Want to hear lots of free resume and job search tips (mostly focused on librarians/LIS folk but truly applicable to many others)? You're in luck!
For the second time, I was a guest on The Librarian Linkover podcast, hosted by Lorene Kennard, MLIS. I love chatting with Lorene, and it was really fun to do a Q&A with FAQs about all sorts of job search-related topics.
Listen to the podcast episode to find out:
🔹 What resume writers do
🔹 First step you should take in your job search (it's not what you think)
🔹 Strategies for dealing with job loss or a career switch
🔹 Why choosing one job target is essential
🔹 Whether it's advisable to include volunteer experience or hobbies on your resume
🔹 Whether your resume and LinkedIn profile should be different
🔹 What NOT to include in your application materials
🔹 Tactics for combatting ageism
🔹 Why ATS is not your enemy (despite what 99% of the internet wants you to believe)
🔹 Why you might need to update your resume even if you're not looking for a job
🔹 An exclusive (and wildly good) special code for my new course Get Organized to Get Hired--only for Librarian Linkover listeners!
After you listen, please comment below with your favorite takeaway or something surprising you learned from the episode!
