I am working with a client who had a pretty typical resume. She had the information on her jobs, responsibilities of those positions, and an objective. This client had been sending out her resume but not receiving any responses.
We worked together to identify her specific accomplishments, develop a summary of her skills to include at the top of the resume, and used bold type and underlining to really draw the eye to her most significant points. The information is more powerful and so has been the response!!
Two resumes sent out in the new format generated two phone calls for interviews!! We used The Five O'Clock approach to resumes and are getting meetings. Our next step is to develop an effective cover letter for targeted mailings using the same concepts.
Contact me if you would like the details on this type of resume revision.
