Why a Modern Resume Should be More Portfolio And Pitch than Paper - Jullien gordon

>>Erik: How do you define the modern resume? >>Jullien: The resume 1.0 is dead. There is just so much information A-symmetry in the career search process. A lot of people think of resumes as a job description, ‘I’m going to take the job that I did and I’m going to put the job description as the bullet points.’ But at the end of the day, what you really want to show an organization is how you moved something within that organization from point A to point B. So, this is not your job description and what you did on a daily basis, but what value you created while you were actually at that organization. They could care less about the education – the school you went to and your GPA. That might get you in the door and decrease that barrier to entry but at the end of the day your resume should communicate the value you create wherever you go. In addition to that I also believe in this notion of the resume 2.0. It’s more of a – it’s in the same way that business do these ten slide decks. I think you should have a deck about who you are, what your purpose is, what your passions are, how you create value, what problem you are committed to solving, everything that’s a part of the 8 Cylinders of Success, and you should also have a portfolio of your best work. That can be a business plan that you wrote in school. It can be a paper that you wrote in school. It could be an even that you coordinated. When you go to an interview, instead of coming with this one sheet resume, you should come with your entire portfolio and lay that out on the table and say, ‘This is how I’ve been creating value at all the organizations and spaces I’ve been in the past five years and this is what I can bring to your organization.’ That alone, bring your portfolio and your resume 2.0 and your resume 1.0 written in the value creation way will set you apart from any other candidate.
