Resume and Interview Tips

Resume 101 - The Mighty Ideas to Help Dramatically Improve Resume Response
By:Darrell DiZoglio

It is absolutely essential to eliminate the weakest points in your resume and cover letters of course. Since about half of professionals write their own resumes, you will become emotionally attached to your work during the creative process just as an oil painter would. There is one difference though; your resume has to impress enough employers to generate the interviews you need to get hired promptly. The penalty for having glaring weaknesses on your resume or missing the mark with your target audience because you do not have the ability to think like a hiring manager is an eerily silent phone.

The effective solution is to simply take advantage of a free resume review that most professional Resume Writers offer via email. Notice I said Writers, not companies since the large companies usually send out 100% automated responses to these queries which are utterly useless for you. I know this will come as news to some of you, but the spell checking feature in popular word processing programs only catches about half of the errors on your documents. Yes, I did say about half of all errors are missed.

Among the many things it will miss include all of the following. Homonyms, these are words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings such as to, two and too or their and there. A misspelled word that is a correctly spelled word that looks similar to the intended word, such as Manager and manger. A manger is still a feeding trough for animals, but looks silly next to the word department in place of a job title. Other common undetectable errors include proper names, capitalization, phone numbers, address numbers, dates and well, anything else with numbers. Using the past or present tense correctly, number agreement and foreign words for people, places and things usually go unnoticed too.

Also, often missed is popular industry jargon and acronyms used in technical, health care and military resumes. You get the point right? However, the most critical errors by candidates in a job search are actually errors of logic, know how, omission or a complete lack of marketing themselves. Now you know the helpful solution. Do not wait four more weeks and wonder why you are still not getting interviews. I suggest you become proactive and borrow some expertise from someone who will tell you the cold hard truth. You are not revealing a weakness here, it is a well accepted fact that 88% of all resumes are not effective enough to earn interviews. Instead, you are merely learning to fish from someone who knows how. Sometimes when you are fishing, success is all about using the right bait.
