Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 9:34 pm
1. A job you like.
There is a position of salesman in Decathlon in Zaragoza. I love sports and I like very much the job of salesman so I think I am the person who goes to achieve this position in the largest sporting chain around the world.
2. A job you don't like.
I don' like a position as financial advisor because I don't understand finance, I don't like finance and I couldn't advise to other people what they must do with their money.
3. Job applications.
The resume is a tool with one specific purpose: to win an interview. If it does what the fantasy resume did, it works. If it doesn't, it isn't an effective resume. A resume is an advertisement, nothing more, nothing less.
A great resume doesn't just tell them what you have done but makes the same assertion that all good ads do: If you buy this product, you will get these specific, direct benefits. It presents you in the best light. It convinces the employer that you have what it takes to be successful in this new position or career.
It is so pleasing to the eye that the reader is enticed to pick it up and read it. It "whets the appetite," stimulates interest in meeting you and learning more about you. It inspires the prospective employer to pick up the phone and ask you to come in for an interview.
