Resume/Applying for Jobs Advice👩🏽💻💅🏽💸
Hey Heauxs, so I know this post isn’t sugar related, but as we all know, having multiple streams of income is only helpful in being a healthy and happy SW.
So after going through about 43 resumes with my supervisor today, I thought I’d drop some knowledge.
Note: Most of this is common sense, also, there are plenty of other helpful tips out there, this is just a list of what I encountered first hand today. These tips may not apply to all jobs, but still, pretty helpful information.
1. DON’T ask for a salary that is too huge for the position, ESPECIALLY if they mention the salary in the job description! (Ex: Our job posting says $55,000/year, there were people asking for $90-120k..those resumes were deleted off the bat)
2. If the job application REQUIRES a resume and a cover letter, do both! Better safe then sorry.
3. If you don’t not have some form of experience in the field you are applying to (preferably over a years worth) you probably won’t get the job
4. Make sure you submit you resume in a way that can be easily read! (One persons resume was getting cut off and another person had color designs, and the words couldn’t be read over the dark patterns)
5. To bounce off of that, limit the amount of patterns and designs you have UNLESS you are applying to a more creative field. If you are not, it is unprofessional.
6. They will google you, and look through your social media... pretty self explanatory what you need to do. Keep it PG13, PG if you can.
I will add more info as I get it. We started with 43, we are now at about 20 resumes (we have yet to review social media). My boss is going over the rest in detail and will likely chop another half, in which I will ask why, and make another post. Then it’s reviewing social media, and finally, interviews.
