Editor's Notes
- <number>Welcome and thank you for viewing our “Quick and Easy Resume Tools” presentation designed by San Diego Community College District’s WorkAbility III Program.<number>
- “Resume Realities” are some quick ideas to keep in mind when considering the very basics of a resume. The includes the 10 to 30 second rule. Based upon research we have conducted as well as information found in reference materials, employers visually scan a resume from top to right, to bottom. They also notice if the resume is organized with dates being located in consistent places. Depending upon the resume’s organization, employers will decide whether to keep the resume.Employers also don’t want to read “fluff”. Rather, they want to read facts. Fluff is information that is presumed or opinionated rather than factual information that can be proven.Grammatical Errors will be noticed. Employers typically review a large number of documents and have an eye for spelling errors ands if they notice too many or even one grammatical error, they could potentially throw a resume out.Finally, depending upon the position you are applying for, it’s a good idea to assume that you are competing against many other applicants for the same job. In other words, try to stand out by designing a specific resume for each job that grabs the attention of the employer.<number>
- On this slide, there is a picture in the background of a stack of papers and files. Based upon the number of applications and resumes employers receive for any given position or positions, don’t be surprised if your resume would happen to end up at the bottom or middle.Think of yourself an employer for a moment. You have posted an opening for an attractive position and your business is located in a medium-to-large sized city. Based on the number of people in the city, you would probably receive a large number of applications and resumes. Considering that you are an employer, you probably have other duties aside from reviewing resumes and setting up interviews. Realistically, employers have limited time and are pulled in a number of directions. In this sense, you would probably have a stack of applications that would be on your desk or in a file and you would get to them when you could.<number>
