           A resume is a short version of what you are looking for and your work experience. It is also a written document to qualify you for a specific job opening.

Based on my last blog, here are a few hidden messages that are conveyed in poorly written resume.

• No attention to detail
• Don’t care what I look like
• Not well organized
• Lack of computer skills
• Written communication is not my strength
• My oral communication skills are as good as my writing skills
• I just want a job
• My resume is not that important that is why I had it crumpled in my back pocket
• I will take care of your equipment with the same care as I take with my resume
• Correct information is not important to me
• Long tenure with employers is not important
• My math skills are as good as my spelling skills

        These are just a few examples of hidden messages that interviewers pick up when reading a resume. If the purpose of a resume is to assist in obtaining your next job opportunity then why not spend the time and do a GOOD resume?
