ADVICE

Target Roles First

  • Start with clear target roles before writing your resume.
  • Focus on aligning your resume with specific job requirements, not just generic best practices.
INSIGHT

Qualifications Matter

  • Resumes convey qualifications; they don't compensate for lacking them.
  • A strong resume is more likely to succeed when you're well-qualified for the target role.
ADVICE

Strategic Applications

  • Consider "Hail Mary" applications for exciting, slightly out-of-reach roles if you're not urgently job searching.
