Answering the question - Before someone else does

Thursday 5 November 2009

There is one last test before you send a resume, e-mail, and other correspondence.

If you were the reader do you see any sentences that leave an open question or thought?

Obviously, there is always loads of detail behind any bullet point or sentence when cramming in your work history into two pages. So don't worry about that.

You are looking for any inconsistencies, unfinished thoughts, conflicting points or anything gives the reader a reason to pause.

The goal is to answer the question before they do. Because they will not likely answer the question the same way you would.

After someone told me what they read in my resume was the eye-opener for me. It helped me look at what I wrote in a new way. Simply put, there is more than just fitting as much experience in those two pages.

Good luck today!
