Alumni Webinar: Megaresumes: Why You Should Have One, How to Create One, and When to Use It
Many professionals only update their resumes when they’re about to go through a job transition. Yet, if you aren’t updating your resume several times a year, what major accomplishments or hard data could you be forgetting to include simply because they happened a year or two ago? That’s where megaresumes can help.
Megaresumes are a way of organizing and documenting your professional abilities and successes as they happen. By using that when you are applying for jobs, you don’t have to struggle to recall the quantitative results of a project you led or search folder after folder for writing samples. Join us to learn more about the many uses of megaresumes, what you should include, and how they can best help you in your job search.
