Resumes That Pop (Without So Much Pain!)

Working on your resume can feel like fingernails scratching the chalkboard of your soul, getting a million mental papercuts, the emotional equivalent of stepping on a sea of legos 🥴.

But it doesn’t have to be this way, and that’s why I (Phoebe Gavin 👋🏾) decided to offer this workshop. I’m a career and leadership coach and former executive director of talent and development at Vox.com, which means I’ve personally read thousands of resumes, conducted hundreds of interviews, hired dozens of candidates, and trained dozens of other hiring managers.

In this workshop, you'll get the 411 on:

How recruiters and hiring managers actually think about resumes (including likes, dislikes, bonus points, & red flags)

Exactly what to do to maximize your chances that your resume will be read, remembered, and acted upon by the hiring manager


Steps to take to prevent your resume from getting filtered out by application bots or AI


A digestible process for writing each section of your resume, sans overwhelm


How to create high-impact bullets for each of your roles that are attention-grabbing, impressive, and resonate strongly with what recruiters and hiring managers are looking for


How to customize your resume to specific jobs in a way that's effective, yet Quick & Easy (I’d venture to guess that those are your two favorite words when it comes to writing your resume 😎)


Where and when AI tools like ChatGPT can be useful in your resume development process (and how to protect your privacy)
