How To Avoid Resume Format Rejection and Survive the First Big Test!
You can't afford to have your resume trashed just because you
didn't understand the basic rules for a successful resume and
suffer "resume rejection!"
Your resume is often the very first contact a decision-maker has
with you. So, it better be a blockbuster! You better make a big
impression. And fast! Otherwise your prized resume is headed for
the waste basket.
Resume rejection starts with a misunderstanding about what a
resume can do for you. First of all, a resume doesn't get you a
job. Only decisions by hiring managers can get you a job.
Therefore, the best a resume can do for you is getting a hiring
manager's attention. And that's how it has to be written.
If you think you're going to get ahead by loading up your resume
with every conceivable detail about your work history, you just
lost. Resumes are first scanned in less that 50 seconds. If
something pops off the page to grab the reader's attention, then
your resume may survive the first test. It gets put on the
"keeper" stack for later review and more careful reading.
The very first rule of a successful resume is that it must be
readily scanable in 50 seconds or less. Do NOT write more than
two pages. And make them very readable with wide margins and
good spacing.
The second rule is that your resume must have a headline. It's a
lot like reading a newspaper. You're attracted to an article if
there's a headline that grabs your attention. The same is true
of a resume. Your headline is an attention-grabbing statement
that states very directly what you have to offer the reader.
The third rule is to avoid an "objective statement." This
self-serving announcement has little or no meaning to a
decision-maker. He/she could care less about what you're looking
to get out of this job. The reader is interested in learning
only two things: what can you do for my bottom line? . . . And
what can you do to make my job easier?
Instead of an objective statement you want to make a "summary
statement" in which you lay out in assertive language what you
bring to the table that can make a difference.
There are many more pointers that can help you improve your
resume and give it a stronger impact. But if you observe these
three basic rules you'll survive the first big test and avoid
resume rejection.
