I am so done with reading articles about “how to get your resume noticed”

Want to get your resume noticed, then do this:

1. Use the free downloadable spreadsheet to organize your thoughts, experience, education, etc. at www.jobcoachvideo.com on the Products Page.



2. Let the first ½ of the first page of your resume “sell you” by including:

Your name (yes your name) and the name you use every day and not some formal thing no one ever calls you except maybe your mother when she is pissed off at you which usually includes your first, middle and last name.

Your contact information that has a phone/mobile number with a nice professional message and not some electronic message.

A normal email address and not something like fullmonty69@gmail.com and no lie, saw this on a resume before.

A few very BOLDED words telling the reader what you want and that does not mean an “Objective” to which if you include an objective will immediately date you back to the 1980s regardless if you were born then or not.

6 to 8 very short 3 – 4 word bullets telling us your expertise and value.

Note: The reason for the first ½ of the first page getting your “message” across is so important, because you are only going to get frkin obligatory 30 second look by some human being in HR. Refer to my blog post What the Hell Am I Doing Wrong (Part 3) for that horror story.

3. Make sure you name shows up on the resume. Obvious perhaps, but seriously, if the font size is less than 9, I will not be able to find your name, or worse have to get out my readers to find your name. No lie, a true story as to why someone didn’t their resume read was due to the font being too small. OMG, need to go to a second page on your resume because you need to be at a font 9, then go to a second page and forget whatever College Career Center representative ever told you because if you have the content for a second page, then create a second page.

That’s it, but if you are still confused and believe me you shouldn’t be, just reach out and let’s see if I can help you at tim@jobcoachvideo.com.
