If there are hundreds of people going for one position I can guarantee
one of these job seekers will be very well prepared and will have a
professional resume.
Remember, it is not the most qualified candidate who gets the job, it
is the candidate who presents himself or herself the best; in other
words, landing a job is 70% presentation, and 30% actual skills and
ability.
Make no mistake -- a successful resume is a marketing document. You
need to sell your skills to an employer and make that employer want to
call you.
Your job search requires that you present the most professional image
possible. And, your resume and cover letter are your first opportunity
to make a good impression
If your resume is less than the best you will be passed over in a
matter of seconds. That is the harsh reality you must face.
You will not get an interview and you will not get the job you want.
You will be with the 99% who lose out on their dream job simply because
of a poor resume or cover letter.
