WELCOME TO THE PRE-RESUME™
Over my years of calling on HR/Recruiting professionals the one thing I noticed, and continue to notice, is the disconnect that exists between recruiters/hiring managers/business owners and job seekers. It was with this reason in mind that a few years back I created my own resume format and coined the term: The Pre-Resume™.
The Pre-Resume™ is designed for one purpose only: to get you the appointment!
You will still require a long-form resume to submit when someone calls and says 'they need more information'.
Regardless if you are an entry-level job seeker or if you have several years of employment history--the Pre-Resume™ will work for you.
What follows is the Jerry Job Seeker sample Pre-Resume™.
Brief notes accompany the sample along the left margin but I can't begin to explain all the reasons for my format in this single page. The first 4 chapters of The Real Secret to Finding a Job book focus on your completing a personal inventory for an Accomplishments Worksheet from which you will choose the 4 accomplishments for your Pre-Resume™; the where's, how's and why's of the Pre-Resume format and, finally, lessons on resume-filtering software that is so much a part of why your are NOT hearing back from online submissions--you MUST learn how to play the keywords" game"!
The Real Secret to Finding a Job book also has chapters focused on The Entry-Level Pre-Resume™, The Professional Mom's (aka the stay-at-home mom) Pre-Resume ™ and The IT Professional's Pre-Resume™.
Remember that all I can show you on this single page is just the tip of the iceberg!
Good (job) hunting to all of you!
