PHASE 1 – Resume Mastery

PHASE 1 of the program focuses on your resume and the related documents you will need for your search.

We start by defining what it means to be done with your resume so you know when to stop tinkering, also making it easier to ignore all the well-intentioned, but unhelpful advice bombarding you daily!

Whether you are writing a resume for yourself, or if you are a professional resume writer in training, this comprehensive course is for you.
