Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

Additional Posts in Resume Tips

One of the biggest resume mistakes I see is focusing solely on job duties. Yes, you should include relevant responsibilities, but you should frame them in a way that highlights your skills. And include achievements wherever possible. Quantify them if you can. A good way to frame them is "Achieved X by doing Y."

Today's tip: Your resume (and cover letter) should target the specific position. The easiest way to do this is to edit your professional summary and key skills sections (which should comprise the top third of your resume) to reflect the qualifications required or desired in the job posting. Be honest – only reference those skills you have!

Resume length: one page or two?

It depends! If you're a recent grad or junior in your career, stick to one. Once you're a few years or jobs out, 1.5-2 pages is fine. Even if you're very senior, try to stick to two. Many hiring managers will not read beyond that, and your resume should be a highlight reel anyway. Note: these general rules apply to US-based professional positions. Other countries and industries (like acadamia) may follow different norms.

like

Let's talk about keywords. Virtually all big companies use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to manage their job search process. Systems vary but many use keyword scanning to identify the most relevant resumes submitted based on the extent to which they reference keywords from the job posting. This means you should consider targeting your resume to each posting and definitely do so for top choice jobs. Keywords will tend to be hard skills found in the qualifications sections.

Starting us off with an important tip: Your resume is a marketing document, not an autobiography. It should include relevant jobs, responsibilities, and perhaps most importantly, achievements. Where you can quantify an accomplishment or just talk up a major project you led at work or in an internship, do so. The point is to make the hiring manager think, “Wow, I need to talk to this person! They seem like a good fit!”
