I turned my “maternity break” into resume bullet points. And realised I was underselling this phase the whole time.
when it comes to writing maternity leave on resume, we reduce all of this into words that sounds closer to rest than responsibility.
As any mother would know, maternity "break" is hardly that. In fact, it's quite opposite of that. This phase requires you to step up several notches, while still recovering and finding your feet.
book publishers who want to charge lots of money for exposure to fine new authors is absolutely a great place for a line to be drawn. not much different from concert ticketholders furious that singers were lip syncing some years back.
the whole point of art, music, and literature is that humans love to do these things. The only reason AI would be injected into these topics is for profit-driven purposes, which is a dumb purpose. The job of the robots was always supposed to be, boring, repetitive tasks. Coding, washing dishes, folding laundry. So far we have one of those three checked off.
We launched a Markdown resume builder called ResumeyPro (https://resumey.pro/) as a side project in 2020. It has been consistently generating revenue with barely any active marketing from our side. Most of the revenue is via organic search.
For the other points:
Firstly, I would say personalizing your application for the role you are applying for really helps. Sometimes students fresh out of college mention a ton of skills on their resumes that they only have an idea about. That wouldn't really help unless you can really contribute. Write only those skills that you're confident about and have some projects to back your claims.
Secondly, connect with people within the company that you're applying for - they needn't be the direct hiring manager but anyone who can give you some reference, some insights would really help you get an edge over the other candidates. You can find folks on LinkedIn, Twitter or other public platforms to connect.
Connecting to people already working in the company really helps. Pitch yourself to them and they might agree to provide you with an internal referral: it's an excellent way to jump the queue in the hiring pipeline.
Referrals are (or should be--I know some will refer any and all for the referral bonus) really intended to refer someone you have some first-hand experience with. I'm going to refer someone out of the blue to the company job site.
Despite having the right skills, your resume may be ‘weeded out’ at the screening stage. With Resumey.Pro, design beautiful resumes that help you stand out from the crowd.
