Customizing the resume for a specific opportunity shows authentic interest. The 3 Second Resume format displays Candidate’s competence, clarity and focus. This resume style can be quickly customized for different opportunities. Helps overcome confusion from chronological presentation.

The Hiring Manager doesn’t have to work hard to “figure out” the Candidate. For new immigrants, this style reduces the focus on local experience. The Candidate can showcase achievements even if they aren’t as recent and are on “page 2” of the resume. The 3 Second Resume highlights transferable skills & experience. The focus is on “What I Can Do For You” … not on everything Candidate has done.

I once again would like to thank for the session and all your advice. I updated my profiles on Workopolis & Monster with the ‘repaired’ resume and already received 3 interviews, within just 5 days. That’s fantastic! You can use it as a testimonial — D.A.

Thanks for your caring and support and I owe you big time ( I won’t forget). H.Z.

“I’ve decided to write you a small note, thanking you for your help. I enjoyed being evaluated by you; you are an excellent “teacher” and have inspired me to continue looking for a job and learning with an open and positive mind. I send my revised resume to you and want you to know that over 20 agents reviewed my resume after I posted the new resume on-line. I appreciate all your hard work, it meant so much to me.” — S.J. (candidate)
