In this episode of the Career Strategy Podcast, Sarah talks about the REAL reason most candidates get overlooked when applying for jobs and what to do about it.

Time Stamps:

1:17: If you didn't get an interview, you need to understand the root problem and not just the symptom.

2:30: Standing out when you apply and during interviews goes way beyond wordsmithing, bullet points, and massaging pixels.

3:12: If what you're talking about only scratches the surface, then you're gonna sell yourself short.

4:13: No amount of rewriting or redesigning can help if your story isn't solid.

5:19: What you need to do is, number one, review the job description for the jobs you are applying.

5:27: Second, you need to identify the skills and experience the companies are looking for.

5:34: Number three, you need to thoughtfully consider your previous experience and identify examples.

5:51: Step four is working those examples into your resume, portfolio, and interview answers.

6:14: Don't be afraid if your process had twists and turns and didn't follow the traditional way that you think something should have been done.

6:44: The perfect UX process does not exist, and you do not have to strive to represent that if it didn't actually happen.

6:56: This is your permission slip to showcase the messiness.

6:59: Go beyond just the 'what' of your work experience and let people in on the process.? Interested in learning more about Career Strategy Lab? Click here to apply! Once you're accepted we'll send an exclusive training for you to watch to learn more about the program.
