According to Daniels, they are: 1. Let the reader know right away how and where you can contribute. 2. Always provide dates, or you'll arouse suspicion. 3. Don't graphically highlight anything that might rule you out, such as lack of education, gaps in work history, age, too many jobs, etc. 4. Use keywords associated with your target job that will be searched for by selection software, and noticed immediately by human readers. 5. Use a summary statement at the top which gives a concise picture of your achievements and best strengths. 6. When you highlight achievements, make sure they directly support your claim to excel in the type of job you're seeking, and don't highlight unrelated achievements. 7. If you have liabilities, figure out beforehand how you'll address them, and structure your resume to minimize them or tam them to an advantage. Following those rules, says Daniels, might not guarantee the best resume, but most times it will keep your resume from getting discarded in the first cut.

News Contact: Mary Richardson Identify Opportunities Using a Ripple EffectDenver, CO — June 19, 2006When you read about a company that is giving out signals that they may be hiring at an above average rate, use "ripple effect thinking." This is simply taking the time to think about all of the changes that may be occurring in the company up and down and across many functions. You may also get good leads from information about a firm and use it to find opportunities with their suppliers, customers, and even their competitors. Consider this example: You read that a firm is starting a division to sell a new kind of paper--one that is appropriate for packaging where health requirements necessitate certain papers. The obvious implications are that this company could very well need executives in sales. Since it's a new division, they may also have some need for people in production, logistics, and other disciplines as well. Firms with problems can also be of interest. Reorganizations involve shifts within executive ranks. They usually spell opportunity for those who are at the next level, and then changes ripple down through the firm. Problems often imply one of two things: executives haven't been performing well, or the company needs to develop new capabilities. If you are seeking a position as an executive, the CEO or a board member will often be the logical person to contact. HR executives will also be aware of the openings in a company. However, the SVP of your major function may be a better alternative. Keep in mind that many employers undergoing change are actually the smaller and faster growing firms, and they are far less constrained by hiring traditions. In the case of growth companies, most will be looking for individuals with the best natural ability and the enthusiasm, dedication, and willingness to work at an extraordinary pace. Assuming you have marketable talents, a message which makes clear how you can contribute is likely to stimulate interest. Using this process has been the key to success at all levels. Information is power, and that's what emerging opportunities provide.
