Brad's Article: "Making Your Resume Stand Out"
You've dedicated a large amount of time and effort to your job, and you've accomplished a great deal. Your friends, family, and co-workers are aware of your initiative and hard work, but when it comes to landing a new job, you need to make sure you convey your credentials to the person making the hiring decision.
With the improved job market and rise in job recruiting and hiring, it's not easy to make your resume stand out. Competition can be fierce when hundreds, even thousands, of people apply for the same jobs. With so many candidates, the hiring manager or recruiting director may only spend about fifteen seconds reading your resume.

Recruiters' Confidence Stable in July: Despite a significant slowdown in GDP growth during the second quarter, recruiters do not expect companies to put the brakes on executive-level hiring in the second half of the year. In July, ExecuNet's Recruiters Confidence Index (RCI) inched higher amid strong demand for executive talent.
According to the survey of 114 executive recruiters, 71% are confident or very confident that the executive employment market will improve during the next six months — up slightly from 70% last month.
Mixed economic reports have not shaken recruiters' confidence in the executive employment market, because their phones haven't stopped ringing. Given the rate at which corporate profits have expanded during the past year, job creation at the executive level should remain strong during the second half of 2006.
Executive recruiters' short-term outlook also remains optimistic, as 79% of recruiters said they are confident or very confident the employment market will improve in the next three months. During this period of time, the executive search industry is expecting a 24% increase in the number of six-figure job assignments received from corporate clients.
Recruiters' bullish assessment of the executive employment market is strongly supported by their own business decisions. In July, more than half of all search firms (59%) reported plans to hire additional professional staff in the next three months.
Introduced in May 2003, the Recruiters Confidence Index (RCI) is based on a monthly survey of executive recruiters conducted by ExecuNet. Independent analysis of the RCI has confirmed it is a "leading indicator" for the executive search industry. Source: ExecuNet (www.execunet.com)
