<h1>Top 5 hot tips to a <a href="http://figjamresumes.com.au">great resume</a></h1>
<p>There is a load of information available on how to write a good resume, from accessing templates and samples from the internet, to standard knowlegde and prior experience.  I have observed that many internet examples are &#8220;American&#8221; in culture and perhaps not the best style to suit in Australia. But, there is no better teacher than sucess, in fact, nothing beats success!</p>
<h2>Here are my top <a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/the-resume-is-king/">5 hot tips for creating a resume</a></h2>
<ol>
<li>Be concise and relevant to the job you&#8217;re applying for</li>
<li>Keep resume to two pages maximim</li>
<li>Dont use fancy fonts and tables</li>
<li>Make sure there are no spelling errors or typos</li>
<li>Page one is your lead and has the best real estate value</li>
</ol>
<h3>1.Be concise and relevant to the job</h3>
<p>Often &#8220;cookie-cutter&#8221; resumes are gathered out of the dust or off the shelf and sent to various job adverts without any prior scrutiny. Make sure you read over the job description carefully and insert yourself into the role. Once you can visualise the job and you in it, then start to mold and edit your resume to read similarily. The reader must feel that there is a strong alignment between you and the role. This may mean you delete irrelvant facts and highlight the items that are more important to the employer. This is clever and it works! Naturally, you must remain truthful and authentic.</p>
<h3>2.Keep resume to two pages</h3>
<p>Unless you are the Prime Minister or have to submit a lenghly acedemic style resume, keep your document to 2 pages. This also helps you to ascertain what is really important and assists you to remain concise and to the point.  Studies have shown that readers often are time poor, and sometimes (often) are read by inexperienced HR personnel who are responsible for culling and shorlisting. Make it easy for them to distinguish the good applicant by providing a concise and relevant document.  They need to read relevance and need to feel that you could be a great match.</p>
<h3>3.Ignore fancy fonts and tables</h3>
<p>Using smanchie styles is fine if you are applying for a role in a creative industry. If this is the case, then go wild. If however, you are in the mainstream, go for the simple, clean lines. As a general guide, use a maximum of 3  fonts (size and style variations) only. Many employers may not have advanced software so often fancy fonts and tables are not compatible. Use bullet points to help the reader through your material. Keeping it simple means that the reader is not struggling to find the information they seek.</p>
<h3>4.Check for spelling errors and typos</h3>
<p>Sounds simple but many don&#8217;t review the document prior to pressing &#8220;send&#8221;. If you are too familiar with the document, you can often miss simple errors. Ask a friend to read it if that is the problem. Whatever you do, proof-read a few times and different intervals that way you can review with fresh eyes. The reader WILL judge you on this, as they figure if you were &#8220;sloppy&#8221; in the application, you may be also a sloppy worker.</p>
<h3>5. First page is the best real estate</h3>
<p>Page one is the best page. Don&#8217;t mess it with irrelant facts like hobbies etc. It needs to highlight YOU.  The front page should tell me all I need to know about you. Your last job being one of the important items as well as a career statement that descibes you best. Often the readers do not not have the time or the inclination to read much further than page one so make it count.</p>
<p>In conclusion, your resume should be an easy read, it should tell the reader all about you in 30 seconds and it should get you shortlisted  to an interview! If it doesn&#8217;t then take a hard critical look at it and adopt the 5 hot tips to see if that will get you the success you deserve.</p>

<h1>THE RESUME LINE UP</h1>
<h2>It&#8217;s essential to have a series of <a href="http://www.figjamresumes.com.au">resumes</a>, all individually built for a specific purpose.</h2>
<p>These boats are built and ready for general purpose, ready for a certain type of sea travel. I am sure you could list the types of fishing that could be perform with them, and the types of journeys these boats are good for.  They are not good for long months out to sea, they are not good for speed and they are specifically crafted for a certain type of travel. Agreed?</p>
<h3><a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au">Individualise each resume to suit the job advert</a>.</h3>
<p>Just like these boats, if you have several roles you could perform, then you will need several types of resumes to best accommodate the roles. There is no point applying for a job with a resume that is more suited to another role. A role quite different and one that is not advertised.</p>
<p>As recruiters, we often receive the same cookie-cutter styled resumes and that would be OK if only these resumes were written with the utmost care and with the job advertisement and job requirements in mind. We often throw our hands in the air when a resume arrives  from a very qualified and experienced horticulturalist who applies for a role within  our accounts and back office. Are we supposed to read between the lines? or perhaps assume way too much?</p>
<p>We read in frustration for any links to the role we have advertised and see nothing.  This makes for a confused start as nothing in the resume tells us that this candidate has transferable skills, and there are no indications that they would even forfeit the outdoors for indoor work. We are not mind readers, and we are not psychic.</p>
<p>Readers of your resume need to have things spelled out to them, literally! They need to see the possibilities, the foundation skills set that would entice them to at least interview the candidate.  They need to read fit for purpose, so make the transition easier for them, and spell it out!</p>

<h1>Writing a winning resume is a skill, and an art.</h1>
<p>Producing a winning resume that stands-out is a specialised skill, and also an art. You will need to have a resume that works for you. It has to be tailored and specific for the position you seek. Your personality, abilities and talents need to be clearly noticeable. You need to be &#8220;different&#8221; from all the other cookie cutter style resumes.</p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;">If you rarely receive a reply to your job applications, there is a strong message and lesson here. Clearly, your resume is not working for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;">Resumes are the most crucial factor in many job applications, they are the only way a prospective employer obtains an impression of you, your work history and suitability for the role/culture.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333399;">What is your resume saying about you? Is it error-free? is it written for reading? is it too long? too short? lacks relevant information? looks like every other resume and does not have your individual stamp? Is in such a small or large font that it is illegible? I could go on and on and on here,  you get the drift. </span></p>
<p>There is help available if you think your resume is sick, and by this I mean it is in poor health and unable to get you over the line to an interview, then you will need to seek specialist advice.</p>
<p>Often having an Objective third party read, review and assess the document, reading and interpreting it from the &#8220;employers&#8221; perspective. Yes, we are all sentimental about our resumes because we know how long and lovingly we entered our valuable work history and details. Great, now get over yourself,  do you want &#8220;that&#8217; job or more rejection?</p>
<p>Finally, seek an expert by phoning 0404056278  and  Ivana Agapiou our resume writer will talk with you about a personalized resume. It will be devised so that it will launch you to your next interview and perhaps your dream job!</p>

<h2>The Pandamic has many of us reflecting and reviewing our careers and how we spend our limited time.</h2>
<h3>Here are a few key questions that may help you to either pat yourself on the back or kick yourself into gear!</h3>
<p>Firstly, what were your 2022 highlights, at work, at home? or with your personal relationships and  within your hobbies/outside interests? Think about the following questions,</p>
<ul>
<li>Where there any opportunities lost?</li>
<li>Are you in a job you enjoy? what are the things you enjoy most?</li>
<li>Are there any aspects of your life you would like to see changed?</li>
<li>When did you enjoy a break from work and worry?</li>
<li>What relaxes you the most?</li>
<li>What would you like to include in your life, that is currently missing or there is not enough of?</li>
<li>If you have the chance, is there anything you might do differently in 2023?</li>
</ul>
<p>Just a few stimulating questions that should help to determine whether you are on track or off the beaten track, and if that it&#8217;s the right direction to head</p>

<h1>Selection Criteria. If you are seeking work especially within large corporations, the job application process has become even more onerous and tricky.</h1>
<h2>The process often requires you to possess a huge amount of critical thinking, analysis and the qualities of a best selling author.</h2>
<p>In the past, the expectation was that you responded to<a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> selection criteria</a>. That was tough enough. Now there is a whole new world of potential suffering that manifests into paralysis and sheer fright! The expectation is that you can read between lines,and interpret any job description, and be able to respond with creative intelligence to &#8220;c<em>apability statements</em>&#8221; or articulate answers to seemingly innocuous key questions within a cover letter (no more than 2 pages allowed)</p>
<p>As you wade through the pages of corporate guff, (some of which is not useful) which often includes the now trending competency percentages for the role, you are expected to interpret how you can match these required job attributes to your experiences. Sometimes you are required to be almost a literary genius!  All the responses require you to demonstrate how you encompass your competencies and your experience into great, meaty examples that relate to their job.</p>
<p>In the past, most <a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">applications</a> were initially screened and handled by HR administration or  HR professionals, these were the people who first eye-balled your application and would shortlist by simply skimming  your application, searching for certain phrases or buzzwords. Here’s the tricky thing &#8230; not all applications are read by human eyes anymore. Many employers and HR departments that employ large numbers of staff, utilize scanning software to search for <em>keywords</em> in<a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> job applications</a> and ONLY  when the computer pings with matches,  will they read the applications!</p>
<p>Regardless, it’s vitally important to make sure your application has the right keywords contained within, so that a match or a &#8220;hit&#8221; happens in the search. Please note that this is not an excuse to implant your application with a loads of random buzzwords or make it obvious that you have copied phrases and sentences into your application.</p>
<p>The computer searches rely on verbs and also nouns. If you were applying for a accountancy role, then you’d want to make sure you included keywords your job application, like profit and loss statements, along with using niche terms that are relevant and are integral to the role advertised.</p>
<p>The easier you make it for the recruiter or the scanning software to find and match your skills and qualities to the job, the quicker and easier it will be that you are shortlisted,  and the more likely it’ll be that they’ll ask you for an interview.</p>
<p>YES!<a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> The application process</a> now requires a huge amount of critical thinking, analysis and the qualities of a best seller author.</p>

<h1>What is the difference between a Job agency and a recruitment agency?</h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">Eather Recruitment, although posted and listed under Yellow pages and most on-line media as an Employment Agency, is actually a Recruitment agency. What is the difference you ask? It&#8217;s important to know before you send in your <a href="http://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au">resume</a>!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The big difference is that Employment agencies actively find unemployed  people work. They conduct their business usually as a government funded agency so therefore they work from the candidate first, finding out what skills and experience they posses and then try to find an employer who may be interested .</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A recruitment agency works with employers in the first instance, gathers a comprehensive brief and job description and then searches the job market for the best person for the job. Often these candidates are not unemployed, rather, candidates who seek a promotion; new career path, often they are highly skilled and experienced.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is a simple explanation, please contact our office  if you want to know more of how our employment services can help you.

<h1><b>Responding to Selection Criteria. It&#8217;s a specialised skill and you&#8217;re not alone.</b></h1>
<p><strong>This article with cover how should you respond and address selection criteria.</strong></p>
<p>Firstly, you are required to address each criterion separately, providing enough detail for the panel to assess your abilities in relation to them. While there is no specific word or character limit, the average response should be around 350 -500 words per criterion. The best approach is to 1.Understand the Position description 2. Provide evidence 3. Be positive and specific 4. provide outcomes/results .</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Understand the Position Description (PD)</strong> It&#8217;s important to read the whole of the PD, considering the responsibilities of the job and how they relate to the selection criteria. Make sure you understand what sort of responsibilities relate to every criterion. For example, writing reports, negotiating with colleagues and providing information to clients all relate to a selection criterion based on “communicates effectively”. In your response to that criteria you should therefore cover your experience relating to writing, negotiating and providing information. You should make notes under each selection criteria regarding the types of things you should cover. Inform the panel on what aspects of the criterion you are addressing. For example, the excerpt below from an applicant’s response to the criteria uses the same terms (report writing, negotiating and providing information) to show how their experience relates to the role they are applying for:</li>
</ol>
<p>“I<em>n several positions I was required to negotiate with colleagues and clients in relation to deadlines. for example, while working as an Account&#8217;s Assistant with XYZ Company, I had to liaise regularly with clients to negotiate deadlines for payment. I worked in partnership with them, clearly explaining the reasons for the deadline and adopting a flexible attitude if possible. I also ascertained a good understanding of my client’s business to ensure I understood and worked with their needs and their own specific deadlines. As a result of this relationship-building approach, I consistently received payments on time and was therefore able to maintain cash flow and decrease outstanding debts.”</em></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Provide evidence,</strong> This is  really important when formulating relevant examples from your work, study, life and/or volunteer experience. Decide which examples ‘fit’ best, then use the STAR method (<em>Situation, Task, Approach and Result)</em> to outline them. The STAR approach ensures that you provide evidence of how you are suitable for the job, not just generic statements. With the example above: The <strong>S</strong> situation was working as Sales Officer with XYZ.  The task was negotiating the deal, The <strong>A</strong> approach was explaining the reason for the deadline, being understanding of the client’s needs and adopting a flexible attitude and The <strong>R</strong> result or outcome was ensuring payments were received on time to prepare and submit the end of financial year  report,  by the required deadline.</li>
</ol>
<p>Often the difficult part is knowing what examples to use from your work history and what sort of things to emphasize or highlight. You might find that you have too much information to fit into just a couple of pages or you may struggle to write a paragraph. It is best to be concise and avoid going off on tangents. <strong>Every bit of information should link to the <a href="http://www.figjamresumes.com.au">selection criteria</a>. </strong>It must be positive and specific, using positive and specific language and avoiding ambiguous or passive expressions, such as “I was involved in” or “I assisted in”. Use strong action terms and verbs and avoid passive language when describing your qualifications and experience, for example, say “I lead the project” rather than, “As part of my ongoing duties, I participated in the project”. Avoid negative terms, such as “dealing with problems”. Instead, turn it around and couch the phrase as “meeting challenges”or “resolving issues”.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li><strong>Review your work</strong> and once you complete your responses to the selection criteria, go back over your application and check that: · You have covered all aspects of the criteria· The structure of your response to each criterion is logical· The information is concise, there is not extra information that does not relate to the criterion · Your sentences are positive and clear· Your grammar and spelling is correct · The best approach is to ask someone else to read your work and ask that they consider the above points when assessing your response</li>
</ol>
<p>In Summary, the most important things to remember:</p>
<ul>
<li>Read and understand the whole PD</li>
<li>Address all the selection criteria</li>
<li>Focus on the criteria based on the Core and Business Enabler Capabilities</li>
<li>Give solid examples and don&#8217;t forget to outline the results and outcomes</li>
<li>Try to keep to around 500 words per criterion · Sell your contribution</li>
<li>Read through your work over and over and even have someone else edit and review too! Then press SEND!!</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, if this sounds all too difficult we can recommend the services of a <a href="http://www.figjamresumes.com.au">resume writer.</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.eatherrecruitment.com">Referees in your RESUME </a></h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Eather-Recruitment-and-Labour-Hire-46.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1102" src="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Eather-Recruitment-and-Labour-Hire-46.jpg" alt="Eather Recruitment and Labour Hire 46" width="276" height="183" srcset="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Eather-Recruitment-and-Labour-Hire-46.jpg 276w, https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Eather-Recruitment-and-Labour-Hire-46-207x136.jpg 207w, https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Eather-Recruitment-and-Labour-Hire-46-140x94.jpg 140w" sizes="(max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px" /></a></p>
<h2>There is a difference between written references and  verbal referees, know which to insert in your <a href="http://www.figjamresumes.com">resume.</a></h2>
<h3><em>Let&#8217;s explore the differences and which should you use in your resume. </em></h3>
<p>Firstly, a <strong>reference</strong> is a written document that describes your work and performance, usually it is full of praise. Some applicants like to attach a formal reference letter to their resume. Whereas, a <strong>Referee</strong> is a  name, title and contact details of a current or previous supervisor/manager, usually they are contacted verbally and asked a series of questions in regards to your nature; work ethic; communication skills  and job performance, just to list a few areas. The list of referees ( 3 to 4 is the max; 2 min) should be detailed at the bottom of your <a href="http://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au">resume</a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s with complete confidence that I advise that only referees are of importance, that is,  name and contact details of a recent supervisor/manager.  Separate written references are no longer in vogue.  Not only do they date quickly, most references are glowing , because who wants to hand out a negative one, that do not allow for any discussion or questioning.</p>
<p>Future employers should contact your referees and therefore you will need to be <strong>100% sure</strong> that the referees you list on your <a title="Resume, referees, references, job, jobs" href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">resume</a> meet the following criterion:-</p>
<ul>
<li>can be trusted to speak well of you</li>
<li>are not personal friends or related to you</li>
<li>know you and most importantly know your work &#8211; have actually witnessed you at work and can comment with knowledge about your performance</li>
<li>have current contact number/s and details</li>
<li>have been asked to be listed on your resume and are happy to help you</li>
<li>are informed by you on what jobs you have applied for</li>
</ul>
<p>If you have any doubts whatsoever on whether they will be good to you, and say great things about you, don&#8217;t hesitate to remove them from your resume.</p>
<p>Better to be safe than always wondering why you never got a call back from a potential new employer!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au">Being separated from one&#8217;s job is extremely challenging because many of us closely identify by what we “do” for a living. </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au">When the job is taken away, we can lose track of who we are and even why we are,</a>  Emotional issues aside, many of us are able to identify the practical issues, from determining how long our financial resources will sustain, to deciding if a <a href="http://careerplanning.about.com/od/careerchoicechan/a/why_change.htm">career change</a> was in order. In other words, practical planning for the future.</p>
<p>Eather Recruitment conduct <a title="outplaccement, career change, job loss, redundancy" href="http://eatherrecruitment.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Outplacement Services,</a> and through guided facilitation, many came to terms with important emotional and practical issues, and also come to terms with ( I use the old term &#8220;moving on&#8221;) and   “Where to go from here?” .</p>
<p>Most importantly, consider why you lost your job &#8211; often the Company downsized, so, it was not your fault. Determine if this was an industry <a href="http://careerplanning.about.com/od/occupations/">trend</a>  and if there still is a future within the same field. <a title="career change, resume updates, write resume" href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Career change </a> is always a serious consideration, and if not a possibility for you, maybe this difficult stage can be a good opportunity to spruce up some <a href="http://careerplanning.about.com/od/importantskills/">skills</a> in order to increase marketability within the current and future job market.</p>
<p>Rather than looking at a job loss as a horrible thing, (for too long) many consider the possible positive implications of this situation. Taking the time to make some positive changes — like switching careers or industries; or learning some new skills and improving upon existing ones; or perhaps consider <a href="http://careerplanning.about.com/od/relocating/">relocating</a>. The outplacement services help to identify transferable skills and possible links to other industries and jobs.

<p><a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/an-ivana-sunrise7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4014" src="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/an-ivana-sunrise7.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="686" srcset="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/an-ivana-sunrise7.jpg 960w, https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/an-ivana-sunrise7-300x214.jpg 300w, https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/an-ivana-sunrise7-768x549.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></a></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Is your resume an individually tailored document that sells your skills in the right light?</h2>
<h4>The simple answer is actually a question, &#8220;Is your resume getting you<strong> that</strong> interview?&#8221; Otherwise,  it&#8217;s just heading to the sunset with all the others.</h4>
<p>Firstly, if <a href="http://www.figjamresumes.com.au">your resume</a> is securing you that interview, then you have a good resume, however, if it does not get you in front of a potential employer, it&#8217;s doing you NO favours!</p>
<p>Resumes should read like sales documents, they should &#8220;sell&#8221; your unique skills, knowledge, experience and qualifications. Most importantly, it should make you a highly marketable commodity!</p>
<p>Many candidates place a lot of effort into resume writing and often don&#8217;t know how to edit, delete or add. However, it&#8217;s a mandatory requirement<strong>.</strong></p>
<p><em>Following are  some simple rules</em></p>
<p>1) Always proof read thoroughly, and have someone else read it also.</p>
<p>2) Check for spelling errors, grammatical errors and general professional layout.</p>
<p>3) print a copy and see how it looks&#8230; often the print version can appear quite different that the screen copy!</p>
<p>3) only include content that is relevant to the job you are applying for &#8211; yes, this means more work, and yes, it means adapting your resume to each role and yes, it&#8217;s worth it</p>
<p>Finally,  a resume is very personal and many candidates find it challenging to &#8220;blow their own Trumpet&#8221; so if you need an objective opinion and  help with resume writing, you need an expert with years of recruitment experience,</p>

<h1><span style="color: #3366ff;">The hidden secrets and reasons why candidates are selected.</span></h1>
<p>We constantly hear people say that they were unsuccessful at interview or with finding jobs in Port Macquarie,  so, we surveyed a number of workplaces to address some of the most common reasons employers hire employees.</p>
<p>Here is a list with the results, in no particular order. Generally employer&#8217;s select someone who will add value to the organisation and to the team effort. Someone who &#8220;stands-out&#8221; from the other applicants. They look for the following 9 items 1) long term potential 2)ability to work well with others 3)ability to make money 4) relevant resume 5) relevant work experience 6) creative problem solving 7) adaptability 8) enthusiasm 9) good cultural fit</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Long-term potential</span></b></p>
<p>Employers want to see your long-term future within  their company. They need to see you are motivated and excited about  the company&#8217;s future direction and your role in it.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Demonstrated ability to work well with others</span></b></p>
<p>We spend a lot of time at work. There is nothing worse than someone who cannot get along with others.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ability to make money</span></b></p>
<p>Hiring managers want people who can prove that they will add value the company’s profits NOT increase its costs without benefit to them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.figjamresumes.com.au"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Relevant résumé</span></b></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au"> Your résumé is  your very own personal  sales flie</a>r.  It is a reflection of you in the eyes of the reader. Is it “selling” you well? Not sure? Get a second opinion from an expert.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Relevant work experience</span></b></p>
<p>Experience levels generally allow a person to hit the ground running without a lot of hand-holding. Many managers do not have time to mentor and train people on the basics.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Creative problem-solving skills</span></b></p>
<p>Employers seek someone who know how to tackle challenges and opportunities in a way no one will find in a textbook.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Adaptability in handling a variety of projects</span></b></p>
<p>They seek someone who isn&#8217;t shy about asking for additional work. Someone who volunteers to take on extra work, even if it means putting in additional hours.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Enthusiasm and initiative</span></b></p>
<p>If you show consistent enthusiasm and take initiative on the job, you can count on being noticed and rewarded. Don’t just meet  the criteria of a job description, go above and beyond what is required to help the business succeed.</p>
<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Good cultural fit</span></b></p>
<p>Recruiters are pressured to find the right match for a company. Applicants are under pressure to creatively differentiate them and demonstrate a desire to succeed, make sure you research the company and ensure that you actually &#8220;fit&#8221; the culture also!</p>
<p>In conclusion,  preparing for these 9 criteria can help you get ready for your next interview that will land you your  next job</p>

<p><a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ivana-team-work.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3772" src="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ivana-team-work.jpg" alt="" width="442" height="589" srcset="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ivana-team-work.jpg 442w, https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ivana-team-work-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px" /></a></p>
<h2>Resumes are not just  a snap shot of your career, they can tell the reader a whole heap more&#8230;</h2>
<p>A resume was recently emailed to me for a job within administration.  Under the heading of Personal Details and along with DOB, there was a heading of “Marital Statue”.  Now, if whilst reading this resume in a hurry, or for the very first time, you may have missed the misspelling, the writer of this resume, helped to see the heading by encasing with and underline, used large font and highlighted in bold. It was proudly displayed for all to read, not once, but several times.</p>
<p>Firstly, let’s talk about marital status (status, being the right word, albeit, in the wrong place/context)</p>
<p>The definition of <em>marital status, is any of several distinct options that describe a person&#8217;s relationship with a significant other. Married, single, divorced, and widowed are examples of marital status.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So why insert this into your resume?</p>
<p><strong>One</strong> it’s not needed</p>
<p>I mean who needs to know and why do they need to know? I kinda, sorta understand if the role was working in the isolated  icy cold Tundra for months at a time, and therefore  the job may place a strain on any relationship – but really? Many workers cope with remoteness, many people work well away from family and friends for extended periods.</p>
<p><strong>Two</strong>, it’s a typo and/or spelling error</p>
<p>Oh God, here’s my passion project! READ REVIEW SLEEP AND READ AND REVIEW again!  Repeat and rinse! Then get a person who has a profound eye for detail to check the resume again BEFORE pressing send!  My spellcheck would not allow Marital Statue to pass muster, even a computer insisted that I make it marital status.</p>
<p><strong>Three</strong>, it shows a sloppy application and therefore, rightly or wrongly,  judgements are made about YOU</p>
<p>The job advertisement specifically called for “attention to detail” but even so, who wants to employ a sloppy worker? One that could be great, but, well that’s just it … the reader is left in doubt..</p>
<p>There used to be a time with Marital STATUS was an important factor in assessing a candidate for a job. I believe that was when Noah gathered animals for the Arc, but perhaps I’m wrong.  Perhaps there still are pockets of prejudiced people who think that relationship status is important. Perhaps they watched too many episodes of Mad Men. I digress.  Please ask yourself when relationship status would be important and how this status could affect an individual’s performance? And even if this could be explained, why would you want to work for an organisation that has this as a criterion?</p>
<p>Finally,  <a href="https://www.eatherrecruitment.com.au">YOUR RESUME is YOUR Image</a>…. Pure and simple… make it read like the person  they want to hire!</p>
