Real Purpose of Resume Writing
When I first came up with the title for my resume writing services report, “7
Resume & Cover Letter Tips That’ll Get You More Interviews,” it caused a friend of mine to raise his eyebrows. “More interviews?” he asked. “Resume writing means more than that…wouldn’t you rather call it, ‘7 Resume & Cover Letter Tips That’ll Get
You a Job?’
I shrugged. “Sure,” I told him, “I’d love to call it that. Boy, what a powerful title that would be! A resume writing service that shouts, ‘two little pieces of paper alone can land you the job you’ve always dreamed of, with a six-figure salary and a month’s vacation time to boot!’ ”
My friend and I debated this resume writing topic for a little while longer. I ended up explaining to him that it just doesn’t work that way. You and I both know, a resume and cover letter alone can’t get you a job. Not by themselves.
The real and honest purpose of resume writing is to get you the interview. From there, how well you do at the job interview is what can lead to that great job offer.
All Those Resume Writing Promises, Promises…
When surfing the net, I’ve come across resume writing services that will make these huge, unrealistic promises. Resume writing that can, by itself, get you the job you want, the income you want, all in a matter of weeks.
Unfortunately, some jobseekers choose to believe this, that the resume writing alone is what gets you the job, and that’s all it takes.
And that explains why some job seekers mistakenly try to cram everything about
themselves into a single resume. Sometimes, things that aren’t even related to the
position, and it ends up becoming resume writing filled with needless fluff.
Powerful, persuasive resume writing gets your foot in the door.
From then on, it’s up to you to use your interview skills to carry on, give a
great impression and convince them you’re the right person for the job.
