Resumes are important, but they do not get jobs. What????
Yes, resumes in Atlanta, Macon, Marietta, and other job centers are a
key component of the job search, and are often mandatory, but in and of
themselves they do not get you a job – THEY SECURE YOU AN INTERVIEW or MEETING.
That is their function and mission. This is true for executive resumes and
professional resumes as much as for basic ones.
Job
Searches: Competition
You see, anywhere from 2 or 3 to 2,000 to 3,000 other
candidates are after the position you are, and the resume is the means by which
the potential employer narrows down the field, and selects potential worthy
candidates to fill the job opening. Good resume writers/resume services in
Atlanta and Macon know this, and how intense the job market is in Georgia.
Therefore, your executive resume/professional resume must
standout immediately, and have relevant and somewhat specific content on it
that is easily seen within 30 seconds. Even executive or formal position
resumes are not looked at very long, usually 30 seconds to 1 minute each
(initially).
Resumes:
Snapshots
After a glance, your resume (a snapshot of you) is either
deemed acceptable or denied consideration. That means that YOU are accepted or
denied in no time at all, for the next step in the process. You are in an often
scary and tough competition with others.
As a job candidate, you must not only present yourself
well in a resume, but keep in mind that you are in this vast competition and
must separate yourself from the pack, just to get the interview. (Of course,
you would then need to know how to interview well prior to that upcoming
stage.)
Your professional resume should not only demonstrate that
you are qualified, but likely that you are possibly one of the most-qualified people available (and the
impending interview should strive to prove it).
Your
Resume: Your First Job Assignment
Your executive resume or professional resume is your
first job assignment, and you do not even work for the organization yet. How?
It is your first project for consideration, and you will be judged by what you
present – whether you actually write it or not.
Even if the task is delegated, the final product (resume)
is given by YOU. You got it done or had it done. Understand?
If you do a lousy job with something as important as your
own resume for the job itself, why should the employer even consider hiring you
to do work for them? Hmmmm. Think about it. Would you hire yourself if you
turned-in a bad resume?
All of this means that it is often best if you
hire/delegate the task of writing your resume to a professional resume writer.
We know what employers expect and want to see on resumes, whether in Atlanta,
New York, or Los Angeles. It is almost universal.
Resumes:
Bridges For Futures
Your executive resume not only needs to give a work and
education history, but also specifics of what you have done that indicate that
you have something great to offer in the future. Don’t just list tasks and
duties, but the underlying precepts and values and talent involved per them.
Get it?
The professional resume (usually written by a
professional resume service/writer) must serve as a bridge from the past to the
future. Keep that in mind always. Demonstrate potential awaiting release.
