Ed's Article: "Do You Want a Standout Resume?"
What is considered a an effective resume? An effective resume is a hard copy or an electronic document whose primary purpose is to win the approval of a potential hiring manager who has considered you a job candidate qualified to compete for a position opening. Your resume must be planned and presented in a way to clearly persuade a job recruiter to further investigate your stated and strongly implied potential strengths, related industry experience, proven value, training, education, abilities, potential growth, and best return on investment for the company.

Job Satisfaction Improves, But Turnover Poised To Rise
With surging job growth fueling increased voluntary turnover during the first half of 2006, a recent survey conducted by ExecuNet finds that while the number of disgruntled executives is shrinking, corporations can expect to continue struggling with retention.
According to the survey of 163 employed executives, 53% are not satisfied with their job — down from 67% in December 2005, and of those who are currently unhappy at work, 75% are planning to leave their company within the next six months.
Job satisfaction often improves during periods of economic expansion. However, the high percentage of unhappy executives who are actively looking for greener pastures presents a serious problem for companies in all industries.
The most common reasons why employed executives are not happy with their current jobs include:
1. Limited opportunity for advancement (18%);
2. Lack of challenge or personal growth (16%);
3. Unfavorable company prospects (12%);
4. Compensation (11%); and 5. Poor corporate culture (10%).
It is evident that bigger paychecks are not a panacea for voluntary turnover. In an age when the average executive tenure is less than four years, corporations that fail to provide room for the development and growth of their best talent will be constantly battling turnover.
