Unemployed? Don't Make Employers Hunt For Why They Should Interview You

To beat unemployment and find a great job fast, you need to shout why employers should interview and hire you.

But most resumes force employers to hunt for it ... causing you to lose opportunities.

As a top national recruiter who reviews hundreds of resumes per day, I see this every day. Most of the resumes I see don't create a first impression that clearly shows an employer why they need to interview (and hire) you.

Even when job seekers think their resume's first impression shows why they should be interviewed, from the employer's viewpoint your first impression is almost always confusing.

It's because you've been taught to make it confusing, based on bad advice from outplacement, most career coaches and authors. You've been taught to create a resume first impression of being multi talented ... showing employers many things you can do. The idea is that if you get lucky, you might guess what an employer is seeking.

But instead, a multi talented first impression forces HR reps, recruiters and hiring managers to hunt through your resume to see if you can solve the hiring manager's key and priority problems (and these problems are usually not in the job description). Employers rarely take the time to do this.

You force your readers to hunt when you brain dump, because you haven't focused their attention on how you meet their primary needs - instead drawing attention to low importance items an employer doesn't care much about.

TheLadders published a study showing your resume's readers make their first decision to move to the next candidate (or stay on your resume) based on a first impression given in an average 6 seconds. Employers move on to the next resume, rather than trying to hunt through your resume to see if you have what they need, because they usually get 4-5 qualified applicants for each interview spot.

This extends your job search, especially if you're unemployed, draining your savings, causing you stress, and frustrating you daily.

Why not let me show you how to create the first impression that you're the top candidate?

I've been helping job seekers implement job search and resume change to turn their job searches around and find a great job fast (even if you're unemployed or over 40) - and I've been doing this for over 10 years. I'll show you how to find a great job fast by understanding employers' point of view and hiring processes.

(I'm not just a career coach. I've also been a top national recruiter for the last 15 years ... so you'll get advice from a different perspective - an insider's point of view.)

Let me show you what you can do now to change your job search and resume so you can beat unemployment and find a great job in spring 2020.
