Re: Mistakes to avoid when writing your resume.
I found this episode helpful, and especially liked the discussion about including a “Hobby” section at the end, as a way to help telegraph the personality you bring to the table.
Having been on both sides of the hiring process, though, I was surprised that there was no mention of the role of ATS… Applicant Tracking Systems. The tips herein presume that your resume is in the hands of a human being, when in fact, these ATS systems can kick qualified applicants out or to the bottom of the candidate pool, never to be seen by a human eye.
There’s several articles online about these “Hidden Workers” - untapped talent that never get considered because their resumes are never actually looked at.
Good, but…
As a non-millennial, this is a great podcast for leaders as it gives great ideas to consider as we navigate the pandemic. It is slightly offensive that “white men” is used in such a stereotypical fashion of “bad leadership” or “narcissistic behavior”. In fact, this week’s episode used it 5 times. There are exceptional leaders of every race, gender, religion, sexual orientation and political beliefs, likewise there are really bad ones. Leadership has to come from the heart and the brain. Success to me is when I began spending 80% of my time developing and cultivating my employees and 20% of the time working on myself. Contentment comes when you are well-satisfied with the work you’ve done and the legacy left behind.
