the job description!
Next time you’re applying for a job, spend some time analyzing the job
description. It’s extremely frustrating to post a job opening for an Experience
Dishwasher receive 300 potential application resumes and not one resume
mentions employment history as a dishwasher.
So recruiters, do the next best thing call the potential
candidates and inquire about their experience. Surprised and Puzzled? The candidate
said “I used to wash dishes for a company ten years ago.”
Job seekers should understand their resume is a marketing flyer
to inform employers of experiences and qualifications.
Your resume should clearly announce your career title and
experience; recruiters don’t want to play the match games with your resume. Recruiters
spend countless hours guessing which candidate will mesh in what position.. so
do us a favor and just add a Title to your resume header. Whatever the position
is you are applying for include it at the top of your resume Entry-Level Accountant,
Experience Registered Nurse.
