051: Resume Writing for Career Reinvention: Show Your Value, Not Just Your Job History

What if the problem with your resume is not that it leaves too much out, but that it is trying to carry too much? Sandra has not updated her resume in ten years. That creates a very real question: how do you represent a decade of building a coaching business while still honoring the thirty years of IT leadership that shaped the work you do now? Annette shifts the question from “How much history should I include?” to “What is relevant to where I am going next?” From there, the conversation gets practical: how to show evidence instead of duties, use numbers to communicate scope, keep LinkedIn and your resume congruent, handle education and older experience, decide which skills have become basic expectations, and use the job description as more than a list of ATS keywords. And with AI making it easier than ever to create polished, interchangeable resumes, the details only you can provide matter even more. If this conversation has you looking at your resume differently, join the Exposing the Hidden Reality email list at exposingthehiddenreality.com. You will get access to additional resume resources from Annette and an invitation to her August 24 interactive workshop, Rethink the Resume: Don't Let AI Make You Average.
