Thanks Kathleen. Getting job interview invitations is a battle in itself because many talented professionals are vying for the same position. It’s important to be noticed at the filtering stage and move to the interview where we have the opportunity to showcase ourselves as the right and best person for the job.

A good idea, Sarit. It could be a good test for them to articulate why they are a candidate worth your time via their objective/career statement as well as save you time by filtering out the right resumes for you to look at and invite the candidates for interviews.

Thanks Marquita. Getting the advice to the right people is good karma all around.

Thanks on both counts Millen. Let’s help your friends and family members differentiate their CVs from the rest of the competition with a few tweaks.

My pleasure, Beverley. Having a master resume with both objective and summary as well as the career statement/summary will enable you to use the right version at the appropriate time. What I love about the career summary is it’s ability to help us realize how much we have achieved and provides motivation to achieve more.

Thank you Susan. If the advice in the post helps your ‘kids’ rise above the job searchers ‘noise’, my mission will be accomplished.
