Find the pain / solve the pain.

| Listen to the Pain - You Can Do It! |
In my field, what you have done is far more important than where you went to school, so applicants need to focus on accomplishments.
Applicants should pay attention to the hiring manager's "pain points" in the job listing. Often, hiring managers are looking to solve a specific problem at their company, and they tend to list the biggest issues they want to solve near the top of the job description.
Applicants that highlight how they solved that pain at previous jobs with specific details, the applicant gains a leg up on the competition.
Give some job descriptions a read and see if you can feel their pain. How would you change your resume to address it? Let me hear it in the comments!
