Resume' edit service_for free...

[darren1010]

Hi,
Đang nghĩ làm cách nào để giúp các bạn apply trong năm nay. (Giờ đang bận quá nên không thể edit essays nổi. Chắc phải đợi later quá). Nếu bạn đã take GMAT rồi, và in the application process, mình có thể giúp bạn edit resume' - một trong những tiêu chuẩn quan trọng để apply cho B-school. (và dĩ nhiên là free, in case you're wondering)
Mình sẽ cố gắng tranh thủ cuối tuần làm giúp các bạn, cố gắng respond cho bạn trong vòng một tuần (nhưng nếu mình có test hay bận quá thì các bạn cố gắng kiên nhẫn nhé).
một điều cần lưu ý, vì thời gian của mình cũng có hạn, nên mình chỉ góp ý trên resume' đã tương đối hoàn chỉnh của bạn. Mình không format lại hoặc sửa một cái resume' đầy lỗi chính tả đâu nhé. Cái mình có thể (và sẽ cố gắng) giúp bạn là làm cho cái resume' của bạn nổi bật hơn, nhấn đến những yếu tố quan trọng của an application resume'.
(nhấn mạnh là application resume' bạn chỉ nên làm trên một trang giấy thôi. Không phải bắt buộc ở một số trường, nhưng nó là norm ở đa số)
Nếu cần thì bạn gửi PM cho mình.
Good luck with all the applications...

Focus and be concise. Most top schools have that requirement. You have to do that anyway.

Does My Resume Stink?
By Alesia Benedict

Welcome back to one of our favorite features! Just send us your resume to be entered in our "Does My Resume Stink" contest. We'll pick one out of the hopper and have a professional resume writer give you a free rewrite. Then, we'll publish the winner's "before" and "after" in our newsletter, along with the writer's expert commentary.

Here are this month's: before...and... after by Alesia Benedict. Before we get into Alesia's comments, I'll also remind you that you can always request resume help from Alesia and her colleagues.

Now, Alesia's analysis of Tony's resume:

The first issue I tackled in Tony's original resume was the summary. Because much of Tony's background was listed in block paragraph form, the strong impact his impressive background should have made was lost on the reader. In his revised resume, I reformatted his summary to capture the reader's attention, and used specific language as a starting point in building Tony's branded message to the reader.

Call Out Your Strengths

Next, I added a "core section" where I placed strong keywords that recruiters often use when placing searches for a candidate of Tony's caliber. We know from polls and studies that the reader does not always read the resume in order, so a good strategy is to draw the reader's eye down into the resume. Creating a keyword-rich core section also allows the reader to quickly identify Tony's key areas of strength. And, as an added convenience for Tony, it provides a quick way to add/change keywords if he wishes to tweak something for a particular job listing.

Avoid the Laundry List

In Tony's original resume, he chose to present his entire "Professional Experience" section in bulleted format. As a former recruiter, I know that a "laundry list" of bullets fails to hold the attention of the reader because the eye does not focus on any one item. Nothing stands out. So, I reformatted this section and reserved bullets only for his achievements, so as to place an emphasis on them. This tactic gives the reader a more effective navigational tool that allows him/her to quickly discern between achievements and job functions. It also helps to draw the reader's eye further into the resume, as the reader will focus next on bulleted items - now to Tony's advantage since the bullets truly showcase his achievements.

Focus on You

A resume is intended to sell you, right? It may sound obvious, but in Tony's original resume, he often shifted the focus from himself to the companies at which he worked. Team work is essential, but the goal of this resume is to market Tony -- not past employers and companies. I've frequently seen this error as job seekers are typically uncomfortable with the "me" focus. Most folks are much more comfortable being humble. And, while that approach is admirable, the job search is a unique time when the focus should truly be on you -- the job seeker. So, in Tony's new resume, I shifted the focus to Tony and his specific experiences.

Put In All the Stops

Tony neglected to utilize what we call "stop lights" throughout the resume -- use of numerical symbols (3, 4, 7, 9) vs. spelling out the numbers (three, four, seven, nine). While proper grammar teaches us to spell out numbers under 10, a resume is not strict, prose writing, so symbols are a better choice. The eye is drawn to -- and stops on -- numbers within a sea of words (hence the term "stop lights").

Get Screened-In

Last, I removed the dates in his "Education" section in order to curb any potential age discrimination issues. Many recruiters and employers will use dates to screen out candidates, and we want to make sure Tony has the opportunity to land interviews and be given the chance to prove himself as a great asset to future employers.

Ten Tips for Mastering the Phone Interview
By Barbara Safani

Phone interviews are becoming more and more common as companies gain greater access to candidates and as more recruiters and hiring managers work from virtual office locations. On the positive side, with a phone interview you don't have to worry about having your suit pressed, and you can have your notes right in front of you. On the flip side, it's much more difficult to establish rapport and get a read on the hiring manager during a phone conversation.

Below are 10 tips to get the most out of your phone interviews.

Schedule the meeting during a time when you won't be distracted.
A phone interview should be scheduled like any other interview. At the designated appointment time, be sure the dog is in the backyard and someone else is watching the kids. Don't add additional hassle to an already stressful situation. If a recruiter or hiring manager calls you without advance notice and wants to interview you on the spot, use caution. If the interview "conditions" are not optimal at the time of the call, it's best to tell the interviewer that you are very interested in the position, but need to schedule another time to have a conversation. That time can be as soon as ten minutes later if that works for you -- just make sure that you can take the call without being distracted.

Conduct interviews from a landline.
Cell phones are a boon to modern communication, but the quality is still not the same as that from a land line. The last thing you want to do is frustrate the recruiter or hiring manager with a bad connection. Using a cell phone means you have a greater chance of getting distracted by multi-tasking when your attention should be completely focused on the interview. A landline forces you to stay in a relatively stationary locale. Plan your interview from a reliable phone line.

Create an office space.
Dedicate an area as your office. This area could be as simple as a card table with a phone and your documents. Conduct your interviews from your "office". Being seated at a desk or table allows you to create an environment similar to an in-person interview.

Put a mirror in front of you.
This helps you focus, and it anchors your conversation to the visual representation of a person. Monitoring your facial expressions helps you see if you are communicating your enthusiasm to the recruiter.

Have a glass of water nearby.
If your throat is dry or you get a tickle you can take care of it before it turns into a cough and disrupts the flow of the interview.

Have your notes in front of you.
A phone interview is like an open book test. You can have your research about the company and answers to potential interview questions right in front of you. Try organizing your key information on colored index cards by category so you're not fumbling through papers in the middle of the interview.

Vary your voice.
Since the other person can't see you, it's critical that you vary the tone and cadence of your voice to communicate interest and develop rapport.

Use pauses effectively.
Pauses in an interview situation are always difficult, and they can be especially awkward during a phone interview since you can't judge what the interviewer is thinking by their body language. Rather than wondering what the person on the other end of the line is doing (or even if they're still there!) use the silence to ask a question. For example, if the interviewer has just asked you about your strengths and your response is met with silence, make that an opportunity to ask a question like "What are the key strengths of your ideal candidate?" This tactic both takes care of the silence and allows you to learn more about the position.

Don't multi-task.
We have grown so accustomed to multi-tasking; however, as mentioned in tip #2, it can be counterproductive during a phone interview. Don't check your email or stick a casserole in the oven while you are engaged in a phone interview. Act the same way you would for an in-office interview, and maintain your focus.

Practice.
Record some of your answers to prospective interview questions. Play them back and critique yourself. Are you easy to understand? Are you talking too fast? Is your presentation riddled with long pauses and "ums?" Do you communicate interest and enthusiasm? If necessary, rework your answers and your overall presentation.
