I’m convinced my resume is what’s holding me back from getting interviews…I was recently laid off from my Brand Strategist job at an agency and am looking for a new role in Brand or Creative Strategy/General Marketing client side. Can someone please help edit my resume to be ATS friendly and cater to brands? Willing to pay if need be!

I'm not a resume editor but I think that there are plenty of online tools you can use to check your resume against the job listings these days. Jobscan is a free scanner that will check how ATS friendly your resume is.. That being said, I think a lot of resumes are getting tossed out these days and people are only getting roles if they have connections. So I wouldn't just blame your resume, but also focus heavily on networking

Is there a best way to go about networking? I’ve been referred for some roles through networking to no avail. I’ve also been going a different approach now where I just reach out to people at companies I’d want to work at asking to chat and learn about their experience on LinkedIn with no response lol

I’d be surprised that your resume is a major issue but feel free to DM me and I can give my 2 cents

^^ Ditto! Also, I’m hiring a Sr Strategist for my team…if this role interests, DM me I’m happy chat https://www.momentumww.com/opportunities/?gh_jid=7825970002&cmg_gh_hash=012425161013#cmg-gh

You should use the Wharton template and if you are struggling on how to word things then have Chat GPT do it for you. You could also hire a professional resume writer, there are lots of good ones on Upwork.

Are there ones who specialize in marketing specifically? I worry there’s buzzwords I should be focused on using

I'm new to marketing and I am not formally educated in it. I have just been learning through experience with the business. I'm supposed to put together a Market report for our sales team to refer to but I have been stuck on what I even include. I have an expensive subscription to a reporting database and I am supposed to translate these technical reports into 20-30 slides. I can't figure out if I am overthinking something simple or lacking some knowledge that people formally learn in school.
