How to Craft a Resume that Attracts a
          Hiring Manager
●   Research has shown that hiring managers spend ten seconds or less when
    considering a resume for selection for interview.
●   This is because out of a hundred resumes about ninety or even ninety five
    might not be worth consideration.
●   It is only the resumes that are appealing and meet their needs that they take
    more time to read and eventually select for interview.
●   Such resumes are the ones that are professionally crafted and not the ones
    that are poorly written.
●   Such attention grabbing professional resume enhances the marketability of
    the job seeker because it has been crafted in such a way that it focuses on
    achievements and results rather than responsibilities.
How to Craft a Resume that Attracts a
          Hiring Manager
●   Crafting an attention grabbing professional resume should therefore start
    with proper planning.
●   Planning eases the writing of the resume.
●   It make the words flow faster and writing the ads copy which is your CV
    becomes smoother.
●   It opens a whole world of things that you ordinarily would have forgotten up
    to you.
●   When writing without planning, several items will be missing from the
    resume therefore decreasing job search effectiveness.
●   Finally planning increases the chance of meeting the employer's needs.
●   Planning should therefore start with listing all the information to be included
    in the resume down in a list before actual writing.
How to Craft a Resume that Attracts a
          Hiring Manager
●   Second on how to craft a resume that attracts a hiring manager should be
    the structuring of the resume.
●   Structuring should commence with the application of a checklist.
●   The checklist makes communication of what information you have in your
    resume more concise and in the end reach your goal of being invited for an
    interview more comfortable.
●   Tactically, using a checklist makes writing a professional resume clearer and
    more logical.
●   Furthermore, it also makes writing it economical.
●   A checklist should therefore note the following: initial impression,
    appearance, proofreading, relevance, use of resume samples, getting a
    second opinion etc.
How to Craft a Resume that Attracts a
          Hiring Manager
●   Another consideration in writing an appealing resume is what kind of
    information to include.
●   The information to include in the resume will be dependent on the amount of
    research work conducted in gathering of the information.
●   The information should be tailored towards meeting the needs of the job on
    offer.
●   If the job advert states that they require job seekers with specific skills and
    attributes, craft your resume to fit that requirement.
●   Your resume should include the following information: clear and accurate
    contact information, the objective for writing your CV, brief summary of the
    resume, details of your acquired experience, education, skills and
    professional membership plus the personnel details.
How to Craft a Resume that Attracts a
          Hiring Manager
●   Reliability is another important consideration when crafting a resume that
    can attract a hiring manager.
●   Experience has shown that many job hunters often present issues in their
    resumes with half truths and sometimes lies.
●   Hiring Managers have seen through this scheme and therefore when
    scrutinizing a CV their first task usually is to judge the reliability.
●   Your CV being a mirror of your personality to a prospective employer
    therefore shows the hirer your real personality.
●   Presenting a reliable resume to a prospective employer therefore presents
    the picture of a reliable candidate.
●   Presenting a reliable CV to a recruiter will also present the picture of a
    candidate with integrity.
●   A reliable resume therefore enhances the chances of being shortlisted for an
    interview by the hiring manager.
