What song does your resume sing?

6/24/2018

 
Page Kemna, a graduate of University of Denver, landed a position with Zoom Video Communications shortly after posting an original, singing resume titled "Hire Me!!" that demonstrated her creative bent and quirky sense of humor.  Her YouTube video went viral, garnering the attention of LinkedIn users and national media.

What song does your resume sing? Is your resume a mournful job obituary or a vibrant, upbeat tune that conveys the heart of your personal brand? 
  • Does your resume position you for the next step in your career path?
  • Have you expressed your authenticity, purpose, and value in the first few lines of your resume? 
  • Is your content focused on the employer's needs?
  • How can you help a company grow and succeed?
  • What makes you a business rock star?
  • Do the lyrics to your career song convey your integrity, initiative, and influence?

To gain the attention of recruiters and hiring managers, let your achievements take center stage. 
Soon, you'll be singing all the way to the bank!

P.S. If you enjoyed Page's song,  comment on how her video brightened your day on YouTube.
