1. Have a friend who is good at writing and doesn’t work at your company read your resume line by line to identify if each line conveys impact. If not, explain what you did in plain English until you can uncover the impact
2. Write your recommenders an outline to frame their letters. Highlight 3 strengths that best align with the values of your top programs and give them the language to describe how you demonstrate that. Don’t hold back from being extremely enthusiastic
3. Write a different essay for each school. Your essay should be tailored to the schools values AND their growth/focus areas. For example HBS is doubling down on entrepreneurship and is pleased with how that’s taken off. Mention school-specific programs, professors, etc to show you’ve done your research, e.g., if going with the entrepreneurship narrative for HBS, rock fellows, startup Bootcamp, etc.
4. Just hire me instead ;)

Loved Maria at Applicant Lab!

Not at all! I loved it actually. Rewatched a bunch as I went so I could keep sense checking my app as it evolved. She’s also super honest and funny so I enjoyed the recordings 😅

I did find her super responsive on email for follow-up Qs, FWIW

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA. I have been researching and learning and what I found out was to switch career minimum; needed is education (first not not certification to show you have practiced new skills). This will lead to new skill sets which will lead into more experience.

Looking for tips. College was not for me while I was young.

I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
