Instagram More Business Than Personal?

by Donny Grover

Is your Instagram more business than personal? If so, we suggest that you convert it over to a business account. In this very transparent social media age, everything is your resume. Anything were a business contact or potential employer sees you is a chance to promote yourself.

Essentially, we are saying that your Instagram is now your resume.. or part of it. Here is what we suggest, have two accounts. Your current account has probably been littered with too many business contacts. That is fine, it happens to all of us, just roll with it.

Boostlikes has a great article with details on how to convert your personal account over to a business account, check it out here: http://boostlikes.com/blog/2016/11/convert-instagram-business-profle

We are not trying to steal away your fun, after converting your current account over to a business account, go ahead and create another account and make sure to keep it tight so you don’t have business contacts littering it. This are a few great things about this, first off, you don’t have to be that weird person who acts like they don’t have instagram when they are at a business event. Yes, most people under 40 have an account, don’t be one of those weirdos who lies about it because you don’t want to give out their handle.

Have your “business account” give that out, Instagram is great on switching between accounts so you will have a seamless experience. Also, since you have this dedicated business account you can use it as a tool to grow your business clout. Go ahead start liking and following various businesses and contacts, put your business accomplishments on here and build a little dossier of an experienced business executive.

Using Resume Keywords

by Donny Grover

Using resume keywords is an important strategy for your resume.

Many employers use database technology to store and search the resumes that are sent to them by potential employees. Employers and recruiters search these databases using industry-specific keywords. Keywords are nouns and phrases that highlight technical and professional areas of expertise, industry-related jargon, achievements, projects, task forces, job titles, etc.

IF your resume does not contain at least some of the keywords that the employer is using, then your resume will be skipped by the computer, even if you have all of the experience and skills required by the job.

Multiple Pages on your Paper Resume

by Donny Grover

Going past a one page resume

Ok, so we are going to kill two myths with one stone here. First off, believe it or not, we at Dynamic Web Resume do still believe in having a paper resume. Your Web Resume and paper resume should work together. A paper resume is so traditional and is the current norm so you cannot 100% trade your old paper resume in for your shiny new Dynamic Web Resume.

The second myth has to do with the length of your paper resume. People always say keep it short and all on one page. I get resumes in everyday where people go down to 8 point font to try and fit everything into one page. Do you really want to make a potential employer squint their old eyes trying to read your resume?

The purpose of a resume (along with your cover letter) is to get an interview.

Put Volunteer Work on Your Resume

When you are looking for a job, your resume gets your foot in the door. It represents you to a potential employer and you want it to stand out from the resumes of the other applicants. One way to capture the interest of an employer is to show that you are an involved citizen — someone who works to make the community a better place to live. In other words, make sure your volunteer work appears on your resume.

Writing a Cover Letter for a Web Resume

by Donny Grover

Writing a cover letter for a web resume is a little different than for a paper resume. First off, you have to understand the scope of readers you will have on your web resume. More people will be seeing your web resume so you have to write your cover letter a little more generalized. You still should focus on your acheivements and quantifying your experience. But, when it comes to defining your career goals and objectives you must leave a lot for the reader to fill-in. If your too specific on the job you desire then you may elimate yourself from those random job offers that may steer you in another direction. Many Dynamic Web Resume customers contact us with a story of how they recieved a job offer from a random company who was searching for a new employee!

Web Resume Advice: Update and Revise

by Donny Grover

web resume advice
Keeping your web resume up to date makes you climb the latter instead of doing the horizontal shuffle. In the U.S. today we are experiencing a ridiculous 9.5% unemployment rate. The employment turnover these days is out of control. College educated people are now accepting jobs managing McDonald’s. So, when they get offered your job for half the price they are going to take it and your back in the applicant pool with an upsetting severance package.

A deeper look into the statistics of employment will show you how important it is to keep an up to date resume.
