About Amanda…
She is a career expert and spokesperson for Talent Inc. (Top Resume is a company under TI), and a certified résumé writer. She is frequently in the press. She also has her own firm, Amanda Auguestine, LLC. Amanda cites Top Resume’s survey to employers about the top soft skills. Respondents list communication and all that is a part including digital communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, teamwork, and time management.
Highlights from our conversation:
- Amanda cites Resumebuilder’s survey of employers that 30% state they reject applicants who do not have their vaccination status on their résumés.
- She recommends putting your vaccination status at the end of your professional summary or executive summary.
- Amanda says, “When you’re looking for a job, you are now a marketer and you are marketing the most valuable asset out there, yourself, your qualities, your candidacy, all the qualifications that you bring to the table.”
- You should think about how can you demonstrate that you possess the skills that are going to make you a good candidate to be working remotely, whether that’s the tech skills you’ve gathered in the different project management areas.
- Bullet points should be bragging points
- Use LinkedIn posts (and other social platforms) to show employers you’re ready for remote work by showing them the area where you’ve set up.
