A few tips when applying that could help you be successful in securing a phone interview{{:}}

• Make sure that your resume tells your unique story.
• Most resumes don’t tell a story, they are lists of job duties and read like a job description. Don’t send us your job description. Tell us how you added value to the role. Here are some good examples of what we are looking for on a resume{{:}}
  • Cold called 40 prospects per day
  • Hit and exceeded quota for 11 out of 12 months last year
  • Led the team in closed deals.
• A job description resume doesn’t tell a story. They list job duties. Here are some examples of what we are not looking for on a resume{{:}}
  • Outbound Sales
  • Prospecting
  • Scheduled demos
• Create a format that is easy to follow along. Your most recent experience should be at the top. Do not write long paragraphs, use bullet points.
• The resume itself should be in .pdf or .doc format. If the resume was formatted by Indeed, AI, or another source that was not you, it may decrease your chances in moving forward in our process.
• We want to learn as much as we can about you, so don't try to minimize your experience to fit on one page if it doesn't allow enough room to include all your experience. The length of the resume depends on how much experience you have so if your resume is one page, great! 2 pages, also great!
