23 Sep 09 Writing A Resume In A Recession
Part of surviving in an economic downturn, is knowing how to adjust your job hunting tactics. Part of that is adjusting your resume. As your resume is your introduction, or pre-interview to a job, you have to know the right direction to take in an economic recession. If any company does happen to be hiring, they’re going to be more discriminatory than before to applicants that don’t meet their qualifications. Meaning you’ve got a much larger wall to climb, in order to get your foot in the door.
The number one step in this plan is to keep your resume as current as possible. By frequently updating your resume with your most recent accomplishments, or work history, you ensure it’s current and very reflective of you. Beyond that you want to customize your objective to tailor to the company to which you are applying. Your objective should not be a bland description of what you want out of a job, but rather what you want to put into a job. Specifically focused on the company to which you are applying.
Highlight your stability from previous jobs. By emphasizing that you are a worker that is reliable, and also with a fair amount of loyalty, you make yourself an asset to an organization. Companies are looking to people that they can count on if they’re actually hiring during a recession. Highlight the fact that you are dependable, and that a company would do well to hire you for that fact.
Finally, make sure that you personalize the resume for each company. You need to have a job specific resume each time, so that you are presenting yourself as an interested party. By making the resume count for them, you look interested and ready to commit to the position. The work you put in before you actually get a job will pay off on your road to getting hired.
