Resume Writing When Applying For Marketing Jobs

Resume Writing When Applying For Marketing JobsWith the job market looks like it's heading for a crash it might be time to think about what you can do about your resume writing when applying for marketing jobs. When I was working in a law firm, I often had resumes come in from marketing professionals that were extremely sloppy, listing irrelevant qualifications, and while they did generate some leads there were many more that never resulted in interviews or calls back to the law firm.In my experience my clients were doing things right when applying for jobs with this law firm and they had a very professional resume. They made sure their resumes were well formatted, had proper spacing and grammar, and had all the necessary key elements such as skills, education, experience, education, etc. It seemed that even the resume writing business was not as 'clean' as many in the industry thought.Since so many folks were writing professional resumes for law firms and jobs, it looked like we wer e losing them and their resumes were being sent to the trash can. Why did they get 'lost' in the maze of resumes, emails, and informational emails that come from clients? Well, it appeared that too many in the law firm were making poor evaluations and assumptions based on the resumes they were reviewing, as they only saw the basics. After all, they were hired for their ability to solve a problem and that was all they saw.So the next step was to go back through all the resumes and determine which ones needed to be modified. Of course, you wouldn't want to just send your best resume to every single job opening you saw.Instead you would send one to each person and allow them an opportunity to improve their resume, which gave them the chance to show that they really were up to the task, or in fact had more experience, skills, etc. than your resume gave them credit for. I know that some jobs can be overwhelming and this kind of personalizing service was certainly not required.But, what i f you have the perfect job with the perfect salary? Well, it's quite possible that you didn't ask for the job in the first place and it doesn't matter what position you are applying for, it just takes the right timing and someone who want to work for you. The ideal is to find someone who wants the same thing that you want but that doesn't work at your current company.We have many people who are asking for a job in my department because they need someone who is strong in the legal market. They are looking for someone with great communication skills, so that they can connect with their client through emails and their emails will look great. They are looking for someone who can create a winning email marketing campaign that will bring in leads and make them seem like they have a good chance of getting the job done. I have even heard of people who are looking for a marketing rep in our organization, so that they can get better results from their marketing campaigns.Now if you're going t o apply for marketing jobs, you should at least be up to speed with the requirements. So if you don't think you can get better results, then think again, as you may be missing the boat. Please consider all this and consider all the hiring that goes on in your industry as you start out as a marketing professional!
