      17 Ways to Improve Your Resume For Free! - Rachael Brennan

      Introduction

      Rachel: Guess what?

      Ross: You got a job?

      Rachel: Are you kidding? I'm trained for nothing! I was laughed out of twelve interviews today.

      Chandler: And yet you're surprisingly upbeat.

      -Friends, the pilot episode

      Are you one of the 46% of Americans¹ who consider themselves to be underemployed but don’t see any way to move beyond the minimum wage? Have you sent out dozens or even hundreds of resumes while looking for a job without getting a single interview? Do you feel like you would be an excellent candidate for a higher paying position with more responsibility if only you could get someone to pay attention to your resume? Have you resigned yourself to racking up tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt in hopes that a degree will move you further along in your career? Are you looking for an affordable way to make your resume stand out above the rest? Then look no further, because the answers to your questions are laid out within the pages of this book!

      If your resume feels like it is missing some necessary pieces but you aren’t sure how to go about filling in the gaps, this book is a good place to start. Whether you are looking for a way to expand the education section of your resume or you’re stuck in the common I need experience to get a better job but no one will hire me to give me any experience conundrum, you will find solutions to your problems here. If you can’t afford to throw money at the problem but you are willing to put in some time and effort towards self-improvement, 17 Ways to Improve Your Resume – For Free! offers you a variety of ways to make your resume an attention-getter, several of which I have personally used to lift myself out of the call-center hell I was stuck in for the first 10 years of my career!

      Considering that the average job posting receives 250 resumes, yet only interviews 4-6 candidates for the position², it is incredibly important to get the hiring manager’s attention as soon as they pick up your resume. Whether you use one or more of the tips listed in this book or simply use them as inspiration for some creative ideas of your own, reading this book is the first step towards changing your career for the better!

      My Story

      I grew up hearing that college was the key to a good, steady job, just like everyone else in my generation. It was made abundantly clear that my GPA was important because I needed good grades to get accepted into college, while off-handed jokes were made about slackers who only had the skills to ask you if you wanted fries with that. My generation was told that a degree was necessary to do anything more than fold sweaters at the mall, and if you look on sites like Monster and Indeed, you’ll see that we weren’t lied to – most receptionist and assistant positions
