Tip of the Week: Do Employers Hate Your Resume?

You spend hour after hour finding jobs online, completing online application forms and sending your resume to employers for review.  Then you sit and wait for phone calls and not enough of them are coming.  So, you ask yourself, “What’s keeping me from getting a job?”  Well, the painful truth is employers might hate your resume.

I know—it’s something no one likes to hear.  But, the fact remains that a solid resume is an absolute must.  Your resume is an essential method of marketing your “product” to potential  “customers. ”  And it has to do the job well! 

Your resume is typically your first introduction to the company and it must sing your value, highlight the greatness of your product to solve the company’s problems and make the customer (employer) desire to buy your product on the spot.  “So, how do I get my resume to do that?”  Well, I am glad you asked! 

Below are a few articles that provide insight into some Dos & Don’ts of resumes!  Enjoy and Happy Hunting!

Very thorough, good mix of lecture and lab work. Al is great! Keeps classes interesting and supplements required test material with need-to-know items from real world experience.

Karine Bucci

Project Management

Great class, loved the interaction and team-building exercises. Plenty of materials and learning tools supplied. Although it was a full week's class, never boring. Donna [Russell] was awesome and gave many supporting examples for better understanding.

Employer Partner Feedback

Dawn has been a pleasure to work with. She is diligent in her efforts to give MicroTrain’s students the best opportunities to connect and network with various companies and players in the job market. The curriculums and certification programs are in line with today’s current IT needs. It’s good to see that they evolve with what employers are most seeking out there. I would recommend to any employer that hires skilled IT workers that they look into MicroTrain’s career services department as a potential source of candidates. The business of hiring can be quite costly, and Dawn and her staff provide a free service to outside companies. This value-add for MicroTrain’s students aligns with their mission in both training and job assistance to set up a win/win scenario for all involved.

The instructor [Al Khalfan] was very knowledgeable in the field. He presented the materials and concepts with a professional touch. He also frequently adds humor to his teachings, which made it easier for me to understand. The support staff was all nice, gentle, caring, and very helpful. The materials, rooms and amenities were excellent and exceeded expected standards.
