Ep84: Thinking of hiring a resume writer? BAD idea.
In this episode, Mei Phing discusses why hiring a resume writer is a bad idea because they cannot accurately express your career story and you won’t gain the confidence needed for job interviews.
Key Highlights
📝 Writing your own resume is essential for effectively expressing your career story during job interviews. Resumes written by others may not accurately reflect your experiences and achievements.
💪 Taking the time to write your own resume builds confidence and prepares you for job interviews. It shows that you have put in the effort and are serious about your career.
🔄 Updating your resume regularly, at least once a year, helps track your career growth and plan your next career move. It also ensures your resume reflects your latest achievements and contributions.
🎙️ Mei Phing emphasizes the importance of learning the skill of resume writing. It is a valuable skill that can be utilized throughout your career and should not be outsourced entirely.
📝 Seeking professional feedback on your resume can provide valuable insights and perspectives. However, it is crucial to have a foundation by writing your own resume first.
🤔 Feeling entitled to have someone else write your resume may hinder your personal and professional growth. Taking ownership of your career development is essential for long-term success.
💼 Hiring managers can often detect when a resume was not written by the candidate, leading to inconsistencies during interviews. Writing your own resume ensures a genuine representation of your skills and experiences.
