_______________________

Are you frustrated, stressed out and confused because:

  • You can’t land any HR job interviews?

  • You consistently get no response back from hiring authorities after submitting your resume?

  • You don’t know how to get your credentials in the right hands?

  • You are networking like crazy, but you’ve had no success?

  • You don’t know the secrets for making your LinkedIn profile page attract opportunities?

  • You can’t get through gatekeepers like: applicant tracking systems, keyword scanners, computers and online resume sites that shield you from the real decision makers?

  • You’ve been laid off, want to change jobs, get promoted or you’re in the job market for the first time…and you don’t know what to do?

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the resumes of outstanding HR candidates get trashed every day. The old rules just don’t work anymore — the resume strategies for landing HR interviews today are different and have changed dramatically. .

Hiring managers and interviewers today are too busy and too savvy. You need to know the rules of THEIR new game. This means you need a resume that looks compelling, sells you persuasively, makes you stand out from stronger competition…and presented in the RIGHT FORMAT…if you want to grab their attention and get interviews.

But make no mistake about it…you DO need a resume. It’s THE most financially important document you’ll ever create. Having one is an absolutely MUST if you want to change jobs and move your HR career forward because every executive, hiring authority, headhunter or recruiter wants to see it FIRST before they’ll take you seriously or waste one second with you in an interview.

So, whether your resume is on paper, online or on LinkedIn, you need one that will open doors, make your accomplishments sizzle and blow away your competition.
And this book will show you exactly how to make that happen!

In HR Resume Secrets, Alan Collins, former Vice President of Human Resources at PepsiCo, reveals his proven approach for crafting a powerful resume that will quickly land you job interviews in Human Resources.  These strategies are based on his twenty-five years of experience hiring hundreds of HR professionals at all levels.  

There’s nothing else like it for HR reps, managers, directors, VPs, executives…even those seeking their first HR job.  Keep in mind that if you’ve NOT been getting interviews, chances are your resume is a big part of your problem.
