If you’ve been posting your resume around the web to places like Hot Resume, Beyond and Job.com and not had any employer interest. It’s time for an ‘Extreme Resume Makeover’. If you created the resume from scratch, lets step it up at least one notch and try some free trial resume software. While using resume software won’t change your work history, it often gives you many excellent templates to follow to build an eye catching resume. If you think the content itself could use some work try one of the resume writing or editing services like resume edge or e-resume. Sometimes just getting a professional to review and critique your resume can help.

Now that you’ve updated your printed resume and modified your posted resumes. If you are still not getting the attention you need to land the job you want… its time to conduct a little resume guerrilla marketing. Rather than waiting for human resource managers or employment agencies to find your resume, get it into their hands. Today, most hiring managers don’t want to have resumes sent by mail. It’s simply to much for them to manage, for about $50, you can use a service like Resume Exposure or Resume Zapper to target and distribute your new resume in the format the decision makers prefer.

They’ve got the resume, you’ve gotten the call for an interview. Congratulations are not in order quite yet. Be sure to check into our Interview Tips section. The work of getting a job is just beginning.
