1. The Purpose of a Resume : 
To Win an Interview

What’s a Curriculum Vitae ?

Resumes are one to two-page summaries of your qualifications and their sole purpose is to impress prospective employers.

Your resume must be better than anything your competitors have to offer if you are going to get an interview.

A resume is a concise document that presents, and effectively sells, your most relevant and positive credentials for employment, admission to graduate school, consideration for a scholarship, or other professional purpose.

➢ An effective resume gets you an interview, not a job.

How employers use my resume ?

An employer will usually spend 15 to 20 seconds reviewing your resume, so the content of your resume must be clear, concise, and targeted to the type of job for which you are applying.

What happens if I do some grammatical error ?

If your resume has a typo or grammatical error, it will probably jump off the page to an employer, and this is a way to weed you out of a candidate pool.

Your resume gives you an opportunity to meet the employer face to face. That's why it has to be a professional piece of work. It's not that writing a resume is hard. It isn't hard at all. When you have the right information, such as what is available on this site, you can present your own personal information in a way that makes YOU a person of interest to employers.
It just takes a little time.

A resume can either get your foot in the door or get a door closed in your face.

➢ Your resume may be the only chance you get to make an impression, so make it a good one.

Why employers don’t call me ?

Your resume must be better than anything your competitors have to offer if you are going to get an interview.

If it is well-written, it will generate phone calls asking you to come in for interviews.

If you are not getting phone calls and you are sending out resumes, then you need to take a closer look at what you are sending out.
