WRITE A RESUME... DO NOT WRITE A RESUME...
with the goal to persuade the employer to call you
knowing it is your ticket to getting the job you want
with enthusiasm
thinking it is only a history of your past
thinking it is a personal statement
thinking it is some form of self expression
CREATE A MASTERPIECE!

research shows that only 1 interview is granted for every 200 resumes
your resume will be quickly scanned, not read
10-20 seconds is all you have to persuade a prospective employer to read further
top half of the resume will either make or break you
people often buy the best advertised product, not the best product

FOCUS ON THE EMPLOYER’S NEEDS, NOT YOURS:
Ask yourself, What would make someone the perfect candidate? What does the employer really want? What special abilities would the perfect candidate have? What would set a truly exceptional candidate apart from
a good one? Gather hints from...
the help-wanted ad other people in the same company or field the prospective employer (call and ask what they want)
