How To Make Your Resume Compete In A Tough Job Market

By Darrell Price

Whether you are new to the job market, in transition or making a career change, it is essential to have a fine-tuned resume working for you. Perhaps you have sent out tons of resumes already but are not seeing the results you had hoped.

You cannot rely on your old, outdated resume if you want to compete in a highly competitive job market. It is essential for you to have a well-written resume to use as your best negotiating tool.

A well-written resume should intrigue your prospective employer so much that he or she cannot wait to meet you. And that's exactly what a great resume will do. It will get you in the door to negotiate with your prospective employer for that all-important interview.

So your first line of defense is to throw out the old resume and bring in the new. Well maybe not throw it out, but give it a resume makeover.

Hiring a professional copywriter or resume writing service is the best thing you can do to get the results you want. They will produce a resume makeover that knows how to grab your prospective employers attention by focusing on the employers wants and needs, not yours.

I've even read resumes that shout demands to the prospective employer! You are only in the position to request what you want, including salary requirements after the interview process.

Of course, if the employer does ask you what salary you are considering in the interview process, always reply with another question, "What does the salary pay in my position?" Only then should you request or negotiate your salary requirement.

Your professional resume writer is advantageous to you because they know exactly how to make you shine. They will set you high on a pedestal by highlighting your unique skills and experience and will know how to pull out your most important strengths in a professional manner. In other words, put the "WOW" factor into your resume.

They know exactly how to add the "WOW" factor to each individual resume and set you apart from the rest of the job applicants. They know how to focus on the employers needs and not yours.

Do not let a less qualified person get your dream job that you truly deserve.
