THE
RESUME - A DESIGN FOR YOUR SUCCESS
Resumes
used to be simple little documents, a couple of pages long,
with a few references at the end. These were passive summaries
that laid out your qualifications in a low-key manner, and
more often than not, they slipped quietly through the cracks
of the company's hiring desk.
Perhaps,
a passive, low-key resume is keeping you from getting your
dream job.
If
you think that a resume is merely a list of work-related things
you've done in your life, than you need to seriously change
your perspective.
THE RESUME - YOUR VITAL SALES TOOL
A
resume is not just a list of accomplishments. It is your high-caliber
selling agent, a sales pitch that will present you to your
prospective employer in your Sunday best.
You
need to break away from that mold and create a resume that
works as your specialized marketing representative, presenting
you to your future employer as the best possible, the obvious,
choice.
Keep
in mind that a person is hiring you, so in this case, the
first impression really is the last.
Only
those resumes that catch the employer's attention go on to
step two: The Job Interview.
When
you get to that stage, your resume has done its job - now
it's up to you.
