Sign up for VisualCV and create a one-page resume using the guidelines in the bulleted below. You can also use my resume for inspiration. :::
-
Here is what makes this resume more effective than traditional resumes:
- The two-column format makes it easy for hiring managers to scan.
- It uses testimonials from my previous managers for social proof.
- Employer names link out to pages like this that elaborate on my experience.
- Many accomplishments link out to live projects I’ve completed.
- I add direct links to samples of my work.
- Most importantly, I focus on end results rather than soft skills.:star:

:::success Action Step
-
Apply to some remote jobs you added to your job tracking sheet using this idea-first cover letter template. :::
-
This type of cover letter leads with original, specific ideas about how you’d improve the company. It takes more time to create but increases your chances of getting an interview.
-
come up with two ideas. Maybe not great ideas, but that’s okay. What matters is that you’re differentiating yourself from other applicants.
-
This is a show vs tell situation. For instance, an idea-first cover letter shows you are a creative thinker. It’s more powerful than saying “I’m a creative thinker.” Also shows you took time to research the company, which is important.

another real cover letter example (but it's a bit too long )
:::success Action Step
-
Create a generic cover letter using mine as inspiration.
-
Create an Indeed resume (i.e. Indeed profile) and apply to remote jobs that allow you to quick-apply with your Indeed resume.
-
Complete your LinkedIn profile (here is mine) and apply to jobs with the Easy Apply option. :::
-
Don’t add jobs you quick-apply to to your tracking sheet unless you 1) create a custom cover letter and/or 2) receive an interview request from the hiring manager. Not adding every job you quick-apply to to your tracking will save you some time.
