The Successful Resume

Have you ever wonder if your resume is "the perfect resume"? Want to find out?Ask your interviewers. I had quite a few interviews and when they said: "Do you have any questions?", I asked "What did you like about my candidature?". The first thing they pointed out was my resume. Thanks to Henri Kaufman, who advice me that the successful resume should have the logos of the company I've worked for. Why? Because those logos represent who you are, and you are those logos. Recruiters will remember you and your resume because you are giving a "brand", your professional experience are those logos. You must remember that your resume isn't the only thing you are working on... your cover letter also plays an important role. However if you do not think your cover letter is a high-quality one, work on your resume. Your resume will tell others why you are qualify for the position. In my experience, I could say that have worked, Sandra(*), the recruiter, knew who I was because of my "brand", I didn't have to say my name (I also added my photo to my resume). She had linked my logos to my face and she knew me... this shows how logos (symbol, insignia, badge) make your resume a remarkable one.
