The Objective Section in Your Resume

Article taken from JobsJournal.com
By Gina Watson

In order to craft an effective resume for yourself, there are several factors that you need to keep in mind. But one of the first and foremost things to remember is that simply listing your credentials will in no way get you to the interview. You need to present your information intelligently, demonstrate your caliber through proper wording and design, and work very hard to make an impactful beginning.

Should the 'Objective' section be used?

A very common starting point in resumes is the 'Objective' section. The primary aim of this section is to tell employers about your interests, your expectations, and your reasons for applying to the position. A very important aspect has been overlooked here – the company. When a hiring manager looks at your resume, the first impression that he or she will have is that you are concerned primarily with yourself, your gains, and your prospects of growth in the company. Although the self-concern is completely justified, the message that is communicated will not really interest the reader. Why is it so? Where have you gone wrong? It's actually the simple fact that by having an objective section, you negated the interests of the employer and the requirements of the company. This section tends to give the hint that you are more concerned about your own needs rather than the company's. Due to this reason, it is recommended that instead of an objective section, you could use either a 'Profile' section or a 'Summary Of Qualifications' section. Such sections showcase your abilities and indicate the fact that you wish to contribute these skills for the benefit of the company.

Using a 'Profile' or a 'Summary Of Qualifications' section:

By and large, in every possible way, you need to keep the company in the forefront and present your information in a manner that the reader is convinced about your intentions – the growth of the company. If this is the main message that needs to be communicated at the start of the resume, then an objective section does not serve the purpose. For a successful job search start, it is essential that you have a 'Profile' or a 'Summary Of Qualifications' section. Use simple but powerful words, indicate the length of your experience, your additional strengths, and some outstanding personal traits, and end this section with a positive character statement. Also, in order to maximize the effectiveness of this section, make sure that your statements are short and directed. If it is a profile you are drafting, have it in a paragraph form, and the summary of qualifications section should have information in the bulleted form. Whichever you use, both go a long way to make a tremendous impact upon the reader.

Be Yourself on Interviews

Article taken from JobsJournal.com


Interviews are stressful and scary. Will you they like you? Will you wear the right thing, say the right thing, or just get the whole thing right?

When I speak to my clients about why they did not get a job they wanted, they tell me they were nervous. They could do the job and do it well, but the interviewer didn't see it. Or, them. If this is happening to you, and companies aren't seeing the real you, it's because you are not showing it to them.

It's important to be yourself on inter views. If you pretend to be someone else, or employers do not see the real you, you may (or may not) get the job, but it won't be too long before you are looking for another one.

So, How Can You Be Yourself? Follow These 4 Steps Below.

1. Let Go of Fear

If you are more concerned with getting it right, then you will end up getting it wrong. Interviews are a two way street. Employers see if they like you and you see if you like them. If you just want to be ''selected'' for the job, then you don't get to shine. Let go of what could happen wrong and focus on what on could go right. You are perfect for the job. You know it in your gut. So go in there and show them what you got. It's OK to be afraid; you just don't want that fear to get in the way.

2. Prepare, Over-Prepare, and Then Let It Go

It's important to prepare for an interview. You want to know about the company, what they do, and what you can do to help them reach their goals. But at some point, preparation stops and you take over. Think about a time you had a challenging situation at work. You thought about the solution and came up with a way to tackle the problem. But at some point, you had to let that all go, and ''you'' took over. That's when you were the most effective. You can't plan for everything, so don't. Trust that you will do great on your interview, and you will be able to handle whatever unexpected challenge comes your way. Your reward for trusting yourself, and being yourself, is a successful interviewing experience.

3. Be Helpful

Everyone wants to be seen as someone who can do a job well. But if the interview is only about you, and you are only concerned about you, the interviewer will be wondering about them. Take the focus off yourself and instead put your energies on the person you are talking to. Find out about them; what they want and what's important to them. Sometimes when I debrief a client after an interview, I ask what the interviewer struggled with the most. Most don't know. When you go into helpful mode, you forget about yourself, and your concentration shifts to the other person. This is when the real you comes out.

4. Ask Questions

Interviews are a give and take. You are asked questions and then you ask questions in return. Answers to your questions help you feel better. And, they take the edge off. Most people are afraid of the unknown. Although you may want the job on paper, the company, its policies, and the people who work there are unknown to you. Questions help you get answers that put you at ease. And when you are calmer, the real you can come out.

How to Get an Employer’s Attention in 20 Seconds

Article taken from Careerealism.com
By Jessica Holbrook Hernandez

I review a lot of resumes, and they often land in my mailbox with the exact same titles: resume.doc or resume.pdf. Can you say boring? Try these alternatives to stand out as an interesting candidate:

1. Your Name Resume.doc — This minimum level of personalization ensures your resume will remain attached to your application.

2. Your Name Resume December 2010.doc — While this is also fairly generic, it suggests your resume is constantly changing, requiring you to date each updated version.

3. Your Name, Job Title.doc — This title utilizes the power of suggestion to show the employer how nicely your name and the job title go together. For instance, “Jane Doe, Financial Project Manager.”

4. Your Name, Humorous Statement.doc — Don’t try this at home unless you work in a field where creativity is the name of the game. For example, “Joe Smith, Nebraska Hula Hoop Champion 2002.”

5. Your Name, Branding Statement.doc — Using a branded resume title is a powerful way to scream “read me!” For example, “John Grisham, Bestselling Crime Novelist”, or “Tiger Woods, Global Golf Champion.”

Remember, the hiring managers reading your resumes receive hundreds of applications for every position they post. Something as simple as a catchy document title can catch a hiring manager’s eye and leave them wanting to know more!
