With his commitment in assisting professionals land their dream jobs, Bob Gerberg emphasizes the importance of grabbing the attention of employers and setting a first good impression.

Gerberg highlights the following guidelines when composing one’s resume:

1. Provide a 20-second summary specifying one’s specialties and stating how one can contribute to the company.
2. Pre-sell oneself by highlighting achievements with previous companies or trainings that are related to the position aspired.
3. Use a "scanning ready" format. Employers are faced with dozens of applications. Utilizing a format that is easy on the eye is already a first step at being read.
4. Project a first-class image. This helps create a strong resume, which is vital because the resume is the first step in creating a good impact and earning the opportunity of meeting the employer.
