Who wrote this thing anyway?
Hey, I’m Lynn and I’m a job search strategist.
Why should you follow my advice on your resume?
Well, I’m not totally sure that you should. I encourage you to use this guide as a starting point and then verify anything that you have a doubt about.
In creating this I am not only drawing on my four years of experience writing resumes and teaching clients a 9-step process to landing their ideal roles, I am also drawing on my experience as a hiring manager for a software company. I built an awesome team of 8 people.
That being said, if you have any doubts or questions about this guide, feel free to write me on LinkedIn. :)
I also personally know what it feels like to have the tools that are supposed to help us market ourselves, just make it harder. Prior to becoming a hiring manager at a software company,, I was a school teacher looking to pivot into tech. LinkedIn uses its algorithm or whatever and basically told me that I wasn't qualified for any role in tech. A few months later, I landed a job at Microsoft. I am so glad that I didn’t give up. And I want you to have the tools you need to land your ideal role, whether that is a pivot or a big step up. You can also consider me a cheerleader.
