Dear Job Seeker,
Here’s a confession. Sometimes when I’m working with a client company in my Human Resource (HR) Consulting role to find a new employee, I just have to stop reviewing material from candidates for a few hours, or I’ll go batty.
It seems like the only thing that changes on the resumes and cover letters are the names and addresses. Otherwise, they all look the same with the same worn-out phrases and clichés!
EVERYBODY and I mean EVERYBODY is “highly motivated,” has a “proven track record,” is “results-oriented,” etc., etc., etc.
These phrases have lost their meaning because every document has the same information!
Now let’s be realistic. A resume requires a certain amount of basic information that will allow the reader to compare the requirements of the job to the skills that the candidate represents in the resume.
And the cover letter is an opportunity to personalize your skills to specific needs of the employer and the position.
As such, resumes and cover letters become “screening out” tools, rather than “screening in” documents.
Getting “screened-in” depends on 4 things:
Here is what I know that allows us to create job-winning resumes and cover letters:
Our resume and cover letter writing process includes numerous phone interactions along with a special web interface where both parties can view each others computer screen. The actual steps of our process include:
You complete the forms associated with the book, Secrets To Getting Hired.
You submit the forms and any samples of previous resumes and cover letters.
The submitted forms are analyzed by one of our experienced consultants who is trained in our unique job search copywriting techniques.
Next begins a series of phone conversations between you and the consultant to discuss many issues such as:
a. Your position objective.
b. Your resume of choice – comparable, step-up, step-down.
c. Your cover letter of choice – response, cold, semi-warm, warm.
d. Factors that could inhibit your employment.
e. And many more…
Finally, the consultant prepares a draft resume and cover letter for your review. The two of you discuss the documents. The consultant will make modifications and return the final documents to you.
You will receive 3 resumes from this process:
a. A Presentation Resume and Cover Letter in Microsoft Word.
b. A Scannable Resume and Cover Letter in Microsoft Word.
c. A Text/ASCII Resume and Cover Letter.
