What Are You Made Of?
Surely you're capable - and maybe even qualified - of writing your own resume. But, can you emotionally detach yourself from the document? Can you review it critically – the way a human resource person would? Will your resume elicit a phone call from the interviewer? Will your resume give you the opportunity to sell yourself in person?
Your resume is the key to getting in the door. If it doesn’t fit, you won’t get in. It’s as simple as that. Competition is fierce today. You must present yourself in a way that gets you in the door. You only have one chance. Make it work for you.
Before you buy the new suit or splurge on a new hairstyle, take a look at your resume. How does it present you? Does it clearly represent the skills and knowledge required for the position you seek? Is it authentic? In other words, are you able to defend and sell the resume in person? Resume Pie asks you the tough questions, so you know how to handle issues in advance.
