It starts with your resume. Your resume should not be a history of your life. Most recruiters and screeners do not want to read a bibliography.<\/p>\n<p>What employers want are applicants that convey and showcase their experience and skills that the employer is looking for.\u00a0 With so much volume coming into company websites and databases, time is of the essence.\u00a0 Recruiters and screeners don\u2019t have the time to read your entire resume, care about your objective, see where you will be in 5 years, etc\u2026 ! I know that sounds shallow and insensitive but recruiters and hiring authorities are trying to fill their vacancies as soon as possible with a qualified person.\u00a0 \u00a0Recruiters and screeners scan resumes. They look for keywords, buzzwords, and work history. They may look at degrees if a degree is required.\u00a0 As a job seeker, it is imperative that your resume for a particular position or company is structured in such a way that it is very easy for a screener to read through and be able to determine that you are qualified in a very short period of time.<\/p>\n<p>This means you need a lean, mean and straight to the point resume.\u00a0 Show us quickly that you meet our qualifications.\u00a0 Show me buzzwords, quickly show me accomplishments.\u00a0 Bullet your work experience. No paragraphs.\u00a0 Paragraphs are too busy.\u00a0 Recruiters get bored quickly reading boring resumes.\u00a0 Less is more. Less is better when delivering a resume.\u00a0 Remember, recruiters look at hundreds of resumes a day. Trust me, they will run together over the course of a day.\u00a0 So a resume needs to get to the point quickly. So what do you do?\u00a0 You have all of this experience?\u00a0 How do I get my resume to appeal to a recruiter or screener?\u00a0\u00a0 A resume doesn\u2019t have to be your life history.<\/p>\n<p>A resume is a marketing document. It should show that you are qualified for the position that you are applying.\u00a0 It should contain, on the first page, all of the experience that meets and\/or exceeds the minimum qualifications for that position.\u00a0 Those skills should be easy to find.\u00a0 Scan your own resume!\u00a0 If you can\u2019t find those key skills in a 6 second scan, you might want to revise. Make it easy for the screener.\u00a0\u00a0 If a Bachelor\u2019s Degree is required, make sure that is highlighted on the upper part of the first page of the resume. It the position requires solid experience with MS Excel.\u00a0 Excel should be listed a number of times in your Experience Section.\u00a0 \u00a0Get to the point quick. Remember, words like Leader, Visionary, Self-Starter, etc. won\u2019t resonate on a resume.\u00a0 These are qualities that can\u2019t be sold on paper. Save those for an interview.\u00a0 A recruiter can only determine from a resume that you meet the minimum qualifications and in some instances, a resume can prove that the applicant is very familiar with the organization\u2019s culture, etc. So as you are putting your resume together, make sure that you keep this in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself, does my resume show that I meet the minimum qualifications for this position?\u00a0 Are my skills easy to find?\u00a0 Having a resume that conveys your skills quickly as they match up against the requirement is key.\u00a0 Focus more on structure than content. You may only need to convey certain aspects of your career and skill sets in order to be attractive to an employer. Focus on those skills and make sure they are showcased!\u00a0 Remember, the easier it is for the reader, the higher likelihood that you will be found and contacted!!\u00a0 Because at the end of the day, that is what you want. You want your resume to lead to contact with that sought after employer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you find yourself saying this?\u00a0 Do you send out multiple resumes and applications only to receive back, via email, an automated response saying, \u201cThank You for your interest in yadayadayada\u2026\u2026\u201d?\u00a0 Do you feel like your resume goes into the infamous \u201cBlack Hole\u201d???\u00a0\u00a0 Of course you do.
