Interview with Career Strategist and Author Robert Patterson - Page 2

You’ll begin with the basic resume content, noting what should and should not be included in your resume.  After mastering the content, then begins the formatting of the resume. I have thoughtfully provided you with a resume checklist.  Some of the questions are as follows:

  • Is the resume two pages or less?
  • Are the dates consistent on the left (or right) side, and limited to years?
  • Does the language “flow” (neither stiff nor stilted)?
  • Are Action Verbs used to your full advantage?

I would like to make a comment here; this is one of the many sections that you will utilize not only in your job search but also in your everyday associations.

C.A.L.M. gives you access to nine different categories for Action Verbs.  They are listed under the headings of:

  • Communication Skills
  • Creative Skills
  • Detailed Skills
  • Financial Skills
  • Helping Skills
  • Management Skills
  • Manual Skills
  • Research Skills
  • Teaching Skills

You’ll be surprised how many Action Verbs from this section you will be able to include in your resume, which will help make it more impressive to your employer.

C.A.L.M. guides you step-by-step through the entire interview: from the beginning of the interview, during the interview, and through the closure of the interview.  After completing this course of study, you will glide through your interview with confidence and a sense of achievement.  You will have left a favorable impression with the employer, and all because you put into practice your C.A.L.M. course of study.

While the employer is checking you out, C.A.L.M. also instructs you on how to compile a checklist of pertinent company information.  Information that is important to you in helping you decide whether or not you would want to work for this firm or company.

The author has thought of everything in preparing you for the job search.  He has included a web-site listing for those of you who want to do your job-hunting via the Internet.

What was the inspiration behind your book? Why did you feel a need to write it?

As I have mention previously, the inspiration behind writing this book came from the thousands of individuals I have addressed in my seminars over the years who have told me how the seminars helped them to get a leg-up on their competitors.
