Have you been thrown for a loop job-wise because of the recent economic downturn? Up until recently, it has been an employees' market, and employers have often been frustrated in their efforts to find suitable personnel to fill vacancies.  The tables have been turned, and at every level, uncertainty about on-going or long term security abounds. 

Take the case of Betty, a high flying executive with a large construction company, which suddenly went into receivership.  Her 6 figure salary disappeared, but she was not ready or able to retire. It had been a long time since she had had to explore alternative career options let alone apply for a job and go through the selection processes including several interviews. She used to be the one doing the interviews. What options could she access that would see her in the front running for the position of her choice?

 Perhaps you are an executive  with a similar story. Perhaps your position has been eliminated and you have suddenly found yourself to be redundant. Not a nice feeling!  Even the  word makes you think you have reached your use by date!  Panic might be another feeling you identify with more than you would like.  On the other hand, you could well find yourself taking stock, working out where you want to go in life and what you might do next.  Some are able to enjoy the luxury of some well earned time out, but what happens if you are not in that position?  What if you are like Betty and need something suitable quickly.   

If, as an executive or senior manager, you need to launch yourself straight into the job market, are you ready?  Is your Resume likely to represent you well in your job search, or will your paperwork end up in the 'reject' pile because you have not kept it up to date? If you want that large salary package in the current market, what would your Resume have to communicate to a prospective employer, apart from the actual words on the page? Are you confident of your interviewing skills? How long is it since you have actually updated your Resume? Do you know what is currently expected in job applications, or are you just adding bits to a resume you did years ago, hoping for the best?  Do you know how to market yourself beyond simply submitting resumes in response to Newspaper advertisements? What else might there be to learn to leverage yourself successfully?

Cutting edge applications may not have seemed so important in the past. This has changed. Your Resume needs to be as good as it possibly can be to get you to the interview stage and into your career of choice. You can access high level help to assist you in this.
