Make the Sale

I just love reading all the techniques and tools that marketing requires to get your reader by the nose and pull them in. Advertise here, make the sale. Show this profit margin, make the sale. Hire this gru, make the sale. Technically overstate but only slightly, make the sale. Why can't I just point out the truth that a powerful resume will get you an interview and have that be enough? Why? Because chances are you have never heard of The Resourcer, have no idea that we write and create powerful professional resumes from start to finish, help you search career markets, locate jobs, apply, and even prep you for the interview. Chances are you have never heard about us because, I don't buy into the marketing scheme of: Make the sale.

The rather ironic point in all of this leans directly towards the fact that I am generating a marketing scheme and plan for you. Taking your skills and abilities, putting them on paper, establishing a market research package that will help you succeed in certain job areas is exactly what The Resourcer does so that you can, Make the Sale. Ironic?

"It takes Money to Make Money"

Are you in the position you want to be in? As Hollywood has poignantly pointed out there are many that will purse the ultimate dream job at the cost of others or by their own methods to slave away and sacrifice. Still, what Hollywood does not show you are the basics. In movies it always appears that even in the fight/strife of life the Hollywood character gets the job and the success at the end.

After working with people, resources, and the fight for jobs there are a few points that stand out clearly. There is not enough realization that a strong resume can help you move forward. Visit any employment agency, recruiting firm, or professional consultant company and they will tell you. Your resume is not just an option it is a necessity.

It is clear that sometimes we need to walk the trial and error road. Let's face it if something costs money and it appears to be less than important why bother?

Surely you have heard the phrase, "It takes money to make money." Most business owners will tell you that in order to see the outcomes that they have today, they had to invest in their company. You are your own sales manager. How well can you sell yourself? Your resume is your first impression.

Do you need Professional Affiliations?

Are affiliations necessary on your resume? There is a great deal of debate concerning the importance of affiliations on your resume. Should you join one? Which one? How many? Does it really help you stand out? The answer to these questions are both yes and no.

Affiliations are good in the sense that they show your commitment to your career of choice. Being a part of group can help you to locate work, create a peer community, and help you to find continuing measure to enhance and refine your skill set. Yet, most of these groups require payment and dues. The costs are sometimes more than the benefits. Plus, your resume might not have room for added extra's such as affiliations. That is when a good resume writer will weigh the benefits and importance of your affiliations.

Start by asking yourself: Is it really necessary? After 12 years of creating professional resumes we can attest to the value of professional affiliations. Most companies want to see that you are invested in your career of choice enough to join the "group." In addition, many of these affiliations help you to find work, educational courses that can advance your skills, and keep you current in the news of what is happening in your field. Therefore, we highlight recommend that you invest the "due" money and join at least one professional affiliation.

Here are a few Examples:
Teachers Associations of CA
SHRM
NASW
National Association of Realtors
NAPEW
NAHB
