Let’s create a knockout resume together!

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hi, Reader!

So now that you know why you need a resume, it’s important to understand what goes into writing a great one.

There are a few important pieces to putting together an impactful resume, and I’ve included them all in my video course and companion guide, “ResuMEH to ResumYAY.”

(OK, so I might not be the best at writing catchy course titles, but you can bet the content in the course is can’t-miss stuff.)

Here’s just a sampling of what I’ve included in the course:

  • My best-kept secrets for impressing readers with killer accomplishments.
  • Insider tips on what you can (and can't) list as activities
  • Strategies for organizing your activities for maximum impact
  • Insights on how you can use your resume for more than just college applications
  • The one thing you can add to your resume to instantly capture the reader's attention
  • Strategies for amping up a resume when you don't have a lot of activities

And to help get your resume finished, I’ve included all the resources you need, including:

  • Templates for a resume and a cover letter to your recommendation letter writers
  • A list of nearly 500 amazing action verbs to strengthen your application
  • A list of extracurricular activities you might’ve forgotten about
  • Access to dozens of volunteer services opportunities — many of which you can do from home
  • A list of hard and soft skills you can include
  • And so much more!

The special launch price of $67 will be available for just a few more days — until 11:59 p.m. on March 20. Then, the price will go to $127.

Whether you’re a freshman who just wants to start documenting your activities now or a junior who will be asking teachers for letters of recommendation in just a few weeks, I promise this course will make things easier. Get your access now!

Happy Resume Writing,

Julia

Hi, Reader! Today I want to do a little 3-2-1 game with you so we can get to know each other a little better. Ready? Let's go! 3 things going well in life right now: I'm getting ready to head down to Miami to pack up my daughter to bring her home for the summer. Thank goodness for CollegeBoxes. They pick up her moving boxes right from her dorm room and then deliver them to our front door. (Then they do the same thing in reverse in the fall.) Definitely simplifies moving — check them out to...

Hi, Reader! May (and summer vacation!) are just around the corner, and things are ramping up.

Hi, Reader! It’s April 16, and do you know what that means? Either you were on the ball and filed your taxes yesterday and you’re breathing a sigh of relief today, or you’re like my household and didn’t quite get everything done like we’d hoped and had to file an extension. The years we have to file an extension in my household drive me crazy. We get the materials in January, and I try to get most of it uploaded. But then time gets away from us and BOOM. We’re up against a deadline and...
