Some resume tips
-
More is not always better. Focus on what matters to the
position you are seeking and the company you are providing it for. A general
resume is not effective, so don't bother writing one or sending it out.
-
If you have identified six or fewer recruiters to work with,
send a resume specific to the field in which you wish to work and then
follow up with the recruiter about tailoring to a specific job order.
-
Try to monetize the accomplishments you list.
-
Don't say you "spearheaded" this and gobbledegooked that. It
makes you sound desperate to say you accomplished something you didn't do.
Emphasize your team role, not your individual role. "Part of team
that..." If it's not obvious from your qualifications that you led the team,
you can bring this out during conversation about the job.
-
Ideally, you will not send a resume before discussing the
intended employer's needs and how you can meet them. A resume sent before
this point generally makes you a commodity.
-
Use your network to identify job leads; a resume does not
open doors and generate job offers, because employers are buried in resumes.
They aren't going to read your resume, experience near rapture, and phone
you up demanding an interview as soon as possible. Life just does not work
that way.
