How to Get an Employer's Attention

If you are trying to land that perfect job, you should be aware of the need to get the employer's attention with your resume and KEEP IT through the interview all the way to accepting the job offer?

How do you do that?

The first thing you need to do is create a resume that answers all of the employer's questions. Question #1: Will this person do the job well? Question #2: Will this person contribute to the current projects immediately? Question #3: Will this person fit in well with the people I already have on staff? Question #4: Will this person work for this company for a long time?

Those are the main questions an employer is looking to answer when finding a candidate for vacant position. If you can fill all of those needs and do so better than any other candidate for the position, you'll be the one signing that employment agreement.

How To Make A Resume

How soon do you need your resume written?

Writing a resume is not the most exciting thing to do. It is something that most of us dread. It takes time and thought and it just isn't fun at all. You know you need one, though, so how about we make it as easy as possible, ok?

There are some essential elements in every resume:

The heading
Objective Statement
Education
Experience
Other (Awards,activities,honors,publications, etc)

Each of these different sections of the resume need to be focused on one thing: The job you want to get. Be honest, concise and enthusiastic and the employer will recognize that you are sincere. Hype is obvious. Employers see so many resumes, they can pick the good ones from the bad ones pretty easily.

Remember that employers weed through resumes rather quickly, too. Yours has got to be better than your competitors if is going to persuade the employer to interview you.

When writing your resume, take some time to truly reflect on what it is you are after, then word each of your statements on the resume so that they lead the employer to one conclusion: You are the best person for the job.
