Job Search Tips - Resumes
Looking for a new job, or maybe a better or different one? First, and foremost is a GREAT RESUME...there are no shortcuts to getting an interview without a resume. Your resume should speak clearly and loudly of your value as a potential employee. The value must be spoken in a brief few seconds, because in the business world, that's all the attention a resume will get.
The resume takes you only the first few paces toward tha new job. It gets your foot in the door and because you can't be there to answer questions, it has to stand on its own. A resume's emphasis is on what has happened in your business life, what actions you took to make those things happen,and what supportive personal characteristics you brought on the job,.. It is about how you contributed to solving a business' problem. It has nothing to do with generalizations or personal opinions.
There is a general rule that will help your resume get read and acted upon in the quickest possible time: the resume needs to be SHORT and LONG ...Short on WORDS, but long on FACTS, and an energy that reflects the real you. Good resume writing focuses attention on your strengths and shows you as a potential powerhouse of an employee.
What style resume should I create? How long should my resume be? How far back should I go with my experience? What if this is my first job,and I have no experience?
