THE IMPORTANCE
OF USING THE RIGHT RESUME AND APPLYING TO POSITIONS ON EXECUTIVESONLY
AND OTHER WEB SITES
Marketing
yourself with a homemade resume could be the most expensive
mistake you ever make. Here's why:
As a high level
executive, your resume must make an immediate impact. This
document must be a hard-hitting masterpiece that raises eyebrows
and commands immediate attention. Think of your corporate
resume as your personal thirty-second commercial. You have
thirty seconds to get and keep the readers attention.
Do
it yourself resume, Yes or No?
Writing
your own resume is a mistake that could cost you hundreds
of thousands or even millions of dollars over the course of
your career.
If you're
a recent college grad or a technical person seeking $40K,
then do it yourself. But if you are somebody with earning
power in excess of $100K, then it is ludicrous to attempt
marketing yourself.
You
could lose more than $750,000 from your Life Time Earning
Potential
Let's
say you are currently earning $150,000 annually and you are
in the market for a 20% salary increase. You identify an opportunity
offering a starting base of $180,000 and with out much discretion,
you shoot your resume out. If you nail down an interview and
eventually an offer, you could add $30,000 to your annual
salary. Over 15 years this increase will bring you $450,000
In additional life time earnings (LTE). Add annual increases
based on current compensation, and in base salary alone, you've
added nearly three-quarters of a million dollars to your LTE!
Imagine
missing out on an opportunity that could cost you nearly 1
million dollars because you didn't send the right resume to
the right person! The above example is very modest. I have
had clients add 30 to 50% to annual earnings. It never ceases
to amaze me that Executives will hire professionals to fix
their cars, mow their lawns, paint their houses, etc. But
when it comes to their resume, they think they can go it alone.
No matter if you're a just keeping your feelers out or in the midst of an urgent and intense job search, we all know that a professionaly crafted, high-powered resume will win more interviews, which could mean more offers and more money.
