Getting my resume seen!

When recruiters are reviewing your resume they are reading their job description and not your resume. Consider these options:

1. Identify the key action and/or performance words in the job description
2. If you have the key action skills and desired accomplishments modify your resume
3. Bullet key skills and mainstream tools you are knowledgeable with on the first page of your resume
4. If possible refresh your resume often in any data base where you have listed your resume
5. Consider the level of importance of the job title of the position that you are interested in
6. Mainstream your job titles so they can be clearly understood
7. Identify each and every previous or current employers industry on your resume

Categories of Employment

As candidates search for job opportunities, they will experience an internal review of what is important in a job. Even if you must take a less than perfect position to pay the bills, it is important to recognize your current employment environment. Recognizing your environment will allow you to adapt to your current situation, make good things happen in less than perfect surroundings, learn, teach, and/or mentor good people, and plan for greater future opportunities. Burning bridges in a job that is not your ideal position may surface in the future as a negative.

You can consider that there are at least four categories of employment opportunities:

1. Just a Job: Superficial and not your focus
2. Rust Job: A part of my past which is not a part of my future interest or goals
3. Trust Job: Safe opportunity where challenges are not often or motivating
4. Must Job: Your go-to place where you can be challenged, receive recognition, career path support, and have a strong connection with the work and the work environment
