"Does your resume meet the "So What" test" Many resumes include information that simply does not provide any value to a recruiter and in fact is BORING. In this blog article, Tom talks about making your resume appeal to the recruiter and hiring manager by eliminating boring information. |
"Up the Ante - Do not Stop with Just a Resume or Application Submission" "Many employers require that you submit your application or resume online and the fact is you have no choice, so do it! Just do not stop there; you need to follow up with calls and visits so the employer knows that you are serious about the job. Employers receive 10s if not 100s of submissions, but you can set yourself apart with proper follow up" |
"What is your unique value or selling proposition" "What makes you different from the other applicants? What special qualities or skills is the employer looking for that you have? A successful job search requires that you differentiate yourself from your competition; not only differentiate, but make your competition irrelevant." |
