How I Target Your Resume For Success
1. Strategically position keywords on your resume.
[This is critical – and determines whether your resume is placed in the ‘A’ pile or in the trash.]
2. Translate your education and experience into Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities that an employer understands and expects to find on your resume.
3. Turn your tasks into Accomplishments and your responsibilities into Results.
[Again – this is critical – employers already know what you do – they only care about success or failure. ]
Quick example – When a law firm interviews a paralegal or lawyer for a new position, they don’t need the candidate to explain what they do; (tasks and responsibilities), instead, they want the applicant to describe why they are better, faster, smarter, and cheaper than the competition. i.e., (Accomplishments and Results).
Most people do not understand this. They fill their resume with a laundry list of mundane tasks and responsibilities that everyone already knows about.
I will help you write a resume that sells.
[Remember - your resume must be a marketing piece – a highlight reel, not an autobiography].
Why Can’t I Write My Own Resume?
The answer is not that you can’t. The answer is you won’t.
Writing a resume and supporting documentation can be tedious, grueling, and frustrating if you don’t have a clear objective in mind and the talent to produce it. Most people can spend several weeks or longer, and fail to produce a marketable resume that accurately represents their talents.
All things considered, its not worth your time and effort.
