Focus Tips
Cannot Finish a Resume or CV
Complete the job application materials you dread.
The Problem
You know you should update your resume, but facing your own history feels vulnerable and tedious. You start, get stuck on phrasing, and abandon it for months while opportunities pass.
Strategies to Overcome It
- 1Write one bullet per role using "action + result" format.
- 2Use a clean template so formatting is not the blocker.
- 3Ask a friend to fill gaps you cannot phrase.
- 4Set a 30-minute timer to produce a draft, imperfectly.
- 5Tailor per application only after the base is done.
Your 2-Minute Action
Open your resume and write one strong bullet for your current role right now. One concrete line breaks the freeze.
