What does your resume tell potential employers?
Your resume tells prospective employers exactly what you want them to know about you and why you would be a good fit for the position. The employer will then begin to look at your skills and what you have to offer.
How long do prospective employers look at a resume?
Typically, employers look at a resume for less than 15 seconds before deciding which pile to put it in-the Yes Pile or the No Pile.
Think of your resume as your very own 15-second commercial spot. Hopefully, you catch the hiring manager’s attention within the first five seconds, so she’ll keep reading. Otherwise, your resume may end up in the No Pile.
What is the goal of a resume?
Your goal is to get an interview, or get in front of the hiring manager, so a first impression is absolute key. This first impression comes from your resume.

Parker Placements
As a job hunter, your LinkedIn profile needs to stand
out from every other intern who went to the same
school, who has the same degree with the same score-
card. But that ain’t so easy… so how do you stand out?
Have a killer LinkedIn profile that matches your
authentic self and let that beautiful personality of
yours shine.
We all know that LinkedIn is a great place to look for
jobs, particularly if you live in South Africa.
But hang on just a moment!
Did you know that it is also a key tool that recruiters
and Human Resource Managers use to search for
potential candidates?
Say what? Yes!
Believe me, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve
been head hunted for roles via LinkedIn. I haven’t
applied for a job in over 9 years as I opened my rst
business in September 2007.
An effective LinkedIn summary makes people want to
know more about you and ultimately connect with
you one-on-one.
Congruence is critical.
You need to make sure the bio you present online
matches your real-world self. So I asked myself when I
read hundreds of resumes and cover letters during the
hiring process, what do I look for?
Authenticity.
As an employer, it’s easy to spot the wannabes from the
real talents and being genuine is key. When read-
ing those hundreds of proles, what made me short-
list the candidates? It was their personality and de-
pendability which in turn results in authenticity.
Your linkedIn Prole Photo should be professional.
Here are some great examples of LinkedIn Profile photos.
LinkedIn is quickly becoming a standard tool for modern
job hunting. Most potential employers will google you
AND look for you on LinkedIN so having a profile that is
polished and ready to be seen is crucial.
