Podcast: Writing a Winning Resume

by Sean Cook on May 4, 2012

Your resume gets you in the door. Or it doesn’t. It won’t get you a job. Its role is to get you noticed.

In this week’s episode of the Higher Ed Career Coach Show on BlogTalkRadio, I talked about the art and science of resume writing, and gave an overview of the 7 points included in my recent e-book.

I also talked about ATS (Automatic Text Screener) programs, and some tools and tips for getting a handle on the challenge of writing a keyword-rich resume.

I also gave a brief overview of some of my resume writing and career coaching packages. For more information about packages available through this site, click here.
