Fall is always a busy time in hiring, which makes September a great time to jumpstart your job search. If you are considering a change, you’ll want to watch the blog as we tackle a different aspect of the job search process each week throughout September. Last week we started where your search should: networking. This week we’ll address application materials.

Today’s Video of the Week contemplates a more holistic view of your application materials. They shouldn’t simply recite your experience and the last several jobs you held; they should work together to create the best marketing materials for you, reflecting your life experience and your abilities, in addition to your work experience. In today’s video, Jason Shen discusses why it’s important to look beyond your work experiences.
