Form and Format of Your Resume or Job Employment Appplication to the Specific H.R. Dept

September 17th, 2008

               It can be said that your resume is “you”  or your final print or cut.  Just as “first impressions”  are everything so is the impressions that your resume portrays and delivers.

Your resume must be genuine.  It must be “you in the flesh” so that when you follow up on your job search and contacts both your resume and yourself are in congruity and continuity.  How else could it be otherwise.

If your resume is dry and lackluster your initial impressions on any H.R. people that you are most dry and lackluster and too low key for them unless the job is for a funeral director.    Style can be said to be of great importance as well.  Next style has to fit format.  Just as you will have to package yourself in the costume of the job territory, your resume and applications have to be packaged more than appropriately.

It can be said that no stock format will totally fit your story.  Resume formats are like fingerprints and eyes.  No two living people have the same.   Format lengths range from one-page teasers to magazine length treatises.   However yet again this may be all lost on some low intelligence types who somehow have risen in their position and may be intimidated by such standard words and phrases as the word “arbitrary” .   Again it all comes down to hard work and research as well as attention to detail and details.

The truth can be said that at best, many people including the professional h.r. people that you will be call on and be in contact with that many of them will read resumes like they read newspapers or a computer screen.   A quick initial glance at the first page or screen .  Then a few other paragraphs here and there.    Seldom if ever turning the page or reading down to the bottom of the computer screen.  That is why targeting your job resumes and applications to both the job application and the personalities   and their preferences are so important.
