DO NOT Use a Microsoft Word Resume Template!!

May 12, 2008 by Martin Buckland Leave a Comment

As a Certified Professional Resume Writer, this is definitely my most major peeve!  Not only does it appear that Microsoft did little research in creating their resume template, they have also never felt the need to update it either!  A viable, highly employable, potential employee will be eliminated from further consideration simply by choosing this template. “I am seeking a challenging […]

Do you follow-up after your job interview?

May 9, 2008 by Martin Buckland Leave a Comment

Resumes and cover letters aren’t the only documents that could have a positive influence in securing your next career move.  Follow-up letters after your job interview are just as important. They can position you in the drivers seat! As a Career Management Professional, I am constantly amazed at the number of people who don’t recognize the significance […]

Resume Writing Errors

May 5, 2008 by Martin Buckland Leave a Comment

There is no room for complacency in a resume. Thinking that you can get by with an inferior document, doesn’t work. First impressions count. First impressions last……….!

Make your resume look polished!! The ‘wow’ factor, and the look of your resume are direct reflections of you!

Job Search Tip #1

November 13, 2007 by Martin Buckland Leave a Comment

Don’t be discouraged or offended when your resume merits little or no excitement from Recruiters. They are extremely busy and receive numerous resumes each day.      Recruiters are employed to “Hunt Heads”. If they have a position that meets your expertize and background they will call you.

Are cover letters read?

November 11, 2007 by Martin Buckland Leave a Comment

There is a misconception about cover letters. Many job seekers don’t bother to send cover letters because they assume they won’t be read. Wrong.  I know that some employers and recruiters prefer to go straight to the resume and ignore the cover letter. However, you cannot assume that will always be true. Over the years as […]

Get Your Resume into the Right Hands.

November 7, 2007 by Martin Buckland Leave a Comment

Realize what can happen to a resume and cover letter saying “To whom it may concern”?  To Human Resources personnel, this means that you didn’t take the time to find the name of the resume recipient. Of course, your resume may make it through the maze anyway, and someone may even read it.   However, to […]

Do you want your resume to get noticed or not?

November 5, 2007 by Martin Buckland Leave a Comment

There are a plethora of free e mail addresses available on the Internet. As a Resume Writer, I see many foolish e mail addresses that will honestly diminish your chances of making you shine above the competition.   A great, accomplishment-based resume damaged because of your address?

Interviewers Making Mistakes!

September 21, 2007 by Martin Buckland Leave a Comment

Really, do interviewers make mistakes? Yes, of course they do. It’s a two-way street; a meeting of the minds. Interviewers always get nervous. It’s only human nature.   Surveys normally focus on the interviewees. However, recently Development Dimensions International (DDI) turned the tables and decided to research interviewers with some intriguing findings.   They asked interviewees questions […]
