You can have the best resources, the best job listings, great references, and an amazing job history but if one thing isn't in place, none of it will matter.
That one thing?
Your resume.
So many people fail to make this a top priority when it comes to looking for a job.
If you look at our August 2012 archives, we did a week long series on creating a professional resume. To recap, your resume needs:
- Correct contact information
- Objective
- Work History
- Experience
- Skills & Competencies
If you've been sending out resumes and aren't getting invited to interviews, it may be time to review your resume or have it professionally done. You may be a great interviewer and have a lot to offer but you won't get invited to an interview if your resume is lacking.
Remember, your resume (along with your cover letter) gives a potential employer their first impression of you. If you're resume isn't formatted correctly or is riddled with spelling errors, there's only one place that resume will end up. In the wastebasket.
Companies are overwhelmed by the amount of resumes they receive per job posting. Don't give them a reason to overlook yours, provide a professional looking resume and increase your chances of getting that interview.
