resume and other advise pleaseI am in the Dallas Tx area and looking to change jobs. I am wondering if anyone could refer me to someone, where I could sit down and have them look at my resume, letters of recomendation and give me some help refining what I have, preferrably with someone that is knowledgeable in the mortgage industry. I have posted my resume on Monster and had no responses. I am in the mortgage industry so I know there are pleanty of jobs out there, but not sure what I am doing wrong. I have letters of recomendation as well as performance reviews that are excellent, and I think I just need some one to guide me a little. Here is the resume...

Compile information for Market An I really can' t help you. But i' m wondering the same as you. I think. I was looking to send my resume to a professional, they wanted $199. I guess it would be worth it if you got a good job. I just contracted my old HR department and ask them for my job description. I just got it. It is full of good information That I could use on my resume. If you don' t mind could you send me an email? I am looking to get into REI in the Dallas area maybe we could help each other out. I am trying to move there. Okay, some "experts" might disagree with me here, but I' ll write down what worked miracles for me. We' re not working in the same industry, but I don' t think it matters. First: Drop the Objective. Everybody knows you' re looking for a job and that you have certain skills, are an excellent team player and want to improve the company' s results. I' m saying this not to be negative or sarcastic, but to provide the best selling opportunity in your resume with the most prominent space on your readers MONITOR. Second: Summary of Qualifications. In about 10 lines, tell them who you are, where you came from (professionally) and what you have to offer, i.e. areas of expertise. Third: a list of Skills. Hard skills, Soft skills, whatever you can come up with. The Summary of Qualifications and the list of Skills HAVE TO BE on the reader' s monitor immediately after opening your resume. No scrolling. Use a 12p fontsize. This is crucial. It is your one and only chance to grab the readers attention and to get him/her to read through the rest of your resume. Keep in mind that the reader only takes about 3 seconds for this initial scan. Forth: Professional Experience. List each employer, provide dates of employment, your responsibilities, your achievements and the skills used. Fifth: Education. I' m not sure how your industry works, but if the number of hours of education is important then list it. Otherwise only list your degree' s, diploma' s and certifications. In general: Don' t just post your resume and then sit and wait for a response. Watch the boards and actively apply to positions that you qualify for or interest you. Follow up with a phone call after a couple of days. Also make sure your cover letter is of high quality. It should contain why you are applying and what you have to offer relative to the job requirements. Make sure you' re available for them to contact you, nothing is more frustrating for a hiring manager than a possible candidate not picking up the phone. | |
