Are you tired of sending resumes without getting results? Do you think your resume isn't generating those interviews that you want? Do you want to stand out from the rest of all applicants and clinch that interview?

Research shows that 95% job interviews are granted after the employer has become interested in the candidate's resume. A good resume has to make an impression within the first 30 seconds. It will not only open the door to an interview, it will often get you to the final hiring decision of an employer. So how do you prepare an attractive resume? Here are some tips that you can follow.

Read the job advertisement. Many people only give a short glance to the advertisement and then proceed to send their pre made resume. That's a big mistake. The applicant should carefully read the qualifications mentioned and make the resume according to what it's asking. A good resume should fit the requirements and qualifications that the employer is asking for.

Select your resume format. It's a very strategic decision to find the appropriate format that will show off your skills to their advantage. This has a real impact on the receptivity employers have to your initiatives. There's no universal "right format" for all people. The most effective guide is to review your own objective and background to know which one is the best fit for you.
List your personal information. Include only personal pieces of information that are related to your job objective.

State your objective clearly. Be brief and concise but also be specific to the position you are applying for.

Highlight your qualifications. A summary of your qualifications is a good way of getting the attention of the prospective employer. This way you can catch his attention and then he can review your resume in a short time. It should get through the message that you have the credentials and basic skills needed for the job.

Present your relevant skills and experiences directly. Create a list that contains the name and city of the company, dates started and ended and job title. This should be in chronological order. Keep in mind that you don't have to put numerous details about previous jobs are that are not necessary. You can also include professional membership information or trade associations to show that you also have ongoing interests.

References upon request should be written at the bottom of the resume. References should no longer be part of a resume but you need to have your references available for a prospective employer. Always ask permission when using someone as a reference.

Print the resume on standard letter size; it should be professionally typed using conventional English. And finally, re- read your resume before the interview because chances are; the interviewer did just that too.

Employment, Jobs, Places, and Waiting Lines

The unemployed know the statistics. Their next job may eight to fourteen months away; meanwhile, their financial situation steadily deteriorates. They dip into meager savings, keeping a constant watch on spending. They may even get to the point where they face foreclosure and have to fight those proceedings. Unemployment is an ugly place to visit.

There aren't any rosy predictions for a recovery. Unemployment rates still hover around 9.6 percent with areas of the country at 12 percent and higher. So, where are the jobs?

Despite passing a watered down health care bill, the government reports that employment in the health care sector rose, adding about 20,000 jobs per month. The next highest employment sector was professional and business services adding about 17,000 jobs monthly. Manufacturing lost 27,000 jobs a month offsetting a majority of the gains in employment and aided by a loss government jobs due to the Census workers completing their short-term employment tasks.

The states with the highest unemployment rates were led by Nevada with an unemployment rate of 14% as of August, so you might want erase any thoughts of heading to the "All For Our Country" state. The other states above the 10% unemployment threshold were MI, yes, that's where the Big Three car makers reside, CA, FL, RI, SC, OH, OR, IL, IN, and GA. It's ugly out there.

Looking for employment? Statistics might indicate the best prospects are in states with the highest employment rates. These states, led by the Dakotas, all have unemployment rates below seven percent and include: North Dakota at 3.7% and South Dakota at 4.5%, followed by NE, NH, VT, WY, KS, HI, and IA.

So a move to any of the high prospect states, providing you can sell or walk away from your current location might be your best option. Or is it? Most state governments are trimming budgets and jobs. Standing in line without inside connections might not reap any benefits. On the other hand, education employment in these states might prove to be a viable option as education spending is up slightly. It makes sense as more people are opting to return to college or take certificate courses in order to land that next position.

Another option is self-employment; however, for those struggling to stay afloat, this option isn't likely. Start-up businesses require cash and usually aren't in the black for extended periods. They require a cash reserve and nerve to go it alone. Franchised businesses are also an option for the self-employed, but they add fees to any start-up venture and usually have recurring fees based on gross sales.

Part time work should be a consideration if you have been unemployed for any length of time and these opportunities might lead to full time employment. Overall, keep sending out resumes, continue building your network, and don't forget to follow up on those promising prospects with a phone call to the hiring manager.
