Ever submit a resume and wondered why you didn’t even get a call, when you
felt that you were ideal for the job? Ever felt that your resume was buried
in a database and not even getting seen?
Chances are your resume didn’t demonstrate the 3 things an employer looks f
or on a resume. Even in the prescreening process (databases, recruiters and
HR staff) are instructed to search for these 3 things, by the keywords they
search for.
If you can clearly present these three things in your resume, you give yours
elf a much greater chance of scoring an interview. But what are they?
#1: Can the candidate solve the specific top problems I have today? An emplo
yer is searching for evidence that you can solve their unique top problems.
The best way you can demonstrate that you can solve their top problems is by
clearly demonstrating that you’ve already solved those exact problems. Mos
t resumes do a poor job answering this question, as most candidates create r
esumes that demonstrate general problem solving skills rather than solving t
he unique top problems a specific employer has today.
? Do your research to find out the specific problems, challenges, and goals
a company has today
? Do more research to determine how those corporate challenges, problems, an
d goals affect the department and hiring manager
? Don’t just list broad industry skills, hoping it meets your target’s nee
ds
? Don’t just say that you can learn – Beyond entry level jobs, few compani
es will pay you for training or ramp-up time when they can find plenty of ca
ndidates who won’t need training

#2: Can the candidate build shareholder value?
Outside of the non-profit world, a company is willing to pay an employee bec
ause they believe you will make them more money than they pay - You are an i
nvestment. The best way you can demonstrate that you’re a profitable invest
ment on your resume is to demonstrate how you’ve already built shareholder
value for past employers and clients. Most candidates forget this notion, wr
iting a resume that focuses on what they themselves want or a resume that de
scribes how they spend their day.
? Do your research to find out the type of value likely to be important to t
his specific company, department and manager
? Demonstrate your value in numerical results or percentages
? Translate your accomplishments to shareholder value
? Claim responsibility
? Don’t emphasize responsibilities ? Don’t emphasize your past companies a
ccomplishments over your specific achievements
#3: Will the employee fit in with the company’s culture?
While this is really answered during the interview, your resume gives clues
about how you’ll fit in with the company’s culture. But because these clue
s are so limited because you’re not there in person, they typically only se
rve as disqualifiers rather than qualifiers.
? Learn as much as you can about a company’s culture before applying for a
position
? Be who you are, rather than trying to present a different persona
? Do research to find companies and positions who will value an employee wit
h your personality
? Don’t fight ageism - embrace it
? Don’t waste your time - If you’re not a culture fit, apply somewhere els

So look closely at your resume…better yet have someone else look closely at
it. Instead of asking the generic “What do you think?” ask your reviewer
to view your resume as a specific targeted employer would and lay out the ba
ckground details.
Then ask…Does your resume clearly answer the employer’s 3 basic questions?
