I'm not getting interviews.......

There are many people that are having the challenge of sending out their resume, yet not getting interviews.

Typically, if you are sending out resumes and not getting response, the diagnosis is that your resume isn't "showcasing" your skills in the best way. Remember, the resume is nothing more than a marketing piece and it is critical that it highlights your expertise in a way to draw attention over your competitor's resume.

I'm wondering how many resumes you have sent out? Are you tracking that information? Sometimes, the resume looks great, however, the person simply isn't sending out enough of them.

Lastly, are you networking to find both posted positions and tap in to the hidden job market?

Take time to evaluate the strength of your resume. Remember, it is not the strength of your career that you are evaluating at this time, but the showcasing of your career on a piece of paper that will be your first "ticket" to gain the interview.
