060 | Resume Essentials - 7 things your resume must have in 2017

It’s been an AMAZING first season of the Career Coaching with Jessness. I started recording shows in Jan 2016 during my commute home from San Jose, CA to Pleasanton, CA. 30 miles at 8 miles an hour. I had to do something to pass the time. And that was when this podcast show was born! In the last year and a half, I’ve had a blast creating content and I look forward to coming back with SEASON 2 in the Fall.
