What’s even more challenging is accomplishing that on your resume. Find Your Dream Job guest Melanie Denny says to start with clarity; clarity on what you want and how your most recent couple of jobs prepared you for that particular position. Melanie also advises adding any courses or education you’ve completed and using the correct jargon for the job you want.
