Resume Writer?

Google general buzzwords used in your industry to put on our resume. Also dedicating a portion of your resume to emphasizing "soft skills" like problem-solving, adaptability, patience. (These are ones I put on my resume. I work in child-care but I imagine they're pretty applicable across most jobs)

Also it couldn't hurt to ask your past interviewers or any interviews that may reject you in the future (Not that I hope they do, I wish the best for you!) for feedback. It may be a little embarrassing but if you're willing to muster up the humility they might give you some insight.

I did this and while I wasn't doing anything wrong in my interview, I was told it seemed like my focus on my resume/in the interview leaned toward one aspect of the job - working with kids- and not so much like I was prepared for other aspects of the job -collaborating with other staff/educators- nothing I said/did overtly said I was bad at working with others. I just didn't put enough emphasis on it. After re-wording my resume and interview talking points to emphasize that a little more, I had a much easier time landing a job. We work in different fields with different demands, but I feel the sentiment of asking for feedback and keeping all potential job tasks in mind is still helpful.
