What are the key indicators of a strong resume versus a weak one?
What Recruiters Know That You Don’t: They Like Atypical Answers
Easy! You’re getting interviews. A weak resume isn’t getting you interviews, a strong one is.
Now we could look at, you know, are we talking about a generic resume or a tailored resume? You always tailor your resume for each individual position you’re applying for, because otherwise you’re little more than a spammer.
So, strong resumes—that’s the way I’m going to look at it—strong resumes versus weak ones. Strong resumes that you generate per job get you interviews. Weak resumes reflect the fact that you’re not getting interviews, and as a matter of fact, your resume may not make a case for why you’re qualified to do these positions.
So the long and the short of it is, keep plugging, keep tailoring your resume, keep looking until such time as you have the offer letter in your hand. And even then, wait a month or two before you pull yourself off the market. I can’t tell you how many times, you know, people I knew took positions and discovered that what they were told about the new job wasn’t true, and thus they were stuck. They were stuck, and you don’t ever want to be in that position.
So I’ll just simply say, focus in on demonstrating to them that you have a world-class background, so that this way they always want to be talking with you.
