After my week of not doing much on the job search in the wake of the flu, I have tons to do this week. I cannot tell you how the job listings piled up in my in-box – and I really have to read them if I don’t want to miss a good lead right?
My outplacement coach sent me a new version of my resume. And so did the Ladders. Resume rules are SO confusing. My outplacement coach’s writers completely contradict the resume review at the Ladders. And I bet if I sent my resume to LinkedIn, they’d have even more contradictions. If someone tells you they have the definitive template for a resume, tell them you have a bridge for them to buy first. From what I can tell, the best thing you can do is pick a template, make sure you use keywords from the job description and hope for the best.
I also need to follow up on the HR screener interview I had last week. They told me I’d hear about next steps by the end of last week. And I’m getting crickets… I would really LOVE the role too…
I dreamed about my job at Walgreens again last night. So frustrating to dream about work and wake to not working! I think we can safely say, this is a down day in the old job search so pardon me while I go give it my best to turn it around!
