For those of you who are not baseball fans or a

Why do I mention this?

Freddy was on one of the worst teams in baseball, my Pittsburgh Pirates. Even though he was on the worst team he did not let that affect his performance at work. It would be very easy to let your individual performance suffer whne the organization you work for is going down faster than the Titanic in icy water.

Do you allow your individual performance at work slack when your organization is falling apart all around you? Or do you let your individual performance slack when the project you are working on begins to fall apart?

How accurate is your resume?

Is it up-to-date?

Have you had it proofread by a professional resume writer?

Have you employed the services of a professional resume writer?

I don’t know about you but I cannot stand writing my resume. I have no idea how someone does it for a living. A resume is such an important document that a job seeker relies upon to give a first impression to a potential employer. Since that is the case, why do so many job seekers flippantly send out their resume like it is an instant message? For many recruiters, errors are the easiest way to par down the unmanageable number of resumes they may receive for a popular position.

Resumes should be treated like a chef treats a dish they are serving to a high profile guest. It has to look just right, taste just right, and smell just right in order for it to be effective. So does your resume.

My recommendation is to hire the services of a professional resume writer to ensure your resumes shines in front of the eyes of that recruiter. A resume that is only “kind-a”good” just doesn’t cut it.
