Creating and Formatting YOUR Exceptional Resume
By Ford R. Myers
President of Career Potential, LLC
NEWS FLASH: It’s not that difficult to put together an excellent resume! There are hundreds of resume books out there, with at least 50 different ways to write resumes “the right way.”
But after almost 25 years of experience as an Executive Career Coach, I can tell you that there is a “secret code” for resumes. And either you know it, or you don’t.
If you DON’T know the code, you will:
- Read a lot of resume books and try 6-8 different formats for your resume.
- Listen to every person who offers their “expert opinion” on resumes (and make every editing change they suggest).
- Make the even more serious mistake of trying to create your own format.
- Never be sure if your resume was the disqualifying factor when you DON’T get the offer.

People are researching you! Do you know what they’re finding? More often than not, they’re checking-out your LinkedIn profile – which is your first impression and digital introduction to employers and recruiters. Does your LinkedIn profile showcase your skills and “sell you” as a polished professional?
You already know that LinkedIn plays a huge role in job search. You undoubtedly have received invitations from business contacts to connect on LinkedIn. And you probably took a few hours out of your busy life to create a LinkedIn profile. Perhaps you even sent-out some invitations for people to connect with you. Now you’re asking yourself, “Is that all there is?” and “How can I get more value and results out of LinkedIn?”
