Resume Writing

Published on April 4, 2007 By resumelabb In Business

Are you really proud of your resume?
Your resume or curriculum vitae (CV) makes the most crucial first impression on any prospective employer.
Your resume is the strongest tool you have during your job search.
Your resume is your very own personal advertisement, promoter and sales agent - all rolled into one.
Often your resume is your only friend in your hard struggle to find the right job at the right pay.
In spite of that, most resumes are amateur, uninspiring efforts hastily duplicated from any available copy.
Is your resume one of those?
Does your resume look like your career depended on it ? Does it reflect your personality, skills and experience like you want it to ?
Honestly now, are you really proud of your resume?
Are you as confident of your resume as you are of your experience and qualifications?
Is your resume a truly credible document that can and will be fully believed?
Unless you have a very good resume these are all tough questions with unpleasant answers.
Actually these are exactly the questions we ask at Resume LABB
Quite often the response to these questions is a look of utter stupefaction. Are resumes something to be PROUD of??!!
You send out your resume to companies expecting to win a job that will cost the company lacs and thousands in salary and overheads. You expect the company to spend high value management time to interview you based on your resume.
Now think, how much effort have you really put into your resume? Do you think your resume is worth all the attention that you expect through it ? Are you sure your resume is that good?
Any HR manager will tell you that most resumes end up in the dustbin. Will your resume share that fate?
In spite of your qualifications, despite your education, will you still miss out on that dream job? Not because you are not good enough but because your resume represented you ineffectively?
Ask yourself this question: If your resume is only as good as any other candidate's, how can your chances of a job be any better?
Then how can you possibly send across your resume and expect a positive result in a competitive field?
Since the resume is your only initial contact with your prospective employer, won’t you be out of the race even before it begins since you have a resume that does not differentiate you in any way?
