College of DuPage Career Services

Listen to this episode to learn how to connect your resume to each opportunity as you apply by tailoring it to the job posting and each organization's needs. The best way to get noticed is to make sure it is easy for the employer to connect your skills and experience to the specific job. Also listen to our listener mail to learn about how to create a resume when you have been out of the workforce for several years, but are now moving to a new field. 

Topic #1: Michelle answers a listener question submitted to careerpodcast@cod.edu.   

“I was listening to the podcast that was published on April 2 and mostly the discussion included persons that were out of work due to caring for a relative or layoff for extended time. What is your advice for a person that has been employed for the past 10 years but now is moving into another field of career that isn’t the same as the job that they are applying for. How would a person address this in a resume and cover letter?” 

Topic #2: Rebecca talks about how to connect your resume to each opportunity as you apply by tailoring it to the job posting and each organization's needs.
