How Important Are Resumes?
Showcasing your talents, skills and background is the sure way to land the job of your desires. Possessing the requirements for a job can simply be overlooked by an employer due to an ineffective Resume and Cover Letter. These two elements, can almost always guarantee a position of choice, or at the least, an interview. Many companies are equipped with a staff of over 500 employees, and at times, these companies are unable to interview every applicant when there is an available position. Therefore, your Resume and Cover Letter represents you, your talents and also speaks on your behalf as an individual. Elegance, Simplicity and clarity are only a few factors that employers seek when viewing a Resume. This is your foot in the door and it is what allows a company to take that well-deserved time to arrange an interview with high hopes for hire. This is a competition of words and style, and to be among the best competitors, you need to:
1. Capture the employer through a professional layout and design components.
2. Appeal to the employer by identifying your compatiablity to the job description and to the standards of the employer's work environment.
3. Sell, Sell, and Sell some more! Display your key skills and points that highlight your effectiveness and productivity.
| Your Audience
One resume with the details and information for a variety of positions might become extensive and unappealing to an employer. Your resume should be "position specific," as the wording, highlighting of skills and background, should pertain to the hire in that specific industry. If you are, like many, an individual of many talents and degrees, you should minimize the wording, without jeporadizing the ability for hire.
Example: If you have two Bachelor degrees of different and unrelated subjects, one in Criminal Justice and the other in Nursing, (for whatever reason) and you are highly interested in a Nurse Management position, it is unnecessary to mention the details of the Criminal Justice degree and all of your acquired experience due to that specific degree, unless there was some type of management experience due that past position. My job as an Elite Resume writer, is to do just that; target your employer audience with details of your "position specific" talents, and provide the sense of confidence that is well-needed when in search for the right position. Confidence, will give you appeal to more employers! |
Do I Really Need One?
The effectiveness of a Resume may land you the wanted interview, but when combined with a detailed, specific, and exciting Cover Letter, the possibilities are endless. Elite Resumes, offers the services of an exceptional Cover Letter, again, with the specific needs as described by you in our initial contact.
It is said by many career experts that Cover Letters are expected along with a Resume in the times of today's workforce. So, why limit your potential to land the job of your dreams because of an absent Cover Letter?
That statement is as true and real as it gets. It tells the employer that you, as the potential hire, is more than worthy of the position due to the amount of preparation and time you took to put together an effective Resume and a required Cover Letter. Face it, without a Cover Letter, your Resume might not even get close to the desk of the Hiring Manager.
Elite Resumes will make sure that the Cover Letter is compatiable in design, layout and wording to that of the Resume. Remember, its all about appealing to the employer and their environment through your talents and ambition.
