Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 11, 2010 -- Having a well-written resume is not an option for today’s job seekers. When the economy is uncertain, you want to make certain that you are promoting yourself as the type of candidate today’s cautious companies want to hire. According to Wayne Richardson of Resume Firm (www.ResumeFirm.com), a leading resume assistance service for mid-career and senior-level professionals, there are several little-known strategies that can make a resume a winner.
First, don’t use common resume templates that make your resume lost in a crowd. Employers are flooded with resumes that look alike. Make your resume noticed by structuring it like an enticing proposal, not a dry list. The goal is to have a resume that genuinely stands out. Second, use appropriate industry keywords throughout the resume. This is important when you are looking for jobs online, since much of the hiring is now done electronically. The keywords should be effectively located throughout your resume and be relevant to the type of jobs you are seeking.Third, focus your resume on what employers need. Instead of using the usual job descriptions, clearly summarize how your unique skills and knowledge can be valuable to new employers. Help employers see why you are a potentially better catch than other applicants.
