make your resume a confidence booster.

We often have to work on our resumes when things get shaky, which makes us unfairly mad at them.

But resumes are actually great. They’re like a mini biography of your career, and you get to highlight whatever matters most to you.

Sure, updating it might feel like a chore, but it’s a confidence booster in disguise. And who doesn’t love a little extra confidence?

I had a wonderful client working on her resume the other day, and listening to her finally acknowledge her huge impact on her teams and projects made my whole day.

Your resume isn’t just a boring list of jobs and companies. It’s your chance to share your story in a way that feels authentically like you.

You get to show off what you’ve learned, the value you bring, and all the things you’ve made happen. It’s basically your personal impact highlights reel.

It’s also a great chance to reflect on where you’ve been—and where you’re going.

So next time you sit down to update your resume, maybe, just maybe, you’ll feel a little more excited and proud of yourself.
