How long will you spend on the post just below this post?

Heck, even the posts of people you REALLY LIKE and support daily... you know you probably didn't read their entire post...

It's the same with resumes friends... I am probably one of the most sensitive hiring managers that ever existed... When a person puts their heart & soul into their resume, carefully framing every accomplishment... I felt a duty to give that document its due attention... and with all my heart...

𝐈 𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝟕 𝐭𝐨 𝟏𝟎 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬! (PS. this is the 7 sec mark in this post😉)

Why so little? Because most did NOT do what they were supposed to do. They didn't 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐕𝐄 𝐌𝐘 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐒... and FAST!

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫.

Is this fair? 100% NOT!

Is this reality? 100% YES!

Keep in this in mind. The average job opening attracts 250 applications... some get as many as 1,000... or MORE! The average recruiter is trying to fill more than a dozen openings... the average hiring manager is fitting her recruiting duties of those one or two openings into her schedule while shuffling all her other duties which makes it a low priority...

So, that 3-page literary masterpiece in which you use the unique phrase "𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒔 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍" in which you go into great detail about WHAT you do rather than HOW WELL you do it... well... You have 7 seconds... friends...🤷‍♂️

I know this post is a bit "abrasive"... but you spent 21 seconds reading it so it must have made "some" sense...
