You get what.

 

Hey, I'm gettin my Obama money yo!

I'd be happy to review your resume and cover letter if you're in the pharma industry.

 

General advice is to make sure you use the proper buzz-words. People look for those buzz-words. People scan resumes quick and if they don't see what they want to see right away, they don't keep your resume. Half the time the employer doesn't even know what they need. Some companies like to hire good people with the belief that good people are trainable. Some companies want to hire this perfect person they are sure exists that has all the experience they are looking for, along with the personality, work ethic and low salary requirements they want to pay.

 

buzz words? humn, dont know if I buy it... perhaps.

 

You can tell from a professional resume or a self done one. All the professional resumes all look the same. Same.. "I wish to find a challenging position in the XXXXXXX field, that will allow me to use my skills to the full potential to help the company where I am working."

 

As long as you have a good resume, the best thing you can do to stand out is to call the employer, introduce yourself. Then send a thank you, hand written note.

 

In any case, email me your resume, I will gladly take a look at it. maksim @ maksfs.com remove the spaces.

Best class I ever took at NYU had nothing to do with my major, it was a summer class called "Interviewing Strategies". We learned what to do, what not to do in an interview, and how to write a great resume. I'm still using the same form and objective line I had back in 2003 and it's been gold. Most people underestimate how important these things are.

 

Maks I think you did this kid a favor. Free reality checks are rare in these days of coddling. I see so many recent college grads come through the doors of my sales floor thinking they're about to ace an interview only to be castrated. Our industry is not kind to the unprepared. You saved this joker a lot of embarassment.

Objective:

To use my meager skills to make my employer money.

 

That should work.
