Joanna Bloor is brilliant and I'm not surprised that she recommended the 2nd question. My @chatgpt response was insightful! Here's a snippet of the response: "From what you've shared, I would say that you do convey a lot of positivity and empowerment in your posts and writing. However, it’s possible that the full depth of your intentions—your commitment to building meaningful connections and helping others thrive—may not always come through as strongly as you intend." Now THAT was insightful. The suggestion went on with some ways that I can highlight my value proposition even more. WOW! Now, if I don't take advantage of this I may miss out on missing opportunities to share and connect....and grow my business! Thank you, Joanna Bloor!!!!

In today's competitive job market, how you present your skills can make or break your chances of landing that dream role. Forget the old-school functional resume that groups your experience into broad categories. While it might seem logical, it often raises red flags for hiring managers and ATS systems alike. Instead, embrace the Skills and Accomplishments-Based format. It works by front-loading your most relevant skills and achievements, it catches the recruiter's eye in those crucial first 7-9 seconds and showcases how you're the perfect fit for the role. Your resume isn't about listing everything you've ever done – it's about highlighting how you can solve the employer's problems. Want more connection tips?
