You’ve sent out dozens of applications, but the interviews just aren’t coming.

You know you have the experience, the skills, and the drive—so why aren’t hiring managers reaching out?

A generic, outdated resume and an underwhelming LinkedIn profile won’t cut it in today’s job market.

With applicant tracking systems (ATS) filtering candidates before a human even sees your resume, and recruiters checking LinkedIn before making a call, it’s easy to get overlooked, even if you’re more than qualified.

That’s why we’re bringing in Danielle Cobo for our next episode of Beauty Talent Talk Live!

As a former hiring manager and now executive coach, she’s helped countless professionals transform their resumes and LinkedIn profiles to attract the right opportunities.

She’ll share exactly what works, what doesn’t, and how you can position yourself as the top candidate.

Here’s what we cover:

• How the Applicant Tracking System process impacts your job search.

• What a competitive resume looks like today’s competitive job market.

• The must-have elements for both your resume and LinkedIn profile.

• Proactive job search strategies that put you ahead of the competition.

• What hiring managers look for when selecting top talent.
