7 Persistent Résumé Writing Myths That Stop All Job Search Progress
By Darrell DiZoglio, CPRW copyright 4/17/2020 all rights reserved
Here we are in April 2020, smack in the middle of the Internet of Things age and some folks still do not get it. Well, someone has to have the expertise and experience to tell you how to avoid months of unemployment, so please pay attention. I hate to see professionals losing all their hope, faith and confidence, so please excuse me for being brutally honest here. Unemployment is financially, emotional and mentally draining. That is bad enough, but this also results in a sizable employment gap on your resume, which compounds the problem by making you the candidate even less attractive to employers. Thus, we need to focus on how to have a productive job search. Your job search should always start with a high-performance résumé that caters to exactly what hiring managers want.
Myth 1: The most popular myth about résumés is that a résumé is just a typewritten document, so I should shop for the cheapest priced resume service in town or online resume builder. Ha! Let's suppose you earn or want to earn a healthy income, who will help you earn the highest salary. land a job with a better company and get hired faster? Would it be the cheapest resume writer you can find or the best resume writer you can find? Would Google Search have 60 million search results for Resume Service if they could be replaced by cheap resume builder software/online resume builder software? Hiring a great Certified Professional Résumé Writer is an investment in your future success that will pay for itself many times over. Your new résumé is also reusable and tax deductible.
Myth 2: The second most common myth about résumé and cover letters in 2015 is that anyone can and should write their own. No way, today every smart professional that earns a healthy income hires the best Certified Professional Résumé Writer they can because their family's livelihood depends on a consistent income. If that myth were true, 92% of all the résumés would not be dishwater weak, dull or merely average. Professional Résumé Writers are still thriving because the candidate (or the company) with the best marketing and advertising normally wins.
Myth 3: The third most common myth about résumés and cover letters in 2015 is that merely average is good enough. Consider this: Your best competition is using professionally written résumés and cover letters already. How does your résumé compare when viewed side by side in comparison? (Here's a hint, if you are like most professionals you over look proper formatting, keywords/SEO, editing, proofreading, great content, effective selling and what hiring executives want to see in an ideal candidate.) The best way to answer this question is to email your current resume to a Certified Professional Resume Writer asking for a free resume review. Consider it a blessing (reality check) that will save you 6-12 months of wasted effort.
Myth 4: The fourth most common myth, which still persists in 2015 is that the automated spell check will catch all the errors for me. Wrong! How can a spell checker know if your email address or mobile phone number is correct or not? Recently I saw "VP of Virtue Realty Entertainer Division" instead of VP of Virtual Reality Entertainment Division on an executive's resume right at the top. He used the spell checker alright (but selected poorly on the list of correctly spelled words) and those words are spelled correctly but it is a total failure as a job title. He didn't see it because he knew what he meant and the colored lines underneath that indicate errors were gone in Microsoft Word. So many errors such as logical, numerical, contact info and homonym errors are not caught with a spell checker. Homonyms are words that sound the same but are spelled differently (e.g. two or too and their, there or they're).
Avoid fatal spelling, logic and grammar errors because they will cause employers and recruiters to give you the cold shoulder (yes, no calls/emails for interviews is rejection). Most professionals are blissfully unaware that automated spell checkers only catch 44% of errors in spelling, grammar and logic. When it comes to typing anything with numbers, industry jargon, abbreviations or medical terminology that percentage drops like a rock.
Myth 5: The fifth most common myth is that résumé builders are helpful for those seeking careers that pay more than $35,000 annually. In reality, those heavily advertised automated résumé builders and cheap and fast typists only produce typewritten work histories or pathetically weak resumes. Unless you are looking for low-paying work with third-tier employers, I urge you to avoid them like the plague. Great résumé writers have never worked for peanuts and never will. Expect to invest in your future and cough up the dough it takes to create and develop a great résumé. Your résumé is the single most important document you own. Use your God-given intelligence and act accordingly.
Myth 6: A résumé is only a brief typed work history that goes back ten years so I can hire any Typist to do it. Wrong, again. It's a powerful career document that is designed to build your value, market and sell to employers/hiring committees. Today, almost everyone that wants to earn over $50,000 annually will invest in a Certified Professional Résumé Writer. That means your career documents will be compared side-by-side with the best in a pass or fail competition for 3-5 rounds of interviews until you are hired.
Myth 7: Résumés are supposed to be all about your responsibilities. Ugh! This is a most persistent myth indeed. Accomplishments, awards, team awards, great results, cost savings generated, improvements in efficiency, productivity and accuracy, goals met/surpassed, complimentary bonus skills, fluency in foreign languages etc. all are far more important than mere responsibilities. Employers stopped looking for worker bees in the 1990s, when the US became the most productive workforce in the world. Now, they are looking for employees who can make significant and lasting contributions.
Another essential part of résumé writing is search engine optimization and keyword density through keyword research and inclusion. It is no longer enough to submit a résumé and cover letter to an Internet website or an employer's database. It must come up in the advanced Boolean search results, otherwise no human eyeballs will ever get to read it.
Your résumé must rank in the top five percent of the employer's database search results because otherwise you will be invisible. Consider when you search for something yourself using Google, Bing and Yahoo, who looks any further than the first page or second page of search results? I can assure you busy hiring managers do not. Today, you really have to earn the right to be hired more than ever because modern technology and the Internet makes it easier than ever for out of state job hunters to be hired. Fortunately, you can hire a great Certified Professional Résumé Writer, not a company or service because you want to know exactly who is writing and editing your résumé and what their credentials are.
If you cannot sell yourself on paper, delegate the task to avoid the dreaded financial consequences. In this job market, selling and marketing yourself successfully on paper is a mission critical priority you just cannot ignore. Most professionals/executives are completely unaware of this fact. Did you even know that only the top five percent of resumes not candidates are selected for interviews? Logically, this means employers actually reject 95% of resumes submitted.
Resume writing is a daunting challenge for nearly everyone, so delegate your resume, cover letter and Linkedin profile writing to the #1 Résumé Writing Expert in the Nation at http://HighPerformanceResumes.com. You will be so glad you did.
Expert Résumé Writing Assistance is the Best Gift for New College Grads!
By Darrell DiZoglio, CPRW of http://HighPerformanceResumes.com Copyright 4/17/2020 all rights reserved.
Even after ten consecutive years of economic growth and bull markets, 90% of all new graduates across the US are unable find the great paying work in their career field they desire. Many will remain jobless for months on end thanks to their subpar resumes and cover letters. The lucky ones will remain working evenings and weekends in retail, restaurants, nightclubs or hotels until they are hired. However, today a 12-18 month job search is routine because there are three important steps where job hunters fail - Networking, Résumé Writing/Linkedin Profile Writing and Interviewing. Résumé writing is the most challenging even for those with graduate degrees. This is because résumé writing is a multifaceted, nonfiction challenge that involves marketing, selling yourself, targeting, Search Engine Optimization (keyword research and insertion), desktop publishing (style), writing, editing and proofreading. Alas, it seems most dedicated professionals and students merely view writing, editing and proofreading as a means to complete another project, so an ordinary 75% effort will do. Wrong!
Today, great career opportunities with top employers are so rare that there are 17 well-qualified candidates for every career opportunity that pays over $50K annually. That means employers are only interested in the top 5% of all well-qualified candidates aka the high potentials. Thus, I can tell you from experience that a gift certificate from a Certified Professional Résumé Writer is definitely what most new college graduates truly need. Often, they do not even realize that their subpar to lackluster résumés, LinkedIn profiles and cover letters are weak/useless because they do not understand hiring from an employer's perspective. Nor do they have the experience in a job search and employers do not provide helpful feedback. Today, automated résumé searches done in databases no longer require traditional résumé screening by HR staff. Fortunately, most Certified Professional Résumé Writers still provide free résumé reviews.
Another challenge new college graduates face is that all hiring managers/executives/HR managers want candidates with industry specific experience. Thus, if a candidate has graduated with a Bachelor's degree, MS/MA or MBA recently, they can easily be bested in the race to be hired if they lack the relevant niche experience employers are looking for. Additionally, most new college graduates are young and unaware they are competing with 3500-5000 well-qualified candidates for each career opportunity. Smart folks know that hiring is diminished by outsourcing, robotics, off-shoring and automation, so employers are currently just as likely to lay off employees vs. hire. Finally, they face age discrimination from employers just like those over 55 do. This is well documented.
The other serious concern is that new college graduates in a job search have virtually no clue that 95% of professionals that earn over $45K per year actually hire the best Certified Professional Résumé Writer they can find. So, the vast majority are blissfully unaware that when their merely ordinary résumé and LinkedIn profile are compared side by side with their competition's professionally written career documents, all their weaknesses are instantly revealed. Even worse, they receive zero feedback from employers and often resort to using online résumé builders (pathetic and useless) in desperation. A gradual descent into months and months without interviews is the typical result without professional assistance. A gift certificate for résumé writing, Linkedin profile writing and cover letter writing services can and will change all that.
When unemployment persists, the gut-wrenching pain of poverty is motivation enough to call a Certified Résumé Writer. But, why wait until they are suffering? Since young college graduates cannot identify where they need help the most in their job search by themselves, why not pave the way for their success right from the beginning? The reason that I know about their failures is that I am often the one they call after 12-24 months of failure. Thus, I am sure that anyone who recently graduated with a college degree would appreciate a gift certificate for expert résumé writing services. First, you are helping them avoid a serious financial struggle and second, there is the lasting and significant return on investment (their new annual salary, bonus and benefits package repeats year after year).
Since quality résumé writing is never cheap, if necessary multiple family members can contribute to the résumé writing gift certificate. My advice is to ignore fast and cheap typists. Their cheap prices are an admission of what they themselves think of their work and how little time they plan to spend on your project. Great writers never work for peanuts. The vital distinction is that you want to achieve the desired results, not produce a weak type written work history. Therefore, you must seek out a genuine Certified Professional Résumé Writer and deal directly with them for superior quality, results and value. The good news is this gift will increase their confidence and benefit them financially for years to come. As a bonus, parents often find they can finally move out and pay for their own apartment too.
To help your favorite new college graduate/s with a Gift Certificate for High-Performance Career Documents call me at 469.540.0455. My services page has all my affordable prices posted for your review. Remember, this is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you.
