Building Powerful Documents that Reflect Your Market Knowledge
By Lynda Reeves, Graham Management Group, Senior Consultant
As a high-level jobseeker, you probably know the large role knowledge plays in your ability to influence others to interview and hire you. In fact, you are probably imparting lots of information about yourself in your resume portfolio. This will help others be knowledgeable about you. But, is your professional portfolio reflecting your market knowledge effectively?
By gathering market knowledge, you can express how you will fulfil the needs of your next job, company, and industry. If you want to create documents that are meaningful to your next employer, you need to first answer “YES” to these questions:
- Do you fully understand the specific companies you are targeting?
- Can you articulate the challenges and opportunities related to your next position?
- Do you have a complete awareness of current industry trends?

| So You Want to Write a Strategic Resume?
An Article by Sharon Graham, Canada's Career Strategist, Principal Consultant, Graham Management Group
If you have been speaking with a resume writer lately, you may already know that “Strategic Resumes” produce results. Rather than using a pre-determined template or formula, a professional resume writer will craft a one-of-a kind document. He or she will purposefully consider the inclusion and presentation of every word, phrase, sentence, and paragraph in your resume. You can take advantage of this effective writing technique yourself. Develop a powerful document that will rise to the top of a stack of resumes.
There is nobody on earth like you. You have a unique blend of experience, skills, and accomplishments. Nobody else has exactly what you have to offer. Therefore your resume must be different from the rest in order to sell you effectively. So, just copying someone else’s resume format and content will not work.
