Resume success requires passing over 3 hurdles. The 1st hurdle is a human reader who skims. To succeed here your resume needs to capture the reader’s interest in 3 to 6 seconds. A page layout that is simple and clear helps pass hurdle 1 The 2nd hurdle, the digital scanning process, is known as the Applicant Tracking system (ATS). It allows passage of only 15 to 25% of resumes submitted online. Your chance of flying over this hurdle improves if you match the requirements of the position and include key words used in the job posting. Beware, though, of a trap in hurdle 2. The trap is concluding that your resume is ready to go after enough key words are present. As you move on to hurdle 3, it is important to focus on content that shows you meeting challenges and bringing solutions to the hiring manager and team. Glide over hurdle 3 by enriching your resume with energy and achievement specifics. Add examples that are similar to issues suggested in the job posting. In hurdle 3 for the first time your resume will receive more than 8 seconds of attention. It is important to be prepared for the hiring manager’s scrutiny, which may be thorough and will be critical.

Our resume workshop will focus on issues and questions of attendees as always. We will also discuss the selected title theme, stories, which can be used everywhere. Stories are the juice—the lifeblood—that drive the job applicant’s career change. They form the bedrock of the resume and determine the effectiveness of the interviewing performance. Let’s expand the perception of stories to include their other names. For example, tag lines, also known as identity headlines, are introductory in nature and are designed to reinforce branding. A shortened elevator speech may act as an introduction to tease the telling of a story. Questions you are asked at interviews are obvious openers to stories. Just think of: “Tell me about a time when” followed by “you faced a challenging assignment,” or a time when you instigated a change or a proposed a new business idea. We will discuss starter ideas for stories along with a summary of story types and examples of ways to weave stories into your resume.
