Destinee, an ambitious techie that never settles

Destinee, an ambitious techie that never settles2KId say the best way to describe myself would be outdoorsy homebody because while I absolutely love being outside enjoying this states gorgeous nature, theres really nothing I love mora than cozying up at home with my cat Binge, listening to a good podcast (shoutout to Lady to Lady).I worked at a local brewery pub through college so I know my way around a craft beer list but Im also a bit of a tech-nerd, well really just a nerd overall but technology is one of my favorite things to geek out over. I have my dad to thank for that as hes spent the last 20+ years of his career in the SaaS industry as a ausverkauf Engineer and never failed to share his contagious enthusiasm about the newest tech innovation with me.All-in-all I feel pretty lucky to be in what I consider to be one of the most beautiful states that now has one of the most flourishing tech markets. The sun here is strong and the winters are harshbut theres something about being a mile high that just makes beer taste betterWhat was the reason you created your resume?I found myself in an expected situation at my former organization and realized I needed to begin looking for something better. I was actually hired at my previous job without even filling out an application and was offered a punkt within 20 minutes of being interviewed by the CEO.Obviously, that wasnt normal and should have been my first clue to run. Being a young and eager new graduate, however, made me believe I just mustve been that lucky As time went on, more and more unsettling things began to reveal themselves and I casually started exploring other options.Related articlesWhat recruiters look for in a resume at a first glanceAce your next interview with the correct body languageHow to use volunteer experience to make your resume stand outI knew that this time around landing the perfect job would not be nearly as easy and in Denvers booming tech industry, I needed to put my best foot forwa rd stand out from the hundreds of other resumes companies would be sorting through.Enhancvs platform allowed me to do just thatWhat do you like about Enhancv? Did you learn anything from it?First of all, my Enhancv resume got a lot of positive comments from a number of hiring managers I was interviewed by, mainly on the impressive aesthetic. Many of my friends pointed out that being able to highlight accomplishments and strengths up front is a big differentiator seeing that most resumes are simply a list of previous positions with a short bio on top.One of my friends who majored in Graphic Design told me that it was the most impressive resume design she had seen and actually went on your platform just recently to create her own resume, now that she is on the job huntAnd what do I love about Enhancv?First of all, it helped me get my new job Also, its extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate. It didnt take more than 30 minutes to create a great resume. I could use the templates p rovided to guide the creation process. The tips that pop up once you start filling each section in help so much. You never get that What should I write here kind of situation.I could also customize my resume as much as I wanted to ensure it would be unique. When I finished crafting my resume on the Enhancv app, for the first time it felt like my resume actually reflects who I am as an individual and simultaneously, it looks cooler and sleeker than any resume Ive created beforeWhat message would you send to other job seekers out there?Never settle. Never settle because the job hunt feels too overwhelming and accepting the first offer you get spares you the stress of looking for a job that will fulfill you.Never settle just because youve been on the hunt for what feels like too long and you just want a job, any job.Never settle just because you dont think youre qualified, experienced or worthy enough of your dream job.Never settle because no matter how chaotic, draining, or ego-shredd ing the job hunt can feel right now, you deserve better. That perfect fit does exist, keep pushing.I would like to thank Destinee for sharing her experience with us. It means a lot and we hope it will motivate many others to get started and upgrade to more human-centric and performance-based resumes.If youd like to contribute to Enhanced Lives series and share your achievements with others, send me a message.
