Is Your Resume Winning You Interviews? by securethat: 9:17pm On Nov 14, 2007 |
Are you aware that the perfect resume is all it takes to help land you the perfect interview which will help you get the perfect job. When that happens, you'll be amazed at how satisfied you'll be, filled with energy and ready to jump out of bed in the morning to earn your living, living your passion. But, let's not put the cart before the horse. Keep your eye on the prize -- a perfect job -- but keep your mind on the task at hand -- the prefect resume, and I'm here to help you. It's my pleasure to share with you the tips, tricks, insights, strategies, and "secret handshakes" I've learned during my career. I have placed many happy candidates in wonderful jobs and watched them go on to do great things professionally, and that's exactly what I want from you. Let me help you. Your resume is a selling tool that outlines your skills and experiences so an employer can see, at a glance, how you can contribute to the employer's workplace. This is the catalyst for an interview, which is the stepping stone to employment. Your resume's purpose is to get your foot in the door. It does its job successfully if it does not exclude you from consideration. Does that sound like "low expectations"? It's not. Your resume is just one part of your job-hunting strategy. Only once in a blue moon will a prospective employer look at it, call the person, and say, "You're hired!" without any additional communication, testing, etc. Once your resume has helped you clear the first hurdle, other skills (such as an irresistible interview technique) will be necessary to keep you in the race and well ahead of the pack. While you may have all the requirements for a particular position, you'll never get the call if your resume doesn't instantly bring a potential employer to the conclusion that you "have what it takes." Your resume has to sell you to the reader quickly and effectively, or it will get tossed in the garbage. The decision to KEEP IT or TOSS IT may take less than 30 seconds. A resume is a summary of your education, skills, accomplishments, and experience. Your goal is to fill it with "tidbits" that are short and to the point, as well as high-impact. Your resume provides you with an opportunity to display and market your assets in a way that is business-like, professional, attractive, personal, correct, and complete. It is a thorough, but concise representation of you that makes the prospective employer wants to meet you and learn more. For your FREE Top 50 Recruiter Turn-Off's go www.securethatjob.com |
