Targeted Resumes vs.
One-Size-Fits-All Resumes
Job seekers pursuing more than one career
goal often make the mistake of building a “one-size-fits-all
resume” instead of a proper targeted
resume.
The problem with that resume building approach
is that the hiring official may get confused about your career
objective, or the key information needed to make a decision
is buried within the resume.
In order to avoid it and build a resume that
gets read and lands you interviews you need a targeted
resume, which is nothing more than creating the right
resume to the right employer.
Build a Resume Targeted to the Hiring
Manager's Needs
Hiring managers receive hundreds and even
thousands of resumes for just a few positions. They frequently
rely on fast "resume-scanning"
to eliminate candidates whose qualifications don't match the
job requirements, and to save for consideration those resumes
which present matching qualifications. In other words, resumes
focused on hiring managers’ criteria will get a closer
look, and the ones that are unfocused will be discarded.
Several Targeted Resumes
Improve Your Chances
If you have more than one career
objective, the best strategy is to develop several resumes
that target your different objectives.
Instead of preparing a “one-size-fits-all
resume” you have to create several “made-to-measure”
resumes to capture the attention of hiring managers and get
the job interview.
Creating several resumes, each targeted
at a given potential employer is a breeze with EasyJob
Resume Builder. Using EasyJob all you
have to do is make the application’s “acquaintance”
by describing who you are, your level of education,
work experience,
and some other specific information the program will ask you
to input. FREE

The Right Resume to
the Right Employer
The more closely you can target your resume
to the employer’s needs, the better your results will
be. Then:
-
Target your objective/profile
to the job description. If you are applying for
an advertised job, write your objective using the job’s
responsibilities.
-
Target your experience to your
goal. Your employment history should effectively
market you for your current job objective. Focus on accomplishments
that relate to your goal, and remove job duties and accomplishments
that don’t support your and employer’s objectives.
If you are using EasyJob, your answers
to the resume wizard will create a comprehensive, individualized
database from which you select the most relevant data for
each resume, according to the principle of "the right
resume for the right employer at the right time."
With this database (which you can always
update and change in the future), EasyJob
serves as a guide that helps you manage your job search and
improve your professional image indefinitely.
Throughout the process, EasyJob’s "Guru
at your beck and call" help-system assists you in
inputting your personal information into the database, as
well as selecting the output for your targeted resumes. Check
