In this episode, I sit down with Angela Priest to talk about some of the most common mistakes we see in resumes and CVs. We dive into why tailoring your application to the job is so important and how a resume isn’t just a list of accomplishments - it’s a tool to get you an interview.

We also chat about how to communicate your skills clearly, especially when transitioning from academia to industry. Many PhDs struggle to explain their experience in a way that makes sense to hiring managers, and Angela shares some great tips on how to highlight your qualifications in a way that gets noticed.

If you’ve been sending out resumes and not hearing back, this episode is for you! 🎧
