Voices from the Field
“Make sure those titles are accurate, but also exemplify the work that you did.
Some professionals have imposter syndrome and they really don't go into
detail about things that they accomplished.”
- Stephanie McGrew, Assistant Director for the Department for Diversity & Inclusion, A.T. Still University of Health Services
“When I go to job fairs or do a career counseling session, I’ll ask you point blank,
“Are you using the same exact resume for every position you apply to?”
Typically the answer is yes. The job seeker is going to struggle when
they do that. Job seekers need to tailor the resume to each position
they’re going to apply to, specifically addressing those qualifications.”
- Adam Potter, Senior HR Specialist, University of Iowa
