When beginning a new course, I always ask my students what they think the purpose of a resume is. Inevitably their answer is “to get a job.” WRONG! The purpose of a resume is to get an interview; the interview is what gets you the job. So no matter how good you are with people, what experience you have or how ruggedly awesome you are, if your resume stinks, you’ll probably never get a chance to dazzle a potential employer. Sure, it is possible to get a job based on your resume alone, but then we’re talking burger flippers or ditch diggers. You can do better, regardless of your background.The point here is that you need to look good on paper so they will actually call you. Sure you want to be persistent and talk to the people in charge if you can, but if your resume is unimpressive, you won’t have a very good chance. You might be able to get an interview if you can talk your way into it or know the right people, but a crummy resume will never help you! Eons ago as retail manager I would get resumes all the time from folks just looking for something to pay the bills and my assistant and I would read them together and laugh because they were so bad (not all, but most). I filed them away, never to be seen again and any one of those resumes that called to finagle an interview out of me already had their fate sealed; there was no way I was going to hire them if they couldn’t do something as simple as write a decent resume.So here are some tips to help you write the perfect one, which will lead to the perfect interview and the perfect job. Even if you aren’t after your dream job at the moment, these suggestions will elevate your resume far above that of your peers whether the job is a barista for Starbucks or the CEO of Starbucks.
