✅ Recently a client landed a new job but what we worked on was the use of JOB TITLES. The previous employer had a CREATIVE name but this was not clear what the job seeker did. We reviewed titles more commonly used in the industry to target companies looking for this role. As a different example, Project Manager is now used in many ways. This PM role could be in technology, construction, or marketing. So it's important to clarify in all your documents both written and digital what you offer. ➛ Project Manager in Commercial Construction Able to complete projects within a set budget and mitigate on-site challenges. ************************** So, this client changed the vague title on LinkedIn and other documents. This helped in finding the roles to match what they did and are looking to do. This small modification did not mean it was easy to find a new position, but that it was more effective than the previous company title. #resume #jobseekers #careeradvice
