Stories are the way you talk about your life to others. Through a story you can convey who you are, what you’ve experienced, and where you’re going.

Telling a story in your resume is difficult, but remember that you also have your cover letter, pre-interview exchanges, and interviews. Make sure you’re telling and reinforcing your key messages in every interaction using your powerful stories.

In this episode, Bobby Umar gives 4 tips to jobseekers 
1. Keep your focus on the audience
2. Describe Your Specific Actions
3. Include the facts
4. Share the Results

It takes time and practice to become a good storyteller. The process of learning how to be a good storyteller is just as fun as telling the story itself. When you do master the art, you’ll be amazed at how much easier it is to create emotional connections with the people around you.
