What's the difference between a good résumé and a great résumé

Gotta love this post by Bill Vick over at Employment Digest. If you want to know how to elevate your resume to a new level, this will give you a leg up on the competition.

Here are 2 quotes worth mentioning.

A good resume is a glorified application.

A great resume is a marketing brochure. A great resume communicates a compelling reason for the prospective employer to need and want your services. Great resumes extract the relevant accomplishments from your past experiences and highlight them. This prompts the interviewer to ask about them with the future in mind. Great resumes also pave the way for great interviews. A well-crafted resume will prompt the interviewer to target specific areas that are most relevant to the open position.
