Hot Seat Friday: Telling the Right Story With Your Résumé| with Karen Goffred

Today, what I’d love to do is give you an insider’s glimpse into the world of my Optimizer coaching & mentorship program and what we call the ‘Hot Seat.’ What you’ll hear today is a recording of an actual live session with an Optimizer student where on the Hot Seat we tackle various questions about career transitions, productivity, workflows, networking, burnout, habit formation, resumes and websites, and any number of other work or life challenges that students bring to the table as they navigate their own path towards success.

In the following hot seat session, community member Karen Goffred comes to me wanting to workshop her resume. But before we can assess her resume and dive into the details (which is where essentially everyone thinks they should focus first), we instead first have to determine her career goals and who her audience is that she is speaking to. These questions are crucial first steps that anyone must take first before truly being able to workshop a resume so that it is targeted and aimed for the jobs that will move her career in the direction she wants to go.
