Common Misconceptions Jobseekers Have About Resumes 

Being a jobseeker today can be fairly overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to optimize your resume to land your dream job. There’s a lot of well-intentioned advice out there about how you can rework job descriptions, embed keywords, or highlight results in order to stand out…but sometimes, when put into play, the result is simply a more confusing resume.

Swoon’s Senior Creative Recruiter, Jeremy, talks through some of the misconceptions around keywords on a resume and what small adjustments you can make to ensure the recruiter or hiring manager knows exactly what you do so they can find the best fit for you.  

Highlights from President’s Club 2024 

Each year, the Swooners who have truly gone above and beyond in their roles to earn a place at Swoon’s President’s Club get to celebrate in style. This year, our winners spent time on the sunny beaches and sparkling waters of Montego Bay, Jamaica, for some well-earned relaxation.  We couldn’t be more thankful to have them on our team!
