What Our Job Seekers Say About Our Career Services
Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
I’m a big fan of cutting the fat out of resumes. In full transparency, I rarely read summaries, and I’m not that interested in reading several bullet points about the coordinator-level role you had 10 years ago if you’re applying for a Managing Director-level position. I’m not alone – the average recruiter and hiring manager are spending roughly six seconds scanning your resume before they decide whether or not to move forward. Yikes!
So how can you get a hiring manager’s attention quickly? Replace the “Summary” or “Profile” sections of your resume with a headline (directly under your name). The headline is an excellent way to QUICKLY frame your experience concerning the role by sharing your job title (or job function) along with some relevant areas of expertise. Here are some headlines for education professionals featuring either your job title or your job title + areas of expertise.
· Assistant Principal: School Leader OR Instructional Leader | Curriculum, Teacher Development, Data Analysis
· Fundraiser: Director of Development OR Fundraising Officer | Major Gifts, Events, Grant Management
· School Operations: K-12 Operations Director OR School Operations Manager | Transportation, Food, Master Scheduling
· Teacher Recruiter: Director of Recruitment OR K-12 Talent Acquisition Director | Recruiting, Referral Programming, Selection
My favorite aspect of the headline is you can (and should) tailor it for each role you apply to. You can change it to align more closely with the position you’re applying to (i.e., Director of Recruitment vs. K-12 Human Resources Director). I work with a lot of clients who have had experience across the education spectrum, and it’s an excellent way to frame the most relevant aspect of their knowledge for the jobs they’re applying to.
