I just noticed an article on LinkedIn with the title, ”You have 10 seconds to catch a hiring manager’s attention with your resume. Is yours good enough to stand out and get noticed? Email info@yourjobAD.com or visit our LinkedIn page!” The article was posted in the Purdue Alumni group on LinkedIn.
I can’t believe people still think like this! Having an attention-grabbing resume is a grossly over-crowded strategy. Wouldn’t it be better to break out of the classic resume game and create your own rules? Wouldn’t THAT catch Mr. Manager’s attention? Although, I’m not a hiring manager (yet). Maybe Mr. Manager is looking for the do-the-job-the-way-we-tell-you-too-don’t-ask-questions-or-challenge-the-status-quo type.
