A Very Powerful Way to Make Your Resume “Interesting”



The “interesting” level of your resume will determine your number of interviews and the quality of your interview. Hence, the better and creative your resume is, the higher chances you will get the job.
Let’s keep it simple – Your main objective is to spark IMMEDIATE interest in the other party and the bad news is that you have only 2-3 seconds to accomplish this. Generally, with traditional method of resume making, it is almost impossible to do so.
Take a look at this resume that I have done many years ago and it was a REAL HIT when it was published at that time!
Take a look at http://www.sg-job.com/fanny.html (It looks somewhat dated, looked at the website, it was in 2006!)
I have transferred the resume of Fanny and inserted a few more interesting photos (Which are not PASSPORT sizes) to create an IMMEDIATE interest for any person who view this website.
What is really happening here?
Any employer who views this website will be interested to INVEST their time reading the whole page because it is VERY INTERESTING!
Yes, the keyword is “INTERESTING” and you need to make your resume so interesting that the potential employers are willing to forgo their precious time to read your resume. (Regardless if you are using a web based or traditional resume). Once you have created the interest, your chances of getting an interview will increased by many folds!
