“IT’S A GO” Time to Apply To Cover or not to Cover? Build a Resume that Makes the Cut To Cover or not to Cover?

Build a Resume that is Aspirin to the Pain

Evidence in a Resume

Create the “Pain Relief” Resume One or Two Pages Targeted Information – You are the answer to their search Catch ‘em Quickly – Top of the Fold Direct Profile Statements 40Plus Success Bites – illustrate success and skills

The Last Step Speaking from personal experience there is a feeling that when you send in the perfect application for the perfect job you deserve to take a break and see how it works out. STOP IT! The only good reasons to deviate from a well-designed job search plan is a) because you landed a new job; b) a family emergency; or c) hospitalization. Otherwise you have to keep going, most importantly because the job you were really meant to have may have been just around the corner from the job application you just submitted and you can’t afford to miss it.
