How not to Get an Interview: Writing a Resume That Keeps Employers Away

Everyone talks about GETTING an interview, about GETTING a job. Have you ever wondered how to avoid generating any interest from employers? This article will give you some tried and true ways to keep hiring managers away from you.


A Boost To Your Business - Promotional Products

Distributing cost-effective products as gifts to business counterparts and clients is the best marketing strategy. With logo on the top Promotional gifts act as a constant reminder of your entire business with your Business"s brand image. It becomes all the more important for you to resort to cost saving measures, if you are just in the process of building your business, especially when it comes to the advertising activities. Online advertisement can be very time consuming and also not the best if your targeted clients are mainly off line. Your budget is not stretch to having television advertisements made and buying advertising time on the televisions channels. Newspaper advertisements are also very expensive and short lived. To present cheap and good looking gifts as promotional items to all your clients, potential clients and business partners, colleagues and other associates is the best option.


3 Simple Things You Can Do To Strengthen Your Resume

1.  Highlight your performance. If you"re in sales, it"s vitally important that you demonstrate that you can ring the cash register. You show the hiring manager why he wants you on the team by highlighting your sales numbers, number of closes, key influencer sales, expense budgets, revenue, profit, growth, sales rankings, goal attainment, and so on.  You can list that as numbers, dollar amounts, percentages, or whatever is appropriate.  I have seen some eye-catching resumes that incorporate colored graphs to illustrate, but be careful not to overdo it.  Use whatever style that best represents your growth.

2. Write a well-crafted objective statement. Think elevator pitch.  Don"t make the mistake of assuming that a resume objective statement will limit your opportunities.  It won"t.  What it will do is capture the reader"s attention and lead him or her into reading the rest of your resume.  (So make sure it"s compelling and not a canned filler statement.)  It"s entirely appropriate to tailor your objective statement to the job opportunity so that you can highlight what you can bring to that particular organization.  Once I"ve read the rest of your resume, I might see that you"d also be a great fit for another opportunity.

3.  Add something special. If you"re new to the field, try a preceptorship, and put that experience on your resume (it"s a great keyword source).  It shows that you"re serious, and willing to go the extra mile.  And it can go a significant way to answering the "experience" question for hiring managers.  Also, I have seen resumes with quotations that sum up their attitudes, drive, determination, etc.  Or, I"ve seen others with a list of their recent reading material (although you must be able to talk intelligently about those books).  But be careful about listing too much information.  For instance, hobbies work only if they"re relevant to the job.  Don"t let anything on your resume take away from your message:  you have something to offer to contribute to an organization"s success.

Above all, remember that your resume is not about you; it"s about the employer.  You"re using the resume as a marketing document that highlights why you"re the person to help them succeed.
