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.

Once you've done your sleuthing and reflecting, you're ready to write and review your resume!

No matter what trend is currently en vogue (video resumes! infographic resumes!) there are timeless tips and practices that make a resume shine. We'll show you what those tips are, while taking into account common obstacles and situations in resume writing (No experience? Making a career change? Wondering if your resume is too long? We've got you covered!). We even show you an example of a well-tailored resume.

Then we'll show you the four---yes, four!---people you need to have review your resume to ensure it shines.

Each section comes with worksheets to help you get a better handle on the material. After you complete the course, take our short quiz to ensure you're ready to submit your resume.
