Staying in the race! How? By knowing what the employer wants and needs! 1.Key To Being Competitive

Employers want… ► An increase in profits! ► To have their problems solved ► To have harmony in their workforce ► Employees that work hard and show initiative Make it “easy” on HR by translating your experiences into: Achievements/Results that benefit employer = Power Statements

2.Power Statements & Essential Commercials ► Formula  Circumstance - situation  Action - and skill used  Result - results & benefits  Zing - enthusiasm ► Key to:  Networking  Resumes  Interviews  Follow up

► Job Description means you are like everyone who ever had the job ► Best and worst employees had same job description! ► Accomplishments & Results set you apart from everyone else - the accomplishments & results must relate to the job Job Description vs. Results

Resume Example Office Manager, Jones Box ► Redesigned filing system which significantly reduced product deliver time by 20% resulting in increased customer satisfaction

3.Resume Components ► Usually resumes include the same basic components. ► They are simply reordered based upon how best to present the job seekers qualifications & career field

3.Resume Components Objective is optional ► Be specific or don’t have one. Include specific job title - don’t make the secretary guess - guess into trash. Summary of Qualifications ► Briefly summarize your strengths that relate to job (experience, knowledge, special skills, areas of expertise, and key accomplishments.) ► Summary could be an abbreviated version of the 30" commercial - entice the reader to want to learn more. ► Focus on target employer.

4.Resume Types & Formats ► Chronological ► Functional - Combination - Hybrid ► Technology related ► Internet Resumes may be scanned for key words so emphasize nouns not verbs.

4.Resume Types & Formats Work Experience ► Which format Chronological, Functional, or Technical? ► Do not list a job description alone or you will make yourself identical to everyone else. Include your accomplishments/ results that focus on the target employer.
