Professional Resume Templates Give Job Applicants An Extra Edge

Job seekers need every advantage possible and Professional Resume Templates can give them the competitive edge they need to stand out.

Competition for available jobs is fierce. “A local company looking to fill 50 openings received over 1,000 applicants,” said Jeff Melvin, Career Coach/Resume Writer. “If your resume doesn’t grab the employer’s attention, you’ll get lost in the shuffle. Professional Resume Templates can give you the edge to stand out from the crowd.”

Typically, applicants have approximately 20 seconds in which to grab an employer’s attention and convince them to call for the interview. A well-designed resume can help an applicant during that all-important first glance to convince an employer that they’re the right person for the job.

A resume is often the only contact an individual has with a potential employer and many underestimate the value a neat, well-written resume can have on the hiring process. Those responsible for hiring get their first impression of an applicant based on the look of their resume.

A professional resume template provides the proper format for the information an applicant supplies to potential employers. A well-written resume will grab an employer’s attention and aid applicants in attaining a personal interview, at which time they have the opportunity to sell themselves to the employer.

Using professional resume templates indicates to employers that the applicant views their job skills seriously. Resumes should be eye-catching, without the use of unnecessary information and large words. A resume should be an honest accounting of an applicant’s experience and abilities that will be an asset to the company, clearly representing the accomplishments and skills that benefit a potential employer.

ProfessionalResumeTemplates.net features three free professional resume templates that can be downloaded from their site for “jump-starting” the resume writing process. Melvin also offers a free download of the eBook, “Resume Secrets to Getting the Interview” packed full of valuable, practical tips to get a resume to the top of the interview pile. These free resources can mean the difference between being hired and going home empty handed.
