Time to Brush Up the Resume

22 March, 2009

Well it is that time of year again, the holidays are over and employees are ready to tell their employers where to shove their jobs! All around the world this phenomenon of post holiday blues causes men and women to look to where the grass is greener and start searching for their happy place amongst a plethora of possible jobs. Well before you go and do something silly like resign or get yourself fired, you should be having a look over your resume. A resume should be a living breathing account of your relevant life history that demands the attention of perspective employers. It should be regularly and specifically written to target particular industries and or levels of management. Many people rely on just writing a separate cover letter for each job application but many people will not be getting the job. Changing your resume to suit a sector of the employment market allows you to promote yourself in a more targeted fashion, thus increasing your chances for success. In much the same way that advertisements differ greatly with each demographic or fishermen use different bait, your resume should too.

Once you have compiled a resume or sufficiently updated an existing resume, you can begin to circulate it. Most employers will allow you to electronically submit your resume so they can short list applicants and avoid wasting time interviewing unsatisfactory candidates. This is a good way to gauge your competition. Not all of us are regularly involved in the job market and it can be difficult to objectively assess your skills and hence your worth. Therefore it is a good practice to use the resume submission process to bracket which jobs are within your reach. It is best to start from the top down as many people actually undervalue their skills. We often fail to realize the amount of skills that we may have developed within out current job and when returning to the job market we don't look high enough. A good start is sending your resume to out to jobs that offer wages that are about fifty percent above what you were receiving in your previous or current job. Remember, don't be offended if you don't get any replies from some of your applications. To get more free tips and help and even sample resumes you can visit http://www.worldofresumes.com. You may well be under qualified, but you need to start somewhere. Learn from the experience and have some faith in yourself. Good luck job hunting!
