How to make a resume work for you.

By Jim Reed (CEO Endeavor Enterprises)

I see several thousand resumes a year and when I was recently asked by Career Boost Online, How to make a Resume work. I wrote down a few tips for job seekers that I always look for when reading resumes or considering candidates.

Neatness, while it might sound simple - many people submit dirty, ripped or old paperwork that simply gets them an instant failure in my book. I usually get angry with the HR department for even handing me such bad CV's.

Color. Many resumes are black and white, when I see a slight dash of color, this really pulls me in and makes me read the resume more. Certainly helps the candidate get a better chance of proceeding in the job elimination process.

Concise. Folks that have a resume or CV that is 10 pages long will fail. Even if you have suitable experience and a good fit for the job - if you give me war and peace - I will give you a piece of crap back in the mail. Sorry it doesn't work.

Smart wording. When a candidate for a job writes positive words and generally sounds upbeat in their cover letter or their resume, I will always root for them and give them a shot at the interview rounds. This is a biggy. Most companies want winners for employees, finding them is hard - when we see skills like this is really boosts your chances of securing a long term job.

Extra mile. By visiting me or door knocking during the process I generally will sift through the pile and find that persons CV. Some people frown on this, but I find it promising that someone will go the extra mile to visit and discuss an application for job in person. Don't get too push or I will call security!

Good Luck. I hope these tips on getting an interview help, so now there is no excuse, you should know how to make a resume work.

Roulette Systems

There are more gambling systems devised to beat the roulette wheel than any other game.

Strong roulette strategies WILL give you an edge, but don't expect to systematically play your way to riches off the casinos. For one thing, everything considered, it is a very difficult task. For another thing, it's unlikely that the casinos will sit back and do nothing about it.

Simply aiming to win to stay ahead at all times as a primary objective, even by a small margin, is a more realistic goal and a great achievement.

In a game of chance using a system is no guarantee of winning, but a well devised roulette system can streamline your losses, control your winnings and have a strategy that will give you an opportunity to be a winner.

Free Roulette systems that have a strategy to win most of the time but lose out overall, are not winning systems. A winning system is one with a strategy to make you win overall and keep you ahead at all times.
