Bob Gerberg and the importance of the resume

Bob Gerberg is a career expert whose company, American Jobs Network, specializes in resume writing. Several other career experts offer this service, which is quickly becoming a necessity for the unemployed, especially to those who are clueless about writing a captivating resume. While it sounds easy, writing a resume is nothing like casual writing. It is, first and foremost, a tool for applicants to use in order to land a job. With this in mind, the resume must achieve the goal of capturing a potential employer’s attention.

Nowadays, people are advised to steer clear of the old writing style for resumes that involved indentations, which prevents applicants from fully utilizing the first page of their resumes.
Bob Gerberg suggests considering the following pointers in resume-writing:

• It must only be one page long.


• Secondary and tertiary job options can be helpful in case an applicant doesn’t get considered for his primary choice.


• Relevant keywords listed right under the job titles an applicant prefers are important, particularly for scanning or skimming purposes.


• Target job objectives and position must be included.


• The resume must have a clean layout and include a presentable photo of the applicant.
