Hiring managers need help from job seekers; they want job seekers to understand what a hiring manager must have to properly determine job seeker fit for a job. They don’t want resumes on colored paper, movie tickets, pictures of yourself, offers to wash their car or babysit their kids. Instead, what they need most is a resume that presents your talents, performance, fit and value. That gives them what they need to make the right decision. That is all they want.

Hiring managers – demand what you need from job seekers. Require them to submit the new talent-based resume (see the new format above under the Job Seeker link). This makes your job easier, clearer and more conclusive. It requires them to send you a resume with the critical information you need to make a good decision. This improves your ability of hiring the right employee and to fire the employee up!

“Stand Out and Get Hired” – my new resource to help job seekers define their talents, determine which jobs need their talents and create a powerful talent-based resume to apply for jobs that are a good fit – will be available in the next two weeks on this site. Stay tuned – and get your copy. This will make job seekers’ and hiring managers’ lives easier.
