Gain Traction, Build Momentum, and Get Results!
Frustrated with Your Resume?
Maybe you are just starting your job search and you aren’t sure how to get started with your resume.
Or you’ve been at your search for a while but your resume isn't generating many tangible results.
You are….
- Frustrated that you aren't getting any response when you send your resume in for jobs online
- Worried that your resume isn't right
- Concerned that it's taking so long to find a new position
- Going in circles trying to figure out what changes you need to make to get the results you want
You aren’t sure what you need to do to get traction, but you know something needs to change.
Where Do You Stand? Here Are 2 Questions to Ask Yourself . . .
Question #1: When you think of handing your resume to a potential hiring manager or reciter, how do you feel?
a. Do you feel confident that your resume tells a strong story about your ability to do the job?
b. Or ... do you wish there were a way to hide your resume or get around giving it out?
Question #2: Do you have a clear sense of the position you are targeting for your job search?
a. If you are clear about your target position, that's great!
b. If you are struggling to write your targeted, interview-winning resume, then it's likely you don't know your end goal ... yet!

Something’s Got to Give
When it comes right down to it, you are really hoping you can find a way to speed up your job search. You want to see progress—get more job leads, be invited back on more interviews, make the short list more frequently, and, yes, get the call with a viable job offer!
You want to feel confident about who you are and what you have to offer potential employers. You know you need a strong resume that catches the attention of your networking contacts and the companies that are hiring people with your skills.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know how to respond
when you hear about a position that’s perfect for you?!
In all the years I’ve supported people in their job search, I’ve seen these two primary ways people can increase the effectiveness of their resume and job search dramatically.
- Your Focus –
Lack of focus is the single biggest reason that resumes don't produce results.
Solution: Identify the position you are targeting for your current job search. Not the “someday” goal, but a practical position that will leverage the skills, experience, and education you already have---right now. Focusing on what you already have will help you activate your job search as quickly as possible.
- Your Value –
If you can’t articulate your strengths, accomplishments and your uniqueness in your resume and in conversations with your network connection and potential employers, you won’t create traction in your job search.
Solution: Take the time to build a competitive resume. With this foundation document in place, you’ll be able to update your LinkedIn profile, other online profiles, and your bio. In addition you'll be able to create customized resumes for positions you consider in the future. You’ll also be able to use these same nuggets to articulate your strengths when you hear about opportunities you are interested in.
