“All the advice you’ve ever gotten about writing a resume was great 10 years ago, but it’s wrong now. You want to write your resume for the robots. You are not writing for humans anymore.” - Ian Siegel
Ian Siegel is the co-founder and CEO of ZipRecruiter, an online employment marketplace. Ian has helped millions of job seekers get hired. His new book Get Hired Now was written to give job seekers step-by-step instructions to get hired now. Not later, not next year, but follow his instructions and you could be looking at job offers instead of cat pictures on the internet.
Cats have a way of getting into everything. Including this interview with a CEO. Stick around for the end of this episode and you'll get to hear the CEO of ZipRecruiter mention how a cat interruption to your job interview could be the best possible thing to happen to you.
