Your resume on Catholic Gigs remains private by default. This ensures your personal information is protected until you decide to share it. If you are applying for a job, you can submit your profile as a resume. Additionally, if you are a member of a CareerHub, you can choose to make your profile visible within that specific CareerHub community.

Crafting a Compelling Resume Profile

Your resume profile is your first introduction to potential employers, and making a strong first impression is crucial. Investing time and effort into crafting a thoughtful and authentic resume is essential. The content you include should reflect your professional capabilities and aspirations, enabling you to stand out in the job market.

To begin enhancing your resume on Catholic Gigs, follow these simple steps:

Step One: Log-In

Log-in to your Catholic Gigs account. 

Step Two: Navigate to Your Resume

From your dashboard, select “My Resume.”

Step Three: Upload Essential Content

Upload a headshot. This may seem inconsequential, but your headshot can help you stand out in a sea of resumes. You can communicate a lot about your personality and professionalism through your headshot. 

You also get to decide how you would like employers to contact you. You can opt to be contacted only through the Catholic Gigs platform or leave personal contact information. 

Step Four: Introduce Yourself

Use this space to provide authentic insights into your skills, interests, and strengths. Leaving this blank is boring and a sure way to miss opportunities. 

Step Five: Add Education, Affiliations, and Work Experience

It can be tempting to gloss over this content; however, these details are critical to employers. Be thoughtful and take your time. It won’t take long. 

Step Six: Select Your Desired Display Options

You have two display options.

“Visible to all Employers” means that if you belong to a CareerHub, any employer who has been admitted to that CareerHub can view your profile.

By selecting “Private,” your resume will only be visible to employers you apply to. 

Summary

Seek feedback on your resume from trusted colleagues or mentors. Their insights can help you refine and improve your presentation.

Keep your resume updated with new skills, experiences, or educational achievements. An up-to-date profile is crucial for attracting potential employers.

By following these guidelines, you can create a compelling and professional resume that will catch the attention of employers and open doors to new career opportunities.
