The Résumé Myth: How It Can Hurt School Counselors, and What to Do Instead

January 19, 2023 • School for School Counselors • Season 1 • Episode 5

Interviewing for jobs is scary and the unknowns of the process are unsettling: not knowing what you're going to be walking into, not knowing the questions that you're going to be asked, not knowing what the outcomes are going to be.

As a result, it is common for folks to overemphasize and overcomplicate the creation of their résumé because it gives the FEELING of control in the job search process.

School counselor friend, if you're under the impression that your résumé is paramount to your chances of getting your school counseling job, or if you feel that endlessly revising and tweaking your résumé is the only way that you can have control over your job interview process, you've got to change your perspective- NOW!
