2: I.T. Resume & Interview Tips for Success

Most resume advice from the internet is subjective since there is no “one-size-fits-all.” I had a discussion with Arif Khan from itLIFER YouTube Channel and we talked about his advice from 20+ years in the I.T career field. Maybe you are discouraged by the lack of attention your resume is getting? Do you have a hard time pinpointing your strengths and highlighting your accomplishments? Maybe you’ve always landed jobs through word of mouth and now you need your resume to do the heavy lifting for you. Well, this is the video for you.
