Coming soon . . . job applications, resumes, interviews, and . . . competition for it all.    

Here are 3 methods to help them stand out.

Fast Forward.  Now imagine a room with a desk.  In the chair sits someone reviewing your child's resume, or perhaps it's an interview.  Across on the other side of the table sits your child.

Are they ready?  Have they done something the interviewer will spot?  Have they learned to even recognize their accomplishments?  

Your "almost grown" child needs to learn to Stand OUT.  

What's not seen in that room?  There might be countless others vying for the same thing.  

Now come back to the present.  Your child is building their brand, their story, their resume so to speak - right...

 Your Teen Needs to Know How to Stand OUT on Paper - NOT Just Face-to-Face!

Does your teen know how to stand out on paper or digitally - and NOT just for an interview? 

Without a method, standing out can be challenging.   Often success lives and dies in that few starting seconds on paper.  

Thankfully, there is a method to standing out that offers so much more than you'd ever thought possible and it's everywhere - or so it seems.  You just need to know where to look for contests.  That's why today's podcast is so important.  

In this podcast we will talk about:

• the multiple ways to enter and use contests
• why it doesn't matter whether they win or lose 
• what to look for in contests
• what to look for in contests and hope not to find
• 2 contests that illustrate all the above

Hidden benefits of resumes using digital techniques?

Where to begin?  Digital resumes are easy to tailor and modify to each recipient.  A more traditional version can be extrapolated as needed.  Our young adults often have technical skills needed to make an impressive resume.  And, don't forget this . . . you probably already have video clips and photos perfect for this new resume revolution.  

Self-Confidence

If I could shout this one benefit from the rooftops, it...

Zoom and Google Hangouts. Telephones on our wrists. AirBnb.  Taxi vs. Uber vs. Lyft.   Movies played on nearly everything you own.  Turn your house off and on miles from home,

and. . .

A Resume Revolution.  

With today's current challenges, everything seems upside down.  But one thing that each teen can do is prepare their resume - in the new digital age.

We grew up with paper resumes.   Those word-heavy depressing things.  Are they as effective these days?  Not so much.   Paper resumes still have their place, but to stand out?  Go virtual.  You knew this addition/change was coming. 

With today's current challenges, everything seems upside down.  But one thing that each teen can do is prepare their resume - in the new digital age.
