Before rushing your resume to the latest requirement at Goodrich or InfoTech!

Job search is serious business. Do it with care and professional way. Remember the thing that HR's are trained professionals and they have seen 1000 times more resume that you have seen, so don't try to fool them with your resume. Be honest in but at the same time present yourself in positive light.


Being honest and introducing yourself in positive light is possible. All you need is to do is shift your focus from yourself to the recruiter. See the firm's point of view and present your true facts in terms of what they require or
need.


This is easier than you think. Just sit down and before rushing your email to the latest requirement at Goodrich or InfoTech! First and foremost see what it does, what are the latest news stories about it. Research the company and the
products and services it delivers. While doing that have a feel on where
your skills and knowledge fits for them.


You might not have the total knowledge or skills they require. Don't let this stop you. Concentrate on the skill that you can deliver the next day and highlight them in the resume. For the rest of the skills that you have but you need time to hone them, resolve in your mind that the next time a company with similar requirements comes, you will exactly fit the bill.


There is no perfect job or skills set that will exactly match you. Some will be always be lacking...


And always remember a good resume will not fetch you a job, it will just fetch you an interview... the rest will be the on the interview and that my friend begins from the things you have presented in the resume.
