Who are you?
Posted by ayeshawrites4u on August 6, 2008
When writing your resume, always ask, “Who am I?” When you know who you are, you can write a resume that will be unique from every other employee that is sending out templated resumes or who have just copied resume samples from the Internet. You need to stand out from the crowd – that is if you want to shorten your job search time and actually get called in for interviews.
The key is to be different. Look at it from the point of view of employers. They read over thousands of resumes looking for only one applicant for one position. So if they’re reading the same resume styles with the same overused terms and words, then those standard resumes will stay in the larger group of uninterviewed, non-hired employees.
So do you want to follow the crowd? Or do you dare to be different and trust that you have unique qualities that should stand out in a professional resume?
If you have more questions, you know where to find me.
Until then…good luck with your job search.

Hi, great content here. Changing the colour of paper to stand out is a new thing too.
