Advice for Job Seekers
Resume Tips:
With today's level of competition for good jobs
your resume has got only one chance to make a great first impression. To be
considered for interviews your resume must have that special something that
grabs the reader's attention and motivates them to call you. Here are five
strategies for transforming a blah document into a WOW resume that will get
employers calling you.
1.
Keep your focus clear and to the point.
The first thing potential employers need to
know is what you do and the position you are interested in. In the past job
seekers have used an objective statement at the top of their resume to indicate
their employment interest. With the lightning speed scanning approach that
recruiters take in viewing resumes, a wordy, vague objective statement taking
up three or more lines of text just doesn't get the job done. In most cases
they don't get read.
Instead, write a short, direct professional
summery that clearly illustrates your career focus. Your statement should
include your profession, how long you've done it and your particular areas of
expertise. Something to the effect of:
Senior purchasing professions with 10 years'
procurement expertise in: strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, financial
analysis, strategic planning, leadership, contract law and process improvement.
Remember, your resume is not an historical
tell-all. To keep your focus clear make sure that everything following in your
resume relates to your focus. Leave off extraneous details.
2.
Stuff your resume with key words.
The more key words you use the more frequently
your resume will show up in online searches like LinkedIn, TheLadders and
CareerBuilder, etc.. Additionally, employer resume data bases also use key
words to query for qualifying candidates. Without appropriate key words your
resume will be electronically ignored. Without key words, your resume is being
shot off into a black void each time you submit it.
A good way to make sure your resume is full of
key words is to check it against job postings. Use as many of the key words
found in the responsibilities and qualifications sections of job postings. As
much as you can, match up your terminology with what you find in job postings.
3.
Keep your resume reader-friendly.
Nothing gets ignored like a resume full of
lengthy blocks of text. No one has time to read through that much information.
Resume screeners need to be able to absorb your information quickly. Leave out
extraneous details so that key facts show up easily. Separate blocks of text
into smaller easy-to-digest snippets of information. Use white space to
separate bullet points so that each stand out. Be sure that your font size is
readable: nothing smaller than 11 point.
4.
Include plenty of accomplishments.
If you want to stand out from the crowd you
must include accomplishments throughout your resume. Write accomplishments that
show how you solve universal problems such as saving time, cutting costs,
improving performance and increasing customer satisfaction. Your
accomplishments should stand out on your resume in bullets separate from your
responsibilities. Don't make the common mistake of combining responsibilities
and accomplishments in a long list of bullets. List your responsibilities in a
small block of text and your accomplishments in bullet form following.
5.
Get your best information on page one.
It's true, if you can't grab their attention on
page one they won't stick it out to find out the wonderful things you've got on
page two or three. This presents a problem for those who experienced their most
productive work five or more years back. The solution is to use the hybrid
resume format that allows you to create a highlight of accomplishments section
at the top of page one of your resume. This area of your resume is reserved for
the best examples of your work. The accomplishments you include should
illustrate the key transferable skills needed for the position you are
interested in.
Don't delay in implementing these resume
changes. Employers are waiting for you with opportunities for a better career
and a better life.

CAREER COUNSELING for those who may be on a job search
“So
Why Should We Hire You?”
If you are currently in a job search chances are
you've been asked that question already. Undoubtedly, it is the most feared
interview question, but one of the most common. It pays to be ready to answer
it. Helps to understand that the question is an invitation for you to sell
yourself. This is a good thing. No one is going to hire you until they have
been sold on you. This is your chance to state your value to the prospective
employer. The best way to answer this question is to prepare for it like a
sales person. There are three steps to selling yourself with confidence.
1. Know your
product “YOU.”
Every successful salesperson knows their product
inside and out. They understand the benefits of each product feature. In like
manner, you must be able to articulate your transferable skills. First, take
inventory of your skills. Make sure the skills you focus on are in demand for
the position you seek. Next, take stock of the times of crisis when you've used
those skills to solve problems. Finally, ask yourself what your employer got
out of your successes on the job. Did you save time or money, increase revenue,
improve service or increase
productivity? Your success stories carry more weight
when you can quantify the results. These success stories make up your selling
points.
2. Know the
challenges of the position.
Before you can tell them why they should hire you, you
must understand their current challenges. After all, you couldn't sell a car
unless you knew understood how it was to be used. Until you know what
challenges go with the position you won't know which of your selling points to
talk about. To learn about their challenges you must ask them.
In the beginning of the interview ask your interviewer,
“What challenges do you see as most significant for this position in the
first six months?” Take careful note of his/her response. You will learn
the “hot button” issues that you must sell you.
3. Match
your skills to their challenges.
Here is where you get to sell yourself. Once you
understand the critical skills they need for the job you simply share with them
your success stories of when you have faced similar problems and how you solved
them. Be sure to include the all-important benefit your company received. Start
off your value statements with phrases like:
“I found a significant savings opportunity
when...”
“My team gained efficiency when I discovered how
to...”
“My boss achieved his quarterly objective when
I...”
Remember, even if you don't get asked “why
should we hire you” it is the underlying question and the point of the
whole interview. Job interviews are your chance to sell your skills, talents
and expertise. Before your next interview practice good salesmanship and
prepare to sell yourself like a pro.
