| Found an ad for a job that seems perfect? The Resume
Expert shows you how to use the job posting to customize your cover
letter. |
 |
| Hiring managers receive hundreds -- even thousands
-- of resumes every day. From this competitive pool of qualified
applicants, only a handful will ever be called for an interview.
It is no wonder most candidates never receive a response from their
dream companies. |
 |
| A resume is a self-marketing tool. It is designed
with one purpose in mind - to "sell" your skills, knowledge, and
experience to an employer so that he/she will invite you for an
interview. An effective resume speaks to the employer's needs and
requirements and demonstrates a match between what you have to offer
and those requirements. It stimulates interest in you by summarizing
information: unique qualities, well developed skills, relevant work
or academic experiences, or accomplishments that clearly differentiates
you from the competition. |
 |
| Know your product. Great advice for a sales rep.
But critical for a job seeker. A sales rep can say "I don't know
the answer to that, but I'll find out and get back to you." You
can't. The resume is a starting point to knowing and selling your
product (you), and yes, it is required. But no, it's not magic and
no, it won't get you the job. Yet without a good one, it could keep
you from getting the job (or from getting the interview). |
 |
| Does the quality of your resume reflect the hard
work you have put into writing it? How would you like to have a
powerful resume guaranteed to open doors and win interviews? |
