Hello, Star Players! This week, we're unlocking a treasure from our career consultation vault to help you navigate the "September Surge." The September Surge is the annual spike in hiring activity that occurs after Labor Day. With budgets and hiring plans finalized, many companies are eager to fill open roles before the end of the year, making this a prime time for job seekers to get noticed.

To help you land your next big opportunity, here are a few key pointers inspired by our previous resume workshop:

Focus on Impact Statements: Don't just copy and paste job descriptions into your resume. Instead, focus on highlighting your accomplishments with "impact statements" that show the value you brought to your previous roles.
Keep it Concise: For most professionals, a one-page resume is best. A two-page resume is more acceptable for those with more than 10 years of experience.
The Power of a Well-Organized Resume: While a "fancy design" might grab attention, a well-organized, strategically spaced, and carefully formatted resume is what truly wins over recruiters.
Be Strategic with Your Cover Letter: A cover letter can be crucial, especially if you're making a career switch, relocating, or need to explain gaps in your employment history. Use it as a narrative to sell yourself and highlight how your perspective can add value.

Before we go, remember: "Never question your presence in a room you were invited into." Once you get the call back, don’t question whether you’re qualified. Now is the time to apply for those roles you've been eyeing, and the CCC Tiny Book of Affirmations can help you stay confident throughout the process.

All my best,

-Ariel
