Take a moment and consider the person who will read and evaluate your resume and job application. Not just YO|U|R resume, but dozens more after yours... do you know what they are looking for?
Cake!
The employer wants something of substance that relates to HIS needs in getting the job done -
something that lets him know
1. you appreciate the pressures on his time
2. you have an understanding of the job you are applying for
but mostly
3. that he is fond of CAKE!
Many resumes are filled with fluffy frosting which looks good and may make the applicant proud of being fourth in a local spelling contest or employee of the month three years ago...
but that is "frosting"
and the employer needs to have something of value or they will look for someone else's resume that has some cake.
Come, see what I mean in the following video...
maybe even have some popcorn while you are watching it.
Now get back to your resumes and practice applications and scrape off the excess fluff you have.
Enjoy the day...
