Radhanath Swami  - The Power of Positive Atittude - 2004-10-16 Mumbai

Writing a winning, stand-out resume can feel like a roadblock to overcome in your job search. Often people experience what we call &ldquo;resume writer&rsquo;s block&rdquo; when applying to a job, especially when dealing with online application systems. 
To simplify the process, look at your resume as a marketing document that is used to sell yourself to a potential employer as the best fit for the job.Is your resume &ldquo;smack in the forehead&rdquo; obvious? Will it get you an interview--or even better, hired for the job?
This week on Find Your Dream Job Mac talks with Jenny Foss, a longtime recruiter, job search strategist, and voice behind popular career blog JobJenny.com, which has been named among the Top 100 Career Blogs by Forbes magazine.

Why it&rsquo;s so hard to write a good resume and what you can do to make it easier
How to beat automated applicant tracking systems
The difference between your resume and LinkedIn profile

This is Find Your Dream Job, the podcast that helps you get hired, have the career you want, and make a difference in life. I'm Mac Prichard, your host, and publisher of Mac's List. Our show is brought to you by Mac's List, your best online source for rewarding creative and meaningful work. Visit macslist.org to learn more. You'll find hundreds of great jobs, a blog with practical career advice, and our new book, "Land Your Dream Job in Portland and Beyond." Thanks for joining us today.
We all learn about job openings in different ways. Maybe a headhunter calls you out of the blue or you may find a perfect gig on a job board, or even the old fashioned way, in the classified ads of your local newspaper. However you discover an opportunity, you can be certain you'll be asked to send your resume. What you do next can make a huge difference in your success. Should you write a custom resume for every job? Do employers want to see one or two pages?...
