It has never been more important in the job world that you know how to write a proper resume. Landing a great job is getting harder and harder, especially in these financially difficult times, and landing a great job starts with a great 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 when you sit down to start writing do you know how to do these all important things?
1. Create a compelling headline. Do you even know the importance of the headline?
2. How do you emphasize the best parts of your job history?
3. Do you understand what an objectives statement is and how important it is?
4. How you should present your qualifications?
5. Know what a reference sheet is?
6 Do you know how to write a great cover letter?
So has all that confused you even more about how to write a great resume? No matter, 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.
Follow the right formula and you're in front of the pack. If you don't you're with the pack, in the trash.
So it's important to remember, and eye catching resume and cover letter is the most important part of the process of landing a great job. Learn how to do it right and you've massively increased your chances. But it starts on the kitchen table as you get writing.
It's so important in fact that I've put a book on my website telling you the whole process. If you're looking for a great job you need to read it.
