Don&#8217;t take it personally. He&#8217;d rather not read anybody&#8217;s resume. Labored, unexciting text, pat phraseology, fluff and puff exaggerations. It&#8217;s torture. Still, he&#8217;s going to read the sorrowful lot of them because it remains the best (only?) way to get warm bodies in the interview <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>chair<\/strong>. And when there&#8217;s a job opening that has to be filled, warm bodies need to be seated in that <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>chair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t expect him to like it. In fact, expect him to do everything in his power to get rid of your resume as fast as humanly possible. His immediate goal is to eliminate you from further consideration in the placement process. The more applicants he eliminates and the faster he does it, the sooner he can get back to the life he prefers&#8211;regaling his subordinates with tales of fly-fishing in the Rockies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resumes Are For Screening<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The lesson to be learned here is that resumes are first put to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>screen<\/strong> out candidates from further consideration. Those resumes that don&#8217;t <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>screen<\/strong> out their owners are effective &#8212; simple as that. To keep your resume from screening you out of the running, to make your resume effective, you must do a few basic things <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>right<\/strong> from the beginning. Compare your resume to the following checklist to ensure you&#8217;re resume is an effective resume.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top 10 Resume Checklist To Survive The Screening<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Keep it short<\/span>. The effective resume is preferably <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> page, two at the most. If you&#8217;ve written a novel, tear it apart and whittle it down to one\/two pages.<\/li>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">It must be easy to read<\/span>. That means the effective resume is well organized with clear headings, brief statements of responsibility, bulleted points for emphasizing achievements.<\/li>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">It must avoid overly specific professional jargon<\/span>. Keep in mind that your resume is likely to be read first by someone in the HR department who may not have a clue what you&#8217;re talking about when you say&#8230; &#8220;Chaired brain dump resulting in a turnkey solution to improve customer&#8217;s ROI.&#8221; Rather, talk like an earthling and state it plainly: &#8220;Boosted customer sales 20%.&#8221; Take care to craft a resume with universal appeal so as to at least get to the starting gate.<\/li>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Curb your design enthusiasm<\/span>. That means limiting your font selection to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> or two. Use the traditional and popular New Times Roman if you prefer lettering with a serif, or consider Arial, Helvetica or Verdana if you prefer san serif fonts, lacking the slight projection finishing off a stroke of a letter. Go easy on the bold and the underlining. And limit your paper selection to white or beige with a weight of 22 or 24 lb. Black type.<\/li>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The effective resume is tailored for a specific position<\/span>. I understand that may mean cranking out slight variations of your resume every day of the week to target different job postings. Nobody said a job search was a walk in the park.<\/li>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Portray yourself as a problem solver<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Quantify your accomplishments with hard numbers whenever possible<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Don&#8217;t mention your current, or expected salary on the resume<\/span>.<\/li>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Don&#8217;t mention personal information<\/span>, like whether or not you&#8217;re single or married, whether or not you have kids, whether or not your hobbies include golf or listening for extra-terrestrials with the modified ham radio contraption in your garage. Especially that <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>last<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Check, check, <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>check<\/strong> for misspellings<\/span>. Don&#8217;t ever, ever, ever submit a resume or post it online without doing a spell <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>check<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In fact, take that <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>last<\/strong> point a step further and have <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> or two friends or colleagues proofread the resume for spelling and grammar problems. Do this because an automated spell <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>check<\/strong> program will not know whether you meant to say &#8220;principal&#8221; or &#8220;principle.&#8221; Both are spelled correctly but mean totally different things. It will not know that you erred by using a verb in the present tense when referring to a job in the past tense. None of this may seem that critical to you, but trust me, it&#8217;s critical to the hiring official.<\/p>\n<p>David Alan Carter is a former headhunter and the founder of Resume One of Cincinnati.
