How To Write A Resume To Guide The Rest Of Your Career

It’s no secret that I wrote a book.

The reason is that despite all the resources out there on resume writing, nobody has made the connection between how to write a resume and how to get the job you love.

That is what 33 Tools To Remake Your Career is about.

Crafting a CV is one small part of job hunting. Though it is crucial, there are so many moving parts to your career including:

  • Education you pursue
  • Projects you accept or decline
  • Job titles
  • Needs of your employer
  • Your personal needs

We don’t really acknowledge it but the reality is balancing all these things something falls through the cracks.

It’s not that people aren’t happy with their resume. It’s that they are not happy with their career.

Resume Writing Is All About the Gabriel Summary

For most of us, resume writing is so painful we want to hire someone else.

But, it doesn’t have to be.

The reality is that a well-written resume can not only help you get the job you want, it can help you guide your career, identify opportunities for growth and earn more money.

That’s right: earn more money!

Why? Because most people screw up writing a good career summary.

resume writing

The summary is the most important part of resume writing. You know this if you have ever walked into an interview and the person doing the interview said any of the following:

  • I haven’t had a chance to read your CV.
  • I just found out about today’s interview.
  • Tell me about yourself.

If you have ever been in a position of hiring you understand why this happens. Someone shoves a piece of paper in front of you and says the candidate is ready for you in the conference room. You do your best to skim and get the gist of what the candidate is about. You vaguely remember the job description published months ago. And you’r rushing to think up some questions.

If you carefully tailored your summary then you have a leg up on the interviewer. This is because there are 9 key elements to include in your resume and they all relate to the job description.

This type of summary is called a Gabriel Summary and it literally calls out how you are a perfect fit for the position.

Learning how to write a Gabriel Summary is actually quite easy. But, there are 32 other tools that will augment your newfound writing abilities. So, to learn how to write a Gabriel Summary use Amazon’s Look Inside feature on my book.

Resume Writing & Resume Writers

Writers can help you with parts of your resume writing. My experience is that the summaries that they write undermine the candidate.

Plus, the reality is that you probably can’t afford to pay them for their services on every application you submit. This is why learning how to write a good summary is so important.

As you will learn in the book, people skim, they don’t read. So, rely on your writer to craft a compelling career history and body text. Learn how to write a strong summary that tell the hiring manager exactly why you are the best candidate for the job.

If your summary is good enough, they won’t even read the rest of your CV. Best of all, when they ask you to “tell me about yourself” you will already have a response prepared.
