Many people have the mistaken belief that the job interview is the most important step in their career transition process, perhaps because it is closer to the point where you are finally accepted or rejected for the position. They expend a lot of effort and mental energy focussing on the interview.
However a resume counts significantly in determining your perceived suitability for a position because a properly written resume should showcase your unique set of competencies and achievements. A job interview on the other hand provides more insight into your interpersonal skills and rapport. At the same time some interview questions will be based on what you did (or did not) include in your resume.
Your resume is vital in the selection process because it is the only step where you have full control over the information you present. A well written resume should be tailored to your particular demonstrated strengths and achievements. This still applies if you have a LinkedIn Profile because all your resume content should be carefully synchronised with your LinkedIn profile.
Every person has their own invisible 'modesty barrier' that can sometimes prevent them from seeing, acknowledging and showcasing their unique mixture of strengths, competencies and achievements. Many people take for granted important things that need to be clearly stated in their resume.
A well constructed resume data collection form may assist to draw out important information (we begin the resume process with a data collection form for all our clients) but even this can take considerable mental effort and focus. A vital step in developing a tailored resume is to have a professional consultation that can draw out your important competencies and achievements.
While a personal consultation can be done over the phone where time and or travel distance may be an issue, the best way to draw out the 'hidden gold' in a person is with a face to face consultation where the special chemistry of 'showing up' kicks in.
Making the effort at the start with your resume will in fact better equip you for the job interview because even though your resume may make you feel a little 'uncomfortable' it will be loaded with the important things that you will be able to speak about with confidence and conviction.
We understand this can be a significant investment of your time and money in your career transition first step. To help people begin this process we make available a complimentary resume review and short phone consultation to see exactly where you may need assistance.
