Let’s imagine you’re in a car accident in a remote area. You’ve run off the road and hit a tree. Your car has minimal damage but you are seriously injured.
The digital paramedics, in their digital helicopter, fly over to the scene. They begin to assess the accident using their now narrow parameters (there’s minimal front-end damage and they can see that no one has gone through the windshield). The digital paramedics determine very quickly that this accident doesn’t meet their criteria. They fly away.
Meanwhile, you’re inside the vehicle with a broken leg that’s pinned under the steering column and the air bag has deployed leaving you critically short of air. And no one is going to help you.
The same scenario can be used when attaching your resume to an on-line job posting. The parameters used by the hiring manager are quite limited. If specific key words are not inserted so the resume “floats to the top,” so to speak, it will be discarded.
Without ever knowing your experience, your background, your skills, or the achievements you’ve made in the work place, this company most likely will move on to the next resume.
So it is that the creation of your digital resume be planned strategically. With Start Now! Career Guide, we’ll show you what works and doesn’t work when posting your resume on-line. Visit us today!
