Nobody is talking about you because there is nothing to say

Personal Branding. Does that phrase make you cringe, or is it exciting? There is a lot of talk and hype about personal branding. Some people treat it like it’s the missing key to professional success. Let me share one concept that I’ve learned the hard way over the years: If you want people to know…

Does Your Job Search Hurt?

My wife and I were talking about a famous vocalist and about he she sings about who she is, her life, her experiences. She clearly loves what she does. And her audience easily connects with her. Her personal life and her work life seems congruent. What a blast! In contrast, when I started my job…

Ilona:
I get it: the top paragraph is to be adjusted according to the specific gig’s requirements. Will the rest of the resume’s format stay intact?
One more question: when responding electronically, is it recommended to send the resume as part of an e mail, or as an attachment ?
Any other comments, input, or questions? Am I ready to rock? OK, so that was two more questions.
Again, thanks for all your good work – well done. It is appreciated.
Be well,

Greg,
Let me first say: thanks so much for the attention to detail and great job on both the Resume and Cover Letter. I really appreciate it.
Initially, I think I only have a few changes. The most major of these centers around the “Interim VP of Technology”-related verbiage. Although I served in this capacity at StrategyOne during most of my first year, this was not an official title that I held – for us to present it in that way would not be representative of the truth. I think we should definitely highlight the work, but we shouldn’t attribute titles to me that I never officially held. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused in relaying this info initially.
Beyond this, I rephrased a few things in the Profile. Other than that, I think we’re getting very close to a final version.
Thanks again – let me know what you think here. I’ve attached the updated documents with my changes in red.
Thanks,
Johnny L.

Ilona thanks for the positive feedback.
First draft looks great. I made changes/answered
questions where needed.
I have had my HR corporate wife proofread and make any suggestions. Don’t worry not many.
