Your resume is not the key to getting hired. It&#8217;s a worthless piece of paper. The key to getting hired is getting your work noticed.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to get your work noticed is to start a blog about what you do, where you share all your work for free. I started a blog around how to write an effective resume and have the qualifications needed in the job market and my emails still ring off the hook with people looking for help with their resumes.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone is worried about how to write a resume that gets them hired. But the really important point is not how to get hired, but how to get good at what you do. One thing that is often overlooked is the value of having a blog.<\/p>\n<p>A blog can be an invaluable resource for people who want to learn more about their industry. It is a great way to connect with other people who have already been established in the field. It can help you discover important information and trends, so you can better plan your future career moves. A blog can also help you find your voice and develop your expertise.<\/p>\n<p>But most importantly, a blog will teach you how to communicate better with others by practicing and refining your writing skills. You will dramatically improve your ability to translate knowledge into a language that other people will understand and appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways that blogging might help someone trying to get hired for the first time, but this article mainly focuses on ways it can help you optimize your chances of getting hired in the future even if you&#8217;re already employed now!**<\/p>\n<p>Do you know how to write a resume that gets you hired?<\/p>\n<p>I am assuming you are here because you do not.<\/p>\n<p>Well this page is going to help change that.<\/p>\n<p>The resume is the first thing that a potential employer will see of you and it should be designed to impress them enough so they want to call you in for an interview. The key is to make your resume stand out in the pile of others they receive on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with what not to do: Do not use any of these overused words or phrases in your resume:<\/p>\n<p>* Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite * Team Player * Communication Skills * Problem Solver * Self Starter * Results Oriented * Detail Oriented * Accurate * Results Driven * Team Leader\/Supervisor * Well Versed In (Insert Skill Here)**<\/p>\n<p>These are all attempted to sell yourself with buzzwords but instead just come off as someone who does not have anything new or exciting to offer and just wants a job. This creates an unappealing, cookie cutter feel that will make recruiters move onto the next resume. Make sure your resume is different, fresh and stands out from other applicants. One easy way to do this is by including interesting accomplishments, statistics and skills that<\/p>\n<p>The other day, I was looking for a good example of the basic resume format, so that I could display it here on my blog. And I found several.<\/p>\n<p>But one thing kept tripping me up as I went through them: they all seemed designed to get someone a job, not necessarily start a business. To me, they looked like they were focusing too much on what the writer needed to say in order to get hired.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, they didn&#8217;t seem to be selling the blogger&#8217;s services so much as explaining what the blogger had done in the past. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s a matter of taste, but that doesn&#8217;t quite seem professional to me. It seemed to me like something you would do in a traditional job search, not necessarily something you would do if you already had your own business and were trying to attract customers to it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure there are plenty of people out there who have used resumes this way and have been successful. But my sense is that most bloggers probably aren&#8217;t going to use these resumes even as inspiration for their own work, because they&#8217;re focused on explaining past accomplishments instead of projecting future results and branding potential clients with themselves as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Today I am going to share with you a resume writing guide that will help you get your dream job. Have you been struggling to find work? Does it feel like no matter what you do, you can&#8217;t seem to get hired?<\/p>\n<p>As a professional resume writer, I have helped hundreds of job seekers just like you land their dream jobs. To be honest, I can help you too. I will teach you how to write a resume that gets results and how to navigate the online application system as easily as possible.<\/p>\n<p>What are the three most important parts of any resume? The format, the content, and the keywords! There is some overlap between these three elements but they are different enough that they require separate attention.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m the first to admit that I didn&#8217;t have a clue about where I was going with my blog. I had no plan, no clear idea of what I wanted to achieve. The first week was spent on finding the perfect name for my blog, which should tell you everything about how much thought went into this endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>What I did have were two things: one, a burning desire to start blogging; two, an experience in written communications. I applied for a job with a company that was hiring writers for its website, and although I didn&#8217;t get the job, it was an eye-opener. The way they talked about &#8220;content&#8221; made me realize that there is little difference between writing blogs and writing content for the Web.<\/p>\n<p>The next thing I did was go through all my old resumes and cover letters and pick out the best bits of language. And then, because so many people used the same words over and over in their cover letters or resumes, I started playing with those words and phrases until they became my own. The most important part of my resume became a section titled &#8220;Skills &#038; Abilities,&#8221; where I listed all my old resume cliches in alphabetical order by skill (e.g., Ability to multi-task). All of<\/p>\n<p>You have to be careful when hiring a writer to write your resume. You need someone who understands that the resume is designed to get you an interview, not get you a job. A resume is not a document of past accomplishments, it is a vehicle for getting in front of a potential employer so you can present your qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>A resume isn&#8217;t about your proficiency in writing or how well you know how to format a document. A resume isn&#8217;t about what you want from the job; it&#8217;s about what the employer wants to know about you and how well you can sell yourself in order to get the job.<\/p>\n<p>A good writer will know all this and more. He or she will ask you questions and get as much information as possible before they put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard). They&#8217;ll ask if there are any specific skillsets or even software programs that are required for the job that should be included on the resume. They&#8217;ll ask about your personal history, education and career goals so that they can tailor the resume specifically for you and make sure it highlights what is most relevant to the position.*<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u75hUSShvnc?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uSFfRV840Wo?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to write a resume that gets you hired, don&#8217;t.
