137. #Hired: Why Tailor Your Resume for Your Job Goal

Show Notes | March 21, 2022 | Episode 137 Milspouse Cailey Shivers first approached the remote job search as a numbers game, using an old resume to apply for as many remote jobs as she could, hoping one would stick.  When her ideal remote job came open, Cailey changed her strategy. Coming straight from a government civilian job, she was using her federal resume to apply, which didn't make sense for an executive assistant role at Education First, a completely remote policy organization focused on improving public education. So, Cailey did a deep dive into the VirtForce Podcast and revamped her resume over a single weekend using VirtForce's free Resume Boot Camp course.  Despite being on maternity leave, VirtForce Founder Kimber Hill responded with the most valuable in-depth critique with lots of constructive and actionable advice. Kimber told Cailey she thought she would be a great fit for this role. That extra boost and encouragement was what Cailey needed. Tune in to hear about Education First's great internal company culture and how you too can get your resume critiqued just like Cailey.   Links and Resources Kimber Hill LinkedIn VirtForce Facebook Group VirtForce Job Board In this episode, we mentioned the following resources: Perfect Professional Shirt on Amazon Resume Boot Camp: Ep. 47-60 Rocket Remote Join the Conversation Our favorite part of recording a live podcast each week is participating in the great conversations that happen on our live chat, on social media, and in our comments section.   VirtForce on Facebook VirtForce on LinkedIn VirtForce on Instagram Check Out Recent Podcast Episodes: VirtForce Podcast on Apple Podcasts  VirtForce Podcast on Spotify VirtForce Linktree Check Out Recent Podcast Episodes: 136.
