Page 1 of 2 No one really thinks of writing or updating a resume unless he or she is looking for a job for the first time, has just resigned from or is thinking of resigning from a present job, is looking forward to a promotion or is exploring possibilities of a career change.Are you one of the people listed above? If you are, then you might be going through what most people experience even before they start to write or update their resume:
- You agonize on what to include and how your resume should look;
- You don’t have the energy or the inspiration to write your own resume
- You have written down everything and anything you have done in your previous work but your resume still does not look interesting;
- The resume you have, looks primitive and is begging for an overhaul;
- You have been inundating mailboxes for years with your most current resume but you have yet to receive a request for an interview;
- You are eyeing for a dream position but know you need to stand out to even be considered;
- You are insanely just too busy to think and sit down to write a resume.
Then, you have to face the reality about the job market:
- For every position advertised, typical resume submissions range from 100 to 1000;
- There is only a 10-to-20-second window to convince your reader that you are interesting and that you should be considered for a job interview;
- On the average, only 1 interview is granted for every 200 resumes submitted
- According to a career consultant, “only 10% of jobs come from sending blind resumes”;
- That if you Google “resume writing”, you will get 12 million hits in just 0.3 seconds
Unless the company you are applying is owned by a relative or you happen to have an accomplishment that made you famous, chances are, you will need a resume to convince the recruitment officer, headhunter, hiring committee, and many others that you are worth calling for a job interview.
Pre-qualifying an applicant through his or her resume is a critical part of today’s screening process. Your resume is your full-blown business card and repository of contact information. It speaks of your writing skills. It is a tool for self-promotion. It is a document that tells the recruiter why the company should hire you, and what you can contribute to the growth and success of the organization. A resume might not get you the job, but it can at least get you a job interview!!! So, do it right in form, content and style.
