“The biggest problem with the resumes I see is that people tend to summarize their experience, instead of selling themselves. At the end of the day the job search process is really a sales process, and the product that you’re selling is yourself.” - Austin Belcak
The first time today’s guest appeared on Finding Brave, and we talked about how to land your dream job at the salary you deserve, I received so much positive feedback about the episode and its impact that I knew I had to invite him back. Today Austin returns to share the biggest mistakes he sees with professionals’ resume creation, and the ways you can optimize your resume if you want to get truly noticed by recruiters and land that plum role you’re after.
Austin Belcak is the founder of CultivatedCulture.com where he teaches people how to land jobs at the world’s best companies without applying online.
He has helped thousands of job seekers get hired at top organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Salesforce, Facebook, and more. His strategies have also been featured on top media platforms like Forbes, Business Insider, Fast Company, Inc. and more.
As Austin explains in this episode, resumes are only one piece of the job search puzzle, but creating them effectively is absolutely essential in putting yourself forward in the most compelling way. There’s a lot more that needs to happen as well if you want continued and consistent success in your job search in 2019, and the best part is that the strategies Austin reveals will not only guide you in building the best resume possible, but they can be applied to your LinkedIn profile and help you to speak powerfully about your accomplishments, all of which is important to recruiters and hiring managers looking for their ideal candidate.
