A resume is not a career biography. It’s a marketing tool designed to earn an interview. Yet many qualified dietitians unknowingly undersell themselves by documenting everything they’ve done instead of strategically positioning themselves for the role they want. While much of today’s resume advice focuses on formatting, templates, and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), the resumes that earn interviews clearly communicate value, relevance, and fit.
In this interactive session, attendees will learn how recruiters actually evaluate resumes, what truly influences interview decisions, and which common resume myths deserve to be retired. Through recruiter insights, audience activities, live resume critiques, and practical examples, participants will discover how to position their experience more strategically, tailor resumes efficiently, and communicate accomplishments in a way that stands out to both recruiters and Applicant Tracking Systems.
Participants will leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply to improve their resumes and increase their confidence during the job search.
