Send resume to employer → Hear back from employer → Get interview → Get job offer.

If only it were this simple!

While the resume is the universal calling card to finding a job, when it comes to job hunting (and I say this over and over again to my clients!) it is just ONE tool you utilize to get a job or change careers. What are the most important things a resume should have? In one word: results.

Capturing the results of your good work demonstrates that you have contributed not only to your own professional development, but you have contributed to making your employers successful. This is what potential employers want to see on paper, and hear from you during interviews. In other words, they want to hear what you can do for them.

If you shrink from your resume, wonder what it says about you, or have a suspicion that your resume could do a much better job of representing you, you are not alone. I encourage you to take the first step and shake the dust off your resume and take a good hard look.
