Many people would love to get a better job. And most
of these same people have the proper training and
skills to achieve this goal. Unfortunately, so many
job hunters have very poor communication skills.
They are unable to clearly tell potential employers
about their job qualifications. In short, they do
not have good job seeking skills. In many cases,
this prevents them from getting a high paying job
that they could easily do. Often, the job will go
to someone who is less skilled but who has written
a eye-catching resume.
Often, job seekers have a few mistaken opinions
about potential employers. They believe that employers
are able to easily separate the qualified job applicants
from the less qualified applicants. But this is
likely not true. Sometimes there are from 30 to
300 resumes for the same job. So the
interviewer first does a fast screening of all the
resumes to eliminate as many as possible. The "good"
resumes usually make it through the screening process.
Many times the best job candidate is screened out
due to a poor resume.
In today's business world there is often many qualified
applicants applying for the same job. What if, out
of all of those who apply, one job seeker turns
in a skillful resume? Who do you think stands the
best chance of getting the job? It's the one with
the "best" resume, of course. This is
so often true even though some of the other applicants
may be better qualified for the job.
In order to get a good job you must communicate
to the employer that you are ready, willing, and
able to do the job. So if you are capable of producing
a top notch job resume, you definitely increase
your chances of getting a better job.
Virtually every potential employer will want to
see a resume from you. The resume will determine
who gets a job interview. Your resume is a mini-statement
about yourself. After reading your resume the employer
should have a better "feel" for you as
a person and as a potential employer. It serves
to get acquainted with the employer so that they
can decide if they want to know more about you.
