Description
If you want to learn how to hack the needed evil of résumés this is probably the most important course you will ever take.
During the process of finding a new job, drafting a convincing résumé is the biggest hurdle. For most applications the process stops right after sending it. Recruiters and hiring managers need less than 7 seconds to decide if they continue reading. No invitation to an interview.
Let me share how things are working from the inside of the organizations you want to work for. Be prepared to learn new things that you might have never heard before. Equipped with that new insight, I teach you how to draft a winning résumé in a way that your invitations to interviews will increase drastically.
After reading a job advertisement, you might feel overwhelmed. This course will make you aware of typical misconceptions jobseekers have. They block them to apply for a job they might be well suitable for. This applies especially for women, as “being a good girl” works against them. Once understood, you will easily overcome those unreal barriers.
Yet all your experiences and skills carry little value for hiring managers if you cannot show them that your application is what they all hope for: a solution to their problem. Only then can you expect an invitation to an interview.
This "Master your unique CV" will teach you how to do exactly this.
Will you be seen as someone who can do the job and can be trusted? Is your CV talking to them, relevant and not boring? Only few job-hunters know the key criteria that differentiate good from bad résumés. Do not rely on luck.
The “Master your unique CV” course will teach you how to draft your résumé in a way that your readers will answer those essential questions with “yes”. You will not give them any reasons to reject it.
You will get a position you can enjoy with a sense of purpose that makes you feel fulfilled and valuable and that makes your professional dreams come true.
Please note: this is not a computer-generated career course with lots of data slides and a robot voice. It is taught be Jürgen Schmied, a real human being, talking to you and sharing with you directly what he has seen, learnt and used as hiring manager and mentor over many years.
I have added another lecture under Bonus for you. Enjoy.
Who this course is for:
- Are you looking for your first job?
- Do you want to change jobs and maybe career?
- Do you need a new job (e.g. after lay-off, long-term absence etc.)?
- Do you send application after application without response?
