I work as a recruiter in Boston for Hollister (www.hollisterstaff.com/?=451) and have seen thousands of resumes both good and bad. I love your advice about considering a resume as a persuasive marketing piece. Thanks for the great post! Resume writing can be very difficult, but I think you have broken it down very well.

Even those earning well into six figures. They'll go to the library and check out a couple of resume writing guides, and follow those templates, and think they'll make it through the ATS (applicant tracking systems). Just for fun, do a search on "resume writing" on amazon.com. Now, which of the over 5,000 resume writing books do you think can best address your needs? Having a great resume is the single, most important resource in a job search. For less than the cost of a good suit, you can have a professional resume written, and immediately improve your chances of getting an interview. In this job market, it's probably the best investment you can make. I’ve always been puzzled by the fact that most people refuse to invest in having their resumes professionally written.
