The Sugar Free Podcast is a place where Millenial women gather to exchange real-life advice through raw, honest, unfiltered (sugar free) conversations. Because let’s face it, adulting is way harder than it looks on television and we could all use a little help figuring this thing out. Each episode, show host, Sydnee Mack, explores a variety of topics that are important to Millennial women from careers, to dating, starting families (or not) , financial security and mental health. Each topic is covered through interviews with dynamic guests who are experts in their fields by way of education, scholarship, work experience and/or lived experience. Each guest offers actionable advice, tools, resources and strategies to help Millenial women create the lives that they want verses the lives that were crafted for us by our parents, haters and society. Show host, Sydnee Mack, Esq., is a Millennial lawyer, professor, entrepreneur, best-selling author and woman who uses her knowledge and experience to lead entertaining conversations with vulnerability, curiosity, compassion and humor (lots of it).

SHOW NOTES:
What’s the first section that should be on your resume?
A professional summary that is a brief statement that describes your experience and why you qualify for a role. Sample Statement: I am a collaborative, mission-driven, innovative Attorney with 10 years of experience as in-house general counsel for large corporations.
What should be next on your resume?
A bullet point list of key words that describe your skills, titled “Areas of Expertise” or “Core Competencies,” that you pull directly from the job description, to communicate why you’re a good fit for a particular role.
What should be next?
Your work experience section should be next and should be limited to 3-4 roles and should include no more than 10 years of work history.
Should you include internships on your resume as a working professional?
Yes, especially if your internship is directly applicable to the role. However, if the internship is fairly old, then include the internship as an honorable mention instead of a full description of work.
How long should your resume be?
Ideally, a resume should be one page, UNLESS you are applying for director level and above roles. In that case, two pages is acceptable.
Can you lie on your resume?
You cannot and should not lie on your resume. Make sure that the days and months that you worked at a job, your job title and what you did in the role are accurate. If you do try to artificially fluff your resume, at the very least make sure that whatever you include on your application, in your resume and on your LinkedIn profile are consistent.
Should we include Honors, Awards or Community Service?
Only if you have space. If including any of these things will be the difference between you having a one-page or two-page resume, save them for an application, cover letter or interview.
Where should your education go on your resume?
If you’re a recent graduate, include your education at the top of your resume. If you’re more than 5 years out of school include it at the bottom. Only include a GPA with your education if you have above a 3.5 and that goes for graduate school and undergraduate school.
