| The answer to this question
naturally varies with each person, their job experience, and
their particular circumstances.
We suggest you not to be impatient trying to speed up the
process. It takes time to remember and define skills that
you have developed, and review achievements almost forgotten.
Give a reasonable period of time to organize and enter your
Career Information
data into EasyJob.
Once you have finished, set it aside for one or two days.
On taking it up again, you will find some changes to do. EasyJob
makes the most efficient use of your resume
writing time, which involves these key activities on the
part of the resume writer:
- Remembering and defining your job experience, skills,
accomplishments, and talents. Take as much time as you need
to make a detailed and thorough account of all your professional
activities to date, even those you may consider unimportant.
List all jobs you had in the past, no matter how important
or unimportant they were, or how long you held the position.
- Organizing this information and your individual data within
EasyJob. The thoroughness of your Career
Information Database does not mean that you will cite
all of these jobs in your resume. At the right time, EasyJob
as well as your good sense, will tell you what information
and jobs you should include in the final version of each
resume and which ones you should not.
- Creating a first draft of your resume and cover letter,
then letting it "sit" for 1 to 3 days. It often
happens that you remember some of your important achievements
a day or so after beginning your resume. If you’ve
already prepared your resume you may be tempted to leave
out any new information you remember. Yet, this could be
the piece of information that one or more employers want
to see.
- Refining and editing the first draft so that you can create
an excellent final version of your Presentation Package.
Efficiency is more
important than pure speed. Don’t risk the time
you spent completing your degrees as well as the years
of hard work, sending a resume in which creation you
have spent only a few hours. |
Give yourself the time you need to be sure your resume is
complete, but don't procrastinate, either. Once you are comfortable
with your resume and cover letter, and have proofed them well,
send them on!
EasyJob will provide the contact information you need to
tap into the hidden
job market, where both the largest number of opportunities
and the lowest level of competition exist.
