In this video, Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter poses a dilemma for job hunters . . . Do you want the best resume you can write or the best resume?
Who Gets Your Attention?
Hi, welcome to No BS Job Search Advice Radio and I’m Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter. It’s Saturday and what are you doing? Writing a resume? Is that really what you want to do? Especially given the fact that you’re an amateur at this. You’re not a pro.
How many resumes have you written in your career? And the problem is, you’re not an expert and it takes 10,000 hours of focused effort in order to be able to become an expert at this. So you’re going to wind up missing out on opportunities and costing yourself money. Does that make a lot of sense? On this show, I make a case for not just having the best resume that you can write, but the best resume.
I’m not recommending any services here. I’m just encouraging you to get a professional resume writer. If you want a recommendation, send me an email at TheBigGameHunter at gmail.com. Again, TheBigGameHunter at gmail.com. I’ll send you a quick email with a recommendation or two from me.
I’m not going to send a big list. One or two people I know can do good work. So, I hope you enjoy today’s show.
And if you do, give it five stars on iTunes. It will help with discovery of the show. And I hope you find it helpful.
So, here we go. I’m back with more No BS resume advice for you. And I just want to start by saying, I’m going to continue to give you great advice about how to improve your resume.
But I want to ask you a bit more basic question. Do you want to write the best resume that you, as a developer or accountant, engineer, auto mechanic, whatever your profession is, do you want to write the best resume that you can write? Or do you want to have the best resume? 99.9% of the time, there’s a very big difference between what you can write and what a professional can write. After all, like each of you in your profession, you may be the best person that you are at what you do.
And when your friend comes to you for advice about it, you can see that they’re an amateur and you can help them. Well, a professional resume writer can help you, too, in much the same way. They can construct a good basic resume.
Now, they’re not going to be able to write a resume for every single job that you may want to apply for. There, you can tailor your resume, the basic resume that they create into one that will fit each and every job. But they’re going to give you a good basic resume that’s going to be effective far more and far better than what you can do.
From Paycheck to Purpose
It will take them less time. And you can tweak it a little bit once you get it back. But when all is said and done, like I said, do you want to write the best resume that you could do or do you want to have the best resume? I think there’s a profound difference.
And if you want recommendations of some resume services, you can come over to my website, TheBigGameHunter.us or go over to TheResumeUniverse.com, both of which have recommendations of services that can do resumes for you. Now, again, I have lots of no BS resume advice available to you in video form. So, if you want to continue, I’m happy to . . . I’m going to give you more advice about it as time progresses.
I believe I have more than 25 videos as of this point that will help you with resume writing. But still, when all is said and done, you’re far better off getting a professional writer resume for you than doing it yourself. So, that’s today’s show.
