JOB SEEKERS ARE CONFUSED ABOUT PREPARING A WINNING RESUME

MANY JOB SEEKERS ARE CONFUSED ABOUT PREPARING A WINNING RESUME.
Do you know what to include and what to leave out? Or how to improve your job titles? These are tough decisions. Most people still include "red flag" items or negatives or turnoffs.
Do you know how to write a good Job Objective for 2011? Most people can't do this!

Are you still decorating your resume with 30-50 cute black bullets? Why? They won't impress anyone or help to get you hired nowadays.
If you are not spending money on a resume, are you still copying blindly from SAMPLES that were created well BEFORE the 2009 recession? They written for others with work histories that are different or with different resume problems such as age or too little or too much or unrelated work experience or too little formal education? Would you also take the medicines that were prescribed for them by their doctors? Of course not!

At best, COPYING FROM SAMPLE RESUMES IS ONLY A START. Samples do NOT reveal the secrets of what was left out and what had to be "fixed". Even worse, you CAN'T ask a sample resume any questions!

Are you still relying on outdated (or even recent) RESUME TEMPLATES? These CANNOT help you write a winning resume that stands out. Your resume will look like thousands of others!
Recruiters only know how to screen out a weak resume. They cannot write or construct a winning resume.
Teachers and Human Resources persons do NOT know the nuts-and-bolts of resume writing. They are like baseball catchers who can advise the pitcher on what type of ball or selection of pitches to throw. They CAN'T teach you the technical skills of a pitcher. Selling yourself means "pitching" your strengths and abilities to a new employer -- on paper and in person.


The BEST person to ask for help is a GOLD STARRED writer with lots of testimonials from successful clients. [ http://www.winning-resumes.com/testimonials.htm ]
As a resume expert with 24 years' experience, I know that most people are NOT very good at selling themselves on paper! It is an art -- the art of the advertising copywriter.
NOTE: Even if you have "perfect" qualifications and great writing skills, to sell yourself short on paper in 2011 can be a BIG mistake! You see, it's the applicant with the best resume that usually gets hired -- NOT the one with the best credentials. Is there a better reason to spend money on a resume?
To hire an experienced executive resume-writing professional would be a very smart move. He or she will increase your chances of being hired and also shorten the time your job search takes.
Moreover, the process of interacting with someone who has already assisted many others in similar situations, will benefit you in many ways. All in all, it may be one of the best and most profitable decisions you will ever make!
