How to Write a Resume That Stands Out
20 Dec 2023
---
📋 Check out an example resume here: https://hbr.org/2022/05/how-to-write-a-resume-that-will-stand-out
Writing a resume has always been hard. How do you condense all of your experience into one page (or even fill out one page if you've just graduated)? How do you make it look good, but still easily readable? Now, with the introduction of applicant tracking systems (aka the bots that scan your resume), the resume writing process has become even more challenging.
But thankfully, there are some ways to make your resume work for you. I talked to Kristi DePaul, CEO of Founders and a personal branding expert, about how to make my resume stand out. She taught me exactly what to do to get my resume past the bots, into the hands of a hiring manager, and on top of the "accept" pile. I even made a new resume based on her guidance. Watch until the end if you need a template to base yours off of.
00:00 Resume writing feels like this
01:06 Meet our expert, Kristi DePaul
01:28 What are people scanning first?
02:05 Objectives are out, headlines are in
02:36 More context, less generic
3:20 You have experience (more than you think)
4:20 One resume for humans, one resume for robots
5:30 Be yourself, on paper
6:06 Include endorsements, and quotes
6:30 Multiple pages are okay (just don't force it)
6:58 My new resume!

The Explainer: How to Operate as a Disruptor

The Explainer: How to Be a Disruptor
9 Jul 2019
---
Clay Christensen's landmark theory of disruptive innovation has proved to be a powerful way of thinking about innovation-driven growth.
“Disruption” describes a process whereby a smaller company with fewer resources is able to successfully challenge established incumbent businesses. Specifically, as incumbents focus on improving their products and services for their most demanding (and usually most profitable) customers, they exceed the needs of some segments and ignore the needs of others. Entrants that prove disruptive begin by successfully targeting those overlooked segments, gaining a foothold by delivering more-suitable functionality — frequently at a lower price. Incumbents, chasing higher profitability in more-demanding segments, tend not to respond vigorously. Entrants then move upmarket, delivering the performance that incumbents’ mainstream customers require, while preserving the advantages that drove their early success. When mainstream customers start adopting the entrants’ offerings in volume, disruption has occurred.

HBR Asks: What Are NFTs, and Why Do They Matter?
19 Mar 2021
---
NFTs are all over the news. We decided to take a closer look and figure out just what this bitcoin-adjacent technology is — and whether it's worth the hype.
0:00 -- Intro
0:27 -- What are NFTs?
1:14 -- How are they related to bitcoin and blockchain?
2:29 -- Why are they in the news?
3:32 -- Why are people spending real money on NFTs?
4:25 -- The thing driving this: the idea of scarcity
5:24 -- What’s the future of NFTs, especially for business?
6:20 -- NFTs might (eventually) have practical business applications
6:45 -- Ok, do I really need to pay attention to these?
Are booming NFT art and sports-card markets just a passing fad, or the beginning of a major trend? Whether or not these new markets crash, the underlying technology is definitely worth keeping an eye on, says HBR’s senior editor for technology, Thomas Stackpole. Hosted by Ramsey Khabbaz.
