WRITING YOUR RÉSUMÉ
MYTHS ABOUT YOUR RÉSUMÉ & SECURING A JOB
• DON’T USE AN OBJECTIVE TO START YOUR RÉSUMÉ – USE YOUR VALUABLE MULTI-PLATFORM SKILL SETS! Show you are an
ASSET not a LIABILITY
• JOB SEEKERS – Your Product is Yourself! – Market yourself effectively
‘Your Résumé must quickly (under 8-10 seconds) convey that you can save or make money for employers’
• Express your passed quantitative/measurable work ‘accomplishments’
i.e., ‘Responsible of all office operations, and created and ran communication campaigns that increased sales and revenue of company products and services.’
• You should not have anyone write your résumé – write it yourself
• THERE ARE NO RECESSION PROOF JOBS!
