The Strategy of BOLD

When preparing a rç©sumç©, the use of bold print is one of those thoughts lingering in the back of your mind that you should be sure to incorporate.÷  Once all of the information has been gathered and typed into some sort of format, and the rç©sumç© is essentially complete, the first thing the average person does is go back and highlight items throughout the presentation in BOLD.


Executive Recruitment for Long Term Gain

All company recruitment, whether it"s for part time secretarial positions or senior management posts, is crucial. Fitting the right person with the right job ensures that a company"s machinery continues to operate smoothly, even get better: while placing the wrong candidate in a position can be an error that is as legally difficult to rectify as it is costly. There are, though, certain positions within every company"s structure that can be seen as lynchpins ò€“ where placing the wrong candidate can cause catastrophic interruption to the systems run by a business, as well as extremely serious financial fallout. The top positions in a company must be staffed, at all times, by the right people ò€“ which is why executive recruitment seems the most logical way to fill any vacant spots.


Creating the Perfect Resume

Here are some tips on perfecting that resume so you can get that phone call you"ve been long waiting for:

1. Keep your resume short ò€“ usually no longer than one page (remember 30 seconds!)

2. Make sure it"s neat, organized and easy to read ò€“ use bullet points when necessary

3. Make sure to be honest about your skills and abilities ò€“ education, qualifications, past employment or a prison record are all things that businesses can look into nowadays and lying about any of these things can turn out to be extremely detrimental in the long run.

4. NO TYPOS! Make sure to check over your resume when you are done writing up and it wouldn"t be a bad idea to ask a family member or friend to read it over before submitting it to firms.

5. Include as much work experience as possible ò€“ even if it"s babysitting, working for family friends or volunteering it would be a good idea to include it on the resume especially if you don"t have much professional work experience.

6. If you are a student and have a good grade point average include it!

7. Make sure to include any awards or honors you"ve received that will make you look good to employers.

8. Include two or three references that can vouch your hard work, determination and skills. Make sure you inform them and get their permission prior to including them in your resume.

9. Keep it simple ò€“ this your resume is not your autobiography so do not include a career or life story of yourself.

10. Value Proposition ò€“ lastly, make sure your resume conveys how you will be an asset to the company you are applying for.
