Ep 17: How Do You Craft A Resume That Gets You Noticed & Hired? with Brian Robben

September 18, 2015

How do you create the "perfect resume?"
 
A recruiter gets hundreds of resumes a day and takes approximately 10 seconds to look at each one, how can you make yours stand out? How do you be different and stand out of the crowd?
 
As a college freshman, Brian Robben was rejected from a ton of different job positions including Google, The While House, and the NFL. He had no idea why, it seemed like he was doing everything correct.
 
It wasn't until he started devoting tons of hours into research on how to craft a "golden" resume. After many revisions, job offers started to go through the roof. Brian started to get more responses back, scheduled job interviews, and more opportunities.
 
His friends started to notice.
 
"Brian, what the hell did you do to become so "successful?"
 
Instead of saying the same answer to everyone, he started his own blog called TakeYourSuccess helping people achieve their professionals goals. Demand got to the point where he had to write his first ever book, The Golden Resume, to share what has worked for him and many others.
