How to make your resume impactful? Everybody wants to develop their resume in a way…

Fake it till You Make it: Looking Like a CEO

January 20, 2020

Your resume is your ticket to the new job. But success at the interview table (and even at the new job later) depends on more than just the resume that you carry. Besides nonverbal cues like how we stand or how firm we shake another person’s hand, one of the biggest indicators of confidence and success is how we look.
