Writing a Resume is Easy!

I still have not decided if that is a catchy title for my article or not. I’m guessing people either click away because they have already figured out that I’m lying or else they believe me, but are then disappointed to find out that I lied. The truth is that writing a resume is extremely difficult. I guess it can be easy to write a resume if you don’t care that it is poorly written and does not stand out at all.

If you want a resume that is going to stand out, though, and have employers begging for you to work for them, then it is going to take some work and it can be very challenging. I work in the Human Resources department at my fine place of employment and I look at resumes every single day. I have to look through anywhere from 10 to sometimes 30 or 40 resumes for one single job opening. Do you think that I have time to read through all of them and analyze your skills and ask myself if I think you will be a good fit for the company? The answer is, No!

If you don’t sell yourself to me and do something that makes your resume stand out, then I will forget all about you before I finish crumpling up your resume and tossing it in the little black bin under my desk. It sounds cruel, I know. And maybe it is. But that’s how it works. You need to take resume writing classes or somehow get connected with somebody that truly has skills in resume writing.

But I am begging you…do NOT go pay some company money a bunch of money to write it for you, but also do NOT go write an average, typical-looking resume. Just do some research and learn how to write a great resume. Here is the first step you need to take. Check out my blog that I have put together…it is completely free and it offers some great tips.
