Imagine there’s a new restaurant in town.
You’re checking out their website, but it’s a little empty. In fact, it only has one page, featuring only this one line:
“We’re certified by the Food Safety Administration”.
That’s it.
No menu
No photos
No reviews
Nothing
Don’t be boring. Don’t send a resume
Would you go eat at that restaurant?
Unlikely.
Now consider that this is exactly what it’s like when you’re applying for a job when you send a resume!
After all, your resume is just a list of degrees, and certifications. There’s no product, no value proposition, no social proof, nothing.
How is a company supposed to know you’re going to be valuable?
They can’t—unless you show something better.
So go do that.
(Don’t send a resume).
