Is There A Perfect Resume?

Seniors, do you fear graduating from your university and entering the real world? Have you completed your resumes and cover letter templates? Like most seniors, I began to have doubts, fear and anxieties, especially when it came time to create and develop my resume and cover letter.
I researched different professional writers, and paid $250 to Objective Resumes to ensure a perfect resume that all employers will love. Well, I have news for you. There is no such thing as a perfect resume that will match the needs and wants of each employer!
Like anything in business, you must test your resume including its wording and its format, to see which works best for you. Resumes are too expensive to not continually change, update and reformat your professionally written resumes in order to attract and retain your prospective employer’s interest.
Since paying $250, I must have changed my resume and its format a thousand times, in order to make it stand out from the crowd. When employers sift through hundreds of emailed and faxed resumes each day, unless your resumes and cover letters stand out, and say “Hire me, I’m different from the crowd” then chances are your resume is still in their so-called candidate files. After reading many books, and tips online, I have learned that I must customize my resumes and cover letters to the likings of each employer and temp agency account manager.
I’m not saying, don’t pay a professional resume writer for their services. I’m not saying, do the writing yourself. What I am saying is take the foundation they provide you with, and build from there.
