About this episode
This episode provides actionable steps for neurodivergent individuals to improve their resumes and tackle challenges like impostor syndrome.
Working on your resume can feel like watching paint dry. Neurodivergent brains have it even worse off than our neurotypical peers: Getting hung up on the words, formatting, it can take an hour just to jot down a paragraph or two. Then there's the impostor syndrome: What if recruiters don't like it, or the ATS just spits it out? This episode covers some actionable steps you can take to improve the content, formatting, and structure of your resume. If you're an autistic infodumper like me, have trouble focusing with ADHD, or struggle with formatting details or catching typos due to dyslexia, this is the episode for you.
