STC International San Antonio Details the Best Types of Career Marketing
Materials for Today's Economy
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- During these uncertain times,
your career marketing materials are important components of your job search,
says STC International, a leading career management and marketing firm
headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. These materials fulfill different
purposes for jobseekers and employers. In order to develop effective
documents, it is necessary to understand their purpose from several
perspectives.
Jobseeker's Perspective
STC International has encountered several job hunting myths and realities
through our career management experience. One in particular speaks to the
role of your resume within your career search.
MYTH: Most people know how to job hunt.
FACT: Most people job hunt with resumes, a traditional -- but
ineffective -- method.
Consider this: Some reports show that resumes produce one inquiry for
every 85 resumes a company receives, yet only half of the inquires result in
an interview. Therefore, only one interview takes place for every 170
resumes. Furthermore, the average company conducts ten interviews before it
makes a single job offer. That works out to be one offer for every 1,700
resumes received. The key point is that 1,699 resume senders are disappointed
for every one person who is offered a job.
The Moral: STC International advises jobseekers to put your old job
search ideas behind you. Do not think the resume will get you the job; it
will support the product, not be the product. Like a good advertisement, an
effective resume should provide just enough information to entice the reader
to contact you for an interview.
Employer's Perspective
Employers could receive hundreds of resumes for each advertised position.
Resumes are used as screening devices to cull unqualified applicants from the
pool of candidates who will be invited for face-to-face interviews. In
reviewing resumes, employers try to answer the question: "Why should I hire
you?"
Resumes are generally sorted into three piles: yes, no, and maybe. STC
International reminds jobseekers that their goal is to develop marketing
materials that end up in the yes pile.
With years of experience, STC International has been extremely successful
in helping professionals in the San Antonio, Texas area make meaningful career
transitions.
