Resume Rewrite

Overview

Know You're Prepared.

Passing the Hiring Test?

Your resume may meet skill/expertise qualifications but not the all-important "hiring qualifications". In today's candidate-rich market, it is not unusual for an employer to complete the interview process with 3 – 4 finalists — all of whom they believe can technically do the job. So who gets the offer? It's the candidate who has the best attitude for the position, is a good fit with the company and seems to be the strongest overall contributor. Surprise — this may NOT be the candidate with the best expertise.

That's why a 123JobCentral resume goes beyond the simple facts and figures of your expertise. Giving potential employers a detail-rich understanding of your skills and expertise is just the start. Integrating your attitude and aptitude in the resume paints that fuller, multi-dimensional picture — not just of your background, but also of your capabilities. From the HR screener to final decision maker, your resume will show that you have more to contribute than other candidates — making you a "higher percentage" candidate from the first read.

Research Matters.

Today, More Than Ever, A Resume Is A "Call-To-Action".

We're all used to thinking of a resume as documentation of our work history — where we worked and what we did. While elements of your career and your expertise are certainly critical in crafting a powerful resume, its primary goal has shifted.

Your resume's #1 function is to get you on the short list for an interview.

Today, a resume that's just about what you've been doing for the last 20 years in a dry, mechanical, "just the facts, ma'am" manner may show what you've done but it doesn't generate interviews. The writing style is key in communicating your message. Employers are more sophisticated now then they were 10 years ago and so are their interpretations of resumes. A call-to-action resume goes beyond the simple focus on action verbs by painting a picture with rich detail, and yes, even bringing in adverbs and adjectives. It demonstrates your passion and enthusiasm; it feels more personal and revealing. The job descriptions focus more on the impressive, big stuff you did and less on the mundane. "Resume-ese" — the process of diluting meaningful content down to the generic in an attempt to sound more impressive — is over. Explicit details laid out in descriptive context helps employers connect with your expertise. Simplistic, vague statements are replaced with engaging "vignettes" that may take 3 or 4 sentences to tell a compelling story.

This call-to-action resume works because it helps potential readers, from HR to the CEO, better envision what it would be like to have you in their environments. Most importantly, it brings out your attitude and aptitude (your professional personality traits) in on-the-job examples. The result is a greater chance that you'll land the "right" or "dream" job as employers see more of the real you in the resume.
