How to Write a Resume That Stands Out

📋 Check out an example resume here: hbr.org/2022/05/how-to-write-...
Writing a resume has always been hard. How do you condense all of your experience into one page (or even fill out one page if you've just graduated)? How do you make it look good, but still easily readable? Now, with the introduction of applicant tracking systems (aka the bots that scan your resume), the resume writing process has become even more challenging.
But thankfully, there are some ways to make your resume work for you. I talked to Kristi DePaul, CEO of Founders and a personal branding expert, about how to make my resume stand out. She taught me exactly what to do to get my resume past the bots, into the hands of a hiring manager, and on top of the "accept" pile. I even made a new resume based on her guidance. Watch until the end if you need a template to base yours off of.

6:06 Include endorsements, and quotes
6:30 Multiple pages are okay (just don't force it)

I agree with some things but not all. to me I feel like a blurb at the beginning is unnecessary.

For practical reasons, recruiting is not profit generating unit, why would companies go with what you want?
