Resumes come in many varieties, including basic, student,
traditional, federal, executive, and professional resumes. Resume writers in
Atlanta and elsewhere also come in quite a few varieties, ranging from hack
writers to actual professional resume preparers that can cleverly assimilate
your material and order it properly with just the correct wording and format.
The real job of a professional resume writer is to
carefully craft your material into a crisp resume that secures job interviews
for you. Understand? The resume itself is not meant to be so all-encompassing
to actually get you a job; the system doesn’t work that way.
No, the resume (whether a basic or executive resume or any
other type) is simply meant to make you stand apart from most of the
competition for the position and get you invited through the door for a job
interview.
Human resource staffers, managers, supervisors, and others
that actually look at resumes rarely spend more than 30 or 45 seconds scanning
or reading a resume before deciding if it goes in the good pile (those whose
owners are chosen for interviews) or the larger pile of rejected documents
(file #13).
The point is that your resume preparer must make your
resume relay a favorable impression fast. The layout should look appealing,
with much white space, and it must look crisp and organized.
However, this
layout must be filled with precise facts, adjectives, achievements, awards,
skills, education, positions, activities, training, duties/responsibilities,
and other info that is persuasively worded and geared toward the position being
sought.
Student resumes must demontrate skills, knowledge, and potential. Executive resumes need to demonstrate above average achievements and a dynamic skill set. Professional resumes must show absolute results. Federal resumes need to provide a large amount of data and information. Understand?
Resume writers in Atlanta, Marietta, Macon and elsewhere should know these things. I do. At Jimmy Hall Writing Services (404-580-1501) I write resumes that obtain interviews and allow clients to secure jobs and positions.
