Landing a great job starts with writing a great resume. There's no doubt that in these financially difficult times it's never been harder to find the ideal job, and you won't with a second rate resume.
There's hundreds or even thousands of job applications for every single job sitting on desks around the country. You're seriously competing and your resume that sets out your job history and qualifications is what gets you the interview. If your resume doesn't cut it then it will end up in the trash with hundreds of others.
Your summary of your skills and job history has to be good to get past this point. Really good. And it's not easy creating a job application that includes a resume good enough to get you in front of the person who makes that all important decision, whether it's you, or someone else, who gets the job.
If you don't get the interview you're dead of course. Even if you're the ideal person for the job.
So do you know how to do all this when you sit at the table to write your resume?
1. Do you know how to write a headline that gets read, and did you even recognize the importance of the headline?
2. You have some important parts of your job history to emphasize for every job application. How do you do that?
3. How to craft your objective statement. In fact do you even know what an objective statement is?
4. How you should present your qualifications?
5. Do you understand what a reference sheet is?
6. How do you write a cover letter?
Are you already confused and don't know where to start? Don't understand what the steps are in the resume writing process? Don't worry.
There are certain principles that ought to be followed when crafting a personal summary and job application. A formula that, if you follow it exactly dramatically improves your chances of that all important person putting your application on the "interviews" pile rather than the "trash" pile.
If you know how to apply the formula then you're in front of the majority instead of fighting with everyone else.
So remember, having a great, eye catching resume and cover letter is the secret to job application success. Learn the correct principles, apply them religiously when writing, and you're job application should be sitting right there on top of the pile. It all starts with your resume.
