Due to the pandemic, I know that finding a career in the event planning/event coordinator area would be very hard. I still have hope and search for various jobs on LinkedIn and came across an Executive Assistant position at the University Of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center that very much caught my attention. After reading the job description I felt like I would be a perfect fit for the job as my application wouldn’t be a waste of time because I felt like I met quite the criteria for this position. My feelings sure enough changed as I used the Job Scan site to do a comparison with my resume vs the job description. Although my resume sets a very positive tone, my results state that I would very much need to cater to each job when applying for each position. There were a couple of skill words that would have stood out had I implied them throughout my resume. I would like to focus on adding more achievements and appropriate job titles to grab the attention of more than one role. In order for me to achieve my goals, I’d like to take into consideration the length of my resume. Instead of it being a page and a half I’d like to make the appropriate adjustments to fill it up to a full two pages. I found myself at 20% but after I apply the small changes I feel like my resume will be equipped for the job.
