Extreme Alternative Resume . . . How To Knock The Socks Off Your Next Boss!

What’s an extreme alternative resume?

Well, let’s look at it this way. A traditional resume is passive . It tells the reader what you used to do for someone else . . . at the very time employers are looking for someone who can demonstrate they are proactive. In other words, an employer is looking for what you can do going forward.

You need an extreme alternative resume. Why? Because employers’ needs and expectations have shifted. It’s one of the many job search changes that have occurred in the 21st Century that must be reflected in your resume.

For example, employers today want to find a candidate who

* Understands the organization.

* Can show how to make a difference.

* Can demonstrate quantifiable contributions.

* Isn’t afraid to ask for a job.

* Knows how to cut a deal.

From this you can see that the focal point of a resume must be to respond to the needs and expectations of the employer. The job seeker’s personal information and their work history are of secondary importance.

This is what we mean by an extreme alternative resume. It’s “extreme” because it must be a dramatic departure from the old-fashioned backward-looking resume. It’s “alternative” because it represents a whole new way of representing yourself.

So to meet the expectations of an employer, here’s what you have to know to prepare your extreme alternative resume:

1. Resumes are initially scanned (not closely read) in less than 50 seconds. Something about you either attracts attention in that timeframe or your resume is trashed.

2. Your resume must have an attention-grabbing headline . . . a quick summation of what you have to offer.

3. Do NOT write some self-serving objective statement. An employer could care less what you want to get out of this for your self. He/she is interested exclusively in what you can do to make the bottom line look better.

4. DO write a short summary statement saying very directly what assets, capabilities and strengths you bring to the table that can make a difference to the organization you’re interested in.

5. Keep your resume brief and imp actual. One page is best. But never more than two pages. No long-winded recitation of your past accomplishments. Employers want to know how your achievements can make a difference to their needs. So tell them . . . and use quantifiable results to do it.

If you rely on the old-fashioned methods of finding a job, you’ll be disappointed. While it’s true that you won’t be hired exclusively on the basis of a resume, on those occasions where it’s important to have a resume, you want to make sure you use an extreme alternative resume!
