If so, click on “ About Us ” and/or the "You’re Hired” Series to read, or download this background information about this creative workbook.
Regardless of your employment level, be it a Manager, or Executive, like the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), President, Vice President (VP), Human Resource Officer (HR), Director, Supervisor, Team Lead, Lead, or any other level of management, plus all the way down the business ladder even to new, entry level personnel, virtually all of these positions have been assisted by the AMA “ You’re Hired” programs.

This packet includes:
(1) a 7-step do-it-yourself (DIY) workbook of instructions, combined with
(2) in-depth explanations for each step, with
(3) numerous examples, illustrating for each step, plus
(4) resume draft forms (see more items, noted below)
Most resumes fail because of, poor formatting design, and/or weak wording, or worse yet, simple listing of your “duties & responsibilities” for each job noted on your resume. This is very boring, yet, sad to say, it IS actually the only information the majority of folks provide on their resumes. Even many resumes produced by so-called professional resume services fail because of these weakness. With this system, you will go beyond this.
In addition to the 4-items noted above, “your ultimate guide to creative Resumes,” also includes:
(5) a unique, multi-page section of instructions on the Achievement Statements technique. These are techniques you use to develop wording and ideas/concepts that can truly make your resume sparkle with interest for a hiring manager reading your resume. This section also includes,
(6) hundreds of "Explanation bullet-Points" (count them, 7 full-pages) which are unique to this ResumeWinners, do-it-yourself (DIY) Resume Workbook. These are points that clearly "explain" why you left a particular job, why you are looking for a new job, and/or in some cases answer that troubling question, of "Why is there a gap in your employment history?" This is a leading-edge technique has proven to be extremely effective and is included in you workbook, plus there are,
(7) 300 “Gorilla” words, for your use, when developing your bullet-points, to insure each point begins with an action-word, that captures a hiring managers interest, and
(8) Achievement Bullet-Points, which you will use instead of using paragraphs.
Use a mix of information and formatting, on YOUR resume, to give you a strong edge over your competition (and you are in competition when doing a job-search). Your resume will present points that show a prospective employer what you can do for them.
Create statements that go beyond, just “duties & responsibilities.” This technique is based on easily understood, concepts and words, that allow you to write simple, honest statements of fact.
However, without the guidance of this information, you may not do it well. Many “professionals” do NOT go beyond "duties & responsibilities," Perhaps because it is easier not to, and they still get paid for doing a "Professional" job for you. But, you can do-it-yourself if you use the techniques in this workbook. Then in the future, wheh you need to create another resume, you will clearly know how to produce one that WILL get you job-interviews. You WILL see a difference?
This 7-step Resume Workbook, guides you step-by-step—right from the beginning, with easy to understand instruction, and numerous, logically displayed examples provided to insure your success. You will use successful, proven formats and style concepts that can capture the attention and interest of prospective employers. In-depth field-testing, with managers and human resource (HR) professionals, is the source of the proof of the success of ResumeWinners.com, guidance.
“Explanation” Bullet-Points & “Un-asked Questions” (also known as “Begging the Question.”) As a hiring manager reads about your current job, or most recent last job, wherein you describe great examples of your skills and successes, they pause. Oops! You may have created an Un-asked Question, meaning you have stimulated a troubling question. One they cannot ask you about unless they do a job-interview, which generally means NO job-interview. The instructions below are intended to help eliminate that possibility. (The Résumé workbook has complete details and nearly 100 “examples.)
As you review your own résumé, if an Un-asked Question comes to your mind, you can be sure it will come to a prospective employers mind, as well, as they read your qualifications. The You’re Hired - Résumé Workbook has an 8-page section of details, plus nearly 100 “Explanation” Bullet-Points to ANSWER such questions. This “Explanation” Bullet-Point technique, used by Professional Résumé Writers, can give you a decided competitive-edge over your competition. Your competitor’s will distribute résumés with Un-asked Questions—NOT answered. But you WILL HAVE answered yours using this technique and, hopefully, stimulated a job-interview, while theirs has being tossed out.
