Developing Resumes & Cover Letters that Win Interviews

Writing A Targeted Resume that Wins Interviews
You have found the job you want. The question:
Is your resume ready to win the job for you?

Your resume is your self-marketing tool. It sells you to the employer. With the competition for jobs at an all time high you need a resume that gives you a competitive edge. Targeted resumes do just that. Generic or general resumes and cover letters rarely get past the initial review by employers human and computerized resume scanners. Generic or general resumes rarely produce significant results in a job search. They are too broad, too general and do not have the power or persuasiveness to convince an employer to interview you. Targeted resumes do! This guide will teach you the process of writing a targeted resume that will win interviews.

Inspiration for You

Many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated efforts. If he had never met defeat he would never have known any great victory.

- Orison Swett Marden

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

- Aristotle

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

- Seneca

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

- Harriet Beecher Stowe

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
