RESUME TIPS with Sample Resume

Here are some tips for a better resume:

Shoot for NOT more than 2 pages (unless it’s a CV with academic achievements). For a standard resume, it’s not the end of world if strays to third page, but the goal is not more than 2!

Add a short, punchy headline under your personal info that in essence is YOUR billboard. Someone can scan this in 10 seconds and know what you and your career are about. These are very effective. Here are some examples:

Highly motivated product-builder of online publishing solutions for financial traders with a proven track record in leading Development and Sales teams to on-time delivery and the successful achievement of revenue targets

Goal-oriented sales professional with a proven track record of achievement for winning course adoptions in medical and veterinary schools and increasing retail sales in health science bookstores

For each job, add what the resume books call: “the responsibility statement.” This is a couple of short sentences that summarize what you are doing or did in each job.

After the “responsibility statement” list your accomplishments or key duties in bullet form. WHY BULLETS? Because they are easy to read and scan quickly. Hiring mgrs love bullets.

Leave out stuff that’s not really relevant like awards or other things. If awards are very germane to your field, it’s ok to keep them, but not imperative. They are good grist for the interview
Use high impact words when describing your accomplishments in bullets: increased, grew, created, built, analyzed, saved, implemented, etc…….
Be quantitative wherever possible especially in your bullet points….increased sales 53%, achieved 112% of quota, Reduced production cost 41%, etc.
Say more about recent jobs, less about distant jobs even those with sentimental value that occurred 18 yrs ago. Fact is everyone focuses on what you’ve done recently.

In general, keep things short and not verbose. It’s hard to write short, but the best resumes showcase that skill.

It’s OK to have several versions of your resume based upon your various skill sets. And it’s fine to tweak your resume to align with the current job you are seeking. The hiring manager ultimately will decide whether you are the best fit for the position, but getting in front of that decision-maker is half the battle. An “on target” resume helps open this door.

Attention to detail is paramount in a resume. This includes spelling, format, fonts, etc. Use a spell-check or have someone you trust proof-read your resume for errors. You’ll be glad you did. We have several clients that bounce even well-qualified candidates for spelling errors. And DO NOT rely on your JFA partner or anyone else to catch these errors. This IS YOUR JOB! YOUR RESUME IS YOU…make it special and error-free.

Interview Tips

Interviewing is a key part of the hiring process. Here are some tips to consider before your interview. This information comes from direct feedback from hiring managers, our team’s collective experience as hiring managers AND recruiters, and other published works. I hope you find them useful as you prepare for your interview.

First impressions are paramount: look professional, jacket and tie for men, professional garb for women. It’s fine to OVERDRESS for an interview. Underdressing can be fatal. This particularly applies to video interviews. Do not make the mistake of underdressing just because the interview is not in-person.
In a pre-COVID world…greeting with a firm handshake and a smile was the norm, no longer. In a COVID age for in-person encounters maybe a quick bow, nod, or wave will suffice…or maybe a handshake. Be respectful of each person’s aversion to physical contact these days.
SMILE OFTEN….few other mannerisms will make a more lasting impression. If you need to wear a mask during an interview, still remember to smile as the eyes can tell a good story here.
Maintain eye contact as much as possible – it makes a HUGE difference. When ZOOMING…don’t be afraid to stare into the green dot occasionally for maximum “eye” contact. Typically though, just speaking to the person directly on zoom (not green dot staring) is fine.
Keep your energy up. If you have a long interview, be sure to ask for WATER and stay hydrated. If it’s a long session, bring a banana or apple just in case you need “no mess” sustenance.
Know the product line as much as possible. Visit the company website, poke around, look for their vision statement or mission statement. The more familiar you are with the product and company, the richer your interview will be and this knowledge will inform questions you might have. All this is a healthy signal that you are engaged and interested in what lies ahead.
Write a follow up Thank You email within 24 hours of your interview. You have two options: 1) send an email to each person you speak with, OR – the JFA preference – 2) write one email to the head of the search committee and ask that person to share it with the full committee. Either approach works, and please cc (or bcc) your JFA ally! We recommend a 2-3 sentence email, don’t write a book – STOP SELLING. Also, this link about Thank You notes from Fiona Foley is helpful.
Make sure your resume tells a story. ALL your past jobs should point toward the job you are interviewing for NOW. In fact, each job you’ve had has given you new skills and facets that make you THE BEST applicant for the job in front of you. You should be comfortable telling that story in the interview. Hiring mgrs oftentimes want to know “how things fit together” from your past. This exercise helps you convince the hiring manager or search committee of this fit. You must describe how THIS JOB fits in or culminates the ARC OF YOUR CAREER to this point.
Have a couple “success stories” at the ready to cite in the interview. These specific examples demonstrate your abilities – in marketing, in sales, in editorial, in management, in IT – and give the hiring manager a more vivid picture of your skills.
Have some questions ready! At some point, the interviewer will likely ask “what questions do you have for me/us?” This can be an awkward transition but don’t let that happen. Instead, prepare in advance and come with a couple questions ready to go. These can be born from your exploration of the company website or the product line or news you’ve heard in the market or whatever. Good questions can make a strong impression so be ready!
If you like what you hear in the interview let the manager know that YOU WANT THE JOB! This type of affirmative action does make a difference, and it will distinguish you from 90% of other candidates who just let things drift at the end of the interview.
We don’t encourage candidates to talk salary. That’s our job. HOWEVER, it’s important BEFORE THE INTERVIEW that YOU and your JFA recruiter are on the same page on salary. Increasingly, companies are not allowed to ask about salary history (see list below) but you should have a clear understanding of what your salary requirements are and how those align with the compensation for the position at hand. If you and your JFA recruiter are in synch…there’s no reason to not talk salary info during an interview if the hiring party broaches it. Generally speaking, salary doesn’t typically arise in interviews until the end of the process but let’s use these rules just in case. As noted above, more and more US states PROHIBIT discussion of salary history. See here for the list of these states that prohibit talk of salary history. Given that, the question to candidates becomes: “what are your salary requirements?” Be ready for that one. Outside the US, the rules vary country by country so please explore this and know the rules of the hiring country.
On any application you complete (online or hard copy), we recommend that you leave salary questions blank. This is confidential information. Applications are occasionally handled very cavalierly, and salary information can become public knowledge. This is becoming less of an issue as more regions prohibit discussions of salary history. Always check with your JFA rep if questions arise in this area. As a general rule, salary is an issue that could be negotiated between the hiring manager and the recruiter who represents YOU. If the hiring party insists on negotiating directly with you….BE SURE to include US in the loop to give you the optimal negotiating result.
References are only needed at the very end of the process – the finalist stage. Your JFA ally will help you here. We recommend 3 references – one former manager, two current or former peers. This can vary of course depending on the hiring party’s preference. Always confirm with references beforehand that they are comfortable in this role.
Be positive. Never run from one job to “this job.” Instead, have a cogent reason why leaving your current job for this one makes sense in your career progression and in “your story.”
Similarly, be able to talk about why you left each job on your resume. Don’t be defensive, just the facts please…and never run down a former employer…even if they deserve it. It reflects very badly on a candidate.
For in-person interviews, always bring an extra copy of your resume with you…just in case.
TURN YOUR PHONE COMPLETELY OFF… AIRPLANE MODE…NO VOLUME ….OFF! AND DO NOT LOOK IT AT DURING YOUR INTERVIEW. FOCUS ONLY ON THE DISCUSSION AT HAND. Several candidates have lost out because of a preoccupation with their phone during the interview…it’s a major turnoff.
Be VERY careful if considering a COUNTER-OFFER from your current employer. 70-80% of those accepting counter-offers are NOT with the firm a year later. The reasons? See the article that follows for details. When someone accepts a counter-offer the dynamic between that employee and the employer can change and, usually, not in a good way. Our advice is…commit to the career change and stick with it…ONWARD and UPWARD!!!
Even before the pandemic, clients were increasingly using video interviews (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, GoogleMeet, etc.) to save on cost and time. Now it is THE NORM for part or ALL of the process. The technology is improving which is a good thing and no doubt will continue to do so. Here are some key things to consider in this setting: 1) be sure the connection and lighting are good, 2) recall that YOU ARE ON SCREEN and all gestures (scratching nose, looking for notes, yawning) and environmental elements (dog barking in background, doorbell ringing, interruptions by family members or pets, the leaf blower) are amplified. Find a quiet, professional location for the call, 3) NO LOUD clothing please…, 4) EYE CONTACT remains KEY so look at the camera…not the screen, 5) BE UNFLAPPABLE! in that the technology could fail so be sure to have alternate call-in info in case the screen goes dark and the connection fails. More than ever…prepare for the unexpected. 6) REMEMBER to SMILE…still the #1 body language tool.
YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE MATTERS because hiring manager ARE watching! This is an important and perhaps sensitive topic. Recently, a highly qualified candidate was summarily dismissed early in the process because of the bellicose language appearing on one of his social sites. The lesson here is simple: if you are actively posting on social media, there’s a good chance an inquisitive hiring manager will dive into that content. I’m not recommending you refrain from these platforms or that you stop talking about positions or causes you are passionate about. What I DO recommend is: watch the tone of your language. In a similar way, be mindful of profile pictures that now represent you…especially on LinkedIn. This should be a serious, respectful image that says: “hiring this person would be a smart move.” Any picture that doesn’t support that theme…as clever or funny or flattering you think it may be…is not helpful. Leave the fun pix for Instagram, Facebook et al.
