This course is intended to be relevant across the board, no matter what job you are applying for. The curriculum is organized into four principles that assist with the mindset needed to create a powerful resume. Yes, there are many simple and concrete tips. However, the most meaningful aspect is the learning gained on how to understand the potential employer and how to show, prove, and demonstrate skills as opposed to merely telling about them.
