You’ve got tough competition in the job market today. Your résumé is being received by employers along with the résumés of people equally or more qualified. A human resources consultant who receives hundreds of résumés reads less than half...only those that make it through the initial scan. The ones that fare well do what effective résumés should as marketing brochures: they spark the reader’s interest in a particular product--you.

How Do You Spark the Reader’s Interest?
Your job objective must be brief and must state how your skills can be applied. Your experience must show what you have accomplished and how you accomplished it--it should not simply be a reprint of job descriptions or job titles. To stand out from the crowd you must show results.

Don’t take this task lightly. Your résumé is your introduction to the hiring company and you must make a good first impression to survive the employer’s initial scan.

AFAVBA Résumé Review and Critique Service
If you feel you can do the job, go for it! Then, after it’s completed, send your résumé to AFAVBA for a professional review and critique. Would a different format show your experience in a better light? Too many buzzwords? Experience need some fine tuning? Does it read like a compilation of job descriptions? AFAVBA’s professionals will let you know. They will edit your résumé and provide a critique sheet with suggestions for improvement.
