1. CREATING AN EFFECTIVE
RESUME USING USAJOBS
Resume Power Words
It's brutal out there. Forget the pretty resume! To compete, you need an
effective resume. Your resume can be so much more than a list of jobs cobbled
together with some flashy adjectives.
Most employers spend 15 – 30 seconds when first examining your resume, and
only see the top half. In this short amount of time employers determine your
strengths and if you have something to offer. If they feel that you do, they will
look at your resume in more depth. If not, you will be filed away.
You need to make sure that the employer knows what you are capable of doing.
If you don’t tell them, no one else will. Employers want to QUICKLY screen
you out. Your goal is to get screened IN! How do you fashion your resume
so that it gets noticed?
