Wrote my first resume in years last weekend for a job within Boeing. Is there a harder way to present yourself for consideration?
First you write accomplishments and keywords to get through the computer prescreening. Then create short bullets. Sum up major projects that you spent months working on and sweating out. Get a problem/action/result story down to a few words.
Can’t take risks because HR is trying to eliminate candidates first. Nonstandard, out you go.
How do you let your personality through? Your persistence, work ethic, humor and willingness to help the team? How will they know you are exceptional?
Worse you spend hours on a resume that is glanced at for 5 – 10 seconds.
A bland boring resume. Hire me!
Now you know why referrals are still the preferred way to hire employees.
