but to create a resume
that works.
How do you defne “A resume that works”?
A. A resume that works gets you a job
B. A resume that works gets you an interview
C. A resume that works gets the phone to ring
D. None of the above
The answer is C.
A resume that works is one that gets the phone to ring.
It does not take a genius to see that times have changed.
There was a time a resume was only a complementary
piece. After the interview, it was used to complement your
conversations with the hiring manager.
Today it is the centerpiece.
It is the reason employers choose you over another. It is a
tool you use to document your story (background, soft and
hard skills, experience, strengths) and communicate it to
the employer.
“W
ithout a doubt,
your resume is the
single most
important tool
when searching for
employment.
Every employer
will judge you and
your qualifcations
based on its
content.
