Your Résumé is Your Personal Marketing Tool

"You never get a second chance to make a good first impression." You've heard this expression many times, but never is it more true than with your résumé.

Your résumé is your most important personal marketing tool. It is your means -- most times your only means -- to getting that all-important job interview. It must speak volumes about you in a concise, organized manner, or it won't be read.

Your résumé is often the first contact you have with potential employers. You have only 30 seconds to capture their interest. Your résumé needs to say "notice me!"

It is important for you to project the right image in your career search. Your résumé must give you the competitive edge to open the doors to interviews.

How Your Unique Résumé Is Prepared

Writing a good résumé takes time. First, it must be determined what type of résumé to create: a chronological, a functional, or a combination résumé. The type of résumé chosen depends on your background and skills. Next to be decided is whether to do a bulleted résumé or a paragraph résumé (bulleted résumés are generally easier to read, but sometimes aren't quite enough) and how to phrase everything. The wording must be just right.

The format and choice of typefaces are then chosen. We strive to make each résumé we create unique. There are thousands of typefaces to choose from and several different layouts, so this takes time.

All these factors must come together to make you look as good as possible. Desktop Designs has the experience and know-how to do all this.
