Course Overview and Structure
Most resume courses jump right into writing: Use bold here! Get rid of that objective! Make sure there's plenty of white space! While this advice can be helpful, we believe that the most important part of resume writing happens before you even set pen to paper.
In fact, in order to write a stand-out resume, you first need to be a bit of a detective.
Job descriptions often include clues about what's important to the hiring manager and the kind of professional needed for the role. After identifying these elements, you then you need to look at your own experiences to see if there's a match. In the first two lessons, we'll walk you through the process of analyzing a job description and identifying what makes you a good fit.
