Do you ever wonder why the vast majority of résumés are so
lackluster? I chalk it up to 2 reasons:

1. Most people approach their résumés with the wrong mindset.
2. Most of us weren't schooled in marketing, and how to
`sell' in writing.
People have been trained to think of the résumé as a detailed
biographical document that explains their work history in exhaustive
detail, including all of the duties they've ever performed.
That's diametrically opposed to its true purpose, which is to be a
sales brochure that leaves the reader wanting to know more, and excited
about talking to you.

The good news is that since such a large percentage are weak sales
documents, you have the opportunity to polish yours up and make it stand
out as a breath of fresh air to hiring managers!

Now before you run out to pay someone to do that for you, let me just
warn you that I've also seen many that were done by professionals
that were still pretty weak. Although those writers understood that the
résumé should be a marketing document, they didn't know how to
apply that knowledge beyond adding nice sounding but somewhat generic
phrases you could find in any book, or putting in fancy graphic elements
to make it look glitzy. That isn't REAL marketing.

I recall one business associate who showed me a résumé she had
paid someone on the order of $1,000 to write, and she wasn't very
happy with the result. My first reaction to it was, "What BS!"
We sat down for lunch, and over then next 1 1/2 hours, transformed it
into a sales document that represented her well, highlighted what she
brought to the table, and really `sold' her package.

For the rest of the article, just drop me a note at John@JHACareers.com
<mailto:John@JHACareers.com> , and you can check out the contents of
past issues and selected articles at www.JHACareers.com/Newsletter.htm

Other topics I covered in this issue include:

4. Advice to a job seeker trying to negotiate the best deal with a
prospective employer
