Top 1% Resume Writing: Write A Resume, Cover Letter, CV

About Course

See how to write every line of your resume in a way that makes your resume well-rounded by showing you as a potential leader, competent, and that you excel at the skills needed for the job.

The course will also show you how to make your resume highly discoverable on job sites, and how to have a professional-looking cover letter.

The course also covers two ways of writing your resume and cover letter. The first way is in a common Word document, and the second is in Canva if you want to have a nicer visual design for your resume and cover letter.

WHAT MAKES THIS RESUME WRITING COURSE UNIQUE

This course is a complete screen-sharing walk-through so you see how I think about and write every single word and line of a resume or a CV. You will see how to put your experience and skills in their best light and the important thing is that don’t just explain it theoretically, but I show it all you on my screen so you see me making each part from scratch.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COVER LETTER AND A RESUME

A resume tells the potential employer about your past experience. A cover letter gives you a chance to explain to the potential employer why your experience is especially relevant to their position. In this course, I’ll show you how to write a professional cover letter that convinces the potential employer to consider your resume and increase your chances of being called for an interview.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CV (CURRICULUM VITAE) AND A RESUME

Curriculum Vitae (CV) is Latin for “course of life.” The CV presents a full history of your academic credentials, so the length of a CV (Curriculum Vitae) can vary. A resume presents a concise picture of your skills and qualifications for a specific position, so length tends to be shorter and dictated by years of experience (1-2 pages).

NEW SECTION ON USING LINKEDIN TO BOOST YOUR CAREER

You can use LinkedIn as your online resume because LinkedIn is one of the first websites that comes up in Google when people search for your name. I added an entire section which is a hands-on, screen-sharing walk-through of how to make every part of your LinkedIn profile act as your online resume and reinforce your online profile.

You can complete the section on how to make your LinkedIn your online resume in under 1 hour and implement the strategies to turn LinkedIn into your online resume in only an additional hour or two. After that, your LinkedIn profile will help you come across as a great professional in your industry.

JOB INTERVIEW PREPARATION

After writing a great resume and submitting it to employers, you will be invited to job interviews. There are a few types of job interviews. Often, the first job interview will be a phone screen. If you pass the phone screen, you will be invited for a full job interview at the employer’s office.

This course helps you with complete job interview preparation from the phone screen to the in-person job interview.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION WHEN YOU FINISH THIS RESUME WRITING COURSE

When you complete 100% of the videos in this resume and cover letter writing course, you will be emailed a certificate of completion by Udemy so you can show it as proof of your resume writing expertise, and that you have completed a certain number of hours of instruction resume writing.
