So You Think You Don’t Need a Resume

You are not a senior-level executive pulling down a six-figure salary; in fact, you don’t consider yourself a professional at all.  Whether you are an entry level or part-time employee, a courier, a stock clerk, or a retail sales associate seeking seasonal/Christmas employment, you are seeking a job and praying that you land one.

Remember the old saying, “God helps those who help themselves.”

Give serious consideration to conveying your experience with a resume.  An appealing format and language that presents you in your best light will enable you to stand out from the crowd of candidates filling out job applications.  If you doubt this, put yourself in the position of those empowered to hire, managers and human resource people who must sift through hundreds of applications.  Which job hopefuls do you think employers will consider to be well-prepared and eager to work — those who simply complete an application, or those who took the time and care to put their work history and qualifications forth in a resume?

You guessed correctly!  Arm yourself with a resume and dramatically improve your chances for securing employment.
