The Career Coach: Mastering Resumes and Interviews
After 23 years in corporate project management, Wendy Alexander now coaches people through the two documents that gate every career move: the resume and the interview. Most people get both wrong in the same fixable ways.
Wendy's founder story — from corporate PM to Happy Career Hub — gives her advice a practitioner's edge: she's hired, been hired, and rewritten hundreds of resumes that weren't saying what their owners thought they said. The recurring fault: describing duties instead of demonstrating impact.
We cover resume mechanics that actually move the needle, how to prepare for interviews so nerves have less to grab, and the mindset shift from 'please pick me' to a two-way evaluation. Immediately useful for anyone moving — or thinking about moving.
