TALK SHOW EPISODE NOTESIn this HELP! SITUATION™ episode, we explore the reality of the power of the resume in obtaining high income professional opportunities. This episode is based on an increasing amount of individual coaching clients that I have worked with who drastically underestimate the “make or break” impact of their resume (and cover letter, etc.). If a person wants a $75,000 USD annual income yet their resume (and cover letter, etc.) convey that they are worth $12 USD per hour, what will be the result? It appears that some people treat the resume as almost an afterthought and proceed in the professional opportunity search as if they can utilize the same type of resume for a high income opportunity that they used to obtain a minimum wage job as a teenager.
The written documentation (resume and cover letter, etc.) is everything in professional opportunity searches. It is the only written documentation that will screen you out of moving forward in the candidate pool or push you to the top of the possible hire list. Nominal information, misspellings, bland generic terms, poor grammar, etc., will doom your opportunities. You cannot “make up” for the low quality resume with a high quality interview. Your written documentation is your one chance to market yourself (yes, market yourself) to the world. It is an advertisement. What are you presenting yourself as worth (on the professional market)? Are you worth $28,000 USD (the median US individual income) or $82,000 USD? It is up to you. Stop sabotaging yourself. |
