Whats Wrong with Heres My Resume. Help
Whats Wrong with Heres My Resume. Help I get a lot of people asking me for help in their job search and oh by the way heres my resume. The problem is, I dont like to read resumes. I think they are long and too detailed for my mind. My mind shuts down, so I cant get the message and know how to help you. If you were to NOT send me your resume, but help me know how I could help you, that would be better. Much better. I recently wrote an email to a buddy who sent me his resume. I know a bit about him, professionally, but I still thought this advice would be helpful. If youve sent your resume to friends/family for them to check out, please take this to heart: Can you identify 3 4 ideal companies/roles? If you can, in short paragraphs, paint that picture for me, with those 3 or 4 ideal companies, I can get a much better idea of how to help you, who to introduce you to, etc. Instead of saying: here, read this long, detailed document with jargon and buzzwords, you could say I would work best in a company like ______ doing ___________. The title might be ___ or ____. My typical day might consist of _____ or _____ or ______. Do that a few times, help me understand you better, and then let me digest that. What do you think?
