A Small Sample of Our Amazing Students

The course modules are comprehensive and well organized. Thoughtful is the first word that comes to mind. I appreciate Marcelle's process guiding us through the steps to a great CV and for the weekly support calls. It was truly transformative!

  • Julia

I would like to thank you for the amazing course. I have just finished it and I would like to emphasize that the material was very comprehensive and easy to digest at the same time. When I compare my resumes before and after the course there is a huge difference.

  • Mariam

 

Thank you for the incredible workshop. You provided me with a new perspective and helped me to express myself better not only in the resume or LinkedIn profile, but also for future work interviews.

  • Merve

Many thanks for the course and for all your advice. The course was useful for me because I have issues with structuring my experience and understanding what I should look for now. I am still in process, but I already shortened my resume to 2 pages and updated my LinkedIn profile. This process became much easier for me. Thank you very much for all the materials, live sessions and responses.

What’s Inside the Career Kit?

MODULE 1


Defining Your Destination

  • Identify your ideal work environment, plus companies and industries of interest. Whether you have jobs in mind or not, you’ll benefit from reflecting on questions that help you find the right jobs for YOU. You’ll also come away with great talking points for networking conversations and interviews. 

  • Showcase your superpowers for employers. Yes, it’s limited as far as how much someone can get to know you on paper. BUT this is your opportunity to let them get to know you and first impressions count…a lot! 

  • Learn how and where to search for jobs. Every company uses a different system for job titles and levels. It can feel impossible to try and figure out the right title and level for you! We’ll help you determine search terms and job search sites to use to help you find the right positions.

 

MODULE 2


How to Read Job Postings and Find Keywords

  • Learn how employers read resumes and ensure yours is one they actually look at more closely.

  • Implement keywords that will work across job applications. This will save tons of time every time you apply to a new job, and eliminate second guessing yourself about what to include and how to tailor it each time. 

 

MODULE 3


Show, Don’t Tell: The Key to Writing a Solid Resume

  • Uncover your best examples that demonstrate the relevant skills listed in qualifications. This is where you begin to align your past work history with your future career. Remember: where you came from is important, but it has to clearly spell out that you can do what your future employer needs.

  • Employ our proven framework for writing clear, concise bullets. Resume writing differs from academic or business writing. You’ll learn how to write active, specific, purpose/ result-oriented bullets that will turn your resume into a thoughtful career narrative.

  • Learn how your skills from the federal workforce translate to the private sector, and how to transform your current resume into what employers want to see.

 

MODULE 4


Set the Stage to Be Seen

  • Compose a strong opening. We’ll break down each component so you know how to showcase your experience and superpowers (we’ll dive deeper into figuring this out here and combine it with what you learned about yourself in a previous lesson). The opening may be the only thing an employer reads in depth before deciding whether to read the rest. 

  • Tell the employer what they need to know about you. Forget about summarizing your whole background. What matters to the employer, i.e., your audience? This will help you shape both the opening and the rest of your resume.

 

MODULE 5


Showcase What Matters

  • Bolster your opening section. If you have key achievements or have worked or volunteered for well-known organizations, you need to include this section up front. How do you know what to include?

  • Incorporate unique accomplishments. There are sections of a resume that aren’t applicable to everyone, but if you have done one or more things in certain areas you’ll want to include those experiences. We’ll also share tricks to help you know what to include, and what to leave out. 

  • Feature your leadership capabilities. Many job candidates bury roles where they’ve demonstrated leadership competencies, particularly if the work didn’t happen in a paid job. This is a mistake! Learn how to highlight your leadership skills.

 

MODULE 6


Maximize Your LinkedIn Profile

  • Explore each section of LinkedIn and how you should approach the content. We’ll talk about how to optimize it by using the keywords you’ve used throughout your resume.

  • How to be considered an active LinkedIn user to be ranked higher in recruiters’ search results.

  • Increase your chances of landing interviews by sending meaningful connection requests and asking the right questions.
