Ten Quick Keys to a Top Notch Résumé

When was the last time you wrote a new résumé? Was it 1, 5, or 10 years ago? If necessary, are you prepared to apply for that next job? In the past, have you gotten the interviews you sought? Were the job offers worthy of your experience? If not, then why? Could it be that your résumé lacked the qualities, power and content needed to reach your employment goals? Perhaps you are a candidate ready for a résumé overhaul.

In the world of employment, companies have little interest in reading résumés. In fact, most résumés are downloaded into a database where they can be extracted by key words such as Excel, management, presentations, CPA...etc. They are also scrutinized in the areas of multiple job changes, education, and progression of responsibility. Of course these are the critical areas that are used to select candidates, but do not forget that a first impression may be your résumé’s cosmetic impression. How does your résumé stack up over all?


1.Résumé NO-NO’s. Don’t lie. Don’t include any personal info. Don’t include salary/supervisor’s info. Don’t use "I", instead use, "Duties included..."

2.Keep it to one page. Your résumé should be clear, concise, creative and one page.

3.Use bold, italics or underlining to emphasize a power point. Best to have only a few items highlighted to gain the most impact. Choose carefully.

4.Make a list of any special projects, new responsibilities, and all job duties.

5.Identify your style. This includes font (size and style), paper stock (type and color), and tone (language choices). If unsure, go conservative.

6.Choose your format. Most employers prefer a chronological résumé that begins with your current/most recent position and goes backward. A functional résumé is valuable for the employee with multiple jobs changes. This replaces the focus on the skills, achievements and experiences. Rather than set up by dates, there are categories of experience and employers are listed without descriptions.

7.Objective: Not Required. A power resume often excludes a general objective statement in place of a "Summary of Qualifications" section. This is accomplished by presenting bullets of key skills and qualifications. Use key words that would pertain to each particular position in which you are applying.

8.Employment History. If possible, combine all positions that you have held within the same company. Focus on the most significant role. You can omit a position that you held for less than three months if necessary. Use varied language in your job descriptions and do not be redundant. Abbreviations in moderation are acceptable.

9.Education. Everyone has some type of training or education that may be valuable to an employer. Document any education that would be related or helpful to the positions in which you seek.

10.Technology Experience. Are your computer skills up to par? This is a key area for employers today. Always document your computer knowledge, both hardware and software. Also, include industry-specific programs and Internet skills.
As you approach a résumé overhaul, keep in mind that this will be your professional paper commercial for the employment world. It should be a glowing recommendation of your history with significant highlights that would benefit your next employer. When you have completed the overhaul, ask a friend for constructive criticism. They may give you a different insight as to the message that you are sending out. Remember this one last key: The answer to a great résumé is to revise, revise and revise!

3 Steps to Answer the Dreaded Question: “Tell Me About Yourself”

Recently, an Excelle community member asked me how to successfully answer the dreaded “Tell Me About Yourself” interview question. (See full question here.)
My Response:

The dreaded, “Tell me about yourself,” question stumps a lot of folks. People of all ages and experience levels blow this one. So, I’m thrilled you are concerned about the best way to answer it.

First off, please know they are not asking you for a boring chronological re-cap of your professional history. That is the quickest way to lose their interest! What an employer is really asking is, “Why should I hire you?” That being said, here’s my 3-step process for giving them an answer that gets their attention.

STEP 1: Explain what business problems you LOVE to solve.

Enthusiasm for solving a business problem they need help with is the quickest way to get a hiring manager’s attention. Let’s face it, they aren’t hiring you for the heck of it. You need to explain how you can make things better for an employer.

STEP 2: Provide examples of your experience to show them how you know this is a good problem to solve.

Companies hire people who can either save and/or make them money. So, when you provide examples from your personal or professional past that demonstrate the value your problem-solving skills provide, you are proving your worth. It also shows you are thinking like an employee who understand that their job is to make things better for the company.

STEP 3: Explain why you want to leverage your problem-solving expertise for the employer.

Let them know how you hope to grow your skills and abilities by taking your problem-solving skills to the next level. This lets the employer know you plan to focus on being successful and expanding your value to the organization if you get hired. Employers love candidates who clearly plan to hold themselves to a higher standard.

If you follow this 3-step guideline, I guarantee you’ll create a compelling story that will have the employer sitting up and taking notice. This is your chance to sell you value – don’t pass it up!

Quick Tips to Improve Your Resume

Here are five quick tips to help you write a resume that gets noticed.


1.Remove sentences that begin “Responsibilities included…” That works for a job description, but not a resume. Instead, list accomplishments. People who read resumes want to know what you’ve done.

2.When writing accomplishments, quantify them whenever possible. For example, “Increased sales 15%.” “…resulting in savings of $40,000.” “…doubling the number of customers.”

3.If you’ve had at least one job in your chosen field after graduation, list your education after your work experience.

4.Tailor your resume to fit the job you want. If you are responding to an ad, and you have six of the eight key requirements, be sure your resume says so. Don’t make the reader infer how competent you are. Companies generally spend less than one minute reading your resume during the first screening.

5.Make sure there are no typos or improper uses of words. One of the top traits that hiring managers want is excellent communication skills. Since spell checkers don’t catch everything, be sure to have someone else proofread your resume.
If you want to improve the odds that you’ll land a job you’ll really love, make sure your resume reflects your strongest motivations and talents. A career assessment can be an enormous help. Not only does an assessment identify what truly motivates you, it gives you words to help you explain it. Weave those words into your resume so that it accurately represents your potential.

For example, your assessment may show that you are “Methodical and thorough in routine procedures.” Use those words, link them to a specific accomplishment and you’ve just strengthened your resume. Try it with all of the traits where you score your highest levels of motivation. These phrases will stand out to hiring managers who value these traits.

3 Reasons to Avoid Making Phone Interview Mistakes

The reality is, a Phone Interview is one of the most important steps in the recruitment process for almost every position available in today’s crowded job market.
More and more people are looking for work which means the volume of applicants for most positions has simply become too large for one person to handle. So, Hiring Managers are relying on HR Professionals and Recruiters to cut this volume down to size through Phone Interviewing–so only those A-level candidates get the Hiring Managers attention.

In other words, Hiring Managers are too busy to deviate from their core responsibilities to screen every candidate who might apply to every position they may have open under them. So, they put their trust in HR Professionals and Recruiters to find the best candidates from the high volume applications received.

It’s like auditioning for a play — everyone who is interested can try out, but on opening night, the audience will only see those who preformed the best at the auditions. Like the audience, the Hiring Manager wants to be impressed when the “actors take the stage.” So, if you make mistakes or fail to perform well at the Phone Interview Stage of the process your big break could be in jeopardy.

You have to treat the Phone Interview seriously and ensure you are prepared. Here is why:

1. Although, the Phone Interviewer cannot give you the job, they can take it away from you.

Don’t get me wrong, the Phone Interviewer is not out to get you and they will not be overly critical. (In fact, it would make their job easier if you do a great job on the Phone Interview.) But, they will be watching for red flags and mistakes. If you make a serious mistake, they have no choice but to fail your Phone Interview.

2. Recruiters are your allies on the inside.

Impress a Phone Interviewer and they will quickly become the strongest ally in your network. Think of it like this: The Recruiter and the Hiring Manager have a rapport, they work closely together, talk to each other everyday, and the Recruiter has gained the trust of the Hiring Manager. As a job seeker–that is someone I want on my side!

It’s one thing for the Hiring Manager to see on your resume you have sales skills, but its quite another for a Recruiter, someone the Hiring Manager trusts, to tell the Hiring Manger you have a high selling potential.

The Recruiters job is to “sell” qualified candidates to the Hiring Manager. You want to be in that crowd and an error free Phone Interviewer will get you there!

3. Your resume doesn’t tell the whole story.

You have so much you would like to share on your resume. I understand–it’s not easy to display a ten year career on a couple of 8 ½ x 11 pages.

By properly preparing for your Phone Interview, you can really help yourself here. A Phone Interview is going to (likely) consist of questions related to your past experiences and job qualifications. It’s really your chance to get the proudest and most successful moments of your career on record. But, you can only accomplish this if you have taken the time to properly understand the wealth of your skills and experiences and how they relate to the job your interviewing for. (For tips on this, check out my last article, 5 Steps to an Excellent Interview).

The Phone Interviewer is going to make note of almost everything you say during the Phone Interview. I say almost everything, because they aren’t going to be interested in things which do not relate to your ability to preform well in the position for which you are interviewing. So, you have to spend time ensuring you align your self with the position before you pick up the phone for your Phone Interview.

So, what happens with those notes? They are available to the Hiring Manager to review along with your resume. A well executed Phone Interviewing adds more value to your candidacy and makes available vital information you would not put on a resume.

How to Make Your Resume Sell

The most problematic part of a resume for people seems to be crafting their accomplishments. The confusion between an accomplishment and a responsibility is the difference between generating excitement by selling what you can do, and making a bland statement that elicits the question “So what?” It’s the difference between being invited in for an interview….and getting no response at all.

A responsibility reads as if it was taken from your job description. It fails to distinguish you from any other person that held that title before you, or holds that title at any other company. It says your function, but it doesn’t speak to your ability to perform that function.

By contrast, an accomplishment is what differentiates you from any other person that does, or has done, that job. It not only indicates how well you perform your job, but what type of person you are.

How does a factual accomplishment reveal something as subtle and subjective as a personality trait? Measured with the length of time you were at a company, your number of accomplishments indicates the degree to which you are a go-getter. It says if you’re motivated to go beyond the average job, and how much pride you take in your work.

It tells the hiring authority if you look for problems and find ways to solve them, or if you are content with saying, “That’s good enough.” And it also tells him how well you know your job by how well you solved those problems. Let’s look at an example. If you’re a teacher, a responsibility might read:


•Developed innovative, education-based curriculum
Which leaves the following questions:


•For what classes did you develop a curriculum?
•Why did it need to be developed?
•What was going on before it was developed?
•What was the result of the development?
Interviewers want answers, not questions. Since the responsibility statement doesn’t indicate how well you performed your job, it’s easier not to invite you in for an interview. Interviewers don’t know if you have accomplishments hiding behind your responsibilities. They assume you don’t have anything to say, because you didn’t say it. They don’t care that perhaps you didn’t know how to say it. If your resume doesn’t sell you, it’s not their problem. It’s yours.

By contrast, the accomplishment version of the same statement might read:


•Created and implemented innovative, education-based curriculum that engaged students more actively, resulting in 75% of student body raising grades by average of a full point
This says you’re worth talking to. Then at the interview, it opens the field for the interviewer to ask you for more information about what types of programs you implemented and how you implemented them.

An accomplishment is a results-oriented statement. It shows the benefit of hiring you by telling what you can do. What you’re saying is, “I know what you want done, and I’ve done that. I’ve done it successfully for my previous company; therefore, I can do it successfully for you. When you hire me, you aren’t risking an unknown. You’re hiring someone who has a proven ability to do the job successfully.”

That’s what interviewers want to know. That’s what they want to hear. They don’t want to wonder, and they don’t want to figure it out. If your resume doesn’t indicate what you’re capable of, the chance of an interview in which to sell yourself is slim.

If you’ve been sending out resumes and getting nothing in response, take a look at your bullets under each company name. Do they just say what you did, or do they say how well you did it?

You’re selling a product, and the product is you. The interviewer is the buyer, and your resume is, in effect, your marketing brochure. But if the buyer isn’t interested, you can’t close the sale. And that’s your problem, not theirs.

Writing the Interviewable Resume

It is rumored that the only word William Shakespeare wrote on his resume was “Available.” We’ll probably never know if that is true. But it raises an interesting question. How much information is too much and how much is too little when dealing with resume copy?

The resume is a vital piece to any job search. As companies scramble to find the ideal candidate, they use the resume to screen candidates. Done right, a resume builds an instant connection with the reader and helps steer the course of the interview in your favor. If you submit a resume that piques the curiosity of the reader, he or she most likely will ask questions based on the information you provided on the resume as opposed to relying on a pre-packaged questionnaire. That’s how you know you have an “interviewable” resume, when it assists in shaping the course of the interview.

The challenge is, how does one create an “interviewable” resume, one that isn’t boring or sterile? How does one write a resume that motivates the reader to give you a call?

Write with the employer in mind

Cast aside the belief that the resume is about you – because it isn’t. Though the resume is your “story”, the heart of it should focus on the needs of the employer. When developing your resume give thought to the person who will be reading it. What are his or her immediate concerns? How will you be able to solve that person’s problems?

Though it may be difficult to pin down a company’s immediate concerns before an interview, the reality is that organizations recruit candidates for one of the following reasons: they need to replace an unproductive employee, a peak performer was promoted or left, or a new position has been created. A recruiter usually searches for a candidate who will produce certain results, one that is a skilled communicator and has a strong work ethic. If you are able to target your resume toward these key areas, you will, without a doubt, tap into the organization’s concerns.

Choose your phrases carefully

Sentence starters and appropriate use of action words all determine whether the resume is “interviewable.” Instead of using predictable phrases, think of ways to add punch to your resume. For example, instead of using increased sales by 250%…write delivered a 250% increase in sales…; instead of using ability to effectively…write demonstrated ability to effectively…; and instead of using reduced costs…write slashed costs.

When your resume doesn’t “sound” like all the others on the recruiter’s desk, he or she will take notice. You will be remembered when your resume breaks the monotony of the recruiter’s day. Guaranteed.

Have a consistent message

Don’t try to become all things to all people. If you are a CEO, don’t add a statement that indicates that you are willing to be a Business Manager. If you are a Sales Manager, don’t indicate that you are willing to take on a position as a Customer Service Representative. Get the picture? Determine what you are selling (and looking for) before you put one word to paper.

Determine your major selling points

Though you may share the same job title with many other people, your accomplishments and how you carry out your responsibilities are what distinguishes you from all the other qualified candidates. Focus your resume on not only what you did but also how well you did it. By design, what makes you “interviewable” is how you market your strengths on paper.

12 Resume Blunders

1.A BLAND OR GENERIC OBJECTIVE: If your objective could be applied to a marketing resume as easily as a resume for an accounting position, then your objective says nothing and will get you nowhere. An objective is NOT some required paragraph at the top of the page that is an exercise in 5 lines of job speak. It’s an actual and real description of your skills as they’re related to who you are and what you want. It should vary with the type of job for which you are applying.

2.BLAND JOB DETAILS: “Responsibilities included overseeing construction of 4 Hilton Hotels in Tri-City Metro Area, each 50 floors in height.” Yeah? So what? That doesn’t say if they went up on schedule or if you brought the projects in under budget. It doesn’t say if you took all four from site work up or if the guy handling two of the four hotels was fired and you were promoted to overseeing all four. Differentiate yourself from the others coming in to interview. If you don’t tell the hiring company how you will be an asset to them, how will they know?

3.ANOTHER JOB, ANOTHER PARAGRAPH: Don’t keep adding on to your resume job after job, year after year. By the time you’re in your 40s, you need to have weeded out some of the earlier stuff. You don’t need all the college activities, just your degree. You don’t need ALL 5 bullets for each of your first two jobs.

4.REFERENCES: Shouldn’t be listed on your resume. “References available on request” is the proper phrase. You present them separately when they’re requested. This isn’t about protocol. This is about protecting your references so they aren’t called until you and the company are serious about each other.

5.IT’S NOT A STORY!: Don’t - whatever you do, DON’T - write your resume in the third person.

6.SKIP THE PERSONAL INFO: You might think your weekend baseball coaching or your church choir participation shows you’re an interesting and well-rounded person, but they’re irrelevent. If the interviewer wants to know who you are as a person, aside from the job interview and your qualifications, he’ll ask.

7.DEGREE DATE: No matter how old you are, don’t leave the date of when you were graduated off your resume. It looks like you’re hiding something (well, you are, aren’t you?), and then everyone counts the years backwards and tries to figure out how old you are. Sometimes you can be ruled out - just for leaving the date off. If you’re trying to hide your age by not stating the date, what else might you not be forthcoming about?

8.SPELL CHECK, SPELL CHECK, SPELL CHECK: Spell checking visually by you AND someone else, any fewer than three times, isn’t enough. And don’t forget to check your punctuation.

9.GETTING YOUR RESUME OUT THERE - part one: Don’t use one of those resume blaster things. Half those sites aren’t even valid. You don’t know how it will come out on the other end. You don’t even know where it’s going or if the landing targets are employment related. I experimented with one for the heck of it. It’s bad form and just….NOT the way to find your perfect job. Finding your perfect job takes focus, attention, detail, individuality, tailoring, specifics. Resume blasting is about as far from that as you can get.

10.GETTING YOUR RESUME OUT THERE - part two:If it’s an ad, you probably have instructions as to how to send it. If email, is your only option, cut and paste your resume into the form, AND attach it. You never know what it can look like on the other end because of the variety of settings available to each user. Quite frankly, I don’t recommend emailing it at all, because it usually just goes into cyber space, and then it’s all about the hiring company - but sometimes that IS the only choice you’re given. Emailing your resume takes any option for further participation right out of your hands, because often there’s not even a name given for a follow up contact. You’ve no other option than to wait and wonder (and your resume is just going to HR anyway).

11.GETTING YOUR RESUME OUT THERE - part three: If the company name is provided, call and ask if they prefer email, fax, or snail mail. I know a recruiter who never even opened his email. Because he was listed in The Kennedy Guide to Executive Recruiters, he received so many resumes emailed to him cold (so NOT pro-active) that he just did a mass delete every morning. Candidates contacted for a specific search were requested to snail mail their resume to him. How about that? I’ll bet less than 10% of those who emailed their resumes even bothered to follow up to see if it was received (this isn’t a numbers game).

12.RESUME VISUALS: Ivory paper. Black ink. Individual pages. No plastic, 7th grade, science report cover with the plastic slider or metal push down tabs. Your name centered at the top, not on a cover page that says “Introducing Clifton Lewis Montgomery III”. No exceptions. Your resume is a professional document, not a school book report or an art project. Until every resume is done this way, yours will still stand out in the crowd.
You are the product, and your resume is the marketing piece. To find your perfect job you must differentiate yourself from the other people who will be interviewed.

Your resume must be specific, individualized, easy to skim so it invites a closer reading, and focused on the differences you’ve made with your previous companies, as well as the accomplishments you’ve achieved with - and for - them. This tells the hiring company what you can do for them - and it IS about the hiring company, not you.

Of course this assumes you meet the requirements for the job - otherwise it doesn’t matter how good your resume is! The resume is what gets you in the door. If your resume is poorly written, looks sloppy, is difficult to read, is cryptic in any way, or necessitates being slogged through to learn your information (they won’t bother), you won’t even get in the door. And how can you decide if you want the company if they’ve already decided they don’t want you?

5 Steps to an Excellent Interview

As an Interview Preparation Expert and Career Coach I leverage my skills and experience as a Recruiter, Human Resource Professional, and Student of Life to guide clients in their interview preparation. I have a day job as a Corporate Recruiter and I conducted around 3,000 Phone Interviews for a number of different and diverse companies in 2010. Each day, I witness job seekers make serious errors in how they market their skills and present themselves as individuals during phone interviews–errors which knock them out of the recruitment process! Sadly for them, with proper preparation these errors could have been easily avoided. This is good news for you!

I attribute the short comings I see in job seekers as a Corporate Recruiter to a fundamental misunderstanding of: the value of a phone interview; hiring manager expectations in increasingly crowded talent pools; and the skills needed to identify and market individual, unique skills and experience.

That’s where I can help. I help my clients understand what a Phone Interview truly is and how valuable it could be if approached correctly. After spending well over 700 hours (and counting) conducting phone interviews, it is clear: A huge gap exist between the effort candidates put into preparing for their Phone Interview in relation to the career goal being sought–a job! Interview preparation isn’t difficult and, with the right tools, doesn’t have to take too much time.

My unique position as a Recruiter, interacting with both candidates and hiring managers, has positioned me as a leader in the area of interview preparation. From my experience and observation, I have developed the REACH method of preparation for phone and face-to-face interviews. REACH is the key to closing the gap between you and the job you want!

REACH is so simple and easy to follow and it takes very little time to work through the five steps:

1.Research the Position
2.Evaluate Your Skills
3.Align with the Position
4.Channel the Positive
5.Hone Your Pitch
That’s it! No need to worry about where to start or what you’ll be asked during your interview. Just start using REACH to prepare for your interview and you’ll be covered.
