Sunday Funday: Resumes

This week's Sunday Funday focuses on your resume direction. Let's look at a few tips to improve the chances youre resume gets noticed:
  • Don't be afraid to embellish. This is a cut-throat job market and humility will not help your chances of getting hired (well, maybe at a non-profit, but not at a real company).
  • Creativity can help you stand out. With the thousands of resumes flooding HR offices everyday, think about how you can help your resume stand out from the masses.

  • We are in the 21st century. Paper resumes are so 20th century. Video resumes are getting more popular by the nanosecond. An informative narration, with clear visuals of how amazing you look and a funky soundtrack can go along way into helping you secure an interview (Tip: I would recommend a Bruce Springstein or Aerosmith song. Everyone likes these bands and they let the employer know that while you may be a hard worker, you still know how to party).
