Help! I'm not getting any interviews.

When you're not getting any interviews, it's time to take a closer look at your resume. The job market is very competitive, so your resume needs to be as strong as it can be. When job seekers come to me for assistance, I almost always find that they have listed their basic job duty, but never showcased what they accomplished in that job duty. I can't stress this enough, and I say this in many of my blog posts--accomplishments set you apart from the competition. When you write down a job duty, ask yourself, "So what? Did I save money? If so, how much? Did I streamline procedures and boost productivity?"

There may be other reasons you're not being called for an interview: not enough experience, too much experience, an ineffective resume format, or a resume that does not use compelling language (or one that's lengthy and hard to read). If you feel you may be overqualified or if you feel your resume format may be ineffective and hard to read, then you may benefit from seeking the advice of professional resume writer. If you're a new grad and have a limited amount of experience, then stay tuned for an upcoming post on ways to gain more experience.
