Recently a colleague gave me some feedback on my LinkedIn profile that made me think about the Psychology of How we Show Up for Ourselves. Resumes are a place where we market our past experiences and future offerings. But in order to represent yourself well, you need to feel good about yourself. And the narrative in your mind is not necessarily a true representation or how others see you.
Writing about yourself can be uncomfortable. Strange because we can be articulate about other people’s accomplishments but when it comes to ourselves, it’s not easy! You need a coach, a second pair of eyes that has a different, non judgmental perspective. You will be surprised how good you feel about your accomplishments and excited about the direction you are going in.

Today is my daughter’s 21st birthday. This year she will be embarking on her first professional employment experience. Her experience will be so personal to me. I hope she learns a lot, feels challenged and I hope she gets trained (😊).

I also think about how standard professional norms have changed recently, how we are responding to the new norms now, and how they will continue to evolve with this generation of new workers. Not only is our work changing as we continue to innovate, but our mindset about work and work/life priorities are continuing to evolve as well. And it’s all happening now. The progress is exciting and positive. I look forward to watching my daughter and her cohorts navigate their employment experiences. And cannot believe I worked in a time where I had to compile 3/4 inch competitive reels.

Let me help you navigate your career. We’ll start with your resume. Please book your free consultation with me at olgasresumereview.com

During my time unemployed so far, I have invited new energy, new people, new experiences, new views and I have prioritized self care.

But sometimes a girl needs some retail therapy to help her remain optimistic! And with severance ending the struggle is real.

So I got creative (and desperate). I looked into all my credit cards with rewards programs and decided had the best options for gifting myself. I bought (my points bought) an awesome new coffee machine I always wanted. I got to indulge in my shopping addiction and my friends and family got to enjoy a good cup of coffee. I’ll call that a win in navigating unemployment!

I can help you navigate your job search too. Schedule a call to learn more about how I can help you write your resume and the next chapter of your career at olgasresumereview.com. ,

My goal during this time is to challenge myself to try things that would push my boundaries.

Sharing my personal job search journey and launching my Resume Review Consultancy have been two wins. Both were a leap and challenged me in different ways. And in week 8 of unemployment, the first time I have ever not worked this long since the age of 21, I am feeling accomplished. I am spending my time unemployed productively and have focused on leveraging my strengths and passions, as well as pushing myself to explore further.

With that, I’d like to announce the official launch of my consulting practice, Resume Review. olgasresumereview.com.

I bring my skills as a talent acquisition specialist, with over 20 years of guiding candidates and business partners. My practice provides one-on-one resume consultations and unlimited draft reviews, with different levels of service. It’s easy, fast and personal. I am focused on both professionals of all levels and college grads.

Zero irons in the fire, but a whole lot of support from past colleagues and friends. It feels amazing to know that people care, they really do. I realized that there are a lot of ups and downs while job searching when you are unemployed. There are many highs and lows and the trick is to keep your mental health stable.

Keeping busy is the most important thing. And that does not mean sitting in front of the computer all day. It means scheduling each day with a mix of work and life. I am proud that I pushed myself to try something new, out of my comfort zone. I am a “pickleballer” now! Thought I’d leave a fun picture here before everyone takes off for the long weekend. 👇

I’d love to support you in your job search. The first thing you need to do is update your resume. Set up some time with me to learn about my individualized Resume Review process. https://lnkd.in/etmjMD_h

The idea of adjacent jobs has come up in conversations lately. The market is a tricky thing right now and there are so many people laid off. Need to get creative. Can I be flexible and find something adjacent to what I have been doing? The quest for the answer was quite enlightening.
I allowed myself to begin exploring what it would feel like to have career choices, and to let my brain flow freely with wonderful ideas of what kind of work would be fulfilling and would still pay my bills. I have a few ideas of what I can pursue but it opened me up to the idea of something I would have been very hesitant to do - start something of my own. Resume Review was born many years ago as a a few favors. Now it’s my focus, my sanity and my happy place.
