Resume review

Hello everyone,

hope everyone is well. As my previous post, I got laid off due to a work decrease and I used this time to complete my Google Data Analytics Certification. I completed the program yesterday and had updated my resume and would like to ask if anyone can review it for me before I start my job hunting this week. file:///C:/Users/badat/Downloads/BaMariama_Resume.pdf

Thank you,

Happy to but the link isn’t working. Perhaps you can try a google drive url? Also are you open to public feedback here or would rather do this over DM? The first option might be helpful for someone but I understand if it doesn’t make you comfortable:)
hello,This is an updated link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CrpTG6rli8WZwqTlm31UW0j4eSNLAMpjD3dMKZDxIJU/edit?usp=sharing. Public or Private is fine with me. Thank you
Hey Mariama! What kind of roles are you looking for so we can provide more tailored feedback when reviewing your resume?
I am looking for Data Analyst or Data related positions.
Hi @mariamaba, I find that most people overindex on their job search materials when its just a small component of the job search itself. Here are my best pieces of guidance on how to succeed in job search:- Get support from a coach to edit your strong materials, and then ensure you know how/where else to spend time wisely in job search- Determine what support system you have in place to help you be effective throughout your job search -- Most people feel they have to go it alone and end up guessing where to spend their time versus leveraging a coach, mentor, peer or other tools and resources to be strategic- Determine your accountability plan to make sure you're staying on top of your goals & staying organized- Reflect on how things are going on a weekly basis to iterate & improve your approach and thus your outcomes-Be sure not to approach the job in a transactional, check-the-box sort of way -- see networking and interviews as a mirror into the job you would land and an opportunity for two-way assessment of fit- Consider how many roles/industries you're applying to-- this may be a sign that you'd want to take a step back and pursue career exploration to clarify your ideal fit direction; career clarity will help make your search more efficient, targeted, and effective- Don't ignore your self care to ensure your mindset is staying resilient during your searchBTW, I'm Rachel, a Career Exploration Coach, and I'm happy to chat further if you'd like!
