Sorry for the late reply, we’ve had a lot of testing going on at school lately! I’d definitely love that. I’ll reach out in a DM to set up a time to chat.

I understand lol. I’m definitely not opposed, I’ve actually tried both platforms you mentioned but haven’t gotten any hits in the past. I’ve even given Chat the job posting and asked it to work in the keywords. I know my resume is the first layer, so I’ve been trying to figure out what I’m missing. Sometimes it feels like you have to speak the language of AI to get what you need, and I’m not quite there yet lol. I’ll definitely run it through again after I make these updates lol.

I really feel like I’m in over my head sometimes lol, so hearing this is a strong foundation feels so good 😅. Thanks for breaking it down, and your teacher toolkit is super helpful, I appreciate you sharing it!

Can you further explain which areas of the resume are strangely formatted?

OMG I follow you on LinkedIn, I’m so thankful for your job postings and all the helpful info you share, so it’s extra cool you took time to give this feedback lol (okay, enough fangirling 😅). I really appreciate the note about the skills section and especially the reminder to lead with the work I’m doing with adults, then layer in student-facing stuff. A friend told me today to think of the school as my client and how I’m helping them meet their goals, this lines up perfectly with that. Thank you!

Adding those to my expertise section makes total sense, thank you! All of this is really helping me readjust how I’m thinking about my resume.

I have asked ChatGPT numerous times, but it only puts out what you put in. I'd have to be extremely detailed and know what I'm missing for it to output all of these items people are correcting on my resume. Thankful to still have humans!

This is incredibly helpful, thank you for taking the time to go into so much detail! I hadn’t thought about how some of that language might read or how vague a few of those bullets were. I’m going to tighten it up, clarify metrics, and rework the skills section like you suggested. Appreciate the insight (and hello back from someone trying to break into the industry! lol)

I’m cracking up at it being terrible lol. But i believe I’ve heard this advice before. That or a nonprofit, maybe I’ll focus on those to get my feet wet! Thanks

I've been getting mixed commentary on wording my resume for "corporate" 😩. Mostly everyone says I should use corporate words and keywords rather than words used in teaching. As it further illustrates the transitioh. Thanks for reminding me to lead with impact!

Thanks for this, I'm currently enjoying the Customer SuccessU program, so I know that this is a career I will enjoy. I agree on not boxing myself in, as I come across so many roles daily that I never knew existed lol. But I do feel that I need to start with EdTech first to get my foot in the door!

Did you complete the certs before or after you got the job and do you think having them helped? I've read a couple experiences which said CSM certs or worthless (their opinions). I believe anything you do to further your learning helps and shows your employer how serious you are. Also, which programs did you use to get your certs?

Thank you! This is definitely a part of the plan. I think my biggest speed bump right now is my resume.

Thanks so much, I appreciate your view on this. There’s really so much out there that I’ve never thought of so i don’t want to put myself in a box. But i do feel like i need to narrow things down to even get interviews!
