If you’re reading this book, you’re most likely one of tens of thousands of people who are considering a career change—either a change in position or a change in the industry. You might have made this decision because of any one of the following reasons:
• Your current industry has been hard hit by the recent economic recession.
• The position that you currently hold has been eliminated in your company and also in many similar companies.
• You’re bored in your current position and ready for a change.
• You want to pursue your true passion as your new career.
• Your personal situation has changed and you’re now able to pursue a career of real interest to you.
• You’re relocating and need to explore new opportunities in your new geographic area.
• You want greater opportunities for increased compensation and advancement.
• You’re frustrated and ready for a change.
• You’re tired of all the responsibilities of your career and ready to downsize.
These are just a few of the reasons you might be considering a career change. There are many other reasons, and you’ll find resumes in this book that are relevant to them all.
Now, here’s the good news: You’ve selected a great time to make a career change! Despite the economic concerns that we are facing, believe it or not, it’s a great time to look for a new job or a new career. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor, the employment outlook is optimistic. Consider these findings:
• Total U.S. employment is projected to increase by 15 per cent between 2000 and 2010.
• Service-producing industries will continue to be the dominant employment generator, adding more than 20 million jobs by 2010.
• Goods-producing industries will also experience gains in employment,
although not as significant as those in the service sector.
In chapter 1, you can read more interesting statistics, all of which will reinforce the fact that you’ve made the right decision to launch your search campaign today. To take advantage of all of these opportunities, you must first develop a powerful, performance-based resume. To be a successful job seeker, you must know how to communicate your qualifications in a strong and effective written presentation.
Sure, it’s important to let employers know essential details, but a resume is more than just your job history and academic credentials. A winning resume is a concise yet comprehensive document that gives you a competitive edge in the job market.
Creating such a powerful document is what this book is all about.
We’ll explore the changes in resume presentation that have arisen over the past decade. In the past, resumes were almost always printed on paper and mailed. Today, e-mail has become the chosen method for resume distribution in many industries and professions. In turn, many of the traditional methods for “typing” and presenting resumes have changed dramatically. This book will instruct you in the methods for preparing resumes for e-mail, scanning, and Web site posting, as well as the traditional printed resume.
By using Expert Resumes for Career Changers as your professional guide, you will succeed in developing a powerful and effective resume that opens doors, gets interviews, and helps you land your next great opportunity!
