I work with many executives that have never used a resume writer before. I often hear this: “You did a much better job than I would have.” “Wow – this is beyond what I ever would have expected.”

When all is said and done, many state “This is the best investment I ever made in my career.”

Now more than ever, my clients want to see a return on investment from my services.

They realize the #jobmarket has become much more competitive, and feel the need to stand out from others.

Some benefits to working with a certified, trained, experienced writer include:

▶️ Articulating your brand – communicating your value to the recruiter and hiring manager.

▶️ Freeing up your time.

▶️ Landing your next job faster – a strong resume can help open doors to an interview.

▶️ Commanding a higher salary.

▶️ Improved interviewing skills - My clients often report they have an easier time during the interview because they have just gone through the exercise of writing out their accomplishments.

▶️ Landing your dream job – As my clients articulate they value, they become more desirable and attractive candidates. They then have the confidence to go for the best positions and often succeed in being the top candidate.

Sometimes looking like a rockstar at a job interview is not just about how you answer the interviewer's questions. It's about the stellar questions YOU ask the interviewer.

Here are 10 sample questions to ask the interviewer in a job interview:

- Who would make the ideal candidate for this position – what are the characteristics of that person?
- How will the work I’ll be doing contribute to the organization’s mission?

- What were the best things about the last person who held this position?

- What are three ways I can contribute to the company beyond the job description?

- How can I best contribute to the department’s goals?

- How do you see me best contributing to the corporate culture and morale?

- What do you see as the biggest challenges of working here and how can I overcome those challenges?

- What is your vision for where the company or department will be in one year? In 3-5 years?

- How can I best help you and the team succeed?

- What is the plan for the business over the next five years?

#interviewing #careers #jobsearch

When we optimize our #LinkedIn headline, we can get found and noticed by recruiters and hiring managers. Here’s how:

1. List all variations of the job titles you are going for. A sales rep might list Sales | Business Development | Account Management
2. Note what level you are at (Manager, Director, VP)

3. Include a short branding statement

4. Note any industry preferences

5. Capture special skills

6. Add an interesting fact – this will help you build rapport with the person when they call you.

7. Plan to use all 220 spaces – add more relevant keywords if there is available space.

Here are a few examples of putting it all together:

VP Sales | Business Development | Pharmaceuticals | Medical Devices | Drive sales growth for start-ups | Marathon Runner

VP Operations | Global Sourcing & Purchasing | Continuous Improvement | Logistics | Vendor Management | Optimizing operations & reducing costs | Outdoors Enthusiast

#LinkedIn #LinkedInProfiles #Careers

#truestory - Many clients come to me with resumes that are TOO LONG and have TOO MUCH information. Here are some ways to SLIM DOWN your resume so it gets read!

First of all – resume length guidelines

✪ New grads – 1 page

✪ Seasoned professionals – 2 pages

✪ C-Level with long career history – try for 2 pages, unless you’d be leaving off important previous information

Strategies for shortening:

✓ Condense or even remove jobs older than 10-15 years

✓ Expand margins to .5” all the way around

✓ Lower font size to 10.5 – try using Calibri font.

✓ Shorten lines that go run by a few words.

✓ Pick and choose the most important accomplishments.

✓ Shorten the overview section for each job to 3-4 lines tops.

✓ Re-write text that is verbose. You can often say the same thing in fewer words.

✓ Remove everything that’s not related to the job you’re going for.
