Are Resumes Vital To Get That Dream Job?
“Resumes don’t tell the whole story. The interview is what’s important.”
“I don’t need a resume.”
“If someone rejects me because of a resume, they’re not worth my time.”
Wrong, wrong & wrong.
Resumes are vital tools. Yes, you need interviewing skills, job search strategy, & a remarkably excellent cover letter. But without a resume, you won’t get an interview, unless it’s with a friend of a friend – & maybe not even then. & ladies & gentleman, the interview is the crucial gatekeeper for every job out there.
If you’re trying to conduct a job search without an absolutely outstanding resume, there’s a word to explain you: UNEMPLOYED.
If you don’t get the interview, your resume is wallpaper. If you don’t get the interview, all those interview skills are worthless. If you don’t get the interview, you’ve wasted your time on the targeted search directed at that particular job.
An interview is your chance to make your resume real. It’s a step every job requires you to take. Without a resume, you’re locked out.
So don’t whine about having to write a resume, write a great four. & when you get that killer job, adding achievements to your resume can be enjoyable indeed!
I understand that writing a resume isn’t necessarily the most enjoyable task in the world, but getting the job of your dreams ranks right up there. Your resume is your ticket to be in the jogging for that job.
