather than your chronological work history. Your skills are organized into categories. You'll still need to summarize your work history, but this is usually done at the bottom of your resume. By the time the reader has gotten to that point he/she is usually sold on bringing you in for an interview. Advantages: A functional resume is particularly useful for people who: Have gaps in their work history that they would like to minimize Are re-entering the workforce Have frequently changed jobs Are looking to transition into a new career Need to emphasize transferrable skills Disadvantages: Some employers are not accustomed to this format, and it can be confusing for employers to follow It tends to play down direct work experience with specific employers 5 Real-Life Scenarios That Call For The Functional If you fit into one of the following groups, then your resume will generally be best served by a functional format. You've experienced frequent job changes or you have gaps in your employment history. You're changing careers (i.e. warehousing to sales). You're transitioning from military to civilian life... and you're looking to perform a different job function (i.e. from materials management with the military to sales in civilian life). You're overqualified for the position you're now seeking. You're a new graduate... and you have no relevant experience in your chosen field.
