Last month I wrote about some issues that prevent such a large portion
of job seekers from creating truly powerful résumés. If you missed
that issue, you can catch up at:

<http://www.JHACareers.com/WriteAPowerfulResume.htm>

Now I want you to put yourself in the shoes of the hiring manager
reading your résumé. Get into that hiring manager's head and
imagine what you absolutely have to address to get his or her attention.

Let me tell you the answer from my perspective, having been a hiring
manager recruiting, interviewing, hiring and building up a department
from scratch over 13 years.

I believe there are 3 fundamental questions your résumé MUST
answer to grab my attention and demonstrate that you are the candidate I
want to interview.

Here's the first question:

Does it present a strong, professional appearance?

I'm shocked at what a high percentage of supposed 'sales documents' are
sloppy, or hard to read, or have tons of stuff crammed on the page, etc.

That's one reason why it's so important to make sure there are no
spelling mistakes. I can forgive a grammar error much more easily, but
not spelling. After all, with any decent word processing program, you
only have to look at the screen to see such mistakes. If you either
weren't capable of that, or weren't willing to make the effort to check,
what does that tell me about your attention to detail in your work?

Having a professional image doesn't mean you need to have intricate
graphics or the latest exciting font type, or to print on fancy, glossy
paper. It just means your document has to look professional, and like
it was put together by someone who cares about the quality of his or her
work.
