Surveys of hiring managers reveal that: Only one interview is granted for every 50 to 100 resumes received by the average employer Initially your resume will be perused quickly (about 15 seconds worth) rather than read thoroughly The decision to interview a prospective candidate is usually based on an overall first impression of the document The top 50% of the first page of your resume will either win you an interview or lead to the circular file A superior resume can position you for a 10% to 30% or more gain in your starting salary. That's the reason it's so important to capture an employer's interest immediately. Picture yourself as a hiring decision-maker who is searching for a candidate with specific qualifications. To present yourself as the truly exceptional candidate, your resume has to appeal directly to the employer's needs. So, think of your resume as an advertisement - a well-written ad designed to get the reader to call you for an interview. To write an effective resume, you have to be able to write powerful yet subtle ad copy. Then, you must know how to sell a product in which you are personally invested. That product is you. If you are like most people, you have underestimated your value in the employment market and do not enjoy the thought of selling anything, let alone yourself. And like most people, you may not fully realize the depth of skills, accomplishments and expertise you have to offer. Choosing the best format for your particular background and situation is yet another important factor to be considered. What seems appropriate for one person may not necessarily present you in the best light, depending upon your particular employment history.
