Resumes That Win!

by Kassandra McGhee on November 29th, 2010

Writing a winning resume is an art not a science!  And it is an art or skill that you can successfully master!  How you make ask?  Well, it’s all about focus and delivery. 

  • Focus

Focusing your resume towards the company’s needs is essential...and discovering those needs is actually very simple.  Review the job advertisement and/or job description for the position’s responsibilities, requirements, etc.  Also, conduct research on the company (i.e., their goals, mission, products, etc.) by visiting their website, social media pages, etc.  Your resume must focus on how your experience, training, skills, etc. meet the needs of the employer and make you a good fit for the company.

  • Delivery

The message must be loud and clear!  I am professional, I am qualified, I am knowledgeable, I am thorough.  Your resume must clearly deliver the message that you are a well-rounded, well-informed candidate.  Pay attention to detail: concise, proper format, grammar and spelling check, font style and size, utilize bullet points, tailored for your industry, etc.

Want to see more? I found an article that shares some very good points regarding writing a winning resume.

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.

PMP Certification Training, Lombard, 2008

I was laid off for many months and not really getting many callbacks for my resume and no job offers. After I put the letters PMP on it, not only did I see an increase in quantity, but also quality of interviews. I had been spinning my wheels for 5 months, and after the PMP went on, I had 2 job offers in 6 weeks. It really was the "golden ticket"
