Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog! Today is December 8, 2009.

In the coming weeks and months, I will attempt to shed some light on the career advancement process.

In today's troubled economy, it is vitally important for job seekers to understand how to navigate the challenges of developing your résumé and preparing for an interview.

For every job opening, hiring managers may receive dozens, even hundreds of résumés. He / she may pick 12 or more for futher consideration, then narrow those down to four or five for interviewing. How do you make the cut? First, you MUST possess the basic qualifications for the job. If you can't show related qualifications, you're probably wasting your time.

Then, your résumé must leap from the pack with an eye-catching headline (not an objective statement), a powerful summary of your strengths related the the job's requirements, be persuasively written with proper syntax, grammar, and spelling, and be distinctively styled. The good news, for you. is that an overwhelming number of résumés submitted for most jobs are incredibly weak and don't make it past the first 15 - 20 seconds of review. Therefore, a well-written and formatted résumé gives you an immediate leg up.
