Step 1: Create An Effective Resume
Your resume is still the primary way for a company to vet you and your experience, figuring out whether you deserve a chance within their interview process. To me, this is the most low-hanging fruit of all these steps as the effort here is extremely multiplicative - You make your resume really good just once and then that quality helps you out on every single job application. If you are not 100% confident in your resume, you absolutely need to take that extra time to really polish it and get that 100% confidence.
The good thing about the resume space is that it is effectively solved and is much more straightforward compared to pretty much everything else within the job-searching process. Here’s the resources you need to become a resume master:
