New Wave Resumes

New Wave Resumes was created to help job seekers market themselves more effectively. Since I founded my recruiting business in January 2000 I have seen thousands of resumes that very poorly represent excellent candidates. In today’s very strong buyer’s market, you must stand out from the crowd rather than blend into it, but most résumés that I see use the same, old, tired format that was common when we were in a seller’s market prior to the economic downturn that began in October 2008.

The first rule of marketing is that when your demand conditions change, you must also change your promotional strategy. Demand conditions have certainly changed in the job market, and the tools you use to effectively market yourself to potential employers must adapt to these new conditions.

As a recruiter, I have asked my clients what they want to see in a résumé that will make them want to bring in a candidate for an interview….and what they have told me is nothing at all like what I see in most résumés.

In today’s job market, job seekers cannot afford to miss out on an opportunity because their résumé does not separate them from other candidates. If you want to get noticed and maximize your chances of getting the interviews you want, contact us. We can help you.
