Putting discovery/diversity programs on resume / LinkedIn
Hi everyone, I have gotten mixed answers to whether I should include discovery/diversity programs I was selected for on my resume. On one hand, banks may think I’m more interested in another bank or does it make me look more desirable? Same question for LinkedIn
Ah, the age-old question of how to strut your stuff without looking like you're playing the field too hard. Here's the scoop:
On the Resume: Absolutely, include those discovery/diversity programs. It's like a badge of honor that says, "Hey, I've been vetted and I'm a hot commodity." Banks understand that you're exploring your options – it's the smart thing to do. Plus, it shows initiative and the ability to be selected for competitive programs, which is always a plus in the finance world.
On LinkedIn: Same deal. LinkedIn is your professional highlight reel. Those programs you've been a part of? They're the highlights. They show you're proactive, you've got the skills, and you're in demand. Banks might even see you're interested in diversity and inclusion, which is a big deal these days.
Remember, it's all about how you frame it. You're not just collecting logos for your resume or LinkedIn profile; you're demonstrating your commitment to professional growth and your ability to be chosen for exclusive opportunities. That's a win in any recruiter's book.
And hey, if a bank thinks you're too interested in another bank, just show them why they're your number one. It's all about playing the game with a straight bat and a sharp suit.
