Professional Resumes

In order to give your resume the impact it merits, it is vital to know what (and how) information should be emphasized, and what should be included or eliminated based upon your unique circumstances, history, and objectives. An effective resume can:

  • Open doors to a wealth of new opportunities
  • Dramatically increase your resume response rate
  • Substantially shorten your job search time
  • Create a positive response with human resource professionals, recruiters, and managers by showcasing your qualifications, experience, training, and accomplishments in the most appropriate and positive light
  • Focus on your strengths and potential, and the contribution you can make to an employer, rather than just listing portions of your past that may be irrelevant or detrimental
  • Minimize or eliminate screen-out factors: elements that can cause a resume to be screened out rather than selected
  • Rank well with automated applicant tracking systems: i.e., paper resumes scanned into computer databases, resumes submitted via e-mail, and resumes entered into in-house or third-party job sites
  • Help you retain control of your interviews by directing the interviewer toward your strengths and away from potential liabilities
