IMAGE SERVICES Staffing’s Post

New cohort starts next Thursday (7/29). Join us!! (6 spots left) This has been my first week in a while without at least one job searching cohort in session and I miss them and the amazing humans they’ve brought into my life already! Can’t wait for next week. Folks who have gotten the most out of these are: - fairly senior in their careers with so many directions their story and experiences can take - know their goals for a search - like accountability - want to celebrate wins and share losses with others who get it - like getting feedback - are excited to be more strategic in job searching - want to brainstorm their search and the steps they see drop off with an expert Note: this next one is for folks in any industry or type of function LMK I’d y’all have questions before snagging a spot (link in comments) #JobSearch #ResumeTips #InterviewHelp #Hiring

Hey, #underutilizedrockstar ! What's on your resume? Likely TOO MUCH. I've just seen a 10 pager and let me tell you- I still didn't find the credentials/ skills/ experience I was looking for in it! Focus on what you know! Apply to those jobs (if you MUST. I prefer the backdoor approach!) Sure, have your ULTIMATE RESUME in your back pocket to draw inspiration from, but limit your resume to 1 or two pages that highlight your MOST relevant skills for the position you are applying to when you send that sucker in! OMG CASS! I don't want to rewrite my resume for every job!!! I hear you, but this is what it takes to COMPETE with others in the same space! Or just use the #backdoorapproach

Why do people list how many kids they have on their resumes? 🤔 Seriously, I’m genuinely curious—what’s the rationale behind it? Recruiters don’t need to know if you’re raising two daughters or three sons. 🙅♂️ Instead, highlight what truly counts: your skills, unique abilities that employers can leverage, and detail your previous work experiences to demonstrate their relevance. 🌟 But no, some opt to mention their children’s count and ages, giving just a snippet about their last job. 🚫 That’s definitely not how it should be done! So, what do you think—are there any good reasons to mention the number of kids on a resume? I’m stumped—perhaps you have some insights? 😄

Question: This is mostly for professionals currently working in their careers, but is it preferred for a resume to be more simple (experience, education, black and white) or to be more complex (use of color, a picture, volunteer experience, etc.)? Or does it really matter due to the low amount of human eyes looking at the resume?

At the end of the day, companies ARE NOT 🙅♂️ looking for great resumes. They're looking for.... Great people 👱♂️ 👱♀️ 👲 Company culture makes a huge difference. People work harder and stay longer at companies when they like where they work. But when you consider applicants are judged by a resume, great people are easily overlooked. That's why all of our veteran candidates are presented along with a video highlighting their personality and soft skills alongside their technical background and military experience. We help humanize applicants and translate their relevant skills by putting a real person 👋 in front of the hiring manger saving companies time and effort while minimizing the risk of mis-hiring. If you're expanding your workforce and considering veteran talent, I'd love to connect. Link is in my bio 🔗

AKA - Don't be lazy and follow the process set out. Most candidates don't realize that even the way in which you apply for a job factors into hiring decisions. If you cannot follow directions at the beginning of the process/are difficult to work with that is a pretty good indication that you will act the same way as an employee.
