Not sure yet

You do not need to know the job to start the resume. Naming the work gets easier once it is written down.

It does not make you name the job

What changes when this is where you are

The questions are written for the job you name. These are the ones that change because the job does not have a name yet.

  • Your skills sit above your job history, so what carries over is read first.
  • The duties of the job you are aiming at are never handed to you as your own experience. Skills carry over; the work itself has to be yours.
  • You can say you have no work history yet and keep going.
  • Nothing makes you choose a direction. One comes out of what you have done.

Nothing here is a setting you have to find. It is how the questions come out when you choose this.

Everything you have done

What Rung draws out

You do not have to name the job first. The questions start with what you have done.

  • What you have done, before deciding what to call it
  • What you are good at and what you would rather not do again
  • A few kinds of work it points toward
