Why do College Graduates Need a Certified Resume?

There are hard realities facing college graduates right now. The current economic outlook and job market are the worst we have seen in decades. For every job posting today the employers receive 500-1000 resumes, and the number is increasing quickly. (A recent Yahoo article on 3/10/09 about a company told of company in Ohio posting a $15 / hour Janitor position and they immediately received over 700 resumes – all of which were stacked on the floor). The reality is there are fewer jobs, and much more competition. Only those who can differentiate themselves in a very competitive job market are going to get jobs.

If you're one of the million plus who will be graduating college and heading into the job market this year, you need to do everything you can do help better position yourself to land a job. If you understand one critical point, you will put yourself way ahead of the game. Companies do not hire on work history, achievements and grades alone – they look for three critical components in addition to these factors. Companies want to know:

• Are you a good fit for a specific role
• Are you a good fit for their company / culture
• What might you be good at in the work place environment

Understand that employers spend hundreds of millions of dollars per year assessing job seekers to learn this data. (95% of companies see value in using assessment data) Through our assessment process you can do it yourself and provide to employers the positive ways you can contribute to their team. It’s fast (less then 30 minutes), its simple (3 easy steps) and it’s affordable ($29.99) You complete a brief on line assessment (15-20 minutes), you select the type of role that you are applying for and you upload your resume. ResumeFit inserts your assessment results directly into your resume and provides the employers the critical data they need to better evaluate candidates.

Give the companies what they want, certify your resume today and help them better understand you. You just may find that your resume shoots to the top of the pile and that may be enough to help you land your next job.

Introductory Post

The job market is a very crowded place these days. With employers receiving hundreds or even thousands of resumes for every position open, it’s tough for job seekers to differentiate themselves and get seen. Even with technology screening solutions like applicant tracking systems (ATS) in place, recruiters are simply overwhelmed by the volume of submissions. ResumeFit has developed an innovative, powerful, and cost effective solution.

ResumeFit’s new Certified Resume empowers job seekers with a way to stand out at a time when the job market is highly competitive. It takes the guesswork out of the hiring equation. Employers can now better understand a person’s work style and potential job fit based on information embedded in the resume. And for recent college grads, our assessment provides information about potential when work history and experience may be limited.

 

The resume certification process is simple. Candidates complete a brief online assessment, select the job role they are applying for and then upload their resume. Within minutes they receive their assessment results automatically inserted directly in their resume, and the resume is certified with a digital signature so the data cannot be changed. The entire process takes less then 30 minutes – but for the first time offers candidates a truly unique way to proactively market themselves to potential employers.
