Resumes that stand out from the rest, (for all the right reasons) and are often the best! 

If you want a job, you will need to have a resume that works for you! it needs to be tailored and specific for the position you seek.

So, you have what you think it’s “a cracker” of a resume and you’re sending this resume out to a variety of jobs and …. nothing… …no interview requests, and if you are lucky, you get a “sorry, you have been unsuccessful” reply…  There is a strong message and lesson here… your resume is not working for you!

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.

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… 

Now you want to know what to do?  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… you need to seek specialist advice!

You do need an Objective third party to read, review and assess the document – reading and interpreting it from the “employers” 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 “that’ job or not?

Your resume is your career passport.

Is your resume a passport to a better future? or is it a stagnant, ordinary piece of  work that doesn’t attract much attention?

I believe it’s a VITAL career Investment, and in this post we will evaluate whether your resume is helping or hindering your future security, satisfaction and success rates at the job application stage.

I have a picture in my head of how I would like to spend the rest of my life.. it looks something like this.. loads of freedom, loads of money, and loads of dreams fulfilled!  Your future may look a bit different, but deep down we are a all a bit the same.  Very few of us want to be working so long and hard that we forget, or don’t have time for the simple stuff!  Now what has this got to do with your resume? well, EVERYTHING!   

Your resume gets you either noticed or ignored It holds POWER and may mean the difference between staying in a dull, poorly paid job to gaining a career filled with job satisfaction.  It’s the KEY to unlocking a new pathway and perhaps a better life!

Resumes need to be all of the following:

• continually updated and revised by adding new jobs/skills/training etc
• meet current industry/workplace standards by using correct terms and contemporary language
• be a true reflection of your worth and potential
• not arrogant yet not too humble either
• totally free of spelling and grammatical errors
• pack a punch and engage the reader – not looking like a cookie cutter resume
• have relevant referees who you KNOW are 100% trustworthy
• be truthful and honest without “too much information”
• match the job you are applying for, and include details of skills, experience and knowledge that can be reconciled against the job advertised (making the reader’s life easier as they can see a correlation /connection, enough to place you on the short list)

It’s THE most important career document you possess. It can either yield you an interview or it can make your application obsolete.

So, where do you start? here’s a guide

Get hold of your resume, read over and better still, have an objective third party review the layout and contents.

Obtain an expert opinion -HR professional or recruiter

Test the market – if your resume is successful, then more often than not, you will be called in for an interview, if however, you are NOT contacted… Houston, we have a problem resume!

Have you forgotten something?

Until you need one, you don’t think you want one, you really can’t see the point-or maybe make the time to get one? Then “that” dream job you’ve always wanted suddenly gets advertised and you’d like to apply …and you begin to panic- it’s a mad rush and race to get one done!  You’ve forgotten your resume! Sound familiar?

It may be years since you last formally applied for a job or it may be that in the past, you have always been “tapped on shoulder” for work.

Now they want your resume and sadly, you have neglected to keep one that is current, and most importantly, you haven’t been maintaining a record of your jobs; promotions and added skills, education and training etc.

Even if you are in small business and even if you have NEVER had a group certificate, you need to have a record or a PROFILE that you can utilize in your marketing and on-line presence.

I highly recommend that you consistently update your resume so that at a moment’s notice you can produce it. If you don’t know where to start then the next best scenario is to have one professionally done. YES call for help – and  NEVER caught chasing one, or leaving home without one ever again.
