Beyond Resume Platitudes: The Foundation for Goal Setting

A resume is not just a calling card … it sets the tone and direction for all that you do in your job search.

Our conviction is that your resume drives your entire job search. Certainly it will if you'll agree to do it our way. Honor your resume; understand that it summarizes your work life and charts your future. A resume is not just a calling card. That's one of its important functions, but many people limit it to that. Nor does the resume simply attract the employer's attention and allow you access to the hiring authority, although that is one of its primary jobs.

More important, however, the procedure you use for creating an effective resume reinforces the process of self-evaluation and goal setting. Your resume sets the tone and direction for all that you do in your job search. When you complete the preparations for creating a resume, you will have on paper how your skills and experience can benefit both you and your next employer.

Properly prepared, the resume will introduce you and sell your skills. Moreover, it will be an ally that will never fail you in any facet of the job campaign. In particular, the resume will assist during interviews, provided that you write it correctly and learn how to use it.

In general, they are as poorly written and ill-conceived as the “expert” advice that tells job hunters to ignore them. The one overriding reason that 95 out of 100 resumes don’t work is that 95 out of 100 aren’t worth reading.
