RÉSUMÉ MYTHS
Myth #1 – I can do my own résumé – And it might be true…
There certainly are people who can. But most of us can’t be that objective. It takes asking the right questions to get the most useful information highlighting your achievements. Then you must address the audience to whom you intend to direct your résumé. You have all the facts, but we will take that information and emphasize those accomplishments – putting you in the best possible light. Employers want to know why they should hire you for the job over someone else. If the interviewer wants to present your résumé to her/his boss, that résumé should be attractive and underscore your accomplishments. That’s what we can best do for you.
Myth #2 – My résumé will get me a job…
Sorry, but your résumé is intended to get you an interview. Once you have the interview scheduled, you will be in a position to study the company and prepare for your interview. Your accomplishments, experience, knowledge of the company, and the way to conduct yourself in an interview gets you the job.
Myth #3 – The more information I include in my résumé and cover letter, the more likely I am to get hired…
Unfortunately, this is probably the biggest mistake people make when they prepare their own résumé. The interview is where you share the information about what you do on a daily basis, how you were able to achieve those highlighted points on your résumé.
