Why You Should Never Create the Perfect Resume
Forget about trying to create the “perfect” resume. Why?
1. Your resume will never be framed and hung on a wall.
2. The employer cares only about their needs being met.
Don’t talk about your wants, needs or desires rather, focus on how you meet their needs and solve their problems. As Zig Ziglar once said, “When a person goes to the hardware store to purchase a drill, they don’t want to “buy a drill” rather what they want is 3 centimeter hole. If they could get the hole without the drill they would do it.” Make sense?
3. Focus your resume to each employer. Your research tells you exactly what they are looking for.
4. Specifics sell! Clearly outline results, contributions, and achievements you’ve made in your previous positions that directly benefit the targeted company.
