32. August Job Search Reset: Why Your Resume Isn’t Working

August Job Search Reset: Why Your Resume Isn’t WorkingAlli and I are taking a short summer break, so we’re bringing back a few episodes that feel especially useful as we head into late summer and the post-Labor Day job search push.This one is all about resumes... because before you start applying to everything, it’s worth asking whether your resume is actually doing its job.In this episode, we talk about why museum resumes often don’t land the way people hope, especially when applying outside the field or trying to communicate complex experience clearly.We cover:why your resume is not your full life storythe difference between a resume and a CVwhy formatting matters more than you thinkhow to write for the person actually reading your resumewhy museum jargon can get in the wayhow to focus on outcomes instead of taskswhy tailoring mattersand how to make your experience easier for a hiring manager to understandIf you’re planning to refresh your materials, get back into the market, or apply more intentionally this fall, this is a great episode to revisit.
