A Most Impressive Resume

Real Estate Broker/Owner with Pareto Realty TN #251071

Each time you meet with a new prospect, your resume preceeds you.

 

When Prospective Home Buyers and Sellers call you to INTERVIEW you in order to decide if you're the right agent for them in their real estate transactions, they probably already HAVE you resume.

Do YOU have your resume?

If you’re reading this blog post, odds are good you do (and you might not even know it).

Every day that you contribute and/or receive from the internet, you build your resume.

Every time you do something useful (or not) with your time, energy, and money you build your resume.

Wherever you are . . .

Whatever you’re doing . . .

Whoever you’re hanging out with . . .

You’re building your resume because “they” are watching.

Good, bad, or indifferent . . .

Diligent or lazy . . .

Well spoken or foul-mouthed . . .

Name dropper or relationship builder/connector.

Gossiper or Confidence builder.

“They” are noticing.

What you say on facebook or Twitter or linkedin or snapchat or email or text is ALL out there . . . and it’s your REAL resume.

So . . . when you go job hunting, the first thing you do is “Update your resume” to tout your marketability in your chosen field of work.

In 2 pages or less, you attempt to encapsulate the sum total of your experience and accomplishments with education and prior work experience . . . awards and milestones . . .

and you might take some level of “Poetic License” . . . some freedom of expression about your prior herculean feats.

You might fluff or more to the point – blow some things out of their proper proportion so as to impress . . .

Guess what?

You’re not fooling “Them” because “they” have been watching and know how to Google . . . YOU!

Be sure your job resume aligns with your public resume.

Special tip:

Do you want to REALLY impress your prospective Boss to be?

Put yourself on a consistent and persistent path of EDUCATION in your chosen field . . . and pursue work for which you have passion.

You can’t fake this stuff.

They’re watching . . . and noticing.

PS . . . I just hired a new “Director of Operations” and she taught (by example) how important it is to live your resume – Walk your talk!
