What Does Your Resume’s Trailer Say About You?
I really liked Jim Pawlak’s feature in Palm Beach Post: Set up your resume to read like a movie preview
Pawlak urges job seekers to create resumes that preview the value they bring to the table, similar to the way movie trailers spark the interest of moviegoers. While we probably wouldn’t be able to retain movie trailer voice legend Don LaFontaine for our resume previews, Pawlak suggests that adding accomplishments, creating your personal “wow” factor, and focusing on successes in the resume will generate employer interest.
Does your resume convey an enticing value proposition, or are you bound to flunk at the job-search box office because of a poorly written preview?
