Is it worth it to hire a job coach/resume writer? I’m struggling to put my actual role into words (especially for resume purposes).

How was the role described to you when you took the job? Have you checked the linkedin profiles of other people at your agency or other agencies who have a role similar to yours? Do you know a friendly industry headhunter who can help?

I found it helpful to google sample resumes for my role & look at job listings I'm interested in so I can mimic some of those keywords (this makes it more ATS-friendly & can increase the chances of it getting seen). You should be slightly adjusting your resume each time anyways to match the job description when applying.

I reference job descriptions of jobs I would consider applying for and if the skills they require are good descriptions of something I can do, I borrow them.

Look at job description for what you want, and if you’ve done it say “Responsible for x”

If they list something like Prisma experience say did (responsibility in JD) within Prisma

Rewrote your roll so that it looks good for the next roll you want. Not saying to lie. Saying you can use language that’s I’ll make your current roll look more directly appealing to the roll you’re after.

I could see how a resume writer or one time consultant could be useful. I haven’t used one, but I did have a friend (also a strategist who turned recruiter) review it and she gave me excellent feedback since she knew both sides of the equation.

I randomly get a call from the recruiter telling me there is now a TWO YEAR reapply policy in place so I'm not eligible to interview for any PM roles until Dec. 2022. Anyone ever heard of this policy? Seems strange
