Hey everyone! 🌟 Have you ever felt like employers just aren’t reading your resume properly? 🤔 I recently went back to school to get my BBA, got additional certifications, and made sure to highlight it in my professional summary and education section. However, recruiters and employers still keep asking me what I’ve been doing during that time. 🤷♂️
Here are some thoughts on how to make sure your education stands out on your resume:
– Consider adding a small blurb under your work experience section mentioning your BBA Degree and certifications.
– Use bold or a different font color to make your education section more eye-catching.
– Make sure your resume format is clean and easy to read to ensure important information isn’t missed.
What are your thoughts on this? Have you faced a similar situation? Let’s share our tips and tricks to ensure our resumes are getting the attention they deserve! 💼💬 #Resumehacks #CareerAdvice
They expect you to work while doing all that
Chances are they didn’t read it at all.
Your headline is a word too long.
Maybe reword it if they’re not getting it. But you’re doing the right thing by putting it at the top. Does sound like something recruiters do though, not read.
You might want to start by not including extra apostrophes.
Your idea of having a blurb about it in the experience section makes sense to me. Maybe just show it like a position, but without any bullet points.
But I agree, it’s super frustrating. Maybe just lie and say you were a fucking astronaut or something.
If you are getting calls what you are doing is working. So, there is that.
When I did my resume for returning to the workforce after earning my degree in my 30’s I put my education down first. I put down what I learned each year, organized it into themes and highlighted what I knew that could help me get the job. This also helps with keywords. But worked for me may not work for you, and what you are doing is working.
Take the opportunity presented by “What have you been doing” which is a hella open ended question to talk about what you learned at school that could help them (based on the job description).
Do your utmost to turn it into a conversation about what you know. The goal isn’t for them to read your resume, that is just an action we’d like them to take. The goal is to get a job. So take the contact and use it. tell them a story, build a narrative about why you’d be the best (insert role here) ever.
They’re calling. That’s the first hurdle. Use that.
