Matching the Resume to the Opportunity<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\nHere’s a list of requirements and preferences for the Marketing Management job:<\/p>\n
\n- At least 5 years experience in marketing management<\/li>\n
- Able to supervise creative teams<\/li>\n
- Work in conjunction with sales team<\/li>\n
- Internet marketing and product launch experience<\/li>\n
- Social media marketing experience a plus<\/li>\n
- MBA preferred<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Keywords used in the job post:<\/p>\n
\n- Online marketing<\/li>\n
- Product launch<\/li>\n
- Management<\/li>\n
- MBA<\/li>\n
- Creative teams<\/li>\n
- Internet marketing<\/li>\n
- Supervise teams<\/li>\n
- Social media marketing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
With this information in hand, Sandi targeted her resume by including all the keywords from the job post and writing about her relevant achievements.<\/p>\n
Notice how she highlighted her pending MBA by placing the Education section near the top of the page (even though she’s not a recent grad) and listing her thesis in Social Media Marketing Strategies for Profit and Nonprofit Organizations.<\/p>\n
What’s NOT on Sandi’s Resume<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\nSandi’s resume is completely honest but doesn’t scream “I am out of work!” It’s not obvious that she is unemployed.<\/p>\n
That is achieved by putting the relevant keywords in the Leadership Acumen and Areas of Expertise sections. She also includes her education on the front page of the resume.<\/p>\n
This means her employment history is not at the top of the page. In fact, her employment history doesn’t appear until the 2nd page of the resume.<\/p>\n
She is hoping that her skills and achievements will pull in the reader before they realize that she is unemployed.<\/p>\n
However, unemployment is not Sandi’s biggest obstacle. Sandi has Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic disease that sometimes makes full-time work in an office environment challenging.<\/p>\n
When the time comes, she will have a discussion with her potential employer about how she can manage a full workload and what accommodations her disability requires. Until then, there’s no need to mention it on her resume.<\/p>\n
The Bottom Line:<\/h3>\n
Many people with chronic illnesses are able to work from virtual locations, as well as on-site. Finding a career that can be done from a virtual location when your illness may keep you from getting out to an office, will help people with these types of situations to stay actively employed.<\/p>\n
