Learn the tested and proven resume writing formula that's landed jobs at Google, Salesforce, LinkedIn, and other world-class companies Picture a scenario: You're sitting at your kitchen table scrolling through job listings when you see one that catches your eye. As you read through the job description, your excitement builds as you realize that the job is a perfect fit Not wasting another second, you fill out the application, attach your resume, and hold your breath as you hit Apply. Then you wait. And wait. And wait some more. Weeks go by without hearing so much as a peep, and before long you've given up hope on what seemed like a match made in heaven. Sound familiar? You're not alone On average there are 250 resumes submitted for every job opening, which means that 99.6% of applicants will fail to land the jobs they apply for. To get the job you want, you don't just need a great resume--you need an outstanding resume, one that puts you in the top 1% of candidates for the job. That means ditching the same old advice you've been following with little results and adopting a tried-and-true process for getting your resume noticed in even the most competitive situations. In this book, Dan Clay breaks down the exact method he's carefully developed over a period of ten years and provides a precise, step-by-step set of instructions for crafting the perfect resume, down to the last period. Unlike the dime-a-dozen recruiters turned career coaches who have never had to put themselves on the line in today's brutally competitive job market, Dan offers practical, real-world experience gained from applying for and getting job offers from some of the most prestigious, competitive companies in the world. And when it comes to something as important as your career, don't you deserve to learn from someone who's actually succeeded at doing what you're hoping to do? Of course you do Here are some of the things you'll learn about how to transform your resume from average to awe-inspiring: How to handle tricky pitfalls like extended time off or unemployment and have your resume come out as strong as everHow to make your accomplishments sound dramatically more impressive without having to tell a single lieHow to remove the guesswork about what to include in your resume and build it to the exacting specifications of your target job's requirementsHow to pass the four tests that companies will put your resume through with flying colorsHow to strike the perfect composition of content, white space, and page length to accentuate and differentiate your strengthsHow to avoid the common (and not so common) resume mistakes that leave your resume dead on arrivalHow to tell a powerful story that demonstrates your capabilities in a way that will knock the socks off anyone reading itHow to stand out without resorting to cheap tricks that come off as cheesy or over-the-top PLUS, you'll also gain access to a free companion website containing fully editable resume templates, a perfect resume checklist, and other bonus materials to give you everything you need to create a stunning resume that will get you noticed and land you interviews.
