Candidates need make sure the skills and experience that each individual employer is looking for is highlighted on a tailored resume provided to that employer. The best way to stand out is to make sure your resume meets the hiring manager’s needs and it is easy for that hiring manager to see it. Your resume may only get a few seconds of attention, so those few seconds have to count. MGD Services, Inc.’s resume assistance helps candidates ensure that their experience and skills stand out to each employer.<br /><br />Is it any wonder that the "Comments" on that blog post are closed????Bridget Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303071890800411643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748554356315000507.post-48390216343978744402012-01-28T18:34:25.068-06:002012-01-28T18:34:25.068-06:00Resumes -- even paper resumes -- have not, and are...Resumes -- even paper resumes -- have not, and are not yet, going the way of the horse-and-buggy. <br /><br />Certainly, there are some companies -- and many recruiters -- who would like to declare the resume "dead." But the reality is that the resume is still the most *common* way for prospective employees to give hiring managers an opportunity to evaluate their qualifications.<br /><br />I will refer again to Julie Walraven's excellent article:<br />http://designresumes.com/2012/01/point-counter-point-is-the-resume-dead/<br /><br />... and an article which appeared in January/February 2000 issue of Resume Writers' Digest: "Resumes Stink: Start Asking for a Portfolio" by Dr. John Sullivan, Head Professor/Professor of Human Resource Management in the College of Business, San Francisco State University.<br /><br />Video didn't kill the radio star.<br />Netflix didn't kill the movie theater.<br />The iPad didn't kill newspapers.<br /><br />And as for paper resumes specifically, when most of the hiring is done by companies with fewer than 100 employees*, applicants can stand out from the masses sending their resumes via email and either reach the decision-maker directly with a mailed resume or use their network to get a resume handed to a hiring manager.<br /><br />*Source: http://www.census.gov/econ/smallbus.htmlBridget Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303071890800411643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748554356315000507.post-80968816076272829432012-01-28T11:13:50.181-06:002012-01-28T11:13:50.181-06:00B - When I read these articles I always wonder abo...B - When I read these articles I always wonder about the author.

It is rare that my clients ask about paper resumes. I posted this Thursday on my Google Plus account: <br /><br />http://mgdservices.com/2012/01/26/has-the-paper-resume-been-forced-into-unwanted-retirment/<br /><br />Apparently, there is a WSJ article as well.Mark Anthony Dysonhttp://thevoiceofjobseekers.comnoreply@blogger.com
