The best way to make sure your resume is filled with keywords is to scour job postings of target positions and identify keywords of qualifications. Find most commonly used keywords in 12 or more target postings and use those words as language of your resume. For future use, recruiters save resumes in candidate-tracking databases to sort later by keywords. If your resume does not have correct keywords, it may never be seen by human eyes. Correct choice of words means that your resume will get recruiter attention every time he queries by keywords contained in your resume.

Once your resume is showcased in proper format, packed with quantifiable accomplishments and strong keywords, be sure to follow proper etiquette in contacting recruiters and headhunters. The most effective initial contact is through email. Recruiters spend 80% of their time proactively calling prospective candidates and employers. They do not appreciate spending phone time with unsolicited callers. Once a recruiter has your resume he will call you if he is interested in you. It does no good to call him up asking if they he has received your resume. You risk ticking him off permanently.

When emailing your resume to recruiters it’s best to send it as both a Word attachment as well as in ASCII (plain text) format in body of email. This allows recruiter to access your information in quickest manner in order to contact you sooner.

Recruiters and headhunters can be a tremendous resource to your job search efforts. They are privy to a great number of opportunities in hidden job market. They are experts at presenting candidates’ best selling points. They also act as go-between for candidate and employer, allowing candidate to learn important employer feedback. Designing your resume with recruiters in mind is an important first step toward building relationships with influential recruiters who have power to introduce you to your next boss.

It's your choice. You can wait until you get your needs met through your partner and sacrifice important aspects of yourself. Or, you can take stock of your needs now and get them met. You will then be ready to attract a partner who will enrich your life, so that both of you can expand and grow in love.

Which one will you pick?
