Session 3 Two-Minute/Two-Page Resume: How to Package Yourself
- The most qualified candidate rarely gets the job, it's the best packaged and promoted.
- Packing--->Advertising--->Resumes
- Promote--->Marketing---->Networking
- Pitch------>Selling------->Interview
- Hiring authorities don't want to know how you are like everyone else, but how you are different.
- Value the product of the product, you don't want the drill bit, just the hole that it makes.
- Purpose of resume is to get the interview, purpose of interview is to get the job
- Include dollars, numbers or percentages ($,#,%) in your achievements on the resume
- Tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, just not the god-awful truth
- Don't confuse activity with productivity
- Don't believe the myth of transferable skills. You need a loyal link, employment platform or avocation leading to vocation. Better yet have all three working for you.
