Professional Resumes
The economy is down. Jobs are scarce and competition is fierce. Now more than ever you need to know the truth about resumes.
The good news is this, a professional resume is not only essential it
is also doable. Whether you are looking for your next job, changing
careers, returning to work after some time off, or a recent graduate -
you can write your own compelling resume.
The Surprising Secret
What is the purpose of a resume? Unfortunately, it's not what you think. It does not exist to get you a job. In fact, most resumes are not used to hire people at all but to eliminate them in an effort to narrow the hiring pool.
In this busy world, the hiring manager doesn't read your resume, delight in your skills, or faun over your experience. In fact, the average hiring manager or recruiter doesn't read your resume at all.
"As
a recruiter, I look at a resume for 10 seconds (if that-I never read
resumes-just scan them) looking for very specific words in a resume
that match the job description I'm sourcing that day. If I see what I
want, I might read more."
