Then you need to show and convince your next hire that you are serious about him joining your team.In March, we received the following candidate’s response to two high level interviews. The candidate would potentially earn over $100,000 in base salary. As a regional salesperson, the candidate would potentially add millions in new revenue per year to the company. We edited his response. Needless to say, the first company did not convince this very capable salesperson that they wanted him, the second one did.“Dave, the PROCESS speaks volumes about the company.

RESUME WRITING TIPS AND STRATEGIES
Here are 10 valuable tips for anyone writing their own resume, or who is having someone else write one for them. These tips and strategies are an abridged version of what is contained in my new eBook, "Instant Home Writing Kit".
1. Keep It Focused and Businesslike
A resume should be specific and all business. Don't try to be too smart or too cute. After all, you are asking an employer to invest significant time and money by choosing you over many other similarly qualified people. Employers mainly want to know whether you are appropriately qualified and experienced, and if you have the ability to "deliver the goods."
2. More Than Two Pages Is Too Much
For students, recent graduates, or people with just a few years of experience, try to keep your resume to one page, two as an absolute maximum. Even a resume for someone with 20 years or more of extensive working experience, should not exceed three pages. In some cases, one or two "optional" pages can be referred to as "available upon request." These would be such optional annexes as a list of references or an inventory of recent projects and/or publications.
3. Get The Words and Punctuation Right
Make sure the grammar, spelling, and punctuation in your resume are perfect. Any obvious mistakes will hurt your credibility. Also, be sure to keep the language clear and simple. If you draft it yourself, have someone with excellent writing skills do an editorial review and a careful proofread of it. If a professional prepares it for you, such reviews are the responsibility of the resume preparation firm. Use an accepted English language "style guide" if you want to be sure of the finer points of word usage, punctuation, capitalization,

Like company names, names for products and services may express a benefit to customers or a personality trait. More than with companies, however, product and service names must be strongly competitive.Use market research to focus on qualities that motivate sales or counteract buyer resistance, as evident in names such as Ziploc, FunSaver, Energizer and Nice 'n Easy.Also, know the competition thoroughly so your name communicates an advantage others do not, or expresses the same advantage even more compellingly. Decide on a word or phrase that identifies your product or service, such as "health snack" or "payroll service," and make sure the names you generate sound right with these identifiers.Sometimes a name is successful bec

In 2006 sulfur will no longer be in diesel fuel as per legislation signed into law by President Clinton. The EPA laws will soon be effective. So you want to take the Sulfur out of Diesel Fuel? Great, but not now; we need to phase this in. Perhaps require in two years that every truck manufactured not need it, and then eliminate the fuel in six years by raising the cost slowly as trucking companies trade in old units and retrofit those before re-sold. By that time we will all be looking into other technologies anyway. Slowing down the dollar and having a weak dollar may seem like the answer to improve the impending trade deficit, but at what cost?Why should we give back all of our economic expansion because other currencies and countries cannot leg
4. Read Between The Lines
Customize the resume to match the stated requirements of the job that you are applying for, without being misleading. Review and analyze the job advertisement carefully. Look for and itemize the key qualifications, skills, and abilities the employer is seeking. Then identify certain key words that are usually repeated in such ads. Make sure that the wording and sequence of points in your resume reflect and address these "corporate terminologies" and "code words" as much as possible. When possible, study the company's annual report and Web site, and weave the themes and terms found there into your resume and cover letter.
5. Make Sure It Looks Good
Use a crisp, clean, simple presentation format for a professional looking resume. Just a bit of simple line work and/or shading, done with standard word processing software will do the trick. If you don't have the aptitude for this, there is most likely someone among your friends or in your office who can help you achieve a professional presentation. If not, seek professional advice. It won't cost much for a good simple layout, but it will make a world of difference to the product.
6. Show What You Can Do Today
Focus, first and foremost, on your recent experience that is most relevant to the position at hand. Less relevant and/or dated experience should be either eliminated or summarized in brief point form near the end of your resume. When reviewing your resume information, a prospective employer wants to know what you are doing now, what you have d
