Did you know that the biggest omission of job applicants when writing their resume is to mention thention their accomplishments?  Many people seeking employment quickly list their job duties and completely overlook talking about the work they have done and accomplished. Often,  I see resumes with bullet points saying:

• Responsible for

People often struggle with how to highlight their contributions to an organization or “promote themselves.”  A professional resume writer can help the individual show the value they may bring to their new employer. Other issues with resumes include spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting and language usage, which may reflect the lack of attention to detail and carelessness.  These glaring errors can quickly promote YOUR resume to the circular file.

Hiring managers and/or Human Resources typically average between 10 – 30 seconds per resume (after being screened by the computer) so it is important that the applicant communicate effectively in the written word, so that their resume ends up on the top of the interview pile.

Here’s to your soaring and securing that interview and a glorious fall!
