Getting your résumé noticed and in the hands of the right person is tough. You can’t afford to waste time or make mistakes.
Boring, plain and empty résumés don’t grab attention and they don’t get read. If you want to get an interview, you must gain favorable attention.
Are you ready to be happy, make the money you deserve and land your dream job? Then it is time to avoid the BIG mistakes.
Are you making the biggest mistake?
Failing to address the problems you solve is among the biggest mistakes employers note when talking about résumés. Hiring managers don’t have time nor do they want to stop and try to figure out if you can solve the problem most important to them. Grab their attention by sharing how you can solve their problem!
Here are 3 tips to avoid making this mistake:
1. Use all your fire power to quickly and clearly identify what you can do for the employer.
2. Set your résumé apart by telling the reader about the extraordinary manner or method you use to solve problems.
3. Offer an unambiguous picture of what your new boss will experience when working with you as you solve the problems.
Finally, it is not enough to have a great résumé. You must also be able to avoid this BIG mistake during an interview. If you’re boring or never gain the interviewer’s attention with the problems you solve, you won’t be in the running for the job.
Is a résumé mistake keeping you stuck in a job you have out grown? Will your résumé knock you out before an interview even occurs?
