Ok sleep-deprived mom here who is desperately ready to leave her toxic agency. I’m trying to get my resume together...joy...and wanted to ask the account and/or strategy folks what resume format seems to be the most impactful. Traditional? A creatively-designed format? I’d really appreciate the input. Thanks ahead.

No one is going to judge you for having a traditional resume, but you can have fun if you want.

I did some research after being laid off:
- word doc file works best if you apply directly on a company’s website.
- make sure the keywords match with the role you’re applying to, this may seem obvious but sometimes you’re saying the same thing with different words and your resume never makes it to a human.
Those two things made a difference and I did get a few interviews at some of the big places with just my resume (didn’t know anyone on the inside), and I was trying for client-side but didn’t work out due to location.
As for template, clean, minimalistic style with some flare works. Don’t need to get all fancy!
I landed a pretty good job afterwards, so it’s the interview what counts most! The people who hired me hadn’t even taken a close look at my resume

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.
