This post is for you if you’re an artist or arts professional who’s freaked AF about the pandemic, the industry and whether or not you’ll ever work again, in this field or any other one. As an actor who’s also a resume expert and former recruiter, I want to give you some simple fixes to get your resume noticed right now.
At this point I’ve done plenty of hiring, on top of reviewing, evaluating and creating thousands of resumes, so you can bet I’ve been in the unfortunate position where I have not wanted to call a qualified person for an interview. Why? Because I’ve simply hated their resume. And who wants that? I know you don’t.
Recruiters look at your resume for 20 seconds before they decide if they’re going to keep reading. Clarity in your resume is essential. We get confused if it’s not there. And what do confused people do? They move on to the next thing where hopefully they won’t be confused. Right now, employers are receiving hundreds of resumes for one job, so you want YOUR resume to be noticed. It’s as simple as that. And I can help. I’m gonna give you three simple fixes that will help you and get your resume noticed. These tips will work now during the pandemic and also when it’s all over. Applying these fixes will take your resume from atrocious/confusing to readable/ much clearer. Because, truly, your being a creative and working in the arts is great and makes you versatile. But it does not give you license to just slap together a resume any which way and expect people to try to decipher it.
Here are the simple fixes:
A noticed resume gets consideration and sometimes, an interview. And applying these simple little fixes will help get you noticed. You’ll be leaps and bounds ahead of the pack. So stop the madness and go to it.
I’ll be posting more articles like these and including video and freebies like resume templates in future. If you’re interested in no-BS information like this and hate spam, I’d love it if you joined my mailing list. I hate spam, too, and will never subject you to it. Oh, and if you’d like some one on one assistance with that resume or any other aspect of your job search, contact me and we’ll discuss how that can happen.
