Another strategy that is extremely important in controlling the image that employers develop about you--is to use Power Words or verbs that match the level of position you want. For example, Roger wants to use the experience he's gained to move into a management position.

As compared to a jobseeker writing her own resume, a resume written by a professional expert resume-writer would any day prove better.

But

Before sending that well-written resume to a recruiter, can a jobseeker figure-out in advance what would happen if that resume

 gets " rated / ranked / scored " by recruiter ?

 gets compared automatically with resumes of other applicants ?

Will she get an interview-call ?

To know what is likely to happen , she has to just type "Resume Rater" in Google / Yahoo / Bing , and download this software tool ( free and without even login ) from any of the 35+ websites. Then rate her resume.

Resume Rater mimics the " resume-evaluation " process of recruiters’ minds but does it in an unbiased / objective way.
Resume Rater is absolutely non – discriminatory.

Dear Robert
Thank you for your comments and for inviting opinions of recruiters.
I entirely agree that if a resume is mediocre to start with, no amount of analytical graphs can improve it.But there is no expense involved since all of our services to jobseekers on www.CustomizeResume.com are absolutely free.

Recruiters: What do you think? Is a graph or hyperlink on a resume going to "wow" you?

Ok, I'll bite. This reads like a shill, but I will comment:

Honestly, I think there may be some wow-factor there, but analytical graphs
and clickable-keywords won't make a mediocre resume less mediocre... it
makes it mediocre and expensive.

Most jobseekers depend upon expert resume writers – which is a sensible thing to do. Such professionally prepared resumes stand a better chance of catching a recruiter’s attention.

But it is no more enough to “ catch attention “.

A resume must succeed in “ amazing “ any recruiter – by being “ Interactive “.

In a resume, a recruiter should be able to find additional information about a candidate by

> viewing “ analytical “ graphs – rather than reading

> clicking on “ knowledge / skill “ –related keywords

> clicking on Candidate-Name / Birth date / City location

You will find this at www.CustomizeResume.com

I will appreciate suggestions for further improvements.

With regards

One more to add... never, ever for any reason, use the term "thoroughbred" in reference to yourself, for any reason whatsoever. Ever.

(please?)

I have one more to add to the list... never put your marital status on your resume.
