With my blueprint you'll gain a competitive edge, securing more interviews and increasing your chances of landing your dream job.

THE 4 STEP BLUEPRINT

STEP 1: LIST REFERENCES AT THE TOP

Including references at the top provides recruiters with immediate validation of your qualifications and character. When recruiters see references right away, it signals that you are transparent and confident in your abilities. Ensure that your references are relevant to the job you're applying for, and always ask for permission before listing someone as a reference. Briefly mention their name, position, and contact

information. *Bonus if they work there!

STEP 2: DO NOT ENTER “SEE RESUME”

A complete application is your first opportunity to show professionalism and attention to detail. Recruiters appreciate candidates who meticulously fill out every field. Provide accurate information, from your contact details to your work history. (Hint: Is your voicemail full?)

By doing this, you demonstrate your commitment and make it easier for recruiters to evaluate your qualifications & move you forward.

STEP 3: LIST ALL APPLICATION SKILLS

Tailor your resume for the specific industry and job you're applying for. Highlight the skills and CRM’s that align with the position's requirements. These are typically listed on the job description.

Examples: Business - Google, Slack, Salesforce, Ironclad. Education - Outlook, Brightspace, PeopleSoft. Healthcare - MyCarePlan, ClinicalKey, HRMSWeb This approach will catch the recruiter's attention and make it easier for them to see you are a top candidate for the role.

STEP 4: SHOW ME THE DATA!

Do not bullet point job duties under your experiences. (We know what the position does) Use specific numbers, percentages, and results to

showcase your impact. Recruiters are drawn to concrete evidence of your abilities. For example, instead of saying you "increased sales,"

specify that you "boosted sales by 20% in the first quarter." Quantifying your achievements not only helps you stand out but also provides a clear picture of your contributions to potential employers.

& that's it!
