One-size-fits-all
resumes
Job seekers pursuing more than one objective
often make the mistake of preparing a “one-size-fits-all
resume”.
The problem with this approach is that the hiring official
may get confused about your objective, or the key information
needed to make a decision is buried within the resume.
Fast resume scanning
Hiring managers receive hundreds and even thousands of resumes
for just a few positions. They frequently rely on fast "resume-scanning"
to eliminate candidates whose qualifications don't match the
job requirements, and to save for consideration those resumes
which present matching qualifications. In other words, resumes
focused on hiring managers’ criteria will get a closer
look, and the ones that are unfocused will be discarded.
Several targeted resumes improve your chances
If you have more than one career
goal, the best strategy is to develop several resumes
that target your different objectives.
Instead of preparing a “one-size-fits-all resume”
you have to create several “made-to-measure” resumes
to capture the attention of hiring managers and get the job
interview.
Creating several resumes, each targeted at a given potential
employer is a breeze with EasyJob
Resume Builder.
Using EasyJob all you have
to do is make the application’s “acquaintance”
by describing
who you are, your level of education,
work experience,
and some other specific information the program will ask you
to input.
