130. Amy Adler - Executive Resume Writer
This Week on People in Transition
We are excited to welcome Amy Adler, a nationally recognized expert in career strategy and executive branding. As President of Five Strengths Career Transition Experts, Amy has earned a reputation for guiding professionals through some of the most pivotal moments in their careers. Her expertise in creating powerful résumés and compelling career portfolios has helped countless clients stand out in highly competitive job markets.
In our conversation, Amy shares practical strategies and real-world insights, including:
- A client success story: how she helped someone move from hundreds of unanswered applications to applying to <10 jobs and earning interviews on 50% of his outreach, one of which yielded the right job offer—by focusing on what he really wanted and what he was really good at.
- Why LinkedIn is more than just a networking site—it’s a powerful research tool if you know how to use it.
- How being an introvert doesn’t mean being shy, and why clearly communicating your strengths is essential in a job search.
- The real purpose of informational interviews (and what they are not)—and how internal advocacy in the company you’re targeting is crucial.
- The importance of identifying exactly where you’re getting stuck in the job search process—rather than trying to “fix everything” (or, worse, the wrong thing).
