You're listening to life kit from NPR.
Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.
So new year, new you, new job.
I don't know, just throwing it out there.
If you're working, say, 40 hours a week, that is a huge part of your life.
It'd be good to like your job and also to get paid fairly for your work.
And there are circumstances where, you know, maybe you do like your job, but it's time for a change.
So on today's episode of Life Kit, we are going to help you update your resume.
This is something that career coach Cynthia Pong from embrace change says we should all be doing at least every six.
Months with everything that happens nowadays.
I mean, all of our brains are way overtaxed.
So even from a memory standpoint, it's great to refresh it every six months, even if you're not actively looking for anything.
Maybe January 23, you'll be at an event and meet the right person who'll tell you about a job opening.
And they'll be like, send me your resume.
You don't want to have to rush home and update it.
Then you want to be cool about it, collected.
Yeah, it's kind of one of those be ready so you don't have to get ready type of things.
Cynthia and I are going to talk about how to format your resume, how to write a summary at the top, what categories to put on there and what you can leave out.
We're going to bring you one step closer to that job you want.
Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.
