The New Job Game-4

So how do you ace that interview and first of all how do you get that interview. Many ways have been suggested, successful in some cases and unsuccessful in others. The experts always say that you should tailor made your resume according to the specifics of the job. But if you are going to send out for example 10 resumes a day, you will have to tailor made 10 resumes. Although it may seems easier due to the abundance of all kinds of software to make this task easier. But if you are a prolific resume sender and desperate for a job you may send out two hundred resumes during one month or two. Do you really want to have two hundred different resumes and can you have the organizational patience to know to whom you sent your resume. Now the cover letter part. With these two hundred resumes in hand, you will have to customize your cover letter two hundred times. Again will you be able to do that having the organizational patience and skill. I don’t think that most of the people follow this advice, if they do they would already been hired and not be sharing their stories spread out on the internet.

Now the format of the resume. Again it all depends upon if you are just new out of College or have years of experience. The experts say that if you have experience emphasize that first and for the new College graduates, you should emphasize your degree first.
