Storytelling Strategy for Winding Career Paths

As my career clients emerge from our in-depth introspective process, invaluable insights inevitably flow.

Recruiters Recruit; Writers Write

By Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter Caroline, a resume client, recently asked me, “Why do recruiters have rules that would make a cool resume look just like everyone else’s?” I love the value that recruiters provide for job-seeking candidates, as well as passive candidates open to the idea of being lured from their existing role for a possibly […]

The Resume: Evolving, Not Dissolving

By Robert P. Poindexter “Guenther, go down and tell the men to go home. We’re done.” The look in the old man’s eyes told Guenther that some devastating news had just been relayed to him, and he hesitantly asked, “What’s happened, boss?” The old man raised the newspaper he had been hunched over and turned […]

Resume and social media issues abound: grabbing at cliches (e.g., “I’m a people person”), mirroring your colleagues’  content, shying away from touches of color, graphics, charts or graphs, avoiding the personal exposure you fear will occur if you sign up for social media accounts such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, VisualCV, Google, ZoomInfo, Fast Company, Brazen […]

For the Want of a Resume, a Career Was Lost

You may have heard this little ditty as a child, or perhaps some wise college professor referred to it at some time during your blurry-eyed, groggy-headed freshman year. It goes like this: For the want of a nail, a shoe was lost. For the want of a shoe, the horse was lost. For the want […]

Equipped to Climb the Ladder

By Rob Poindexter, Writer and Sailor “Wow,”  he thought to himself. The large indoor pool area looked immense as he stood there alone at the foot of the high dive.
