Job seekers: keep sending your one-size-fits-all resumes and they will continue to be thrown in the trash. Hiring managers only want resumes that show these three things: your Performance, your Fit and your Value. The want to see that you know the environments that you perform the best in. They want to see that you understand the job and have assessed that you are a good fit (your talents and the talents needed in the job are a match). They want to see how you add (measurable) value; they want to see how you make a difference and what kind of return they will get from hiring you. Put this information on the face of your resume. Customize your resume to show that you are the right choice. Make the review process easy and self-evident for the hiring manager.
Check out the new Talent-based Resume on this site under the Job Seeker section. This new format provides these three critical components needed by hiring managers. Consider purchasing “Stand Out and Get Hired” to learn how to assess your talents, find out the jobs that match your talents and present yourself in a new and get noticed way with the talent-based resume. This moves your resume up to the top of the pile because you provide what hiring managers need and make their job easy and conclusive. Stop wasting your time and aggravating hiring managers with inappropriate resumes. Send the new talent-based resume because it shows what you are good at, how you add value, and how you fit. To get hired, you have to stand out in the right way – show your performance, fit and value.
