Effective Resumes

Nice article to demonstrate an example of an effective, targeted resume.

The summary is targeted to the position and industry, the qualifications are targeted to the particular job based on the candidate's strengths. 

Each position has a small description of what the person is responsible for, and Most importantly following that bullets that show case the results in action verbs of what the candidate accomplished in each position.

Remember most recruiters look at resumes for seconds.  The first page needs to tell us that you can do the job, you have the requirements and competencies we are seeking, and the results you achieved.

I haven't heard if anyone has found this tool to be helpful and user friendly.  I will report back once I hear.

Great article!  This is why I urge everyone to be careful what is on facebook and any other social media platforms. 

If a recruiter is having difficulties in choosing between two candidates....it may be your online presence that may make the difference in getting hired.

This article is a must read for those who believe that resumes are no longer required. 

While most large global organizations do have their online application process, which has questions that require targeted answers.  When you do sit in front of the recruiter or hiring manager they will still ask to see your printed resume.

 Having presence online is great; however, many HR departments do not have the luxury of time to search for you.  Many still depend on you finding them.

I always suggest a multi-pronged approach.  Every organization is different, and you never know what might get you in the eyes of the recruiter to land you the interview.

Great Article!

Please read, and don't listen to 20-year old myths about one page generic resumes.
