If you’ve been discouraged in your job search, I can assure you, you’re not alone! You may be lucky enough to find a job listing in your specialty, that’s the first step, then you apply or send your resume and it’s the waiting game. Today employers have MANY resumes to sort through.
This brings me to a link and an image I want to show you to inspire you. I’m in the creative field and though I thought my resume was a bit different with b/w and a gradient design feature, I realize now that it now needs more!
You will see what I mean when you read Sam’s blog and see the following. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. CREATE that resume to be SEEN and not FORGOTTEN right away. I’ll admit, at first I thought it was too much, but the more I got to thinking I could see this working in ANY chosen field. Can you imagine what you can do with a chef’s resume? accountant? nurse? driver? construction?& so on?
I also want to point out that I do believe a photo can help. On my career web-site you can upload photos which adds to the overall valued package your selling – yourself! I’ve also been involved in other web-sites and suggest job seekers to also create their own blog, register on twitter or LinkedIn to network with others and create a presence.
Enjoy the link and/or resume below & start CREATING your resume. BTW if you need help, feel free to contact me!
A special thank you to Sam (Sam he is!) for allowing me to share with others.
