Great Resumes Fast » Resume Writing Tips » Personal Branding Top 10 List – Why You Need One Now.

If you’re not utilizing a brand-driven resume and a branded online presence then your competitors are 10 steps ahead. Having branded career documents and a completely branded job search communicates a concise and clear message to potential employers and with 90+% of employers researching potential employees on the internet now is the time to make sure your job search campaign has a united front.

If you’re one of those unlucky job seekers who isn’t utilizing branding to your advantage here’s 10 compelling reasons why NOW is the time:

10. Because you are NOT everyone else.

9. Because unless you tell the employer they have no idea that you are NOT everyone else.

8. In a stack of 500 other applicants or even 5 other applicants you need a competitive edge.

7. Because in 5 seconds the employer needs to know what you can offer them.

6. Because you only have 5 seconds to make a memorable first impression.

5. Because a clear, concise message is better than no message or a distorted and confused one.

4. Because it’s not just about job boards and paper resumes anymore – brand YOU and everything you touch.

3. Because the employer can find out all kinds of digital dirt you didn’t even know you had – watch those Facebook and Twitter profiles, what you write can come back to haunt you.

2. Because you’re a subject matter expert and they need to know that.

1. Because you want the job, you’re the most qualified, and if you don’t brand yourself someone else will – don’t let others make assumptions about you and your talents. Tell them what they need to know so they don’t have to guess.

Research has shown brand-driven, professionally-written resumes are 77% more likely to land the interview and the offer. Would you rather gamble and hope you fall in the remaining 23% or know that landing your next great opportunity is a sure thing?  We guarantee job search success – find out how at http://www.greatresumesfast.com.

    I could not agree with you more! I advise people all the time in job search and this whole concept seems to be difficult to understand for many of them. I do know that the ones who “get it” get jobs.
