1CREATE UNIQUE RESUME ELEMENTS
![Page 9: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Employers have to go through hundreds and sometimes thousands of resume applications.
![Page 10: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
They are looking for some uniqueness in the batch.

The days of the boring resume file name and format are gone.
![Page 12: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A competitive prospective worker now has to come up with file names …
![Page 13: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
… and formatting elements that grab the person who is sifting through the pile. Exciting resumes will avoid the trash bin.
![Page 14: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
One example is to create a file name such as “your new hire.doc,” that sends a “hire me” subliminal message to the employer.
![Page 15: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The job seeker should use a layout that isn’t commonplace, as well.
![Page 16: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Special qualifications, experience and schooling should speak to the potential employer in bold or italic letters.
![Page 17: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Make sure your resume includes keywords the employer may be looking for.

2CONDUCT COMPANY RESEARCH
![Page 19: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Conducting company research is mandatory for a person who is looking for a career rather than a job.
![Page 20: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Employers want to know that their future employees know and understand the company culture, goals and protocol.
![Page 21: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The idea is for the applicant to avoid applying to work for a company that may not have the same values that he or she has.
![Page 22: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Knowing where the company stands in the financial market is good to know, as well.
![Page 23: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A prospective employee can mention something that he or she has read during the research sessions upon entering the interview.
![Page 24: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The interviewer will likely be impressed by the person's willingness to learn about the employer.

![Page 26: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Extras are additions to a job interview that stand out from the crowd.
![Page 27: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Interviewees usually bring their resumes and themselves to the interview.
![Page 28: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
An extra-step interviewee could bring something like a PowerPoint presentation or an infographic that states his or her vision for the future.
![Page 29: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The extra material may stick in the interviewer’s mind as a reason to hire the applicant.
![Page 30: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Either of those items will express to the interviewer that the applicant is computer savvy and accustomed to some of the new programs.

4DAZZLE WITH ENTHUSIASM
![Page 32: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Enthusiasm is an element that has power in the employment world.
![Page 33: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Interviewers are more likely to hire a person who expresses enthusiasm than a person who expresses flat over-qualification.
![Page 34: Critical Steps To Capture An Employers Attention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/5681297a550346895d8c1c7e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Enthusiasm lets the prospective employer know that the applicant is highly excited and extremely grateful for the opportunity to work for such a firm.
