How to make a resume land you the job you want is always at the forefront when you start looking for a new job.

Just a quick tip…

You should be updating your resume with information as you go through your current job or through college. You can always rip information out.

So the 3 secrets…Here they are…

• Specificity
• Money
• Time

Specific

When you want to make your resume hot you should use specifics. Employers don’t want to see general theory and ideas. If they wanted that they could read a physics book. Think about all of the things you have done in your career and write them down in detail. That detail is what is going to help you land that job.

Money

Have you saved your company money? That is another idea that you need to be very specific about and how you accomplished it. When you have either saved or made your company money other employers want to know that. They will see potential of what you could help them do. Remember that much of this is self gratification. Your new boss wants to bring someone on board that is going to make him shine.

Time

As you have always heard time is money. How have you improved efficiencies? Have you doubled your production while lessening your hours worked? List all of the detail you can about how you have helped your company become more efficient…

Cause time is money.

These three secrets should be on everyone’s resume. If you can’t be specific, show how you have saved or made the company money, or that you have improved efficiencies…then I ask what have you done?

Any position can show one or multiple examples of theses tasks. You can too. If you need help post a comment and maybe we can draw something out of it.

So remember if you want to know how to make a resume hot…use time, money, and efficiency to do.

Later.
