What to do with your resumé

Once you have developed your personal brand and crafted your resume, it is time to enter the job market and officially begin your job search. The following guide provides strategies and tips to maximize the use of your resumé to secure your next job.

In this guide you will learn how to:

  • apply for jobs (even if you feel you are under-qualified for them)
  • tap into the hidden job market;
  • work with recruiters;
  • update your LinkedIn profile;
  • build your network;
  • and manage your references (including a helpful preparation checklist).


This guide also highlights productive ways to keep your resumé up-to-date and fresh — simple things such as creating an “accomplishments” file and building a list of projects you have managed. It also suggests revisiting your resumé at least once a year, even after you land your dream job, so that you are always prepared for future opportunities as they arise.
