The receiver can leave the feedback directly on your resume. The process is as simple as placing sticky notes around. When you receive the feedback, the stickies are easy to manage and reflect on. You also don’t have to worry about losing your feedback in the threads of emails or chat discussions. Your resume and the feedback are in one place now!And how can Ask for Feedback help you land your dream job?1.

By exposing your resume to your fellow learners, tutors or those who have worked with you, you can prevent such situations from happening. After spending a lot of time on creating your resume, it’s difficult to spot even simple mistakes. That’s where a fresh pair of eyes will come in handy.2.

Friends and professional connections can give us a new perspective on ourselves. Th ey often bring the “Oh, I haven’t thought of that” moment.
