Give the People (a.k.a. Recruiters, Hiring Managers & HR Professionals) What They Want

Give the People (a.k.a. Recruiters, Hiring Managers & HR Professionals) What They Want

Ultimately, with developing a resume and other career documents/profiles, it is always best to give the readers/screeners what they want- and need. Generally, this includes your contact information, your Experience (10 to 15 years generally, although some can go more or less on this), your Education (this can include certifications, licenses, and training), and Other information that relates to your career (Professional Memberships, Publications, Patents, etc.).

This sounds simple, but obviously, there are some situations that are more complex. What if I have relevant experience that is really old? What if I have 2 concurrent jobs, do I list both? What if I almost finished my degree, but I never actually completed it? What if....?

So, in future articles, I will touch upon as many of these points as I can- and the source for everything I recommend will come from those individuals mentioned above.

Ultimately, if there is one job search strategy that seems to be applicable to most, if not all, situations, it would be focusing on Giving Those People What They Want.
